Congrats John.
Few hours shorter commute per day and some great fishing in the area might make up for a little less salary! I think there are about 800 spots along the newport coast so you shouldn't get board.

That's great John! Tony and I feel your pain about that "what I used to make" part, but it's definatly better than unemployment.

John, that's really good to hear. Considering the $$ spent on commuting and the stress and time, that's gotta equal things out a bit.
I know that's a big weight off the shoulders.
Worry about a salary increase on the second day.
Congrats.
I'm just glad that means you'll have your boat ready by next season
Boat fish are way more fun than surf fish.

Boat fish don't count.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Congradulations John. I know how you feel. I lost my job in
1988 after being there 18 years. I didn't find something until
1994. Lost that one in 1996, and Luckly found another a couple
months later. Thank God I had enough time in to retire. I'm a
retired Teamster now, been that way for a couple years.
