After lunch we put away the dust makers and broke out the paint, we were focusing more on techniques than finished decoys this weekend. I really wish this picture had come out better. That's Kristan's BWT, Jacob's half finished hen in the foreground, and my bird in the background that only ever got blocked in. What can I say, it had been a long day and we had to stop SOMEWHERE! My wife cooked us BBQ chicken, potato salad, sweet corn on the cob, garlic bread, and salad with homemade ranch. We took a much needed dip in the pool (beer and antics), ...ate some homemade strawberry pie and called it a night.

Sunday morning, Kristan cut some stock out on the saw while Jacob and I painted. Kristan's bandsaw is in storage so I told him to bring some wood and cut out some blocks while he was at my place. Kristan got the idea to take a picture of where we came from and where we are. We joked a few days earlier about throwing each of our first three birds in my pool and giving an award to "best worst" Left to right, Jacob's birds, Kristan's, mine. Blocked in drakes. Painting details. Finished practice boards. A snack we forgot to eat. And something totally unexpected happened at the end. Kristan insisted in giving each of us a decoy before he got on his way home. I forgot to get a picture of Jacob's but it is just as cool as this one. We couldn't decide which ones we liked best after Kristan left two on my shelf and said "you guys choose."
