Bridget, I've had good success using microsoft picture manager software to resize jpg. Specifically to meet the kilobyte restrictions. The other thing is when changing the avatar, it may not "stick" so you have to click an f function (i forget which one, f9 f4?--- there's a FAQ that...

Jack, I see you picked out a Chessie in your earlier post. Hope to see some pics. I was sent an article from a friend who clipped it from "The Retriever Journal Dec/Jan 2009 : The view form the pier by Casiner "Cas" Cecum" which I found to be perfect for the chessie owner. It's long but I'll...

Great story and thanks for sharing. I haven't been successful in bagging a tom in the spring hunts up here in NY. I've had opportunities but like you have missed 2 times!! I'm hoping the third opportunity presents itself this May and I can redeem myself. I can't figure out how I can hit a...

Great Scott!!!!! Glad to here a positive attitude and diagnosis.

Been thinking about this fast melt conditions. Here's another link http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?05054000 looks like the stage is 7 feet over flood levels. Keep safe out there, and keep us posted. I'll hope for the best for you guys.

are they calling you Mr. Skywalker? Wish I was joining you all, take lots of pictures.

Paul, It's been a few years now, I think it's going on three, but I can never figure out what to get her for an anniversary present. Did you know there is a "thing" out there that the women memorize since young gals. It's says get paper for the 1st year anniversary, cloth/linen for the...

Good deal. I'm still carving a bufflehead I started 4 years ago no paint on him or his friends. I figure I better start buying nice birds because at the rate I work, and over thinking things, I'll never have them painted. This might be the year, lots of folks stoking the fire to get them...

Very Nice!! As one door closes another opens. I wish you the best of luck in the carving business, from the looks of the pictures you are having a good start. How are you taking orders for decoy work? is there a web page you are setting up or should a person just contact you through a...

Good vibes being sent, hang in there. I hate going to my doctor, but your suggestions are being taken seriously.

Shocked to hear this news, and sad to see him go. My prayers to the Harker family during these times. God Bless Lee.

Thank goodness you didn't post the "Earnie" picture of you! This is a decent site and we'd like to keep it decent. As far as comments to your decoys all I can say is they have more paint on them then mine. I can also say they don't look like seagulls anymore.

I'm at the same stage as you. I recently tried the funnel and shop vac and it works, but I still wear the mask. The shop vac is a bit noisy I place the vac outside when I can. Right now, I'm looking for dust collectors. Andrew's carving box looks like a nice set up to try with the vac, or...

Seagull ;>) Looks good, you are making progress, more than what I can say for myself.

Thanks Bob, It seems easy enough.

Any pictures? A funnel hooked up to a lap dust collector, pretty straight forward any favorite brand? I did some google searches for portable dust collectors, there was one from delta but don't know if it'll hold up. The other thing about the dust collector is the 30 micron - 5 micron -1...

That's not my stuff, my wife uses them every once in a while. I think she'd notice if I took the blower out of the one she calls the dryer :0)

I'm back into the phase of carving using the foredom, thanks to Mike (LI-Mike) for the push. My garage is finally available for carving and for the most part I wear a respirator while carving. I've been using a 12 gal wet/dry vac to clean up the dust but it's everywhere. The respirator works...

Bob, do you ever get tired of hearing how amazing your work looks? I see you are making the best of your down time, keep it up. I'm hoping your vision comes back straight ;0)
