PULL!
Sorry, I haven’t blogged in a while…My life is just sooo boring. I recieved a call from steve Lafaille yesterday, while he was at work. Steve works at addeville, along with luke, tay tay and this matt kid that I apparently know. A big tournament began today, a trap-shooting tournament. They needed a guy to “pull a manual machine”. I accepted, without knowing the full horror that would come. I was up at 0530 this morning, and at addeville by 0630. I was soon turned over to this guy named geof. Apparently, pulling a manual machine means that when the wislte blows, I pull the thing, then load another clay pigeon. There were also 4 other buttons to press(they were electric pigeon things). It all seemed easy at first, even when I was told that there was a specific sequence, it still seemed easy. When the thing started at 0800, I leaned different. There were a ton of stations firing shotguns, so it was very hard to hear the wistle…Alot of the other stations also had a wiste, so it was very hard to pick out the correct one. I screwed up alot at first. Moving on to the worst part…I had to sit on this peice of wood..Not even a foot wide, and it was slanted at about 30 degrees, so all day, I was sitting with a peice of wood up my ass. This lead to signifigant back pain. As if that isn’t all bad enough, I have to go back and do the same thing tomorrow. The only upside of the whole thing is that I get payed $150 for the weekend at about $9/hr, with free lunch. Steve was nice enough to hand deliver my food, and beverages throughout the day. I vow never to be a trapper again..ever…It hurts too much, physically and mentally.
