alaskan Summer

Up in Alaska for the Summer counting Sockeye Salmon for the Alaska Dept. Fish and Game. I’ll be here until the middle of Sept. I’ve got a new co-worked, Jill the fish talker Walker. Jeremia Boone opted to sit this season out. Sad Face. Spent the first couple of days setting up the Weir and fish trap. A weir is a kind of picket lined fence that keeps the sockeye out of the lake until we let them in.
It is Sunday and Jill and I are headed out to set the crab pot and do a little fishing. The tide book says it is a good day for it. Fishing that is, everyday is a good day for setting the crab pot.
HomeSlice, Aka Pocket Bear has made his appereance. I can’t tell if he slept in a small puddle of bleach or if he has been using Sun-In, cause he has a little cinnamon patch on his forehead. All black bears seem to look alike, but I know this is the same bear from last year because of his curiosity and mannerisms. If I am wrong I am naming him HomeSlice anyways.
