Had to leave my brushed-up removeable sides on a distant island one December day. When in doubt...jettison. In this case today, things probably happened fast.

In MA this morning. Sad news. Bostonherald.com for details. Another duck hunter lost a week ago.

Shermie, the fall is usually the worst time for the year- long accumulation of pollens. That could be one of three thousand possibilities. Nothing like salt water though. Send 'em down the coast to Maine!

I can't say for sure yet, but I may have found the answer. I recently started giving the old Lab about a tablespoon of olive oil with each meal. The horrendous bad breath (hers) went away. I had tried Greenies and all, but found out my money was going faster than her bad breath. For...

Great idea. Ive got to get past 1980.

Sounds like something we should export to Afghanistan! Whoa!

Thanks. I like the chia pet idea too. Maybe we are on to something! Why spend big bucks on a gillie suit when you can grow one! Plus its the "Green" thing to do. Gotta leave the male dogs home...theyll lift a leg on the outfit.

I just finished cutting down the now dead vines of our Morning Glory plants. These are tough vines and will grow pretty thick. They have dark and medium brown coloration with some green. Next year I am going to try growing these with a solid wall of chicken wire. I would bet that workable...

Huntin Dave and all, Thanks for the advice. It looks like a lost cause, and back to the store for a new camera. This site never fails to amaze me. Lots of talented people and advice. I have to admit that I haven't been an active participant lately. I, too, felt the loss of Lee. And you...

Thanks Chris. Just tried that and still no luck. Guess we go back to store Sunday for a replacement. This is why I still love my old 35mm !

I knew I'd catch one! But yes, all the lens caps are off. Merry Christmas!

My 15 year old son just opened his new camera Christmas gift, and nothing will appear on the LED screen or through the eyepiece. Have tried two lenses, charged battery and check mem card....zero. Menu displays, flash work, but no shutter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and Merry...

My favorite OB motor, the one that has served me well since 1978, needs a new coil system, according to the Mercury mechanic. And the parts are "obsolete", according to him. The motor is fine in all other respects, and I want to try to save it. I have searched the iboats , etc, parts sites...

Just returned from trip to vet. Always learning something. Lab#2 is sneaky, and ate a package of two hand warmer packets. Wife said do something. Called ASCPA Animal Poison Hot Line. They said get to vet quick...lots of potentially toxic iron in theses packets, plus a bowel or throat...

The latest: four armed duck hunters land on the shores of the Seabrook (NH) Nuke plant this week. Then try to run for it when security, CG and God Knows Who Else came for them. Arrested, and about to find out how expensive that hunt will be. The newspaper article did not mention if they...

Hank, I just returned to the page after a long absence and saw your post, and am very sorry for your family loss. My condolences to all. Rich Alley

You might try Scott Zuckerman, Cornwall, CT (860) 672-6032 He and I hung out and hunted ducks in Maine in the 70's, and he has progressed well with art over the years. He is in a good gallery in NYC. Has his own style, but can be a lot like that of Chet Reneson. Give him a call and he...

There's something great about an older, well- used decoy. Not that newer ones on a mantel aren't as good, but to think of the mud, water, ice, junk in the bilge, lead shot and other tortures the old decoys went through.... Good show!

Dave, Lou and all... Funny timing, but I was just telling my young son how six guys could fit into one car pretty easily in the early 1960's, and go to the library or attend a lecture. But I bet you can remember running low on gasoline while cruising and "passing the hat" for each guy to...
