Spring Turkey Camp, 2018
JW_Halverson:
I just got word that a contract is up for bids with the Game and Fish and I have until Friday to piece together a proposal, work up cost estimates, and get in a bid. Usually, something like this would take six weeks and I only have a couple days! Good thing I have most everything prepped for camp already.
Can't tell you how much getting this contract means to me, new vehicle, a few bucks back into savings, and renewed faith in myself (that's been lagging a lot lately). I heard rumor that my nemesis WEST, Inc, is bidding, too. I have undercut them on a number of bids in the past, but they always get the contracts because they are a juggernaut in the field.
Hawkdancer:
Damn! Nothing like a bit of pressure bidding a government contract! Good luck!

Buffalogobbler:
Good luck JW, got my fingers crossed, hoping you get that contract.

Got the proposal for contract on it's way! It will be in before deadline and every T is dotted and every I crossed. Now I just gotta wait a few weeks to hear back.
That's the good news.
Bad news? Well, Blue Dog, the ever faithful Jeep Cherokee just took a dump. It was overheating on the hiway when I was "pushing" it Friday and my mechanic says the radiator needs replacement. Got that ordered and it arrives Thursday. Now it overheats just driving across town and lifters can clatter a bit, and it stalls at every light like it is not getting gas. Pump the heck out of the pedal and I can get it started and run until the next light.
Gonna have to call around to see if I can borrow a ride until this gets fixed. I guess I will find out later this week what all is on the list for repairs (if it can). Sigh....I need a week in the woods for Turkey Camp.
Hawkdancer:
Getting closer! 7 and a wake-up! Hope the damage to the checkbook isn't too stiff! Getting the tin tipi ready this week, and mounted some broad heads, need to sharpen them after test firing, hopefully tomorrow. Still have to weigh some charges for the flintlock! Got the stare warming up to make some bread. I plan on getting there Sunday afternoon depending on departure time from here.
