    You and I must drink the same water.

    Love Hunter..

    Watching news about plane crash in Alaska noticing your in Washington state. Wanna move to remote Alaska so bad.

    But how to make a living. Maybe I can give up veganism. Take up hunting and eating animals and just survive and forget about work in the conventional sense.

    Every time a read another post about Patrick Walsh rebuilding the Martin I think of this one - Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

    I haven’t overdone anything.

    Imop what I have done is just barely good enough. Come take look you’ll find all kinds a things to nit pick. Put you know that’s coming from a guy that finds the odd imperfection is a 200k car restoration. That’s without the cost of the car factored in.

    I’m sure there is someone somewhere with the skill to put me to shame. Like one of those car guys..
