15. In Soldotna when people ask what you do for a living....'fisherman' is the correct answer.

19. Never trust a boat coming at you with windshield wipers on

20. go slow, relax, breath through your nose, exhale, repeat.

And hows a bout a pic of my new guitar...made in Canada eh, Ernie. After months of research, begging, justifying and just basic politicing I pushed the button. She's a Godin Hybrid Ultra A-6. Has dual exhaust for either a mellow acoustic sound from an under saddle peizo pick up or a hard rockin electric sound from a bridge mounted Humbucker....a song on it for ya'all soon.
