Okay, let's get started here we go. I've hit record. I'm in

in an eye. I'm in Paterson, world around fly fishing expert and outdoor guide and host to this show, Hank Patterson's outdoor misadventures. And joining me today is, well it's just me, isn't it? It's only me.

If you can see the video recording of this episode you would know that there's nobody else

anywhere near me and there's nobody else on screen so it's just me today I

apologize you know I typically I like to have Kevin I like to have guests I like to have somebody here to talk to but today I'm just talking to a little tiny green dot that is on the

webcam of my iMac computer.

That little green dot represents you, the audience.

So I feel like, like I've said,

when I do these alone, I feel like I'm talking to somebody

which is you everybody that's listening that is who I'm talking to you are a

green dot thank you so much for being here and listening if you're on

patreon if you're one of the patrons at Patreon.com

forward slash Hank Patterson, Patreon.com forward slash Hank Patterson,

you have the option to watch this episode.

To see me standing here in my incredibly messy office

recording a podcast. I don't look I've always said that I think

podcasts it's it's audio it's an audio format and why we

would record them on video is beyond me again I don't the beauty of it is I don't

have to you know I don't have to look good I don't look at it anyway

so that's why I'm doing the video I'm like well I don't want to have to pretty myself up

which I don't anyway so what I look like right now is just sort of what I look like. I'm not going to go the extra mile whether I'm on video or off video.

And so I thought, oh, what the hell? Let's start recording these. And it just, anyway, it doesn't matter matter I'm recording it if you're on
