Thanks for your kind words, everyone. Dunk's cancer is too far along to try chemo, so our plan is simple. For him, every day is Christmas. We'll keep him happy and manage all the crap for him, just because his Lab smile buoys our spirits as well.

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...

Go to the store and get a jar of Lingonberry Jam (Red Current will do in a pinch). Warm it in a saucepan with a little rum to thin it out. It's pretty dang good.

Wish you'd have posted this sooner. A week isn't much time to plan a trip to Ohio from down here. Perhaps next year. Please post pics and reviews of the show and have a great time!

Thanks, everyone. Looking forward to getting the boat back on the water.

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?

Forgot to answer your original question. Tenderquick can be bought in some grocery stores. I order my Prague #1 from eBay. Don't sweat the cost of Prague powder, you only use Tbs of the salt when brining/curing an entire ham, for instance.

Here's the recipe I use. Got it from a duck hunting forum. Can't remember which one. But it works. Goose Breast Pastrami Preparation Time: 7-10 days (I normally go at least 8 days) Cooking Time: 3-5 hours Servings: 4-6 pounds Cure Ingredients: 4-6 whole goose breast (8-12...

If you have to buy, wecheer is a solid performer. But I have to ask. Have you tried to find any carvers in your area and see if they'd be willing to loan you a tool and show you the ropes? There are plenty of carvers up around Pool 9, as I remember. Kick the tires before you write the check...

I like the idea of the hook for retrieving dekes. For the other end, I'd go to a home supply and get a rubber wall hangar for brooms, etc (you said you'd made your pole out of a broom handle). They're like $2. If you have stuff that's thicker in the handle, go to a boating supply, Gander, BPS...

First, if your dog's not already on it, Glucosamine and Chontroitin is a good way to maintain joint health (hips and knees). Second, look at Prevacox. Our vet runs GSP and uses it on her dogs and recommended it to us. She's wary of Rimadyl because of supposed later-on health issues linked to...

Ballard, YOU STOP! I almost choked. Jason's OK, right?

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...

Argyll's (my YLM that was my Christmas present) been doing water retrieves for a while, but is developing a problem I want to stop. Brings it back to shore and spits the bumper out and shakes (yeah, I know young dogs will do that). But then he leaves it on the bank and goes back out in the...

Jeff King got into Civil War reenactments. Running around the south with a cannon and trying to rally the troops.

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...

Sure. I'm in.

Frank Peeters did a terrific drake Mallard for Shiloh's remains. But there was so much to put into the decoy that it won't really float. If you're planning on hunting over Drake one last time, you need to go with multiple decoys.

Here's one y'all might enjoy too. Goose Breast Pastrami Preparation Time: 7-10 days (I normally go at least 8 days) Cooking Time: 3-5 hours Servings: 4-6 pounds Cure Ingredients: 4-6 whole goose breast (8-12 sides), 4-6 lbs 5 tablespoons Morton® Tender Quick® mix ¼ cup sugar 3...

Seems like visiting the Edgar Allen Poe grave and the Congressional Cemetary would be appropriate this time of year. I'd really suggest visiting Arlington Cemetary if you can make the trip.
