Lik I posted before. I just started a new job. Walked in like I knew what the F I’m doing. Well I cot em convinced.
Day one they told me $5 k bonus for every engineer I could recommend for their recruitment program.
Well I could have em 20 names and let them sort it out , but I didn’t go that route.
I’ve been doing this a long time. And I narrowed it down to 4 people I’d like to work with. These folk are A. Know their stuff B are dedicated enough to get off their butt and make it happen. I like working with folk like that.
Hire all 4 , I pay off my boat and get a bigger better Lund at the same payment. Win win

Well first one is African American female . Older. Took 10 years to get her bachelors degree. Read between the lines here. Determined young lady. Working in a field that is mostly white dudes . That’s a hard fact and I’m extra proud of her for that fact .
She blew the HR managers mind on the phone interview. Just like I knew she would.
In person interview on the 21st.
Unless she completely blows it , she’s in and I collect 5 grand for giving them an exceptional young professional.

Now to this. I yanked my pension from my old job. Chinese owned company and Russia might start lobbing nukes and the stock market is taking a major dump. I want my money where I can see it
More financial security than I’ve ever had. And this new company is paying me stupid amounts of money. And my wife just got some things with her fathers passing . So I’m not worried about buying groceries anymore. If you get my drift

I may have $5 k laying around.
I’m thinking of upgrading my front depth finder to Garmin panoptics and parking the rest in savings.

Anyone use Garmin panoptics and give me me real world opinions.

Or I could go Lowrance livescope and sync it with my motor guide Xi5. And make a total package.
Any advice would sure be appreciated.
