THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

[Bennettjh]

Why in the ****ity **** is that piece of pink **** ****ing $2050?????

That seems a bit overpriced.

Well, it is the "Dessert Warrior Edition". Only 10 made.

Budget review with the wife completed. We agreed it's time for me to pursue a career change and now have a plan to offset the pay cut that will most likely happen along with it. I either do this or my mental health continues to deteriorate. I'm looking at gunsmithing or a machinist career and already have a few leads in both fields. I know some of you think this is unwise considering the state of the world currently, but I'm at a point in my life and mental state of being where I'd rather be happier and healthier than only be wealthier.

Nope. One of the new guys needs to earn his stripes.

Stripes, scars...

Go for it! That's awesome! You've got it narrowed down too. If you could shadow someone in each field this might help you in your final decision between the two.

Any chance you will formally apply for my power washing job? That's been open for a few years now.

Both choices are solid. A machinist can add gunsmithing as a side gig as skills increase.

I’ll need some personal and professional references before I can make a solid offer.

It takes a strong man of character to come to that realization and decision, and a strong woman to be open minded and supportive. I applaud you both. I pray the Lord will bless your new endeavors and open the right doors at the right time.

If you want to be the assistant to the ditch diggers assistant there’s a mill and lathe available for after hours use. Except days like today, when it’s regular hours use.

And I’m sure you’d climb the ladder quickly.

ETA oh and range time.
But the new guy has to shoot the 90 cal.

Sometimes wisdom is subjective. We can't live in your shoes. Go make something good happen, Carlos.

Sure, no problem at all. I should mention in full disclosure, below is a picture of my work attire. If you notice, I pride myself on safety.

Morning folks

I really appreciate the positive words of reinforcement. You guys are part of my foundation that keeps me planted and it really means a lot to me. I'm lucky to have such good like minded friends.

 

[hANNAbONE]

Good morning my lil peep holes.!

It ain't gone totally yet, but it is 85% better!

Clawing my way back into life, my friends.

Again, thank you for all the prayers.!!

We're not in it for the discount. Repeat, We're not in it for the discount.

Also, is there a discount if we don't wear pants when we drop off work?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

GM all. Quite a nice bday evening with my ladies. Pickle Lady pulled a fast one on me. I'm now booked for the entire weekend. I've been kidnapped!

 

[wtburnette]

Morning all...

Carlos, I was asleep when you posted about the career change, but I wish you good luck! I did something similar when I was 45. Not as drastic of a change as what you're doing, but I understand how nerve wracking it can be. I think you'll enjoy the change though and know you will do well...

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

All parts inbound! Should have everything in hand by the time the INGO lowers are done.

Only if there's something with tiger stripes or digital camo underneath.
