One Last Halibut
Went on my last halibut trip for this year. Instead of the usual photo of a bunch of fish, we just took one of the largest.
This was the last and biggest, around 50 lbs.
One more day in Paradise then back to the Alcan and Oregon. The Sandhills haven’t left yet, so I might beat them back.
Bill & Shel have a resident breeding pair.
Meanwhile, back on the Kenai.
I have on good authority that the reds are IN. The latest they’ve ever been, by my recollection. Bye cracky.
I expect the weather to be perfect.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
