Rich, enjoyed meeting you out on the bay when we were brant hunting with John Livoti a few weeks back! Will be interested in what you figure out for the fasteners, since the goal this summer is to upgrade two South Bays to go on a tandem trailer. Any tips will be appreciated. Best, Rufus

Nice work! That should spark some carver's imagination!

Dave and Brian, nice job! I am going to have to quit going to work on Fridays and start hanging out with you overachievers! Look forward to seeing it at the ramp! Best, Rufus

Nice rig! How early in the season do you begin to harvest the marshgrass and set her up?

Steve, it goes without saying that a bunch of us are probably enjoying your retirement about as much as you are -- we get the joy of seeing the projects come to life without snorting all the sawdust and catching heck for tracking debris into the house! Really enjoying your projects and if you...

Dave, best pic of the season, and fitting, coming on the last day during the worst (best for duck hunters) cold snap in this area in twenty years! Congrats, wish I had been there, Rufus

John, congratulations and best wishes! I have a dermatologist who insists on me leaving the office with less than I came in with every six months, but it sure beats the alternative! All the best, Rufus

In cold weather, I wear a pair of Gore-Tex thinsulate bibs from Cabelas under the same waders. Sprang a leak and did not know it until after the hunt, plus gives you something decent to wear when you peel off the waders on the dock when you get back in.

Tom, congrats! After this diver grand slam, NOW what do you do for an encore? Best, Rufus

Tom, gorgeous birds! Please take some shots of the birds on the water in action! Best, Rufus

Dave, congrats on the diver grand slam! That's what I get for taking off to Florida to visit family over the holidays and letting you hunt without me! Best, Rufus

Looks like the cover to This Old House - very nice!

That's a proud looking bird - very nice!

Great pictorial and trip report! Brewer certainly looks like he has seen all of this hullaballoo before!

Pat, thanks for the thought! Thirty years, US Army, Field Artillery, 1976-2006 "Wherever they sent me..."

Dave, I am sure the spousal unit is game to see some of my "stuff" disappear to anywhere other than here! ;-)

Keep the Herter's foamers...and one day he will be able to tell his thirty-something hunting partner to take care of those decoys because they are all older than he is! I did that last season with my old college-era divers, purchased in 1974, and still going strong...part of the tribal lore and...

Looks great - lots of great memories to be made in that Taj Mahal! When is the open house and party?

Thanks, that works!

Happy to offer $300 for a pair of hunters, Dave Diefenderfer and me! We will come up together from Virginia and sample Long Island waterfowling. Thanks, Rufus
