Default Looks like good country for an experienced welder

Lotsa metal to get worn or broken in that op- Give me a Lincoln SA-200 with plenty of lead to stinger and ground, lotsa 5P, HYP and 7018 LH-70 stick rod, a good set of Victor torches and an Ingersoll compressor on a heavy duty dually truck and I'm there- on the job. Had two buddies who tested in Tulsa for Alyeska- qualified and went there to work in the 1970's- made great $ but $40.00 for two Bud drafts and a burger in Anchorage- huumm-

Vivaldi's The Four Seasons- great composer- I'd go for some Mozart's "Eine Klein Nachmusik" mit a chilled glass of Leibfraumilch bitte-

That's a figment of someone's imagination gone wild.

In Anchorage I consumed (at one sitting) a 1 lb. NY strip sirloin, a heaping platter of king crab legs and three double shots of Jack Daniel's on ice for $46 on the longest day of the year '92

-- Hey Dean-o, I wasn't there, assumed each of my welder pals had the two Bud drafts (ounces in the glasses unknown) and a King Kong burger- so $20.00 each times two equals $40.00 They may have also tipped the waitress extra to get a phone number, Alaska has a high Wolf population I am told.

You are right about the best steak haus/restaurant in any sized town not always being the fanciest- Johnny's on Chicago's South side (with the red and white checkered tablecloths and a candle in a Chianti bottle in a wicker basket dead center-

I'll take George Dickel on the rocks (Sorry, JD ain't my favorite Tennesse sour mash) a Delmonico 12 ouncer medium rare, Maine lobster tails with lemon and drawn butter, baked potatoe, Caesar salad w/o the anchovies, buttered asparagus and besides ice water, a chilled glass of Lambrusco- just expresso for dessert- I don't have a "sweet tooth"--how's that sound?
