work

so the season came to a grinding halt. the season was mostly king salmon and pinks. pinks are terrible by the way and the season ended because they are now spawning and are mushy as hell and discolored.

i was happy on the boat, but the kids are so loaded up here, they would rather take an early vacation than to work for 3 weeks. a lot of the other fisherman head up to dutch harbor and kodiak to fish the bering sea.

so i'm just seeing other parts of alaska now. i work at a hotel/restaurant that is similar to the press and overlooks the bay. i got my own loft. and i finally have time to see the sites here. on the boat or in the cannery i was constantly working.

the pay here is really good. it's the nicest hotel in town and there is a lot of traffic. foreigners, tourists, hunters, you name it. so now it's hunting season and then just after that snowboarders come into town. so i'm doing good.

the other night we all watched the eclipse and behind us the northern lights were kicking in. they are insane.

so that's that. next i think i'm gonna do some work in the alaskan tundra. they need labor for the alaskan pipeline. you work in minus 140 weather 2 weeks straight and two weeks off. you sleep in a truck that is just as cold. sounds fun.
