we caught a good variety of fish, saw a pod of dolphins and had a great morning

How did your son even see the fish with that black mask on... :unknown:

Im very envious marksman...very...!!
It looks amazing out there...!

Just remember...adoption is still an option... :lol:
(Now there's a slogan if ive ever heard one...!!!... :lol: )

No good points yet in my day--well i woke up is i guess a start... :thumbsup:
Ive just sent off a job application...
And as much as id prefer to be out on a boat this morning, the car is nearly packed, so hopefully ill get out in the mallee in your direction before dark to get a few shots into a target to check zero, & then be sniping some bunnies in a few hours...

Well done on the gummy...& the other fish...!!...
The thought of a beautiful fresh fillet of something for dinner literally has my mouth watering now...and gee...now my tongue is going nuts imagining a marinara with some fresh dug cockles & that flake...!!!

You better hope i stop at the farm & dont keep driving---cos im a big eater...!!!... :lol:

Sleeping ......I was so exhausted after last night that I did not wake till 11 I had barely enough energy to live and breath. I knew the only remedy was rest so that’s what I did ... another good thing about today is that I set up my air con in the tent. Then bbq marinated chicken skewers and light beer listening to fire by Bruce Springsteen Later I will complete the day by gearing up and going for a hunt

beef wellington for breakfast, oysters for dinner, a day organising the shed, bedroom, shooting bench, cleaned ALL the guns and obliterated the last half of a litre of Jack Daniels.. so , basically just got my sh*t squared away and ready for a road trip to Coles Bay tommorow for a beach and beers days.

all in all, 2020's been good to me so far *smiles*

Final preparations to go to Belmont tomorrow to try out both the recalcitrant Mossberg and Black Beauty. Have done an Awful lot of work on the Mossy and this might be its last chance. Here's hoping.

Easy, Spent the morning boating around the island with Wifey, no other rely's as they all had other plans just us, we don't get to do that often between our 2 wog families haha, love em all but sometimes I just wanna be left alone. Quite possibly our last chance being just us as it's a busy start to this year and bub comes in April.

The days right now are short and temps are warmer than usual just above freezing so yesterday was working on 300 Blackout loads with CFE BLK powder and doing some 124g 9mm on the progressive press. Next two months I'll be focusing on reloading during the coldest months of winter.
