After 7 years of constant standing in place, and even a few of those years involving squeezing and squeaking, the first duck is in serious trouble.

Yes, it seems the rubber has become hard and brittle over time to where the feet have cracked and has rendered him silent.

Frankly, I don’t have any idea as to how to preserve him. Perhaps a bell jar display case. But the damage has already been done.
I would take any comments and ideas on how best to keep him from further deterioration. If you have any ideas or if you want to drop 10 cents in the donation can, feel free. How can you not want to help this face?

I tried to write a post about work, but I couldn’t subject you to my own woes. In fact, I was going to term this post “Breathe!”, as work really gets intense as the quarter ends, but it’s the following gulf of emptiness after the tough work that gnaws at the very fiber of my being.
NOM NOM NOM!
Sorry. Let’s talk about church! Back on the 13th I performed “Rivers of Babylon” for service, the first time I’ve ever played guitar and sung in front of an audience. My next special music performance will be “If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven” on the 10th and I am already practicing for it, so this performance should be a lot better. Please pray for me, as I can use all the help I can get.
