The company I work for as an engineer down here in South Australia was bought by a New Zealand company a few years ago. Not enjoying their management style. May have to try retiring again soon. Hope you did not end up leaving the casino down too much??
Interesting. I could see that. Seems a little too laid back. Not sure I could handle too much of it. A tad liberal for my tastes overall.
Invested $1200 NZD, left at $2100 NZD so not too shabby. USD conversion is going to reduce that by 40 percent but a gain is a gain at least.
Well done mate, always try to leave ahead. You must be in a different industry to me, the safety Nazi's are killing me. Our factory is the only one of it's kind in the Southern hemisphere. They want one set of rules to apply everywhere regardless of the process, product, conditions etc because they had some unfortunate deaths in NZ, most of which were out of their control. Before I set up this factory I built others in the Middle East, USA and Europe and all exceeded required safety standards.
I paid for my shiny new prison today.

Another night by the fire. Love this time of year.
Its hard here on a weeknight with little people.
I would love to be sitting out back around the fire relaxing with momma.
We may have to do one this weekend though.

Now I wish I had a rib eye handy.

I got little people too. If you want to make it happen, you will?
I’m not talking midgets ? I have a 7 year old. That’s as small as they get in my house. He does love a campfire out back ?
Geno, get them berries finished so you can have a little play time.
We’re working as fast as these idiots can go. A few of the guys he has working this year couldn’t even make it as a carnie! Check the snap of the one dumbass picking berries into a ice cream pail because he isn’t smart enough for anything else?
i got a shit load of youngsters too, not to mention customers kids.
nobody ever has gotten hurt from the fire, and they like to light it and throw logs in
well, i do got to get Sgt on them sometimes because it is so old hat to them, its more like a chore to them now.
generally have a pretty good fire everyday
there is one now
Hmmm. Bummer.
I have debated starting this keto thing. Will have to find a way to make my own low or zero carb dressing.
There are things like Balsamic and Blue Cheese that are so tasty!!

That is the problem with the "corporate" mentality throughout the world today. I used to think it only happened in America, but am realizing as I travel more that is pervasive everywhere. Part of why I left the corporate world in 2009 and retired early. Will be heading for Brightwater, NZ in 6 weeks for the winter...
I’ve always liked a good salad with dinner. I’ve been know to skip it though if the steak is big enough?

Well spent the day at K-state putting in a fire door. Its about like being at BBQ place and not being aloud to eat anything! Its probably a good thing I didn't go to college.
Nice and sunny here but over on our East coast it is raining where our biggest motor sport event of the year is happening this weekend. Expecting to see some carnage.

Getting wintery around here..
The Child Bride needed to have her chemo port checked at the local clinic, so, fire up the snowmover. This stuff started yesterday early am with rain, by mid afternoon turned into wet, heavy snow. Driveway had 3-4" of snow, could barely throw 6' it's so heavy.
Looks like it's going to stick around for another 24 hours. Sitting in place with a slow CCW rotation.

Early in the year for snow, but we've seen this before. Almost every time we get a Early October snow it goes away and Indian Summer settles in. The key word is "almost". Sure hoping that's the case with this dustup.
At least it's not -10.

And yes, if you notice, we live right across the street from the K-12 school. Firearms are transported with the utmost discretion and stealth.

Not that bad. If we could have finished the last bed of this run last night I don’t think there would have been a problem. A little rain can fuck everything up though
We had some amazing experiences in Colorado last week, but the Durango - Silverton train ride was by far the coolest!
