So, well, I knew I saw a lot of pictures of you fly fishing.
You had all this gear on and I mean, you were out there and I guess that was in Colorado, right?
So do you know how to fly fish, or was that just kind of a photo op you were doing?
You were there, and you cared.
I just didn't know if you really knew how to fly fish, because I don't.
See, I don't know how to work anything but like a Zebco 33.
You know what I mean?
Push the button, throw it, and then reel them in.
You mentioned Snake River Canyon.
So how close is that to where Evel Knievel tried to jump the Snake River?
Do you remember that?
Boy, that was a big deal when I was a kid because, you know, we used to watch Evil Knievel every Saturday, you know, or whatever with Howard Cosell on ABC's Wide World of Sports.
And you could run it and zip it.
You know, he jumped buses and all that.
And then he tried to jump Snake River on a special modified motorcycle that was like a rocket.
And it had an automatic parachute, if I remember the story right, but he decided to manually hold it.
And when the rocket took off, it had so much G-force, he let go.
And so the parachute came out immediately as it was going up, so he didn't make it over the river.
But, oh, the excitement of it all when you were a kid.
Yeah, I tend to get off chasing rabbits sometimes.
