The reason Rod's Duck Farm never shows up on internet searches is the same reason Dave Mows Grass never returns a listing. Rod's Duck Farm never says Rod's Duck Farm or even Dave Mows Grass. If somebody else was searching, they might search Rods Duck Farm or Dave Moe's Grass.
A Rod's Duck Farm search actually did show a "hit" on Bullet Holes in the Mailbox but that blog is inop on January 8, 2007.
Now, maybe at least Rod's Duck Farm will show up on Rod's Duck Farm!

Thou Anointest my Head with Oil
Keeping a whirlygig duck from rotting seems water related.
Generally, the idea is keeping the duck dry - like "water off a duck's back."
Research indicates that baby ducks, hatched from an incubator, do not float.
It takes several days for their oil glands to generate enough oil to secrete enough oil to coat the feathers. Then they will float. Baby ducks hatched by the mother duck float because they get coated with oil from rubbing against the mother duck. Maybe wood products should be oil-finished prior to painting or else rubbed against a live duck.
Another possibility is antifungal alternatives. On the assumption that rotten wood is the result of fungus, perhaps the initial wood finishing should be done with an antifungal oil/grease .... something like Athlete's Foot cream? Does "soaking in hydrogen peroxide" stop wood rot?

CD Duck
Check it out. Now that I am "verified" the "insert picture" icon works.
Now I'm thinking about wood finishing.
I deep fried some wood, attempting to fill the wood with oil and maybe do something like steam bending. Deep frying seems to harden the wood and set whatever bend is already there but is not so good for doing the bending.
Others suggest that filling the wood with oil would work better using vacuum.
The problem is that outdoor ducks eventually get a crack in the paint. Moisture enters the crack. Then there becomes something rotten in the duck's crack. My step-dad has that problem with his wooden wagon wheels. There has to be a good wood preservative other than something likethe petrified forest. I figure Stratavarious had various techniques that would preserve wood. Maybe while on a concert tour, some patron deep-fried Strat's fiddle at a vile inn?
Quack, Quack!

2007 A New Year - A New Blog
I'm supposed to be able to insert a picture but so far that isn't working.
Nevertheless, HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!
Dave Renfro stopped by today and, next thing you know, there was a Rod's Duck Farm blog.
When ducks migrate, they fly in a V formation. Some people wonder why there are always more ducks on one leg of the V. The answer is "more ducks".
There are more ducks on one leg. That makes the leg longer.
