But that stress he goes through all year about prices, if and where to market his fur is a killer!

Coonman is real. Same train wreck on the Iowa site. Won’t take advice. If you go to the NTA in Spencer, or the Iowa convention you can get your picture taken with him.

I almost think Coonmans answer to his money problems is if HE would offer ride alongs. You can’t make up a lot of the stuff he runs into. Guys are already offering to pay for autographed truck parts. Why not pay him for a ride along?

This has been discussed on a recent thread. Someone even posted pics of coonman. I wasnt swayed.

Send me a pic that isnt photoshopped of Dave Plueger and Dave the coonman...together...and I may backup.

I think the job fair was yesterday not that it matters anyway. I've given you 2 places that pay a lot more than what you make with a better work environment. With your experience you should be have a good shot at Bodine as their ad says they will train. Their facility on their website looks clean too. you'd actually have benefits at either of those.
It's up to you but I'm really thinking you love your job and just like to complain.

Good Luck

So Bodine is 300 yards away from your house! They have an ad in this past Sundays paper saying what the pay is and what you'll be at in 15 months from what I saw. Put an app in. If you get that job you won't need the other job period. They have machinist and assembler work there. If you talked to them before and they said they started at $15 an hour then they probably are at $18 now. A lot of places but not all have raised their pay.

You've also had 2 places say they'd probably hire you but yet you stay put. You get on here complaining about not making enough but yet you stay. It doesn't make sense.You say places don't put up with big problems from employees but then say that's not you. If it isn't what's the point of saying it?

If you want to find out make that 300 yard journey to Bodine and find out. You could walk to work most days. I don't know what else to say you live right next to a better work place.

I've read his reply a few times now and I'm still at a loss for words. I'm at work right now or I'd probably have a drink but at least I'm starting to see some humor in it. Coonman you are entertaining if nothing else. Just drive by Bodine and keep stacking those $3 coon and beaver.
As always I wish you the best of luck. confused

I can't find the the image of the head hitting a wall or I'd put about 20 of them here.
