I think i am becoming a full time Yakima Nation-er. I will be starting March 1 as a full time Fisheries Technician with Yakima Nation Fisheries. I will still do my Summers in Alaska, so i guess it is more of a Part-Time Full-Time gig. They are going to pay me what i was getting working for the State, and i will be able to live here at the office. We are not sure, but hopefully the position comes with health insurance too. I threw in one other stipulation too and that is if Jim or Jason become the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, then i get that week off too. They were ok with that.
I am also buying a rebuilt transmission, i am not as stoked about this, but I have put so much $$$ into this rig that i kind of feel like i have to keep fixing it. I can't back out now. Hopefully this will be the last thing for a while. It will be good to have a 4wd if i am going to be up here all winter. My next investment is going to be a new camera. Oh yeah, i think i am going to go to Egypt in January. I have not bought the ticket yet, but i will post when i do.
About Me
- travelwithbon
- I count fish for the Fish and Game Dept. in Alaska 3 months in the summer. I do the same sort of thing with Coho Salmon in Eastern Washington, the other 9 months. I have done nearly two years i a row of this 'Full Time' work, but i am seriously considering going back to seasonal and taking three months off in the winter to get back into traveling more. I love thrift stores and i love to travel. If i could travel the world and go to every thrift store my life would be complete, a nice girl by my side would make it all the better. i also dabble in clay character building in my spare time. I'd like to one day be on a sailboat, sailing and diving around the South Pacific.

Congrats on the new position! Less time for traveling, but more time for counting the fish!
