Thank you Todd for the info. Much appreciated. That small muscle is my favorite cut of the breast meat. When I was camp cook each day when we butchered ducks that "fillet" as my buddy called it was saved for Duck Fillet Omelets on Sunday. As there was no Sunday hunting they were a special treat...

Some of the best riding and swimming river use wood and canvas covered decoys I've made have no keels just lead pads. Where the anchor line is attached to the decoy is crucial, as is the length of anchor line. Barrel Snap & Swivel do wonders.... Farther back the weight of/on the decoy there is...

The design of the decoy, how it's made and it's use dictates IF a keel is needed or not. Specifics are broad, hollow decoy, solid decoy, cork, wood, canvas, plastic, etc. Study the old decoys from all areas and you will learn much. Ya want a short cut, there are none. Anchor line wrapped around...

I worked for Westinghouse at the plant that made (at that time) the largest transformers in the world. They had to invent a RR car that the transformer became a part of for transport.

Capt. Harry was a regular fixture at the Westlake Ohio Decoy Show in the 1980's & 1990's. He had a corner suite on the bottom floor. His get togethers/parties were seafood extravaganzas, standing room only jammed packed with decoy loving people. The weather was always cold and snowy. Ya knew...

Patrick, Looking good. To quote the title of Thomas Aquinas Daly's book - THE PAINTING SEASON. It's here now. Oil paint Least Bittern on wine case lid. Was inspired as I watched one up close last year while fly fishing. The smallest member of the Heron family and can really do a...

James Gang - FUNK 49. Saw them at a club in Youngstown, Ohio cost of admission $1.00. Major and "new" Bands each week at different venues. Incredible crazy times they were. Sound tracks of the 1960's and 1970's, live and in person. One reason (added to others) as to why I have hearing aids. The...
