    You should have eaten them Toby. If you take the wings off first they are quite nice and a good source of protein.
    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

    They sure are loud this year - they seem a bit late but usually start February.

    Has anyone got a theory that they go louder if they start later in the season? Maybe some kind of compensating?

    Has anyone else seen the huge dragonflies out over the past month or so?Name: DSCF1243 Dragonflies.jpg Views: 711 Size: 572.7 KB

    These suckers were nigh on 150mm long, a week or so ago in Wgtn
