    Yeah, no sagging.... ;) haha I hate watching people down there rip their hooks through the water. Pisses me off something fierce. I try to fly fish for them but I'll be honest, I suck at catching reds. Trout? Different story. But I'm not good at lining reds lol.

    Do some fishing like Ben said. Halibut out of homer. Or a combo halibut/salmon charter out of Seward would be good as well. Ling cod season opens July 15 as well so you'd be able to hit them too. Reds will be running thick in the Kenai by then if you fancy some combat fishing. Tons of options, really.

    Well, I'm officially a home owner. Its not every day I spend a quarter mil :p. Lol I love that they show you what you pay over the life of the loan, if you just make the payments. So by 2041 (thats right, 2041, let that sink in) my 248,000 dollar house will have cost me 428,000 dollars if I just make the payments. Two extra payments to the principal per year will almost cut it in half lol. Crazy.

    Haha well if theres one thing I do have its space. Big corner lot. However, the garage is separate from the house and has been turned into a hair salon for my wife she can be home more. I do have a shed though, and many many plans of a 3 bay garage :)
