Only 2 weeks? Come down to Texas....we get about 11 months.

That much summer would seriously cut in to ski season though.
We could not have that.

G'Mae ...

Interesting bit of history. I had no idea I was post #1000 on TPBM thread.

No he has not done anything to warrant that YET!

I'm trying but the mousey is fast on her feet.

Hey Jim, did you get the pole up and the giant mirror installed behind the bar yet. I don't have eyes in the back of my head and I need the mirror to keep an eye on Lisa.

why just tie the lead good and tight around the bar stool sit on said bar stool and enjoy a long cold one

My favorite shot (barring those of my family of course ) of the trip

Very nice as were your other shots, nice to see you shooting again. Your hikes should afford you and Daisy lots of quality time.

Wow the wife ain't lyin'...I am an ugly duckling.

This quacked me up. Have you found how nice the 100-400 is for shooting groups of flowers? I use it as much if not more than the 100mm macro for flowers.

Well pull up a bar stool little lady. We are serving fruit punch with Everclear and rohypnol.

Except for the rohypnol, been there done that, once and never again.

Definition:

Becky is rolling herself in the paint pan, then making images of herself on the floor.

You are getting to know me too well. It was the snow angel last winter, wasn't it, that gave it away.

Jinx does not attack sprinklers but she is a swimmer.

Skritch her white chin for me, Zane, please.

We are headed to Murtle Lake, in Wells Grey Provincial Park, in BC.

Looks like a fantastic place to get away.

Congrats, Maxey, I can't wait to see some shots.

think I could live on the top of a mountain in a cabin very happily.

I know I could, a spot like Jim is going to would be ideal.

Permie gets free run from the leash when she is in the bar though we all watch the doors, dragon hatch, and windows very carefully.

G'MAE all. Got to run and earn my pay, will check in later.

Mike, should you visit again, this is a lovely shot.

That must have been nice.

Technically, we don't even get sick leave. It's really all part of the same PTO bank for us. Payroll does calculate vacation and sick time separately, but the hours all go to the same bank with that 420 hour cap. It doesn't matter if we call in sick or schedule a vacation, the time comes out of there. And, if someone leaves the company for whatever reason (quit, retire, fired), that bank gets cashed out completely.

We do accrue ESL (Extended Sick Leave) that goes to a separate bank, but that's only available to those who are out for an extended period of time, as the name implies. In other words, maternity leave, surgery and recovery, etc. I forget the length of time we'd have to be away from work before we start drawing from the ESL bank, but it's something like two weeks. Until that point we'd be getting paid from our PTO hours. There is no cap for the ESL bank, and there's no way to cash it out under any circumstances. If we never use it, we just lose it.

It was nice...at his salary, it would be somewhere about maybe 50K then minus taxes. Although, I don't know if its received 100% or a percentage of. My wife has a sick leave bank. They don't accrue, they just use sick leave when needed and will never get any cashed out. Vacation time is separate...at her time in company a set 3 weeks.

It's Cat's fault. Without her here, the thread would have split sometime today....

So...it's always Cat's fault?

Yeah, in our fall/winter seasons, Texas would probably get the wind chill of a cool summer breeze in Canada. You can always travel away for ski season.

Thanks Becky. I have not tried the 100-400mm for groups of flowers yet. The butterfly shot I posted yesterday would be the closest to that.

You'll like the video .
