Tomorrow's the Day?

The good news started early today. Text messages about flocks and flocks of ducks moving. Phone calls wondering if the Ditch was man'd. Ducks down and in the bag by 15 mins after shootin' time. Pictures sent of one guys' first ever duck shot and taken home. Was very hopeful. But, just like that it was all gone. All the movement was done by 830. From then until 11 nothing flying. Until, that is, the hunters got to the truck. The hunting hound was put away, the waders removed, the guns cased, and one last look to the lake. Oh no...6 Can's floating at about 20 feet locked up over the top of the sit and shoot. If only they had stayed. Thought by now all the 10 to 2 talk would've kept 'em there till at least then but they just had to get home. Must have had a nap planned or something. When you have nothing but chores to do around the house, don't know what could possibly send a guy home with 20 MPH+ Northerly Winds. Wait...I know what it was...it was the fear of yesterdays replay. A 10AM to close with nothing but hunger to show for it. That must have been it.

Tonight's weather for tomorrow has more migratory winds and even a few snow flakes. This season's luck will have it 60 degrees by noon I'm sure. All the talk is that everyone will be full as a tick tomorrow in their respective Ditches, disappointment is surely going to pass us by tomorrow isn't it? Huh? Isn't it? C'mon, help me out here. Repeat after me, "tomorrow's the day, tomorrow's the day, tomorrow's the day." I once heard (on the Disney Channel) that if, just before you close your eyes for the night, you repeat something 10 times, it will come true. So lets all do it. Lets all say it 10 times tonight before we close our eyes. We can do it. Hey, it's not really that crazy, look at the stuff we do year after year just to hunt:

• dishes
• laundry
• clean house
• foot massages
• back rubs

Oh wait, that's probably just me. No one else here has to do anything "special" for that weekend away, that sat AM, that sun AM, or that day of the week when you roll out and 5AM and it's your day to take the kids. Anyway, hope tomorrow's the day. That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits. If it's really goin' tomorrow I'll let you all know, if you're not hunting. I think I've figured out how to text to this blog from my phone. Send us your report.
