Honestly, I thought I would be outta here b4 it snowed.
This Australia job is taking way to long to close. I guess I still have to clear the security background check bullshit. Christ, if they said it would take over 6 months to get “cleared” for the job I would have said no and stayed in kwaj. In addition to that crap, I just found out that the place in Australia is a dry town (ha ha no pun intended) as of 8/1/07. You heard right a dry town in Australia, yikes that totally busted my aussie stereotypes. Yes, yours truly has accepted a job in a location where they don’t sell and alcohol. How stupid is that. Hmmm not passing the security clearance may be a blessing.
So the current plan is to be on site “the first week of December”. Meaning I have another 1 month to kill. Therefore when the passport returns from the visa process I’m headin back to kwaj. Pretty easy math, hang in anchor town for the beginning of winter or chill in the tropics and go diving. May hang in Hawaii for a day or two to see my buddy Heavy P. then go on to kwaj, see The Adventurer, and get some more diving in. I can still be back in anchor town for some snow boarding till December rolls in.
Here some pictures of the spot where we scatted some of Uncle Bubba’s ashes this is the mouth of the Kasilof River where we used to dipnet red’s. It was freezer fishing. We would catch both tides a day. Fish, clean fish, sleep, then fish again. It was a lot mellower than the Kenai River circus.
