 We don't know each other but, I have been there with mouths to feed. Did a lot of crappy little jobs to make it. Stress was off the charts. I ate a lot of my pride as well.
A big congrats on the job and your will to persevere. 
The whole purpose of unemployment is to get good people through a tough spot. Thanks for sharing the good news.

WTG, Man. That's finding the half full part and continuing to focus on what you can control vs what you can't.

NCKA isn't just about kayakfishing - it's about living.

Never quit or give up. Good for you Brent.  :smt001
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
