Or had a "reason" backfire?

Had a boss I used to hunt with, real easy going fella. Store manager had an attitude, hated guns and hunting. I was told I HAD to be present at a store meeting. I come in at noon, missed the meeting. Harummph, steely eye'd look "Missed you THIS morning" I replied I had a meeting with the boss/owner and a Doc's appt". Proceeded to chew me out...until the boss /owner walks in with a doc we hunt with. " Chill out, HE was with me and the doc this morning, ducks a whole lot more important than heariing your whiney voice at 8 am".

Mother," You and the Mrs come over for supper, been fixin' a roast" Me " Gee mom dunno, its 20* , still snowing and you're 30 miles away".[all this time the missus is eyeing me] Mom " lessee you've duck hunted 3 days in row , 60 miles one way in this stuff...and..."
Missus grabs phone..."WE are on our way"

Middle of summer, BIG family get together with in-laws out in the country. Homemade ice cream, womenfolk talking, kids playing horseshoes, yard darts...us fellas chewing the fat...real peaceful like.O course the womenfolk hadn't seen much of me, the missus is curious where I am. That is until one of those rabid dogs we are being told about "attempts" to enter the property...2 rds of 45ACP from my CCW. Shrieks, screams, heads turn...gets real quiet...missus is hanging and shaking head. " Umm- I bet I know where he is...".

oops
:D
 
My boss knew that there was no pay raise of any size whatsoever that would interest me, between Deer Season Eve and the following Monday AM. :D He'd given up on chewing me out; I'd just grin and agree that he was absolutely correct in assessing my low character, and that he and Miz Sweet Thang were in full harmony about that.

After all, the Lord invented Thanksgiving and Christmas so a feller'd have some time to go hunting.

But get in trouble? Nahhhhhh....

:D, Art
 
Those two holidays...well been quite awhile since I actually participated , with the family and all... back many years it was given I'd be there very late in the day...one must take care of priorities. :p

People really don't want to knw what goes on in a OR especially in the wee hours, really really don't want to know when no cases ...do you realize how well a Duck call sounds the night before opening season...acoustics are great!!

3 doctors and myself cleared the OR, dunno where the head nurse went...word was she found earplugs somewhere...:D
 
The first thanksgiving dinner with the inlaws,I showed up after dinner was over.I was all smiles though,cause that was the first time I saw deer on their place.
