This afternoon I and a couple of buddies will head off to the mountains with a stocked trailer and atv’s in tow for a few days of roughing it (so to speak) while hunting for elk. We’re also taking shotguns and purchased our small game licenses so we can hunt grouse during the heat of the day. I wish is was snowing as with the weather we have we’ll have to go really high up to find elk. The cool thing is it really doesn’t matter if you get an elk (although the meat is great), as it’s really all about the hunt. I thought about taking the oldest guy along but decided to wait one more year. I’ll be home on Sunday meaning it’ll be the misses and the boys for the next 2 days.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a couple of phone interviews, one with a really high powered expensive guy that I hope we can hire and afford, to take us to the next level. Now we’re pretty smart guys but in our business we’ve come to a point where we need someone who has those long standing relationships along with the knowledge to play with the big boys. I’ll keep you posted here but it looks good.<\/p>\n

The boys had a good day at school and then were outside again enjoying the fall afternoon. The misses wasn’t feeling too well yesterday but will hopefully be better today. The oldest guy went down to Uncle T’s and raked some leaves for him and his neighbor and came home with $20 bucks! Apparently he also secured some work from other neighbors after some more leaves fall. Ah, capitalism at it’s best. The misses and I did manage to get the dogs a good half hour walk yesterday morning which they live for. It’s hard to keep them from jumping up and down and barking once they see a leash or hear the word “walk”. We’re going to try to make this a daily routine as much as we can.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone is doing well, no politics today, my meditation is teaching me to just “dismiss” the useless banter that is today’s politics for the most part. I do still enjoy it though so watch for some to come! Anyhow have a great weekend and God Bless.<\/p>\n

As promised, here are a few quotes from Grandma Annette’s email the other day, pretty profound,<\/p>\n
