    Hiring skilled labor.

    Black Bear sightings in my neighborhood

    Its almost guaranteed if i forget to bring my trash cans in at night the bears hit them. They have broke into my garage and wife's car. Blasting them with rubber buck works pretty good to detour them. And it's kinda fun.

    Take the kids to the The Waffle Iron for breakfast 😋. Loved that place as a kid. Would always make it a point to eat there when I'd go visit my mom and grandma as an adult. Been 8 or so years since I've been. Grandma like The Rose restaurant.

    Expectations (construction) lol

    Been a painting contractor for 25 years. Never asked for a dime up front. Pretty sure it's one of things that keeps me busy. My contracts do state that payments are to be made every 2 weeks. I never ask for it unless the client is squirrely. Which has only happened a handful of times. I put in...
