Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Well I'm still relatively inexperienced, a noob if you will.

90% Yellow Perch and seasonally White Perch, Bullhead, etc. It's a great lakes fishery. If NYS ends up putting a limit on Yellow Perch (which would be ridiculous considering they net them by the thousands of pounds 6 miles away in Canada), We'll probably be chest deep in Haddock and Cod soon. Gotta make that money.

... and now I've added a second job, as a lifeguard at the local YMCA, to supplement the income from my job slinging Java for the (corporate) man, since we've been furloughed w/o pay on Fridays since, like, February.

I'm an ironworker apprentice. Right now I'm working at a friend's business that makes heat exchangers... I braze a lot. I'm working on my welding tickets too. I used to be a cook, and before that I was a web designer. I took a couple of cracks at school too: a trip to college and a trip to uni for chemistry.
