Had a great hunt in AR with good friends and excellent conditions. Called the wife to let her know that I was starting the trek back to Huntsville. She said that the pathologist's report had come back on my dog Duncan and the prognosis wasn't even fair. Mast cell tumor that the vet found and...

I'm running an old Evinrude 40 that, evidently, started out as a self oiler. That function's been disabled, but I can't find a recommended gas/oil mix. It's an E40ECDE, if that's any help. Can anyone help me out?

OK, due to an overly generous friend, I find myself in the position of having so much white cedar in my shop that it's interfering with my ability to move around I was thinking of cutting all of the sticks to length and stacking the cuts on my metro racks. But another buddy who's a little...

I've had this hat for years, it wears like armor, and I love it. But the wool lining is getting kind of funky from sweat, etc. Can't just throw the hat in the washer because of the wax cloth outer shell. So the question is how to clean the lining without damaging the water repellancy of the...

I recently was given a position back in Huntsville and will be moving home soon. The date of my job change will be right at 5 years since I left home because of being layed off. My last day here in FL will be, coincidentally, my 30th service anniversary with my company. Man, I can't wait to get...

I need to ask a huge favor from somebody who's within an hour or so of Louisville. If you're from the area &you can do me a huge favor, please let me know.

Well, it looks like Isaac may become a hurricane and, possibly, pay a visit to the area where I'm now living (north of Destin, FL). Questions is this. I'm about 25 miles inland. What do I need to do to prepare my house for winds, etc.? I have hurricane panels being made, but they won't get...

The way I see it, the worst drought in 50 years is going to hit the duck population hard. Little water AND little food along the migration routes will be a double whammy. Fewer and weaker birds returning to the nesting areas next spring will mean less and smaller broods. I'd expect that this...

Well, we're 7 weeks into closing on our house (that was originally set up to be a 6 week closing). Bank of America absolutely screwed the pooch on this one. I finally declared the deal broken and we're self funding because we're running out of time and risking losing the house. It'll cost me...

We just put a contract on a home in Crestview, FL. About 20 miles form the Gulf. And, of course, it's not without problems. The previous homeowners were smokers and did so indoors. Coat of tar/nicotine on everything. We're planning on scrubbing the walls/floors/counters/appliances with some...

So I find myself up here in Toms River with carving supplies and lumber in hand.......... Was going to do some Bluebills with a buddy (a newby who's interested) while we were both here for work to show him a little about how it'd done. He brought up a small bandsaw and we were going to cut...

My job's taking me up that way end of June through 2nd weekend in July, then again first couple of weeks in Sept. What's there to do nearby, waterfowling related or otherwise & who's from near there? I should have some time off around July 4 to explore, etc. Sept's less well defined to make...

How about checking in, so we know you're OK. Can't get through to Tina since about 8:30 last night, but it was pretty much passed by then & she was OK. I was watching the RADAR like a hawk all evening. At one point, I counted 7 indicated tornados within roughly 50 miles of home (Huntsville). I...

I've got an old (1986) Evinrude 40 that I need to have somebody look at before I replace it with a Merc that I bought (I'd have to increase the transom height). Anybody know a good outboard mechanic in MD? Preferably on the west side of the bay. Thanks all.

Did some experimenting tonight, guys, and I'm glad I did. I recently bought Braswell's Cherry Balsamic Grilling Sauce for Swordfish (it's awesome on Mahi-mahi). I thought, "Y'know this crap'd be dang good on Duck". I was right. Grilled a couple of skin on Leg/Thigh quarters after adding...

As you all might remember, our decoy show is hosted by a bigger wildlife art show (the Southern Wildlife Art Show). They provide our venue and other support. Today, I received news from the show chairperson that the board has decided to cancel this year's show due to a lack of response from...

http://www.refugeforums.com/...wthread.php?t=787385 As soon as I saw it, I knew you'd be interested, Mr. Pierce. Real classy thing to do.

Is there a chance that your publisher can put out a version of your book that's spiral bound or otherwise able to lay flat for reference? It's really going to shorten the life of the binding of my book when I try to lay it out and use it for reference. Perhaps, if not for this Edition, for the...

You outta the valley yet? Just how long is that shadow of death. H1N1 or 'standard' flu? didn't get to say it when I called because you were feeling so snotty, but Hank said to give you his best. Doc Hathcock's pup look like a winner. Y'all need to make an East Coast swing this season...

Butterflied a couple of breasts so they're approx 6x9 inches and maybe 1/4 inch thick. Made a filling with butter (1/2#), diced onion that I sauted in the butter, and 1# of sliced brown mushrooms, which I also sauted in the butter/onion. Added garlic pepper, a bunch of dried Thyme, and...
