Our typical opening day for gun deer season is to get out of my nice warm bed, get the kids up, get everyone dressed. Go have a nice big breakfast at the local diner. Go stand in the woods a while and then we walk the woods pushing any deer we missed to the guys at the other end. Have some donuts and chocolate milk. Use the bathroom if needed. Go walk the woods some more. Now it is lunch time so we go to the local bar and grill. We drive around a bit, oh look, the cheese store in Fayette has fresh cheese curds lets get some. Need more chocolate milk. Walk some more woods. Go sit in some other woods. Stop for supper on the way home and drop off the deer so the guy can cut it up for us. $55 each to have it processed.

Washed and tried the new Mothers CMX stuff on the car. Looks good but will have to see how well it does compared to a good carnuba. Drove the turd into work since it is supposed to storm and I would rather that get hailed on than the good car.

Looking at getting a Pacifica to replace the Durango and us directors will get a bonus for this COVID thing so that will help with a down payment. The hourly employees get a $4 per hour bonus until the end of June for the same reason. Will probably keep the Durango since it has 200k miles and would be worth nothing on trade but still worth using since it can tow quite a bit. The daughter likes it better than the turd, except the truck does take a long time to warm up in the winter. Cools off better though. Needs new bushings in the front end and I think I will do the whole a arm replacement since I don't have tools to press the bushings out and it will give me new ball joints and tie rod ends in the kit as well. Cost 2x what the bushing would cost but a huge time saver. Might as well replace the shocks while I am that far in. Bilsteins going in.
