I am not that angry at the birds I can't just stay at the condo and make breakfast for everybody.


Can always cut some vents in it and install cattle panel from the inside. Size up to amount of drag you need to elevate. Not as weatherproof w camo material over panels- but will allow some of the wind to pass thru confused2

We shall see greekangler. If I have to I will cut some vent holes I will do it later. For now I am,just trying to finish for the opener. I need two full work days and a few after work hours to finish. I never dreamed I would be racing the clock still working on this project. I am usually pretty fast with something like this. Not this time. I can see the end so maybe that's the motivation I need. A big problem is I have a bee shift at Work. When I get home there is only 30 minutes of daylight left. I try to get at least 1 or 2 little things done everyday.

All those black dots in the sky...those are ducks








We are hunting out of it opening day but I'll admit we will have to be careful about all of is stepping on one side. Might try and add some outriggers at some point for stabilization.

My prediction is a we will hammer divers and also teal, wigeon, gaddies and pins.

Mallards aren't going any where near that noah's ark. You should invite Wayne out there with his ducktoon, you guys can scare ducks towards each other. grin
