Jon closed the folder - laid it on the conference table - looked at Daryl and said
"outside of Mark Dayton begin a part of the job and assignment, this appears to
be straight forward." Daryl said he would see if Peter had some input on the Mark
Dayton surprise.

Daryl ordered lunch from the Air Travelers food service ... Fish sandwiches ...
"getting you ready for the rest of this week ... Now about your first fly fishing trip
... "


Can Shopping be Fun?

The plane lands in Jackson Hole - the rented SUV is ready - and on the seven
mile drive between the airport and town they pass by three elk, twelve deer, two
buffalo, one road biker, seven mountain bikers, four hitch-hikers, and ... The
Tetons. Daryl pulls into the town square and parks in the only empty stall, which
is across from the famous Bill Johnston Outdoors Emporium - the destination for
fly fishing stuff (and other outdoor gear) in Wyoming.

"Gearing up" takes two hours and $1127.54. Jon leaves with: -waders, boots,
leaders, six dozen assorted flies, hat, fishing shirts, polarized sunglasses, vest,
accessories, ... and a big smile.

Jon also left with valuable knowledge about shop ownership. Daryl arranged for
his friend, Bill Johnston, to help Jon select his fishing equipment and supplies.
Bill talked about the gear Jon bought, - fishing in the area, - the difficulty of
starting a shop, - impact of seasonal sales, - the huge number of vendors for a
small business this size, - inventory control struggles, - problems with unusual
weather, - seasonal labor, - etc.

Two men carrying four ... full ... large ... Bill Johnston Outdoor Emporium logo
bags, walking down the wood sidewalks, attracts attention in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. After the bags are loaded in the SUV, Daryl drives to the home of
Scott Hunter. A silhouette of a sail boat sits atop the log entry arch to the 300
acre site. Daryl tells the reader's digest version of Scott's custom design-and-
build sailboat factory. His company is the number one custom sailboat builder in
America. It's five minutes down a tree-lined gravel road to the clearing where the
house sits above the Snake River [no!, more like a big cabin, - No!, it's a lodge].

A similar rental is parked on the gravel area across from the "lodge". Daryl pulls
up next to the other rental and says "David Sontag is here. David is retired at 42.
He started Junk-It trash hauling service in Minnesota, expanded to ten states,
then sold for twice it's asset value ... somewhere north of 80 million dollars. ....
Don't let their wealth fool you. These guys worked hard for
