we are in the middle of buying another property which is a bad time of the year to do so. because most firms close down. during xmas and new year my crew are heading off over to the east coast for abit of trout fishing, and maybe the odd hunt. hope the weather is going to be ok. the storms comming from the north may be a pain in the bum tho. grrrrr.
SK, my plans with my family will be weather dependent as well. If the weather is fine then it will involve parking the family at a DoC camp ground in close proximity to a favorite hunt area.
With a bit of luck my partner will have our first child so cant plan anything!!
good luck with all your plans for xmas everyone im stuck at home on the farm till after new years , staff are off so the boss has to fill in :ORLY:
best off luck samba with your future blessing..best you plan something on due date .. to insure that it arrives when youre busy :D
Hubby and I are both working more than ever including Christmas day. We are having an 'orphans Christmas' drinks at my place in the evening though for people like us who are working away from family.
We'll be heading up to Blenheim/Wairau valley to stay with the sister-in-laws family. We (me and the gadgettes) will have a go at the rabbits that are getting out of hand, and maybe get a chance at a deer or pig. Probably head through to Nelson for a day off the farm. Hope they have some broken gear I can fix too, so I can crank up my old welder that lives there now. Just for sentimental reasons.
your gunna get the best xmas prezzie samba.!!
Its fun and relaxing, and that good sense of accomplishment you get when you take off your mask to see a perfect weld.Quote:

That would be cool Dean, we could get in a day hunt. I can't remeber whether I showed you the Mangamate Falls camp at Minginui but it is easy enough to find.Quote:

Nothing planned - packing in anticipation of move back to AKL. I really dislike being in employment limbo! Hopefully meet up with SpudAttack at some point and shoot some clays, AK etc.
I'm going to do what a lazy cripple does, nothing :D
North at the beach.
Xmas day is a wedding :oh noes:
Then free from all immediate rellies and inlaws for a few days :thumbs:
Let's also spare a thought for the men and women of our armed forces who are far away from their loved ones. ;)
No plans yet, first xmas in ChCh and don't know many people so probably head out hunting or fly fishing.
Might try for a Fallow as I haven't shot many.
waikaremoana is a great pace, head shot my first ever deer there with an open sighted BSA 308 while it was running up thru the fern at about forty meters. i was standing on the lake walking track 10 mins from along from the hut.:P
Eat and then eat some more Toby and get some meat back on your bonesQuote:

My mum told a few minutes ago that the 'end of the world' is on Saturday for us, because then it would be Friday 21st in South America. I've got a friend who's birthday's on Saturday :oh noes:Quote:

Well, today was my final day at the office. Even though my last day is officially the 31st January, I'm still being paid despite not being there (choice). So, I'm sitting at home nursing a cold bottle of 1664 :)
Good on ya De La Rey, what you reckon about the weather this weekend? Worth the risk for the campsite? Should be heading out to Whananaki tomorrow for the next 2 weeks but weather report is looking a bit dodgy!
Good news is my Chrony should be here sometime this weekend so something else for us to play with when we go for a shoot!
Haha, you have to take the good with the bad where camping's concerned. I'd say don't go but that'd be for my own purely selfish, shooting reasons :P Hey speaking of which - what's the best place to buy ammunition from up here? (Best = cheapest).Quote:

I will try strap a camera to the rollcage for ya.... think it will be tricky trying to take photos on the way especialy when the jurney will only last less that 60 seconds!Quote:

Not a lot to choose from up here, I normally go and speak to Brad at H&F and he gives me a good deal, not as cheap as scouting auckland but I can't be bothered to hunt around to save $5, and they look after me there so I try and support them as much as possible.Quote:
