What did you do today?

[bigpete]

Rex Hunt was basically a loud mouthed twat who was into footy and fishing

That explains it, I've never been into fishing or footy

Fishing is good....goes hand in hand with hunting.....
Footy.....I'd rather skin myself with my own fingernails than watch that rubbish

I lost interest in footy when I discovered women, and what they can do.

I have fished, mostly with the blackfellas in the Ord River out back of Argyle Diamond Mine - lots of big catfish in there (and crocs), I also went out quite often in Fremantle with a mate. But fishing has never grabbed me, it's just not my thing. I don't particularly like seafood either so no loss

I spent many hours kicking footballs around parks and beaches with mates, I just had zero interest in the actual game. Squash, tennis, badminton were more my thing, until I injured my hand in 1990 and couldn't hold rackets anymore. Rose's brother is a Sandover Medal winner so I have attended a few games with her, after playing professionally he was coaching so we would go to those games. The same mate I used to go fishing with played footy every week for his local club, it was good for fitness but that was about all I saw in it. I can appreciate the skill and the fitness, just not the game.

Are we talking "foot"ball or rugby/league?

One is a highly talented dislay of skill and manual dexterity, the other is a mobile brawl with all the best biffo removed for political correctness.

No,they're both a bunch of meat heads running fondling balls thinking they're top s**t

I don't follow any of the "ball" sports, being an old martial artist give me some good gladiatorial MMA any day, but I can't help but admire the physical skills involved in soccer.

As to the other, even I can pick up a ball and run until someone knocks me over, so I agree with you there.

I see zero value in any team sports. Play them with your mates if you want to but they certainly should not be billion dollar businesses.

[Oldbloke]

We are way off topic here.

Footy, rugby, boxing. (& a few more I guess)
Concussion, broken bones, busted noses, sprains, strains blah, blah, blah etc. You would have to be nuts.

P.S. I didn't do any of that today.

Don't they stop the game to give them a chance of scoring goals in soccer, even after the game is over?

One of my utes was for sale in a vacant block next to work. A very busy road at 7.30am. Two guys looked at it, popped the bonnet and stole the battery. Unbelievable

Did you leave it unlocked or did they force the bonnet somehow ?

Was going through things I could sell to help pay for this Hikmicro Alpex, was going to put this recurve up for sale alongside my oneida black eagle, but made the mistake of shooting it first......now its all set up for hunting,which it will be doing next week while I have time off .
Details are- Saxon " American " model recurve,62" long, 65#@28" drawn to 29.5", shooting 600gn 300 spine carbin arrows tipped with 150gn ribteks. Huts hard and shoots straight. Pretty much responsible for pulling me out of a pretty fair depressive slump I've been in the last few months. Now I'm getting excited about going out hunting and such ! A week ago I really couldn't have given 2 s**ts about anything really.

I had a workmate back in the late seventies that had an experience that put yours to shame.
We both lived in Queanbeyan and worked in Canberra.
It was only a short drive between the two,,,, but it was one of those roads that you certainly didn't leave a vehicle on overnight.
Old Mate got halfway this particular morning and copped a puncture. But when he got the spare out, found it too had no pressure.
So he hitched a ride with the spare back into town to pump it up at the servo across the road from his house.
That done, he got his wife to drive him back out to his car.
She parked behind his car and sat waiting while he changed the wheel just in case something else went wrong.
He was about to finish when another car pulled up in front, and two fellas got out,,,,,, walked to his car,,, leaned in through the window and popped the bonnet.
As the other guy lifted the bonnet,, my mate said to em "What are you doing mate ?"

The guy replied and said,,, "Fair enough mate,,,, you can have the wheels, we just want the battery."

Cheeky buggers.

Today, instead of just drilling paper, I decided to try something a bit different.

I hung some used 12g shells from foot long bits of string from the windicators on the targets on my back-door range at 50, 75 and 100m and plinked at them with the .22 subs.

Them swinging in the wind took a bit of timing as a better challenge than stationary dots.

I managed 10 from 10 at 50m, 6 from 10 at 75m and the 100m one is still taunting me after 16.
When the wind settles, I'll give the spiteful bugger the good news with the .223
Just because.

Haha.
So today it was a nice day and I decided to take Willy fishing along the beach. Stopped to help a second person out and a cloud of steam from under my bonnet. Damn radiator hose blew. Was just less than 12 months old

Finally started the harvest today down here in western Vic, now that the wet has given us a bit of a reprieve. Two weeks later than last year. Canola first.

Good luck with the crop and prices.
