Well I guess my homecoming will be short lived. I got my release date today. I will officially be released from this project in Galveston on Dec. 15. So a short vacation home for christmas, maybe some super cold fishing. Then the big decisions

1. Saltlake City, Utah for 5 years

2. Port Author, Texas for 3 years

3. Franklin, Texas for 3 years

4. Houston, Texas for 2 more years

5. Baton Rouge, Lousiana for 5 years

What the hell. Leaning heavily towards the Saltlake job or the Franklin Teaxas job. Franklin is REALLY KUNTRY, but has great bass fishing and hunting and the land is fairly cheap. Being an offshore guy my whole life Bass fishing sounds kinda relaxing. I have never been hunting so that sounds fun too.

Saltlake City......Well, my better half loves to snowboard and go hiking, and she loves Park City so maybe I make a sacrifice for her and learn to catch rainbow trout and wrap custom fly rods.

Hell i don't know what to do????????????????:banghead

Glory, how is the rodbuilding going have not seen anything from you in a while? I bass fished from the time I was able to walk until high school it is fun but gets boring after a while. Show us some pics of your newest project when you get a chance. :letsdrink

For PEACE of mind, it looks like Salt Lake City to me. And Fly fishing is fun. Could be much worse places that you'd have to choose from.

 

[Brad King]

Will do Seminole. I took a little break on the rod's. I started back last night on the Alabama theme rod, with chevron butt wrap. I will post some pics when I get further along.

Very true Tuna man. I did turn down Russia and Iraq.

With your attitude I think you will be happy wherever you land. Baton Rouge is in Sportsman's Paradise and not too far from prime offshore waters. There's plenty of hunting and freshwater fishing too if you want to try as well.However, if Mamma ain't happy, nobody's happy, so Utah might be the best all round choice.

Yeah, I found her a 3500 sq ft. house in the mountains up there. Hot tub,the whole kit and kaboodle.Since she always stays in P-cola while I travel I thought maybe I could set her up in a nice mountain cabin for a few years, she could take some on-line college classes, do some snow boarding and enjoy herself for a while. Maybe even teach this old surfer how to carve up the mountain too.:letsdrink

He did say he was married.

Glory you will have to look at it as alittle time off away from offshore and make the best of it. Remember there is a season for everything. Enjoy the change and spend some time with your wife, it will payoff in the end.

 

[Brad King]

The mountains do sound kinda fun.. Being an Ex-Army Ranger it has been a while since I was in the woods. I would like to hike, and explore and climb and eat what I can kill. WOW, Utah is starting to look better by the minute

There's no beer in Utah.

Well my father in law was stationed at Hill ,AFB outside Salt Lake and I went there as much as I could the hiking in the mountains was great and there are deer everywhere up there, if I could live there for a few years I would do it in a heart beat, we rode the bobsled with an olympic driver at park city my father in law knew, it was unreal 87 mph less the one minute ride and it was awesome,southern utah is cool too, red rock was awesome, good luck
