Our latest project…

Posted on October 1, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

We have been working on yet another project since mid summer. Those of you who have been here or driven past may be wondering just what is going on the the field. Well it is another pond. We are in the final landscaping stages and it is getting close to full of water. The ducks have already found it and we need to get ourselves a duck crossing sign for the driveway now.  They regularly make the trip across for a barley snack and a swim. We are hoping to have some trout in the pond next year to have some catch and release fishing. We are also tossing around some other ideas for the land surrounding the area such as a u-pick strawberry patch, garden plots and/or a saskatoon orchard. I will keep you posted as to what we decide.

I am not sure if my picture will do the pond justice, but this is what we saw on the way from the school bus this morning. It was frosty outside and the steam was rising off the water.

UFC fight night

Posted on September 20, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Fight night is almost here.  I don’t know much about it personally, but it seems to be a big thing for those that are into it. (check out www.ufc.com for more info) It is only on pay per view. We are bringing in an 8 ft screen to show it on. The night is open for anyone to come to. We are charging a $10 admission and that includes a burger and fries.

Definately switching gears

Posted on September 18, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

This wacky weather is enough to make ya crazy. The weekend was hot and now we are back to the clouds and cold. We need some more sunshine. Camping has most definately slowed to a crawl. We did have a camping group here this past weekend, so that helped to fill a few sites. This weekend I have had a couple reservations and a couple phone calls, but as usual we will wait and see what the weather brings.

We are starting to switch gears to fall mode this week. From Sept 22 to approx Nov 1 we will have in the neighborhood of 90 American hunters pass through our doors. They are coming up to hunt Waterfowl. It makes for an interesting month getting to meet the different guys. Our rec building becomes a hunting lodge of sorts. They have all their meals and tell their after hunt stories in there. This will be our third season for the Americans. The first year we were just completing construction and only had about 10-15 guys. Last year was a full crew of almost 100. We have even had two film crews stay with us. A group from RNT was here in 2005 and Waterfowler TV was here in 2006. The waterfowler guys last year were a blast. They were quite the characters. RNT was filming for a video while they were here. The guys and dogs from Cupped Wings Outfitters were on the cover of their video. The waterfowler guys were filming for a TV show. It is supposed to air this week I believe. Their show is only on the Outdoor Channel in the States however.  I’m not sure if we will even see the footage. They said that they would send us a copy, but we will see.

This is the guys from Waterfowler with the guys from Cupped wings and Dennis.

Change of blog location.

Posted on September 16, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

I have decided to move my blog over to this site. After working with myspace for a little while I realized that it would probably be more effective to use a site that is blogs only. That is all I was using myspace for anyway. Also with wordpress you don’t have to be registered to leave comments. When I started on myspace I didn’t know that you had to be registered to leave comments or feedback. Hopefully everyone was able to find me again without too much trouble.
