VictorD I like the way you think....and yes that is what I was describing. I like a longer chain for my water trapping. Back in the late '80s -90s when coyotes showed up I
was using #3 and #4 dbls traps and 5 ft plus chain....with a single long stake. I saw a lot of the chain wrapping issues....multiple swivels solved a lot of issues.

For sure but it's tolerable when it's short term although we don't see minus 40 all that often in NW MN

Minus 20 is easy to deal with minus 25 is ok. Those periods when the highs are minus 20 for a week or 2 can drag on. The kids go to school in shorts at 10 below.
For the life of me I don't know how anyone can put up with 80 degrees and 80 percent humidity at 5 am for days and days.

I'd rather live in Siberia


Two weeks in North Pole, Alaska in January 1989 was not short term. It stayed between -50 and -70 for the whole two weeks. I'd still rather be in that climate than here where it was 102 ambient two days ago.

He slammed the fruit salad on the counter and got mad and walked out..
I have absolutely no idea what made him mad.
There were other customers who looked at me who were shocked too at his reaction.

The boss was there and told me not to worry about it..
But wow!! That was a first time experience for me.

I try to be as pleasant and respectful to ALL customers and make conversations with them.
Which to tell you the truth.. I’m normally a shy person.
I was terrified to work a register when first started..something that was wayyyyy out of my comfort zone.
But, it’s turned out to be not so bad.

My sincere kudos to folks who have been working cash registers for years,,, they have undoubtedly seen a whole lot more than I have.



my guess , that was the up-sell straw that broke the camels back.
or that was going to take his every last dollar. which might be the same thing.

but as your boss pointed out , your fine , that little phrase will probably make more sales of things people were thinking off but didn't pick up than it upsets people to make no sale at all.

And quit reading them Stephen King books. A poor author and a lib anyway. Probably rotted his mind out on LSD when he was younger judging by the crap he writes. He's a weird looking dude anyway.

J. R. R. Tolkien books are pretty safe. Dwarfs and elves and whatnot. Read them.

Anybody living in Texas shouldn't even have to apply. As former Mexican territory it should come with the landscape.

A little different down here. 40 colonies would be spaced out on 30 to 50 or more different landowner's properties.

Yea I hear the west coast is weird.
But where I am and across the vast swath of NA that is boreal as well as the deciduous prime beaver habitat that is a proven method to manage the resource.
If you cant find a colony then obviously your sool
Easy to find the colonys in the habitat represented in the pic at the top.Classic beaver habitat.

It is impossible to count colonies here on west coast. Every high water they move. No ice so they can get a bite to eat anywhere.

I have worked at gas station for my grandparents, back in high school.
I lasted about a year, I liked it but working with family can be tough.
It was a convenient store .
I wanted to learn meat cutting and kill floor work.
And got out of school to work it through a school program.
Learned alot glad I did it.

Maybe I am a stick in the mud but as Dorothy repeated "There's no place like home." I once considered moving to Oregon, too much of a culture shock I guess. smile

Its too late to travel around when you are old.
Time to travel and have fun is in your late teens to late 20s.
