. . . didn't get paid either one of the bosses asked if i needed money and i told him to pay me on monday. i know they are struggling financially plus it's the weekend so i figure like hey give um a break they can pay me in a few days not like i really need the money today.....
Be careful with this. I've seen too many people burned by business owners who do that, especially when you're not on the books. The owner of the body shop I worked at tried that shit, he was a long time family friend and I thought I was just helping him out. I was going a week and a half to 2 weeks between pay and he owed me a couple weeks on a revolving IOU. Always talking about how the business isn't doing well, customers owe him money, blah, blah, blah. Then one day he pulls in the shop with a brand new $130,000 RV he was bragging about paying cash for. :cuss::finger:
I made him pay me everything he owed me and made sure I got paid, cash in hand, every week after that. There were a couple times I had to take shop equipment as collateral, but after I hawked some of his tools the last time he tried it, it stopped.

I've had a few friends lose weeks of pay when they were let go and never got back pay. Under the table? "Fuck off, prove it" Those were mostly lawn care places, they're known for that.

What you're doing is giving their business a interest free short term loan. Payroll is part of running a business, if they can't do that I'd question the future of the company. Plus, I bet they don't sell jerky on credit.

Yeah. 100 is bout right for us, although it’s a little early for these temps. We are usually wetter than this. Plus side is it’s not as humid as it can be. Downside, we have like 40 something wildfires right now. With our humidity we don’t have wildfires as much. I know, also the norm for you.
Everything you said. Triple digits is not uncommon in NW Florida. It's just not common in May. We have so much fuel on the ground that this is going to be a hell of a fire year if the rain doesn't come soon.

. . . . . . . . . . .Open a school and consulting service teaching people to grow and rescuing grows. The money will no longer be in growing but fixing the grows all the idiots start. Also cloning services for the same group that requires immediate gratification :)

During the gold rush the miners didn't make the money except for the lucky few but the suppliers and consultants and derivative services got wealthy.
I've been saying this for a while now. Soils, pots, ferts, tents, trimmers and all the other assorted 420 crap is where the money is. In the gold rush it was the guys selling the picks and pans who ended up with the gold.

I had the rare Friday night off last night. The early opening time kept me from camping, but I did get in a few miles of night hiking.

Also got my monthly pot washing sorted. This month's strains are Ass Cheese Blues (cindy's blue cheese x donkey kong) X (blue shiva x blue shark), #5 Random Bud x TPD, Sleepy Ass Blues Boggle (Ass Cheese Blues x [powernap x sinmint cookies]) X BOG's Boggle Gum, and Too Slo (my local strain, Chicken Pen 1 x Slo 2) Still have a little bit of last month's going. The

I did a lot of late season Too Slo's for a breeding project that took a Walk on the Wild Side. Every time I reach down and pull out a few sacks, there is always a Too Slo in the mix. And my other stock is getting low, so I guess I'll be smoking Too Slo every month until I get some fresh flowers in.

got to sleep in somewhat damn sister yelling at me "WAKE UP!". not much for me to do today just gotta water my plants. was hoping my damn puzzle would get here by now but i think it is still in Japan. i should get it next week for sure hopefully on monday. other then that just killing time. i really need to go to the pet store to buy fish food haven't fed my fishes in a long time but my sister is never home for me to use her car.

other then that i just been car shopping. as much as i REALLY want a muscle car im gonna opt out for something cheaper that saves gas. even if i got a muscle car can't even abuse the amount of horsepower it has here. my piggy bank is done as well so when we pick it up i can start putting my cash in it. if it doesn't have a stopper fk it imma just use a damn jar.

Time to face the day I need a sleep in. I haven’t slept past 6:30 am for at least 6 months i losing my mind slowly (aren’t we all).
I have some gardening to do and general weekend chores.I’ll pop down the market get some supplies.
Kids are going to lunch with the grandparents. I forgot I have a gold class movie voucher the one with recliner and you press a button and a waiter brings you what you want. I might sneak of and watch something with the little lady. She’s due for a good time been a hard month. Everyone’s had the flu haven’t been paid what we are owed at work.
Had to shoot a sheep last night broke its leg, bloody wombat holes. She was s bit older meat won’t be awesome but low and slow should fix that issue or the dog will be happy.
I can’t believe it’s Sunday already FML.
