Nimrod, congrats on all the fish and I' m glad to hear that the Widow course went well. The reason I' m asking about when you come back up north is that there are a couple of guys wanting to do the IBEP course. Do you have anything scheduled for later this year?

I' m back up north on the 23rd, then after that I' m off to Vegas. Glad I' m getting some good Alaskan experiences in this spring and summer. Black bear roasts for dinner tonight. [:-]
I' ll have pictures in a week or so.

junogrl, glad your getting your fill of 1 stitches bear meat now, it' ll be gone in a couple of days once he gets his hands on it. I' ll have about 30 pounds of hot links done by next monday. Just in time for our Chitna trip on the 17th.

I got to see seak in Anchorage when he came through. He got to pick fun at me for my messed up hip, come to find out it was dislocated. Got it popped back into place when I got back to Fairbanks and it' s been a little sore, but not holding me down like it was in Anchorage.
