Thanks Pointer...I have had a bit of practice.

They seem to be a lively bunch on here and I have enjoyed reading the banter and the more serious bits.

Welcome Scribe I like your style already. I also am almost totally computer illiterate. but I have graduated to one finger and one stick typing. (you have to get a stick sneeze I have doubled my production,the extra toe on my left hand really holds up the typing )

Computer literacy should not be an issue. We only built this place a few months ago, so we hardly know how it works either! If you get stuck, posting photos, editing posts, quoting, sending PMs, anything like that, just ask one of the people who has "caretaker" beside their name and we will explain it, just as soon as we figure out how it works

The rest of these delinquents can probably help too.

Hows it going 'Tussock' Funny that remark about the duck itch. I just got back from the duck possie stinking of the peat bogs. No duck itch at least not yet. We shoot in the flax block on the Hauraki Plains. Great weather for us and good tallies of ducks. Everyone prays 'God send us rain and wind', not us though, we shoot fine in this weather and its a lot more pleasant with the sun shining.

Feeling not that sharp at the moment. May be it has something do do with a few draughts of brandy we took last night to keep the swamp fever at bay. We have a little hut in the swamp we stay in and you just cant take to many precautions in such a place.

Havnt had a chance to look at the postings yet. Anyone mentioned the moon yet???.
I dont remember a prettier moon ever. What a sight it was as it hauled itself up over the horizon and shone the length of the pond. Swans flying across the face of the moon??? Anyone ever seen it????? Where is a camera when you need it.

Havnt worked out how to post photos yet but no hurry yet. It will take me a bit of time to find my way around here yet. So I will ask for help when I need too.

I dont know why the 'remember me' doesnt work for us. This sight thinks I am after its state secrets.

Te Rei....Can you find out for us who it was who died. I dont want to wait for the news to come down through the regular channels to me. Sometimes it can take a while. It wont do any harm to put his name up here.

Hullo back to Bill Roydhouse....Joe Keeley was a rogue but we liked him. I still havn't forgiven him for spreading HLO over the hillside with me on board though he has been dead this many a year.

The object of writing that book was to tell the history of that part of the country within the greater story.

Are you talking about Hihitahi Forest. I trapped that Forest.

Hardie did tell me but I forgot. You can contact him direct thru 06 9746000.I will speak to him tomorrow.We flew in PGTips.Its the block next to it on the right hand side. Hihitahi to be 1080'd[again] shortly.The stag and the 222[you must be a romantic like Philip Holden] The other bloke in your matter was TC. Hardie unfortunately can tell you about the painful aspects of war which we kinda forget. He is a top bloke.

Are you talking about Te Rei bush 'Te Rei'.

Yep I remember TC well enough and he me no doubt.

Philip Holden was using the 243 when he was hunting out of Mangaweka and writing Pack n Rifle. I dont remember him using a 222 he may have used one up in the Kawekas.

I plan on ringing Hardie tomorrow. I have been up the mussel farm doing a bit of fishing.
