October 21, 2007...

We’re coming down to the end of another one here in Weagamow Lake. This is Day 27 of this trip and I’m due to head back home on the 27th via Muskrat Dam, Sachigo Lake, Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay, Toronto and Sudbury. It’s been a quiet little trip compared to some and it’s a great setting with the house and store semi-hiding among the trees. We’re located right on the shore with a sand beach and a great view of sunsets in the west when the weather is clear. There have been a few flakes of snow in the air during the past week in between the rain showers and it’s forecast again for Monday and Tuesday. I hope it’s enough to make people think of winter because I’ve got 4 snowmobiles sitting outside just waiting for customers to get the urge.

Store problems have been limited to people not showing up on time, or at all. Just par for the course and I’ve had to hire and fire two since I’ve been here. I’ve got another new hire now who started Friday and seems to be working out well. Saturday was a busy day with the child tax cheques hitting hard and she handled customers well while keeping her cash balanced nicely. I may add one more this week to help out with the grocery side as the grocery manager, will be taking a few days off to go hunting. Haven’t seen any geese or eagles around, just a few ravens and a little dog that comes begging around the door when I come home at night. He’s a friendly little beast and I’ve been giving him a few scraps as he lets me know when someone is around at night. No problems with anything like that yet though, just the opposite of my last location where I just about went a full month with only a few hours sleep at night.


So here are a couple photos of the location and there are more posted on my Flickr site. Check them out and let me know what you think.
