How bout them Packers!
Looking forward to seeing AJ Hawk in a Bears uniform next season 😆
Congrats on the milestone. It was nice meeting you at the event.
My longest span between caches was 15 days. It was between my first find and my second. Since then I think that the longest I’ve gone without a fix … I mean cache … is 9 days.
Congrats on the milestone, CJ. During a long walk across the ice I’ve wished for a snowmobile to come by and give me a lift. Never thought to actually go into a bar and solicit one.

Losing??? This is going towards your pension that you get back at retirement.
Maybe “losing” wasn’t the best word choice. How’s this? We will be “contributing” 8% of our salary. Contribute is the word that the governor used. At retirement that money will (hopefully) be there for us, but like I said before it’s not just about the money. The main issue is that it takes away collective bargaining and weakens the unions.

I don’t know where you got that number from. My understanding is that we’re looking at losing 8% of our salary, or $4000 on a $50,000 salary. But the money is not the big issue, it is the loss of collective bargaining. Without collective bargaining, the unions are effectively dead.
But your not “loosing” the money, more will just be going to your retirement out of your pocket not mine. and a bit more to your health insurance.
Like I said, it is more about the collective bargaining. As for insurance, I don’t even take the WEAC insurance. We are covered by insurance through my wife’s employment.

From my understanding, the amount that the average employee that would have to pay out of their pocket because of this is $50 a month for a $50,000 per year salary. I may be wrong with that figure, but that is what I heard. I’m looking at this, being in the construction industry for my main job for the past 13 years, no insurance and no retirement, I wish for $50 bucks a month I could have those things.
I am also a volunteer fire department member and usually back the IAFF and local Fire Dept Unions (even though our dept has no Union or full time members) but this time I had to draw the line. I support Gov Walker as our state needs to financially fix its budget problems.I don’t know where you got that number from.

My concern? What happens to seniority if collective bargaining is gone? Job security will be a thing of the past, which will cause family, business. and relationship problems.
Seniority goes out the window. I was talking with a school administrator yesterday, and he told me that an administrator from another district had told him that, if this bill is passed and he needs to cut teachers, he will cut the ones with the most seniority, because they get paid the most.

The ad’s in front of all the cnn video’s… sheesh..
How about the ads where the person walks onto your screen and starts talking to you?
Congratulations. 10k is a remarkable milestone.
My worst day was 8 DNFs, but my first 4 caches that day were DNF’s and 6 of the first 8. I thought I was never going to find a cache that day.
Congrats Brian, keep on keeping on

Now you’ve made me want to dig out the dutch oven. I’ve only had ho-hum success with this implement, but maybe I just need more practice.
Maybe I’ll bring a couple to the winter event in a couple weeks. It all depends on how much time I want to spend cooking and how much time I want to spend caching.
