Getting a little rolly out here,
and I don't have to worry about my coffee
falling off of the counter so gonna drop the stabilizers.
I'm primarily looking for king salmon on this trip.
I've fished power trolling before.
That was a lifetime ago though.
I'm definitely learning how to do this from scratch,
but it's a good starting point for me.
At some point, I'll get fast at this,
but... that's gonna be a little while.
I have some pretty big hurdles here,
there's a lot of challenges.
My inexperience gives me a lot of apprehension,
so I gotta make every little bit count.
I gotta try to absorb as much knowledge as I can
and get as much experience under my belt as I can
if I want to actually make this thing work for me.
This is my junk pile.
This is just stuff I've found laying around.
Stainless steel.
Got a fairly good aluminum pile there.
It drives me crazy when stuff like this
is just, you know, left laying around.
So every time I find something
that I can cut into pieces and reuse...
There they are.
By god, I do it.
Still got some air in it.
I will utilize most of the material
on both of these to make my rocket stove.
It's interesting living out here
in basically the middle of nowhere.
You have to keep a sharp eye out
for any object that you can repurpose or reuse.
I know a lot of the new people that come out here,
they just don't look at things the way I do
but if want to make it in this part of the world,
you have to train your brain to think outside the box.
One of my favorite things in life is
taking a piece of rusty old metal
and actually repurposing it.
It's kind of an artsy-fartsy thing actually.
You gotta be able to see something and go,
"hey, I can, I can do something else with that."
It'd be like an artist seeing a vista,
"ooh, I'm gonna put that on paper.
"Even though it's out there, I'm gonna take it,
and I'm gonna put my own twist on it."
Essentially, I'm gonna put the artist twist
on a camp stove.
I am gonna be building a rocket stove.
It's basically, you're just making a stove
out of almost like a stove pipe with one bend, one elbow.
I've been wanting to build this little rocket stove
for a number of years now.
It's basically a good utilitarian device
for, replacing propane.
I use a significant amount of propane
just in my everyday cooking and whatnot.
So if I could use this rocket stove efficiently,
my propane use will be much less.
You put your firewood in here, just, you,
it's like pieces of kindling.
You stuff that full of just little pieces of wood,
and they go all the way down in there
and you, when you get that burning
there's no draft on it.
So it's pulling air in,
and the smoke swirls around in here
and when it, by the time it comes out this end,
it's burning that smoke up in this section up in here.
It gets really hot.
It burns hotter than a regular fire
because you're actually burning the smoke.
There'll be like almost blue flames coming out.
It'll look like a rocket.
This is gonna be the, the bottom of the burner.
And then I gotta cut a 45-degree angle.
I've never done this before. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
If you get afraid to make a mistake,
then you're never gonna learn anything,
and I'm definitely gonna learn something off this.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain
about what material I actually have to remove here,
but I'm not gonna let it whip me.
The planks on my deck,
they're in pretty sad shape.
I'm just replacing this,
all the decking that's been very rotten
for a very long time, many years,
and it needs to be replaced before somebody gets killed.
Yeah. As you can see, this is pretty dangerous.
You don't even want to even attempt
to walk out there.
I mean, it's dangerous for the dog,
it's dangerous for me, and it scares the hell out of me
when I do see my dog go out there.
That's a pretty nasty fall
if you were to fall through that.
Not osha approved.
I got a big project ahead of me.
A lot of the decks are rotten beyond repair.
They just need to be replaced.
And I gotta start at the very bottom
and work my way up to the front door of my house.
If something else out there doesn't get me,
it'd probably be my stairs
or the bottom deck down below
where anytime you could fall through, you know,
you're gonna hit a big pile of rocks down below,
and you're gonna get messed up.
It's gonna break bones if it doesn't kill you.
Strong back and a weak mind.
Alright, well...
Good morning, curl.
Hey, squibb, how goes it?
Looks like you're already starting to tear it apart?
Yeah.
I had to get a jump on it, you know.
My main goal is to get this already decked
and then this new set of stairs in
and a, another pad up in front of my entryway of my door there.
There isn't a whole lot
of foundation under that side of the rig.
No.
That's not code, curly.
No, no. It's not, not even close.
Well, I suppose first order of business is
to finish getting this ripped out.
Curly asked for a little bit of a helping hand there.
He's got three decks and a set of stairs here
that are completely rotted out.
So one, comes demolition.
And after we get it back down to the mud and the rock,
then we're gonna have to come up with a plan
to put it all back together again.
Yeah.
There's not a whole lot going on there.
The cross members are four feet apart
as opposed to two feet apart,
and there's no foundation under the far edge
which is gonna be carrying a lot of the weight.
Them things ever pulled loose on that side,
the whole thing's gonna roll over with you,
and you're gonna go tumbling down there in the rocks.
You'd be lucky if you live through it.
Got it.
Mother of glory. Pretty damn rotten.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's right here too.
I can see it with all that fungus
that's growing on it.
- Yeah. - You know, that fungus grows
only on rotten wood.
Yeah, that's frightening.
It's a bad sign.
Okay, I think we're ready.
- We're ready? - Yup.
I think we're off.
It feels good to be out
and just doing something different.
Yeah.
This time of year, especially in southeast Alaska,
is just nothing but stress,
and it's also the nicest part of the year.
So it sucks to have to take that time where you could go out
and do fun things, and you have to just be, like,
in fishing mode where that's all you think about,
because everything's riding on that.
And so to get away for a little bit is just nice.
We are going camping. It's official.
We're gonna go to totem bay.
Totem bay is an awesome place.
We, both have a lot of history there,
especially Breanna, she grew up around there.
We're just gonna go back to where we're from,
you know, we'll go hang out in the beach,
see if the cabins are still around.
Tons of little trapping cabins, they're cool little spots.
Maybe do some rock hounding,
you know, just explore the place.
Alright.
We'll come back for the rest of the stuff.
We'll come back for the saw.
Sweet.
Into the rainforest.
I'm gonna go kind of chop some wood down with the saw.
Okay.
Totem bay is kind of where,
I got introduced to this whole kind of lifestyle
out here with her family.
The fishing lifestyle, the float house lifestyle,
the whole, you know, living out,
and just doing your thing away from town
and, it definitely,
turned me onto something that I'm still doing today.
And so, it's made a huge impact in my life.
Saw's a beast!
When you first move out here,
the learning curve is super steep,
and it's just, you know, really hard to do by yourself.
Just kind of, a lot to get used to at first.
The dogs are getting pissed.
Yeah, they're like, what the?
It just went tits up.
I just can't get these to light here.
It needs a flame..
It's just a fire.
I was not expecting it to start.
Pouring down unlimited amounts of rain right now.
This is not working.
Heading off to the coastline
straight across from port protection.
There's a little drag here that I like to fish.
When I'm going through a spot at a different depth
I haven't gone yet in this area in particular,
because the charts are wrong.
So, basically, I'm, I'm running blind right now.
If I get snagged on the bottom, like,
you can potentially lose all four wires.
That's thousands of dollars.
Basically, if I catch the bottom,
I'm gonna lose a whole day.
What was that?
I don't know.
Well, I heard a sound
like I might be tangled with my other gear,
I don't know.
What in the.
I knew I heard a thump earlier.
Gotta be careful in this bit.
Every time I'm met with a wall of kelp,
logs, strange debris,
it can really destroy a lot of stuff.
Might pick up a little speed now.
As long as I can keep these giant logs out of my stuff.
It's a lot better but not much.
I think I'm on the right track here.
A few more nips off this puppy.
Perfect.
Look how much flex is in that thing.
Yeah. That's kind of scary.
I'll try to find a piece of four by four
to span these three.
Use your brain, squibb, use your brain.
Just right.
What are you doing back there?
- Getting some pitch. - Cool.
Yeah, pitch is good to start a fire.
Nice.
My dad actually told me about that.
He was, like, if you really get in a bind,
just go over on a tree and just get the pitch off,
and it burns really well once you get it started.
It's tree blood.
Okay.
It's the blood of the tree, man.
Flammable as all hell.
We got a spring dancing around.
There's somebody on the line.
Hopefully, it's a king salmon or at least a coho.
Nope, just a big rock fish.
Not quite what I'm looking for.
We got some, sub structure
under the one side here
that we can actually curb up to,
so we're stabilizing
what foundation is still here and adding to it.
So now it's time, get a little board and screwy
and get this deck in place.
Wonder how square this is.
It's not at all, I'm sure.
Is that nut, that bolt gonna be right in the way?
Got an old rotten ass piling in the way.
God, wedged mother.
That thing's heavy, heavy, heavy.
Yeah, she ain't dry.
Okay, pull up on the head of that,
see if you can help me.
Help me convince it.
There we go. Come on, baby.
Come on.
Okay, just hold up on it. I'll get another bite.
Hold up on the piling.
I don't know if I can. Alright.
- Okay. - Now, hold it.
Grab it. Pull.
Got it? There we go.
Damn, a baby is born.
Mother of glory.
Time to get a-screwin'.
I've been wanting to fix these stairs and deck
for a good number of years.
This is a very big problem for me and my dog.
Anytime you could fall through, you know,
so it's a huge, huge relief
to have that weight lifted off my shoulders.
There we have it.
Dang.
Look, you got a brand-new dancing hall.
I sure do.
Look at that son of a bitch.
Why are you licking me for?
'Cause he's happy he's got
a brand new place to watch the bay from.
Right.
Now the big enchilada, man,
start tearing into stage two?
Sure.
'Cause that is a 12-foot staircase,
so that's gonna be significant.
I see you're currently using some milk crates
for a foundation post over there.
We're gonna see if we can't improve
upon its stability and longevity.
Never a dull moment out here, I tell you.
And there is something on the line,
I don't know what.
Whoa, it's a monster, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Too small.
I'm power trolling, which means I have a hydraulic system
that will bring the lines up, and it'll drop them back down.
I don't have to hand crank anything.
I can fish four wires and on those four wires,
I can basically run as many hooks as I want to.
You know, I, I didn't realize until I actually got out here
and started doing this that I've never commercial fished
for king salmon before, ever.
So I'm just kind of making this all up as I go along.
For a long time, I've been playing
with the idea of commercial fishing.
It just so happens that I had access
to a power troll permit.
I was actually in the process
of getting that transferred over
when a friend of mine called me up
and told me I needed to take a look at this boat,
and I stepped on board and I saw all the work
and care that had been taken to this boat, its potential,
and it was a matter of hours
after I stepped on board that I owned it.
I was kind of scratching my head
as to what I had just done
because it's set up to work, but I, I wasn't.
Once I get fluid... And dialed in
I'll be more confident
to go out there on the bigger water.
Some people probably say I'm crazy
for fishing any of this,
but... I'm crazy whatever.
Whoa, geez!
I'm making mistakes
that I, don't want to be making,
and I cluster myself.
It's little mistakes like this that'll cost you a whole drag.
We're looking for a cabin
that's in the woods here.
Yeah, it's kind of like an old trapping cabin.
My mom and dad found it one time
when they were caught out here in a storm,
and she said they had books in there.
That's why it's called "the library."
There's tons of little trapping cabins
that are still left around,
if you were to, you know, get stuck with a skiff
that you can get into
and, you know, stay dry and warm,
you know, and possibly, you know, if you're
in a real bad situation, you'll survive.
The appeal of exploring is just finding new things,
you know, finding things that you've heard about
or, you know, finding things you've never heard about.
There it is.
Yep, that's the cabin.
Looks like somebody put a board up there
to keep the door closed.
Sweet. Still standing.
Yeah, glad to see it still
in the condition that I remembered it.
Yeah.
Is there still books in here?
There is a couple books in here.
Wow.
Trouble in paradise.
Yeah, I can see why my mom calls it the library.
Yeah, man.
You know, this cabin's been used for multiple things,
you know, probably mainly just,
you know, some guy trying to get away
from his old lady for a winter, you know.
Or their old man.
Ooh, at weddings and wakes.
I feel like this is haunted in here.
A sleeping bag and some...
- Canning lids. - Canning lids.
Cool. Even a frying pan here.
That's kind of cool.
All the creature comforts of home.
This is sweet. Got a little food stashed in here.
Looks like some bullets, stuff like that.
Definitely a nice little place
if you get stranded, like to...
I, dude, if I was stranded,
I would gladly stay in here.
- No problem. - Yeah.
Living with the spiders and ghosts and all.
Yeah.
These cabins are really good
to have around here though
because if people get stuck out here,
it's a really big stretch of water that gets bad.
To have these little cabins here and there
that people can kind of use as a refuge
to kind of just hang out until it gets better
is really important.
We've had that happen where we had
to just use a tarp overnight in the rain.
Yeah, a rain fly that we found that somebody left.
Yup, so it's like these kind of things
really matter out here.
It's like life or death really.
You'd be so happy to find this place
when you're just cold and shivering, you come in here,
and it's like, dry wood and a roof over your head.
I mean, how stoked would you be?
- I'd just be, like, in heaven. - Yeah.
I'd be like, "my goodness, I know I'm gonna make it."
This is absolutely a piece of Alaska history.
Definitely.
Well, I'm glad to see that this cabin's
still in the same condition as I remember it.
- Yeah. - And I was able to find it.
Makes me feel good.
Yeah.
Close enough for the man who's building it,
that's for damn sure.
Just by eyeballing it, I can't see anything wrong with it.
So that means it must be straight enough.
Okay.
Basically, just a hot glue gun with an attitude.
It's part of what I really like doing,
I like taking stuff
that's a useless scrap of metal on the beach
or, you know, up in the forest or something and drag it out
and make it into something that's entirely usable.
If this doesn't tip over, I'll be a happy man.
Well, I think it's gonna work.
From junk into a shiny gem.
A little gravel.
Get the bottom all covered.
Tamp that down.
Find myself a nice big flat rock.
Do it again.
Started ripping up the, decking boards
and, man, did they take some terrible shortcuts
when they initially built this.
They had milk crates holding up boards
that were rotten on top of it.
It was not built to last, and it surely hasn't.
So we, we live well off the beaten path
when it comes to,
"hey, I'm pouring a foundation out here.
"Would you roll a cement truck up
and pour me five yards of cement."
That's just not gonna happen out here.
So what we do, we use pilings, either treated or creosote,
dig a piling hole down to bedrock or hard pan,
make sure that you layer it with rock around
so it's nice hydraulic soil and will drain water
off of whatever you do have in the ground.
Yeah. Locking gravel.
I think that'll do us.
Alright. Now comes the tricky ass part.
We're working on getting the, beams up here
that hold the top of the porch.
Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of foundation
going on over here, so I'm thinking our best bet
is going to be going back to the joist behind here
and setting up the cross member out here.
I think I'm gonna let you have all the fun
of crawling under the house there, curly.
Yeah.
If I can get out of here.
Man.
Holy.
This is gonna be an awkward son of a bitch.
Right?
Alright.
How's that?
That's it.
Now, we're working on getting the, beams up here
that hold the top of the porch.
If I can get out of here.
Get out of here.
Well, once you get situated, I can... Nasty.
Pass you some stuff here.
Okay.
Here.
Yeah.
Having fun yet, curly?
Trying not to get stuck.
Seaweed.
High tides and low expectations.
I hate taking paint off things.
This is where Patience comes in.
You just gotta sit here with the grinding wheel
for a while and go to town.
Just because it's rusty
doesn't mean you can't reuse it.
A coat of paint and then it will look like
it came from the factory.
So... pretty amazing.
Sorry about the long span
under the house there, curly.
It's alright.
Alright. See how that worked out.
Sweet.
Yeah, that'll help a lot.
Now, the joy of getting out of there.
Yeah, right.
I'm out. Get out of the way.
Like, a monkey a football.
Somebody's down there.
Fish on.
That's a bummer.
No fish. None on that wire. I was wrong.
I was wrong, there was no fish on the line.
No, I don't know any songs.
Mother of glory.
Come on. Come on.
Hold it, squibb. Hold it.
I'm holding it.
Hold it.
Yeah, come on.
Okay, straighten out.
Alright, there.
Okay. Let it sit for a minute.
Holy crap. Hear that.
In order to get the,
widened-out staircase reattached,
it's gonna take a little bit more work
to clear the path.
Alright.
Ooh.
That was my toe.
Dammit.
Ready?
No, but we're going anyways.
Alright, hold it.
Yeah, I am.
Okay. I got, we're still riding here.
Lordy, look at that giant mother.
We found the rock of Gibraltar right in our path.
Got some activity.
That spring's playing a little bit.
We'll find out.
Now, whether it's big enough to keep is yet to be seen.
There he is.
It's a coho I think.
At least it's fish.
He is definitely one of the target species.
Well, I won't starve to death today.
King salmon would fetch the highest price right now.
They're, they're what, what you want.
So, this is a silver salmon,
or a coho.
I like seeing fish in the bag.
There's definitely room for more though.
And there is something on the line, I don't know what.
No, no!
Nice big king salmon.
Beautiful.
Kelp, get off my fish.
We might have lost him.
Nope, he's still there.
Definitely still lose this fish.
I don't have him caught by any sense of the word.
Nice.
A hundred-dollar bill right there.
At least pay for some of my gear.
Yeah, it's a nice fat one, it's a healthy fish.
That's the thing about fishing, there's always some surprises.
That's a good surprise.
Part of what makes these fish so valuable
is, we instantly bleed them
and then we dress them instantly.
Remove all the guts, all the hot stomach acids
and things like that that make the meat go sour
and then... Instantly get them on ice.
And you can see from way down there,
there is another fish on the line.
A silver.
A couple fish out here.
That's a nice fish right there.
Boy, that's a big one, man.
It was all the way on the bottom spread.
I thought it was quite a bit smaller than he was.
It's working.
Hell yeah. Fish on.
It's a nice one.
Nice one.
Nice.
Great!
The mud's too damn slick.
I can't get a purchase.
Okay, that ain't working.
Yeah.
Okay.
Come on, you.
Son of a bitch.
There we go. Okay.
That's good.
There we go.
Okay, I got it pretty good, get another bite.
Sweet. Look at that giant mother.
No escape now, holy crap.
Yeah, that's an understatement.
Serious excavation for a two-man crew.
Wouldn't you agree?
Holy sheep.
Man. Yeah, this is 600 pounds of rock
that was nicely packed into muddy earth.
As you can see,
there's not exactly a landing path
to get an excavator in here, so it's, good old
brute force and stubborn resolve.
This rock was right where we needed the cross member
to lay down for this intermediary deck here
in order to get the, staircase to land properly.
But little perseverance, a whole lot of cursing,
and more sweat than I'd care to exude,
she's, she's out.
One of the things I really want to do
while over on this side by totem bay
is go to agate beach.
Here we are, dogs.
I have a lot of memories there of going with my family,
going with Oliver and just enjoying ourselves,
going out and, like, treasure hunting.
Okay.
Found a nugget... I see what you found.
That's a nice one.
Agates are kind of just polished stones.
The whole beach is just covered
with all these different colored agates.
Our way of life out here,
there's not a lot of stores around,
there's a lot of beaches out here
that have really cool different rocks
that everybody just likes to collect
and kind of decorate their houses with.
That's something my family has always done,
and it makes me feel good
that we're still out there making the same memories,
and hopefully I can bring my kids there,
and we can continue this.
I love to beach comb,
'cause you never know what you're gonna find,
especially, like, lately,
it's been kind of a big, you know, series of tides
and kind of some weather's blowing lately
and so, I mean, you never know,
something might have got pushed up on this beach.
And so it's cool to be able to come here
and kind of be the first people
that have been here after a storm
and get to see what's washed up,
you know, you never know.
Are you kidding me?
I did.
I just found a glass ball rolling pin,
glass ball no less.
This is like the, the coup de grace
of what beach combing is around here.
I can't believe it.
Dude, my leg's, like, shaking.
I feel I'm so excited right now.
Holy.
These glass balls were used, you know, as old buoys,
you know, the old, these are basically
what the hard plastic buoys replaced.
They can go underwater and not collapse
they were used in, like, the '30s and the '40s
and so, I mean, you know, who knows how long
this thing's been kicking around in the straits.
A lot of them come from Japan.
After that big Tsunami over there,
a lot more have been found because it washed so many
from over there around back into the ocean and back around.
Breanna's gonna... My god.
She's gonna be so... I really wanna tell her.
Well, I didn't find any porcupines that way.
That's good.
I didn't really find anything.
I found one agate.
I found a few more.
Yeah, and I found a rolling pin glass ball.
- What? - I know.
My gosh.
That is so cool.
I know, I was waiting for the dogs to come back
and I started walking back,
and it was, like, right there.
That's a really rare one too.
A rolling pin is a very rare one.
Wow. That is, I'm, like, speechless
'cause usually they aren't just laying out there.
I know, right?
I can't believe you found that.
That just made the day.
Looks good.
If you just walk around it,
it just looks like it's the leaning tower of pisa.
It's gonna be okay.
Now, I gotta take some more junk
which is an old crab cooker.
I'm gonna use this for the cook top.
I'm gonna try to modify this base to accept this here
and see what I come up with.
Looks good.
Well, I think it's ready,
and I'm gonna give her a coat of paint.
Alright, curly.
We'll just, slide this into place.
About three inches.
We do go without a lot of conveniences.
- Sweet. - And we have to struggle
in nature and live by her rules.
You gotta be a little more nimble out here.
Okay, if you can pin it right there, we're kosher.
Where you going?
Nowhere.
How's that for a thing of beauty?
Several small acts of congress later,
look what we managed.
I know it, goddang.
Almost out of the mud, curly.
Not quite, but almost.
Almost.
Moment of truth, curly!
Onto the next.
A huge, huge improvement.
Here you go, curly.
First step is no longer a doozy.
Well, this is the, the last step.
Pretty excited here.
It was a pretty good tall order, brother,
but, we made it.
I'm super stoked, man.
This is so cool.
I'm ecstatic about this whole build, man.
It turned out awesome.
It opens a lot of other opportunities
to where I can build off of it,
and junior seems to like it quite a bit better
and I feel a lot safer with him being out there now.
Last screw.
- By golly. - That feels good.
Yeah, buddy.
There he is.
This was a successful trip for me.
I ended up with ten kings, four cohos, and one chum.
Wasn't bad for the first try.
Hey, good morning.
I'm wendel. Good to meet you.
- You too. You too. - Yeah.
Well, you'll have to walk me through it.
I've never, I've never pitched off
this way before so... Alright.
Alright, you're looking good.
I learned about the boat itself
and some of my own personal limitations.
I got a ways to go before I feel like
I'm gonna be competitive out there.
The fact that I'm picking up some fish though
is a good feeling.
Well, that's a really nice fish.
Wow. That's a beauty.
Nice job. Everything looks good.
You didn't Nick the inside of the fish.
That happens a lot when you're cutting that belly open.
The knife gets a little off to the side,
and you cut through those belly bones like that.
They will number two and drop the price
to nothing, you know.
And it'll hurt you badly,
and it's only because you made a slip of the knife.
Good job. They look just fine.
I wouldn't have a problem with any of them.
Excellent. Excellent. That's good to know.
And our guy in Seattle who's even more picky,
he wouldn't have a problem either.
That's, that's what I want to hear.
Yeah. That's good. Thank you, man.
Having wendel tell me that everything looked good
and was on point, it was a good feeling.
Gives me a little bit more of a confidence boost.
It's a good starting point for me.
Now I just gotta find the fish.
Well, it sounds good.
Definitely drafting.
That's what I want to see.
See these flames up at the top here?
It's doing what it's supposed to be doing right now.
Burning nice and clean.
That is the rocket stove.
Well, this thing's working out just the way I hoped it would.
I'll be able to set my big pressure cooker
on there and preheat that,
save a lot of propane, it's pretty awesome.
In today's throwaway society,
I think it's imperative that people start repurposing things
and basically trying to take better care
of the world's resources
because we're gonna run out
of a lot of critical elements here
in the near future.
In 200 years, that rocket stove
might be worth a small fortune.
If you keep this stove out of the weather,
it will last indefinitely.
I could imagine my grandchildren firing it up
and boiling some water with it.
What?
I definitely feel nostalgic
when I get back to totem bay
and back to all these places
that I went when I was really young.
And I feel like it's important to treasure where we live
because we're really lucky,
and I appreciate these moments
of just taking in our surroundings
and appreciating one another.
Got the last board screwed down, curly.
- We made it. - Yep.
- She's in place. - Right on.
I've been wanting to do this for so long.
I can't thank you enough for helping me, I know that.
No worries. I'm sure I'll need another pair of paws.
I'll have you come visit me someday.
I'll certainly do that.
It's great living in a community
that people are very knowledgeable.
They come out and help you
and then you go help them do something, you know.
It's kind of the way we roll out here.
Gothic is a fishing boat, I'm happy with her.
She handles the seas great and she, catches fish,
and she doesn't complain about doing it.
So I made the right choice.
It wasn't perfect, I'm not batting
a thousand yet by any means.
But hopefully as I continue on this path,
I'll get better at it,
and it'll be more and more rewarding
as the years go by.
This is a good starting point
but it's, it's a marathon, not a race.
