those are pretty cool. I hope my wife doesn't see them, I'll have another project to do.

What a bunch of old geezers we have around here. I'll be 68 in a couple weeks and feel comfortable in this group. Retirement is such a final thing, I think of it more of a change to the next available thing. Sitting Bull was quoted saying "when the buffalo are gone, we will hunt mice, for we...

These are on order and I don't have the time to move them back and forth. However I'm going to make one to send to you and let you do your magic on it.

I don't particularly like almond for much of anything without mixing it and I really like the head color on SJ's black duck. I'm going to have to dig around and figure all that out, I've got to try out the sand. i'm assuming that is what SJ used on the head of the black duck, what flocking did...

I checked on amazon and the prices are all over the place. I saw two quarts for $26 and one quart for $26, I wonder how that all shakes out. That color looks very close to what I've mixed starting with almond and brown that I used on the heads of black ducks. the bill colors you mention are...

yep, you are the "Bob". Where do you get your sand color? I haven't seen it at our ACE hardware or at Home Depot. I've been mixing colors to get where I want to go in the sand direction. I'm really curious about your beak colors. I've only made a half dozen specks over the past 20 years...

wow, everyone is doing so good on this flocking process. It all sounds pretty familiar on color choices. I need Bob to give me his flocking recipes for specks, I've got six of them in front of me. I'll preface this next statement that it is a joke. Don't you know it takes 5 days for...

under 50 days, it's getting close. I find myself in the shop all the time, but that was the case before retirement since I'm doing the same thing I've always done the last 45 years, make stuff. It's real nice to be able to do what you want when you want and not have to wait till after work or...

I've seen rattlers around here a couple of times in October while deer hunting and chukar hunting. I figure by this time of year they are beginning to congregate around denning areas. Our temps right now are pretty average for this time of years, but here in South Central Idaho we need some...

I spent the morning roughing out some specks and a canvasback. It's high level static cling out there right now.

yep, that's why we live out here. Those brownies aren't bad, better than the average, my favorite trout on a fly rod. Our sage grouse has kind of gone in the tank here, we used to hunt them a lot, almost like big game upland hunting. Love the country out here, I lived in Alaska awhile, I tell...

Lots of stuff in the works in the shop these days. Weather is great and there are no ducks here yet, a good time to get some stuff finished up. I've got a pintail/mallard in a new pose, I'm well over 50 poses now from one pattern, I'm calling this one the "sleepy scratcher". It's kind of like...
