Good work Dougie. Hold your head up you have done the right thing. Standing back and not doing so normally hurts everyone a lot more in the long run.

Well we might have had an awesome sunshine day in Welly today, but don't hold your breath for the weekend....
Looks like gales on Sat and even some Rimutaka snow on Sun !!!
So back to normal programming :P
Its been mint here last few days while iv been stuck in a tin shed working,wind coming up now rain tomorrow evening heavy falls on sat the only day I get to do stuff.
VC I am surprised the police didn't remove the fire arms for the safety of all concerned.
Then again they may be satisfied with the security of them.
Maybe pass the buck on this one before you become the meat in the sammy and remove them from the property with the aid of the police.
This situation you are in will cause alot of us to come up with a plan B.
All the best with this.
oops - sorry VC. Didnt read all the way through. Still getting used to the pages.
Cam I took a wakl up around my new digs today (J'ville) and was looking across the clear skies to Malborough. Looked like a mint day there too!
Rushy, Cam's a handsome bastard, he keeps his mug off here to try not to shame you guys too much. And Cam I am sure the other half wouldn't mind so long as he gets to play his hall pass, not sure if you can get Miranda Kerr to crash on my couch at such short notice though.
LOL
I have no idea who Miranda kerr is but maybe i could find him a good look alike at mermaids or licks ? :-P
Dougie, handsome is a subjective thing. You female types see handsome in scrawny little pricks like Brad Pitt where all we real men see is a scrawny little prick. Without knowing the man I am picking VC to be handsome more in the mould of a mans man whose back bone doesnt touch is chest and whose mug has the rugged look of just enough bar room brawls.Quote:

Dougie if im handsome your man must be a real ugly bugger too!
Brad Pitt is a twat, rugged is where it's at. Don't be so modest Cam! And my other half is a sexy, stealthy, running machine :) nothing wrong with that. Anyway go google Miranda Kerr lol
Dougie tell your man to stop running. You only get so many heartbeats in a lifetime. If you use them up faster by running the end has to come sooner.
Wash your mouth out Rushy! I used to enjoy my running, and could do so all day long. Actually think that might have something to do with why it took so long for someone to nab me. Anyone showed interest and I'd start running.:omg:Quote:

I'll happily fault that logic. If you don't keep it pumping right the system clogs and fails even earlier. I even managed a creditable 4th in the Canterbury cross country under 19 (colts) championship, I let the other guy cross first. Didn't feel right getting into the placings as I wasn't supposed to be in that race being only 12 at the time, but my older brothers mate was a bit late getting us to the venue and I'd missed a few races after mine so joined in anyway.
Still no reason to run. Just open up the arteries with some anaerobic resistance training (lifting weights). Bigger pipes are harder to clog.
I'm all for big pipes... er, what? Who said that!?
Never got into lifting weights, found I was ridiculously strong for my size anyway picking full 44gal drums (220-230kg) off the ground and flicking them on the back of a truck when I only clocked in at 64kg myself. At 12 or 13 I saw a mini with a towbar and just picked the back half up by it. Always preferred to be doing something where you got paid for it, or at least you made the scenery change; the more rapidly the better. I still have a tendency to try and run, but it bites me when I do. A lot of the people that spent time in the gym building muscle seem to have had strength but not the endurance nor portability.
Ok that has got me to thinking GM. I am sure that I must have been 64 Kilos at some stage in my life but just not anytime in the last fifty years.
The scary thing is that I'm pushing the half C in just over a year and I'm still only 3kg above that number. I could sure use some insulation on these old bones.
GM we'll almost fit the same clothes then!! ;)
Probably too late in life for much of a change to your metabolism GM. You will just need to wrap up warmer as the bones get older but from where I sit you are still young.Quote:

So we headed upstream in the bush packs on and within 5 mins was seeing lots of sign but all a few days old or more, about a hour up I picked up fresh prints in the leaf litter. It was raining(and had been for the last 4 months:D) so knew they were real fresh. We followed them up steam picking up the trail here and there till they headed down to the creek(bluff ahead) and knew he had crossed or walked up stream. Goin real slow and quiet 20y into the bush from the creek peering ahead and into the bush on the other side we saw each other simultaneously, the rifle came up and the bolt closed as he took off. I had time to get a good look at him as he had to run back on his side of the creek to clime a 15m bench in the bush to escape,as he tryed to clime he got stuck/bluffed for 5 sec or so and 100odd y away I had a line on a texas heart shot. I waited for him to turn and offer me a lung or neck but it was not to be.
I was certain he hadent smelt us so got wet balls going to follow him up. Once on top of the bench his prints were of a big stag stopping for no one:XD:
That delay ment we didn't quite get to where we were intending to camp so just pitched in the bush just as getting dark in the hail.....yes hail constant.
Feed of back country cheers to the forum and into a damp cold lumpy bed,
Up at four and heading up steam again in the now pissing rain/sleet.
As it got light and as we climbed higher sign petered out..........too high too cold for spring to really have kicked in.
Bailed on it and headed back to camp as we were both borderline hypothermic and soaked to the bone:wtfsmilie:
Couple of hot coffees and some more backcountry for breakfast we packed up and headed back.
Got to my vehicle to find smoke out of the chimney of the diggers hut and a happy chappy who was pleased to see us.
Turned out he had walked a couple of k up to the hut after getting his vehicle stuck in one of the crossings! a quick snatch and he was out with no real harm done other than wet carpet.
Was fucken wet, unbelievably cold and bloody awesome :thumbsup:
Im goin back for that Stag at some stage, huge animal thick velvet two tines and a lump at the top the size of my fist, he is going to be a goody.
Sounds fun, good luck with that stag.
Good work Cam. I'm too soft to venture out in the rain. Mind you, I'm slowly working on it.
