Carl,
Thanks for what you had to say. I'm glad that you have such good fishing. Your love for the outdoors is still intact.
I still vividly remember moving to Wisconsin after living in Alaska for 8 mind blowing years. I did adjust but boy, did it take a while. I can't believe how much I missed mountainous scenery. I guess in the back of my mind, I never forgot that because just prior to retirement, Bev and I moved to New Mexico. It is much like Alaska in more ways than just a few.

This picture my wife took of Habanero aka Habi and me on October 8th, 2012. Damn near ten years ago now. Heck I was but a mere kid of 71 when I think of it now. Now I'm an old phart! Habi was 7 months old then and had retrieved teal for me in our early season. What a dog she turned out to be. Oh, one thing that was foremost in my mind prior to moving down here in the Socorro, NM area, is this. When I was investigating this state and where I wanted to live, I asked 3 different life long residents of New Mexico why they liked living here. Within just a few words of one another when I asked them if it snowed down here they all said about the same thing. "Yes it does snow down here but I can't seem to remember if our last snow was three or four years ago." Lord, I fell in love with this area in an instant!
