Starting to see little groups around, getting a bit cooler in the evenings (maybe just me). Was in the marsh last weekend, wind blowing...almost time.

This season I am trying to get my act together a bit earlier so I can load up and go when the bell rings. I know I have precious few days to hunt with work, the kids' weekend sports schedule and the endless honeydew list, so don't want to waste time in October doing what I can do now.

So, I have got my outboard rebuilt, bought a new (old) gun for the boy yesterday, and finished glassing an old punt I have been meaning to get done for about 3 years. Still need to touch up a few spots that didn't go as planned, but should be painted next weekend - or the one after that. Camo job to follow. Might even post pics when it is done given I am this organized.

Anyone else getting ready and fired up for ducks? Or am I early for once?
