Had an online meeting with a representative of Microsoft about using Live Meeting as a method to deliver my Guide Business Seminar. It is an interesting concept but very expensive for a small operator like me. One advantage for me would be that the costs of offering the seminar almost disappear, no meals or rental fee. Of course the big question is will you have greater participation if you offer it online and travel is not an issue. It is interesting to note that each seminar has had at least one person who traveled from another state to attend.
It is blowing a gale right now you know the kind the windows rattle and the wind whistles in the door cracks to complete the effect it is raining hard. The forecast calls for it all to be over by morning. We’ll see what the day brings. I am scheduled to duck hunt for the next three days with Bill Wasson of Maine Sea Ducks. I am looking forward to seeing the way that another guide runs his hunts and to having a little time to talk about the nuts and bolts of his guiding operation.
The week of Thanksgiving usually marks a significant turn in the weather and this year is no different. While we have not had any real cold or big amount of snow yet. The change is obvious to everyone. The ground is white, making it look like the coming season. The national weather service has a great site that shows snow depths across New England http://www.erh.noaa.gov/nerfc/graphics/snowmaps/html/snow_depth.html
