very nice, I like it just the way it is .
However, It could use a cold water swim, with a back cast snap dry - that will fix it!!

Thanks Dana. She’s already cleaned up. My Jackdaw skin is like a powder puff though. On our next nice day I’ll take it outside and beat the poor bird. Mercy though as we are expecting 4 in of snow Friday.
