Got any pictures or stories to get me out of the summer doldrums?

If you had ever tried lugging all that cr@p through icy muck and across treacherous floating bog in the dark and driving snow an hour before dawn (and you forgot to include the thermos, an overloaded gun box, and the bag of squashed wet sandwiches - plus, of course, the legally required PFD which you left back at the landing ) you'd know that waterfowling gear is not a blessing, but a curse.
