    tradesman named Wayne

    There was a tradesman, a painter called Wayne, who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often would thin down paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for quite some time, but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big...

    Shell Key 5-21-04

    Friend Pirougue: (stole that from Bear but it seems so right). That was a beautiful account of your camping, bird rescue trip. Reminds me of a similar rescue I had that I thought you might enjoy. Once upon a time--NO that's not it. This is true, like your story. I live in Cape Canaveral...

    Old Tallahatchie River Trip

    Oldtimer; I'm all misty eyed after reading your report. Fine-fine piece of work. Hope you post more of that beautiful rhetoric and descriptive prose about your Southern canoeing. Your skill made me think I was right there with you and wanted to reach out and grab one of the spoonbills...

    It aint gwine ta be long now......

    Draino: Sorry you didn't fill your turkey tag. Hopefully next year. My tag starts next week. I have been watching 8 turkeys (sometimes 10) wander all over my fields and still haven't seen a big tom. A friend of mine got his Friday. Got a new slate caller, stepped out of his car-tried it...

    It aint gwine ta be long now......

    Hey Draino and Swampy and all you other hunters. Just got to report this. It's 6:36PM and just got up from the supper table, looked out the kitchen window (which overlooks a 42 acre corn stubble field) and saw a glob of black objects walk around on the crest of a hill. Thought--that's not the...

    It aint gwine ta be long now......

    Draino: Glad to see one of the canoing guys into turkey hunting and salmon fishing. I t's been too cool to do any fiberglassing and/or varnishing on the two canoes I have ready for those steps so I have been working on paddles. Normally when I set up just outside my workshop door I can look...

    St, Mary's day two and three

    pictures Swampy: I didn't see you taking all those pictures. Man what beauties (except for some taken of us wild men). You son-of-a-gun. Your talents are hidden under a bushel---bring them out---publish them and give old what's-his-name (Chucks favorite author, Cliff Jacobson) a run for his...

    Bayou Country Kurt: Thanks for posting the pictures. They're great. The loon reminds me of the great North. Now I know where they migrate to. Spend the winters in Florida but have yet to see a loon down here. See lots of them in Michigan and Ontario on canoe trips up there. Thanks again...

    Open Invitation to Quetico this fall 2004

    Swampy: Been following the developments on the Quantico trip planned for this fall. Tentatively put me on your list to go on this one. The timing is just right for me. It is after the summer salmon runs on the great lakes, before the bow hunting seasons, and the fall color should be coming...
