I think I've figured out that people raggin' on Nate suffer from envy. See, Nate does have a plan. For now he lives with and off his Mom, and he can fish most every day so long as it isn't more than one gallon of gas away from the trailer. His long term plan seems to be for GF Katie to finish school and get her nursing credentials. Once she is making a decent income, Nate will be the ultimate "kept man" and get to fish anytime he wants, that Katie approves of. And his fishing radius might increase to 4 or 5 gallons of gas if Katie makes good money and they keep their housing expenses low by living in a single-wide. Seriously, many of us talk - jokingly - about how cool it would be to be a kept man with enough money to fish whenever and wherever we wanted. And any man would do this in a heartbeat, provided he is OK with being known as a deadbeat. And Nate is the only guy I know of who is OK with advertising his deadbeat status on the www.
