We're moving the cows from the middle block down to the bottom block in the morning so I walked the route this arvo with the chainsaw clearing all the foliage overhanging the tracks. Then we got through the bush into the other block and discovered a large tree down on the fence, so we cleared that and restrung the fence wires. Then we took the ute back to get the two 600-litre troughs, set them up and pumped water to them.

A bit on the fly so I didn't bring a sling. I always have some paracord on me though so I fashioned a rudimentary single-point sling for the RPR, topped up my water bottles and went for a wander. About 3000m I think. Saw lots of roos and wallabies, and a neighbour's horse wandered over to say hello.

A hare loped out of the bush heading toward me, and stopped about 4m away trying to work out what I was. I very slowly got my phone out to get some video, looked down to turn the camera on, looked up and he was sneaking off into the bush - hares are more dignified than rabbits

Near the end I stopped to ding some 120mm gongs offhand to see if the exercise had any detrimental effect and it went okay at about 40m and 75m, dropped a few but put most of them where they were supposed to go. Got home buggered but smiling
