I've just been looking for picture and link for you guys to look at, found one the same as we built in school But couldn't find the page again! Was telling the wife about, and how many boats we built in my last year in woodworking school, around 16-duck punts, 16ft.-runabout, 24ft.-cabin cruiser , she just said- slave laborer?

Just wanted to make sure what we were talking about. I never punted a duck. Punted a rooster or two and a few cats but never a duck.

We were just talking about what you guys would probably say, and guess what, you came through, had a good laugh over your reply, the site I was talking about, was an American place that had plans for building a DUCK PUNT! AYE. HA.

I was going to complain about the heat here in Austin, but then I started comparing our forecast to Terlingua's which is where we spent the weekend. I think I am ok with the Austin weather now.

This is what we are contending with this week. Humidity has been running from 35 to 50 percent.

[SWAMPBUCK10PT]

WOW AGAIN!!! YOU GUYS AND YOUR 100+ DEGREES even dry heat, you must have to stay inside. Its 4:30 pm here and its 53 DEGREES WITH SLITE RAIN . I'd melt--out there ---fact is I just turned the furance up some. The garden didn't grow any today----

[hassell]

Raining again, flood watch east of me, 2ft. water in the basement, 60 cucumber plants probably won't make it, if no heat in next 2 days!!!! Wood stove puffing smoke, other than that Life is great.

[youngdon]

My back patio thermometer says 101 today, I turned the A/C on.

Been in Houston most of this week .I will not complain about humidity here in Dallas for a while. If I carried a bar of soap and towel with me I swear I could have lathered up with the soap but not sure I could have ever dried off. IT SUCKED Glad to be back in Big D with 99 degrees. I work outside all day around large piles of metal the radiant heat was 140 degrees where I was working today but still glad I wasnt in Houston.

If I remember right it rained or snowed all but 7 days we were there. couldn't find a place to hunt on . all the farmers fields and woods were under water- larry Wood of Greenville was going to take me out calling but all his places were to wet. mite head to a AZ next winter. P.S. we built a snowman in FEB by Princeton
