Curiosity piqued. Olybird mentioned filleting his fingers and referred to Vhawk's ER. Now that is a basis for some conjuring.Item one: Vhawk, now that there is a possibility that Vhawk is an MD, does that mean he is a gynocologist?
Or perhaps Vhawk provided on the scene first aid for Olybird at a fishing aftermath, knife weilding session. Or Vhawk is an ER resident, intern, ...... oh well the possibilities are myriad.
Btw Olybird is not the only one to turn a hobby, or labor of love, in this case Ham Radio and a 2nd class commercial ticket with a telegraph endorsement, into a bit of cash generating activities. I used to fix 'friends' vhf marine, ham equipment, cb radios etc for the fun of it. Never even considered the fact that I might be taking livelyhood away from some professional shop.
I opened a small business and did well for a while, however, the fun often leaves a hobby when it is used for income. I'd rather be fishing or hunting.
I can empathize with both sides of the previously nettlesome issue.
