How are you processing any excess produce, SA Hunter? Dehydrating or bottling, freezing?

How is that mag even staying in the mag well? And nice chicken wing, lady. Get your elbow shot off real quick. That ‘swat’ orificer with the shotgun needs some training in trigger discipline as well. No wonder I have my work cut out for me when I get coppers needing extra training.

A day trip to the retreat yesterday to take the wood heater for the new cabin. I’ll get those walls finished and hopefully the flue installed by winter.

You can still by old style non-smart phones. I have a $29 dumb phone. No apps, very limited internet access.

Quote: The lack of Tradies can be laid directly at the Govts door, they cut back on apprentices and public service trade jobs many years ago to use external contractors. Ditto for large companies like BHP, and Alcoa.
The shortage is so acute my tradie son recently charged a caravan park a half day job at $500 per each 45 minutes labour replacing the tracks on glass sliding doors. They were so happy with his cheap rates they are throwing heaps more jobs at him.

Building the house is simple. Making the material to build it with not so simple.

I’m putting a roof to extend 500mm out from the windows, just under the gutter, directing rain water beyond the slab. The windows have been properly sealed with sikaflex and angle trim (my glazier is one of Sydney’s leaders in this field, running jobs that cost more than some countries GDP). The front window was packed to level, as the slab slopes downward slightly to direct water away, and a metric shyte tonne of sikaflex underneath it to prevent water ingress. Even the screws fixing the subhead to the slab have been sealed with sika. I even put a moisture barrier under the timber frame.

Those windows cost me $100 each, not including the metal subhead, angle and framing pine. Much cheaper than double glazing.

Started enclosing the open dining area with glass. The kitchen in the cabin was never designed to seat a dozen people, so we use this open area for larger groups, but it gets very cold in winter. This should fix that:

I’m looking to build next year. Base price estimate 6 months ago was $850k. I’m expecting that to go above $1m when I get a firm quote later this year. On the positive side the property assessment I got earlier this week from the local realtor on my current home came in at up to $1.3m. I think she’s dreaming, but you never know in this market.

I’m quite fond of my Marlin 30-30 lever gun. Every time I hold it I just want to yell ‘fill your hand, you son of a biatch’.

Yep, most likely on 5th November 2024, and not due to a seismic event.

As a civi you should refer to them as firearms, not weapons.

My opinion is the government should focus more on safe storage and less on how many guns a person has. Give the cops dedicated resources to actually do safe inspections, and make sure those cops actually understand firearms regulations, because many of them don’t. If a gun owner isn’t prepared to ensure his guns are safely stored, pull his licence. He/she is too stupid to have a gun. I teach my trainees to go above and beyond the legal requirement, as I do. For example, at the range any handgun not in use is in a padlocked pelican case that is secured to a steel pole with a steel cable. Unfortunately a lot of other licence holders don’t do the same. Some even leave their guns outside the office, unattended, whilst they sign into the range.

Another example of the pussification of society. We don’t need a police force. Just deal with shyte yourself instead.
I don’t need the police to respond to any emergency. I’m more than capable of taking care of business myself.

If you kill 1 rabbit and can it for 12 months you still only have 1 rabbit. If you preserve 1 rabbit for the same 12 months by keeping it alive you will have 1425678 rabbits in 12 months. Canning rabbit is a very stupid idea.
