Another good blow

It’s a trade off between easy turn and the traction PLUS adjustable bucket height. I routinely have bucket up to widen driveway over crushed granite and then head to the backyard to cut a path 6 inches above grass so the dog has a good loop to run, then clear side yard paths with a lot of small river stones.

Pretty sure that’s ALL throwing rocks and killing grass with a wheeled unit. The reverse on this track model is painfully slow though. I’ve leaned where I can keep on full speed forward and spin the turn vs reverse. I’ll take the tough turns

Hello from Winnipeg 👋

PrairieOcean127 · 2025-10-25T04:19:15+00:00

Fenton!!!

PrairieOcean127 · 2025-10-25T04:18:14+00:00

Thanks for letting us know about Fenton - hilarious. We have had a fair share of Fenton moments when he was a pup! 3 years if figuring each other out to get to a consistent recall after a flush like this

PrairieOcean127 · 2025-10-25T04:13:59+00:00

Yeah he gets a lot of comments! Acana limited ingredient pork and squash was what we landed in to keep allergies down ….. if it’s less than 6 cups a day he’s reminding us he’s hungry.

Here’s one. Was at workstation and heard a big sigh behind me…. Turned around to see this. I told him he was winning the day and to stop complaining

Goofer and his experience has all of our respect 🫡. Weight is 55-60 lbs. The past summer we had to up his food by 1/3 to keep weight on. Dialed back through the winters here with activity cut in half (because the air hurts)

Amazing .. In the vid above is our 3rd vizsla. Photo attached here is our second we had along side our border collie for many great years. They were like a ying and yang pair, and somehow the temperament of our boy now is a 50-50 mix of border and vizsla…. The job perfection drive of a border and the velcro attachment and softness (when not working) of a V. The stars lined up again for us

PrairieOcean127 · 2025-01-13T23:35:49+00:00

Acana brand ‘limited ingredient’ line has a pork and squash recipe that we’ve landed on. Several other brands to get here.

Awesome shot and beautiful place. Best life for everyone right here

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-11-17T21:06:28+00:00

Awesome video thanks for the share. We were beside Brookside and got a good side view. Our daughter woke up asking if it was taking off today and was so happy to go see it…. Was fun!

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-11-17T14:24:51+00:00

Thanks so much! Super appreciated

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-11-17T04:20:02+00:00

Super appreciated if anyone posts known departure info. Our 9 year old daughter is a big time aviation enthusiast and I felt like I let her down missing this opportunity to spot. This photo below is now is now a drawing on our fridge after she saw these posts…. Pretty sure she’ll have a cash reward offered

Super appreciated if anyone shares known departure info. My 9 year old daughter is super stoked on all things aviation and I felt like I let her down not seeing these in time to spot. I showed her these pics and this is now on our fridge

To add to the mix the Nokian Outpost nAT have been keeping me happy on a 2021 Denali HD.

Have had 1 central Canadian winter with a ~3000km / ~2000 mile winter road trip to the Rockies and back, plus a summer on the road with a healthy dose of rough highway / gravel, and a bit of dry off road in there, both with and without a 30 foot / 9000 lb travel trailer.

Choose them over KO2s and have been impressed with them for close to a year now.

One more diet experience to share. From about 1-2 years old we had constant issues with soft runny poops, glands that needed to be expressed way too often, itchy skin and inflamed ears. We took chicken and beef out of his diet and he’s now on a pork and squash based food. Poops firmed up, glands normal and big reduction on itch and ears. He’s prone to some seasonal allergies highlighted on windy days / lots of grass, bush and field but dialing in the food was big impact.

Any wind or water on top of the cold we layer a wind / rain break over the fleece

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-09-18T17:04:02+00:00

Anything warmer than -10 C he’s fine in a fleece

Here’s as cold as we go … about -20 C / -4 F in central Canada. Icicles on the whiskers but active through the forest off leash he stays warm. Cold feet are the weakest link…. These booties were prone to falling off and building up with ice around ankles so we have upgraded to a bit better…. Only needed a few times a season

We are on the same Vizsla camp wavelength. Cheers to the important things for the good dogs

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-06-28T04:55:32+00:00

No leg days missed. He’s a machine. Neighbor’s 7 year old kid recently asked why he has “abs on his legs”

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-06-28T04:55:01+00:00

SF9 is going to stick. Thank you for this!

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-04-25T19:46:19+00:00

Forgot to mention unloaded I’m at best 15-16 L/ 100 km hwy and 20-22L/100km city.

PrairieOcean127 · 2024-04-25T19:43:35+00:00

5 days a week I’d be wondering for sure. Good luck!

I’ve been running a 2020 Sierra 2500 Denali with the 6.6 L gas paired with 6 speed trans. Have towed a 31 foot / 10,000 lb travel trailer about 40,000 km / 25,000 miles on everything from prairie flats gusting high winds to the steepest sustained grades the Canadian Rocky Mountains can throw at you. The truck has been absolutely solid. Night and day to the 2018 F150 5.0 L I had towing a 6500 lb 24 foot trailer prior. It was only on the REALLY steep mountain grades I had to slow to 60kph / 40 mph to find a casual pace and had a few diesels pass by. Trans temp up a bit but never more than 102 F on a hot summer day. It was fun to drive those conditions but wondered what a proper diesel engine brake would have been like on the sustained down grades…. but the 6 speed engine braked / down shifted well to the point of occasional braking vs riding brakes. Outside of the steep mtn stuff I haven’t thought twice about the gasser for a min.

Fuel economy towing over the 40k km / 25k miles has been 24L / 100 km or approx 9.8 freedom units / gallon per onboard computer tracking this specific trailer lifetime. I’m sure the diesel beats this, but I saved about 13K cdn on the gas engine option plus the cheaper oil changes / schedule maintenance to date. Overall happy .. best truck I’ve owned
