What'd you do in Alaska?

I was working, they call them slime lines up there.

So basically, the big salmon trawlers come out and drop out about one to two million pounds of fish.

And so you sit there and you process them.

So for me, you know, you get the contract, and it says 16 and a half hour days for 7.75 an hour, and as a kid straight out of high school, you're like, "Yeah, that's good money."

So then you went, went through your career there, and then at some point did work get slow, or you guys just wanted to move to Montana, or?

Yeah, so we, um, after the solar deal, I went and joined the union for a little bit, and that wasn't the best.

I mean, it was cool 'cause there was a lot of cool experiences, you know, the travel and the variety of work and figuring out what my niche was, and bounced around through a lot of companies with the union, and then just everything kind of dropped off all at once.
