All benders come to an end eventually---whether that's because you run out of money, die---or both, simultaneously is up to you
.
Seriously, though, welcome back in a big way! You pretty much missed out on the weirdest Winter season in the history of La Jolla; in short, you probably wouldn't have caught anything, even if you fished twice a week since you sold your kayak.
I have a Malibu X-Factor, that's never leaked and probably has better mojo than your old Revo, anyway. If this will tide you over, during your search for the perfect-fishing-machine (the Hobie Revo)---feel free to barrow it until you get back on your feet---or your feet find the pedals again
.
The best cigarette of your life can happen as many times as you desire---but, you will have to go fishing to experience it again!
