You'll have The Curve Lounge to fall back on.

HAHAHA! Yeah, it's still kickin.......At least I see vehicles there.

In the "way back when..." I was recently divorced, I found myself at the Curve Lounge bar BSing with a not-bad-looking barmaid who told me of a gal whose washing machine broke and whose husband responded to her request that he try to repair it with "What do I look like, the Maytag man?" The gal could see he was in a foul temper and let it go at that while their dirty laundry piled up by the utility room door.

Then when she was pulling out of the driveway, her car broke down, and not knowing what else to do, she raised its hood and waited for her husband to get home that evening. But when she asked him if he thought he could fix it, he gruffly replied, "What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?" And rather than anger him further, she left it at that.

The next day there was a knock on the door and a neighbor was there to say he'd noticed her car's hood up and wondered if she might want him to take a look. And he soon had it running fine again. So she invited him inside for a cold drink, where he noticed all the laundry and allowed that he was handy with washing machine's, too, if hers was broken. She admitted it was, and he soon had it running again, too.

That evening her husband came home, saw that her car was back in the garage and the laundry clean and folded and asked if she called repairmen. No, she explained, it turned out their neighbor was a mechanic who also knew about washers and had fixed them both. "What's that going to cost me?" he wanted to know.

"Nothing at all," she said. "He told me I could either bake him a cake of give him a BJ."

"So what kind of a cake did you bake?"

To which she replied, "What do I look like, Betty Crocker?"

After which the barmaid looked me square on and said, "I ain't no Betty Crocker, either." Was the beginning of an interesting 7-and-7 relationship when her boyfriend was offshore that ended pretty badly.

Haaa haaa. Tell the duck sausage one now uncle ricky.

Can't. Don't know the one about duck sausage. Did you hear it at the Curve?

May have to try that someday.

Looks awfully teally to me too, good luck!

Not sure about everyone else but teal season is basically an excuse to go thru the motions and get the "forgot my's" worked out prior to the real deal. I think maybe I've shot one teal during teal season.
I c way more teal during the first week of regular season in late-October.
Usually still have leaves on the trees at that time.

Yea I agree, though the majority I hear say "man I don't usually fool with the teal, too hot, bugs, etc." have never been in the right place when the birds are in. Some others I know look forward to the Sept season more than anything.

Reminded me of the bugs. There's something around here, some kind of tree frog or bug, that fucking makes noise all night and there seems to be infinite numbers of them everywhere. Sleeping in the boat? Not a chance. Too noisy.
I'll hit the lake hard after regular opener. Used to go every single day back in the 90's.
'99 was a hell of a year.

I'm sitting here contemplating your situation and think I'd not be in a very good way right now. If I'd ever decide to stop I'd have to try to put it completely out of my mind and stay busy with other things. (Would take something serious for that) Going public would be a deterrent, for me.


This time of the year, with this cool weather, just stirs this waterfowlers soul. This would be hard to shake.

There is a bright side.
Most of the public hunters these days don't know dooky.
Have had so many conflicts that ended with me saying, "all right I'll move way over there but I'm still going to be shooting YOUR ducks because I know how".

Sounds like paradise. Hope it goes just as it should.
