Good morning everyone.

We had some of the wild turkeys come almost right up to the door yesterday, cleaning up under the bird feeder where the goldfinches were eating.

Hi. We went for a drive to Charlton here in Victoria.
Temperature 32c.
What follows is why I have little pitty on Australian livestock farmers here in Victoria when they put the hand out during hard times.
Iv met a very few that do care for the animals. Sheep and Cattle. But they are amongst the very few. The majority are hungry for money, clear the land for the maximum cropping and don't care for the animals that they have.
This is a typical example. Ive seen this garage time and time again.
Check it out.
Sheep farm with all decent shade trees removed for maximum cropping time harvest.

Shade? Forget the ones in the distance and zoom in, there's a fence between them.

How are they getting shade from 30s to mid high 40c heat. 40s coming there next week. All hiding under the only shade available, the shearing shed.
Pathetic!

That pisses me off!

Mornin all.
10 F. degrees at daylight.
Around 4 inches of snow through the night.

I declared a stay home day today when my offer to run packages to the post office while the truck was clear yesterday was declined.
Knowing how that's going to go...Guess I better get shoveling out front....

The statement of
"You better get while the getting is good"
Was ignored 🙁 😔 😞
We all can guess what floats in the mental thought process. 🤔 🤣
 

Anyone here like shooting?
Ever fired a "LAW?"
Thrown hand grenades?
Know of claymores?

I'm a Military Police Vet and have always loved weaponry!
I always say, "Get More Ammo!"

Best,

Scott

I haven't fired, though my Brother-in-law took us out as he fired his car truck weapons.
Few clips out if the UZI.
He also had the .50 cal. loaded with anti-tank rounds.

Strange why he had those rounds as I never seen or heard of a tank running the mountain roads.
 

Since I am new to this thread,
I ask, is "Politics" allowed?
If not, I'm cool with that.
I'm still ready to discuss all other topics. Dig?

What do you wish to discuss?

Scott
