Yep. Same company, but different facilities (I believe).

Did I ever tell you I used to Kayak with Bill Masters the previous owner and founder of Perception? Yea he and I were always running the Chatooga back in the 70's together. Back in them days Dagger only made Paddles and he made all the injection roto molded kayaks. Thems was the days!

Oh and I was buying kayak shells for 90 bucks and giving one of the guys a case of beer to fit em out!

Several times I ran clients down the river on over night trips for him. Rafting in like groups of three 8 man rafts acting as the head guide. I was a lot younger then and not as mortal as I am now.

I wouldn't count on seeing that much. Most employers withhold on bonuses as if they were normal paychecks. If Clemson does that, you'll probably see around $600 . Taxes stink!

You could always pop for the super ultra deluxe suite at the mega meet. You know the Red Roof Presidential suite!
