    Only taking stats as have 2weeks off when the 1st ones due in feb, giving the house a spring clean this weekend in preparation.

    Xmas will be getting up early and taking the dog out then low key with family (as I prefer). But have permission for a few days recon of some spots of interest (day trips from Chch) and possibly trying to hook a trout on the way.

    I feel bad saying it but wrapped up on the 19th and not back till the 12th January. Christmas with the little one and her indoors, not too shabby really. 1 year Anniversary on 31st so probably out for a nice dinner. Throughout that time think i will be taking a little walk past spooks place on the way to slay the venison, with any luck :-)
    Mind you in need of some r and r time, been a busy year 2014!

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Finish work on the 24th and return on the 5th if I am not required to head into the other site at tauriko to drive a dump truck, going to try and get some surf casting in and meant to be heading off to mucko's with my son for a bit of gong bashing and possibly a rabbit shoot. Won't be doing any bush bashing while my son is up here, which reminds me I have to send my hunting permit for the tauranga city council catchment back in for countersigning to make it official.

    Just finished work for today back Monday but heading out tomorrow to help the old farmer that lets us shot on his place. He's a wee bit older now and cutting his fire wood and doing he's heavy jobs most weekend brings a smile to your face. And it's best to work over Xmas because no one likes sitting in traffic with every onelse thinking its a holiday

    Maybe we can use them to scatter all those Rewarewa leaves - bloody bush cornflakes. Last time I was up there, I had my boots off and sneaking in for the kill all ninja like, but it was a group of pheasants. Nearly shat my daks when they took off!

    Understand this one.....
    And then when they do get a idea of what xmas is about, its all the commercial crap and costs a fortune....

    On the flipside, i dont understand a lot of their important days, so just try to go with the flow
