If it keeps those cursed maggot carrying blowflies off the meat then I'll be happier than a duck at Western Springs in duck season

Going to be some new slips

I hope my faithful slip is still standing!!! Got a feeling the stags are going to be going nato this weekend after all this shit, if they still have a voice that is, nothing will hear them at the moment over this constant downpour!!

Congratulations Metservice on another forecast fukup
Pissed down last night and I was up at 4am checking drains. I’ll give you that one
Today was to be worse with thunderstorms. Right now at work I need sunglasses to look out the window with blue sky and white clouds. You fuked that one up
Not too worried about next week. If they say it is going to rain then I know there is a good chance the sun will be shining and the blowies bathing in it

Sounds like you are a pro and we should get our forecasts from you? I don't think it would be as easy as you think to predict weather As a side note, it is not wise to base all weather considerations on one site. More likely to get a good forecast picture by lining a number of them together.

Side note I don't think you will have sunnys on all day

Generally go for Metvuw.
Hard to plan work outside when they get it wrong from 1 day before. Concrete cutters booked for 8am Friday so cross fingers
The usual saying - if the stone outside is wet it is raining. If it is dry then rain is on the way

Whats it like now? Metvuw is 6 hours between charts. Try yr.no for hourly forecast and normally quite good.
Its pretty wet here now. Few houses in trouble from what I saw picking up the gromet from kindy

Road into waikaremoana is blocked.

Jesus from the look of it the deer get a few rest days while the country try's to dry out.
In the mean time I'm out this weekend after Roe and Muntjac

And the big bonus is I just checked my emails and see that I've got Kellys block for next year on Stewart island got to be one of the longest travel times for deer stalking
Can't wait

It's fucking with the program! We have changed areas 3 times now. No choppers this year!

250 to 300 has fallen in Southern Ruahines in 48hrs

Southern raukumara stags going nuts sat and sun. Took a shitter and missed a small 8. Monday weather turned into custard and spent yesterday and today holed up in the bivvy. Had a chopper buzz us this morning and give the hand signal for "you" then "out " then came back and gave a ride out a bit later. As we were leaving he pointed to a massive log jam up the catchment that was damming water up, would cleaned us out. Pilot Steve, I'm sure you saved lives today. I hope fate repays you tenfold brother

Sounds like someone needs a bottle of single malt
