    Got a wave of inspiration on Wednesday and built a false floor for the ute.
    Dog has a nice warm place to hang out in on the way home when all wet and stinky without having to slide all over the place.
    Convenient place to store guns where they wont have said wet dog on them and the bonus is it aids in compliance with new regs.
    Fingers crossed this weather stays shitty for one more day.

    Finished scrubbing up the maimai the other day, thought I'd keep it simple on the interior design side of things. Gonna head down after footy tomorrow morning - hopefully there's still a few ducks around Waikare

    Big eels! If it is calm I whack a barbless hook on the decoys and they are soon being towed around the pond for movement.Works are treat and ya can eat the eel after, when the dog brings the decoy in at the end of the evening.

    Nice. They are all over the place up here. Mooching on horse feed.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
