On the Pond

The first few hunts from our blind NE of Lincoln have been great. No major push of birds yet but enjoying good friends and good times with a flock here and there to keep our attention. Seeing Green-Wing Teal, and an occasional Norther Shoveler along with an assortment of divers.

Dave and I went out Saturday with a warm heart as the skillet was to be filled with eggs, hashbrowns and sausage. He was even talking nice to me! Imagine how that turned when he learned I left the propane tank behind….ouch! Pop and donuts just don’t cut it! That poor skillet just sat in the corner of the blind all morning, pouting. Even the dogs were mad! My lab sat in his box giving the occasional moan (meaning he is ready for some sausage). He retrieved but he wouldn’t bring the bird to me! How is that for best friends?

Heading out later in the week. I won’t forget the tank!
