Things here have been moving along smoothly. The weather is getting better and better. We had two bad days last week and the rest sunny, or at least not raining, and hanging around 50 degrees. While we haven't seen a grizzly yet, they should be out any day now. 
Otherwise, last "weekend" Dallas and I went fishing for 8 hours on Thursday and another 4 on Friday and he caught 4 fish, including a 65lb halibut. We won't discuss what I caught (or didn't catch)... Crabbing seems to consistently catch one/day--not sure why we can't catch more, but 2 crabs was enough meat for 3 decent sized crab cakes, which were a big hit. There have also been lots of "parties" so I have been eating plenty of seafood! I haven't had to buy meat for 3 weeks now, which is really nice and saves a lot of money. Shrimping is still going okay, around 30/day. I think we are at 5 octopus now, which are a lot of work for the little bit of calamari but it is delicious and the tentacles make good bait.
I boated in a pod of orcas last week, which was really cool, then saw 2 humpbacks the day after. I've seen 3 rainbows last week, and watched 11 eagles fight over dead fish that I threw in the water. That was really neat as they were within 20 feet of the boat! Work is work. At times it gets monotonous, but it's outside, which I like, and doing physical labor, which I don't mind! I guess that's why they pay you to do it! Seriously though, can't complain from here! Hope all is well at home too.
