What do you go for in the summer?

Halibut and tuna will both start in June. We have been nearshore fishing. we have three different boats we fish for nearshore. one is a small boat that we use rods and reels for. That’s what I’ve been doing lately. We have two medium sized boats that we fish longline gear for nearshore. both have been broke down. one we fixed this week. and if the crabs show back up we will put some gear back out. some years summer crab is good. and there is salmon in there too. two of our boats we can halibut fish if we fill a quota on one fast enough.

We catch a lot of cool stuff on the longline. I will be posting it all on my YouTube channel.

There are some physical things I miss about smoking. My co worker smokes and seeing him and be a slave to the habit makes grateful I don’t anymore. Editing videos. I always had a smoke hanging out of my mouth. Its really nice not to have that anymore. freedom! Not smoking still pays my rent every month too.

Hey friends! Day 170 without a cigarette and 4 weeks completely nicotine-free (kicked the vape), also coming up on 2 years no alcohol….. was taking cannabis most days til a week ago, so this past 7ish days have been completely substance-free! I’m shook!

I wanna smoke a cig so bad! I’m just like….ā€wait I can’t be completely finished with everything bad for me, I just want to smoke a cig at leastā€ I haven’t craved cigarettes this whole 170 days til yesterday. Cravings are strong!! It’s mostly emotional, like when sadness crosses my heart which it does a lot, I just want to smoke. I’m glad I haven’t caved yet. I should get a therapist, deal w the grief.

I’m doing a lot to better my health these days and picking up cigs is clearly antithetical to what I’ve been working on. Just can’t do it can I. Hmmmmm I already feel relief just typing this so thank you for this space. Love you guys :growing_heart::growing_heart::growing_heart:

Awe thanks…so satisfying for sure. I took the screenshot first and then realized I could get the minutes to line up so took it again when that occurred and then my brain said wait…why didn’t you also do seconds? Luckily I was fast enough to get that too :squinting_face_with_tongue::squinting_face_with_tongue:

  • I am back, my people. I really didn’t ā€œwantā€ to quit. I also dislike asking for money, or cigarettes, or anything. SO - it’s one thing I don’t need to ask for.
  • Side point: People who have never smoked should NOT give advice on how to quit.
    Damn.

Currently at a full 24 hours. I have a story to tell you one day.
