i liked that statement and it related to me. for me, a lot of things dont seem to come all that easily. i have to work for it, against the easy way of swimming with the flow of the stream... like a salmon... hence.. the shortened version.. always a salmon, never a fish.

i guess height pays too. i will check it out next time i go over.

i think he said he was paid something like $50k for one oil rig job. crazy $$ but crazy risk involved too. Underwater welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YouTube - under water welding

good luck seeing your hands.

but he was saying it is a matter of getting one of those high paying jobs. sometimes it is tough. he was also doing underwater welding in the delaware river. no idea how much that job paid, but he was always *****ing that it was difficult at best to be able to weld b/c at times the water is way too murky.
