A little fine tuning for Dash - we're ready.

Six I muttered as woke up this morning. Just as well wife was already out of bed or it may have resulted in her elbow or knees repelling perspective boarders lol.

That's normal, whereas today...

West, sou west for us. Gusting to 35km/h on Saturday.

That's better!

Huntly will be fine and clear with ducks at 10000ft or so foggy you can’t find the maimai out in the lake..

F f f f f f five ....decoys all sorted,battery for splasher,flasher on charge,spionzilla and others take AAs so they sorted( oh so much easier idea). Great sleep last night.last night shift tonight,hopefully fog stays away.

Forecast has some wind in it. Hurray.

Flocked two doz. decoys over summer, so I am keen to see how they go. Was a lot of fun making the electrostatic flocker. Kept this retired bloke busy, and was fun watching the eye rolls from the Mr's. as the lawn sprouted decoys everywhere, and overspray from the paint cans created crop circles on the lawn.

Beautiful job bud, beautiful.

Just had a real spanner thrown in the works. Took doggo for a walk the other day, she was running full tit and fell over herself on wet grass. Got up with a bit of a limp. Gave her a day to see if it settled down. Just been to the vets and it's a likely broken toe. FML. Got a mate with his gsp x gwp for her first opening so we have a doggo so to speak. Fingers and toes crossed the x ray tomorrow brings the clarity I'd like for her sake.
