Thanks so much, Steve. I enjoyed what you wrote. It meant a lot. Al

Steve, are you on a first name basis at the lumberyard where you buy your wood for building these amazing boats? I sure enjoyed reading what you had to say. When you talked about the first design being done as an 8th grader, I am assuming that you were as precise back then as you are now...

Fantastic, Dani. You truly are a gifted writer and your style is unequaled. By the way you hit on something that I totally agree with you and that is not always do you need to make a kill to have so much success. Thanks for taking me along on that trip of yours. I sure did enjoy it. Best of...

Hi Ben, What a nice post you have here. I couldn't help but smile when I saw that good looking baldpate hanging on the tree. Way to go, Ben. You sure had a good season and then to fill your tag with a swan, that had to be something else. Good luck on the youth hunt when you take Garland...

Dave, I can't tell you all the times I have used 13 decoys in my spread. Saying that, I agree with lucky 13. That is a dandy looking batch of crappies and they had to be delicious. Al

Thank you, Eric. Al Took this picture on 10-31-2014. You can tell how happy Chip and Habi were to be back on the Rio Grande.

What an enjoyable post. Thank you Steve, for the wonderful pictures and then telling us all about what you were working on. Those are some great looking black ducks. Thanks for the background about Al McCormick. Al PS When you talked about prime numbers it reminded me of the day I was...

What a surprise when you picked him up. Al

Blake, if I had what you do, I would have thought I died and went to duck hunting heaven. I'm glad you are having a great time. Remember that if the river floods, that is great for the waterfowl because they are finding lots of food to eat. Al

I agree with what Rod had to say about that picture you took, Troy. That is a trophy let alone that magnificent looking sea duck. Al

Troy, Those pictures are fantastic! Each has a story especially about Pearl. There will be a day in Pearl's life when she will let you know when the water is too cold. She looks wonderful and in great condition. By the way, it was good to read that you are keeping track of Pearl's...

Hi Troy, It was good to hear from you and I am thankful for your kind thoughts. Whenever I see your avatar and then see Pearl by your side, I wonder how she is doing also. Please tell me how long ago it was when you introduced her to this great gang of waterfowlers. She sure has been your...

I can tell you are having fun. Those are some great looking decoys, Phil. Al

When you said, "Losing a pet is never easy." Nothing could be truer than that in my way of thinking. Thanks for those words you selected. It was appreciated. Al It is always fun when we have a customer who is pleased with their pup. I was thrilled with Chaco's DNA. Here is a two year old...

Thank you very much, Carl. I made sure to do that for the others in the kennel. As for my dear wife, Bev will be back in New Mexico tomorrow around supper time. I am really looking forward to having her home. Al
