good to hear from you. I still follow the tournament scene out west and see you had a couple really good finishes. Good job! I hate to admit it but I miss Mead, Havasu, going to Clear Lake and all the friends I made fishing out there.There is alot of lakes really close to me here, just have to figure them out. Dont know if you knew but the last couple of years in Vegas I was really sick, thats why I wasnt fishing. So I really havent worked for going on three years now. I am doing alot better now. I can fish for whole days, not just a couple of hours. now for the good part… my wife was offered a really good job in Akron, Ohio, good enought that I dont have to work and with her blessing thats what Im going to do just fish and be the “house boy” as I am called now. I always wanted to retire at 50, just missed it by a little bit. Good luck out there with your fishing and business, I know how tough it is. Take care, Carl
