Vince, hope you guys Down Under stay dry and the situation remains somewhat calm. Last year or the year before we had 24" of rain in a week. Texas got enough rain to cover the State with 10" of water. Lakes were flooded for months.

Hi Arron! Doing OK here, except for the whole "never have time to shoot" thing. Still waiting to win the lottery so I can retire to spend all my time shooting, reloading and kayaking.

I was able to get out and shoot a silhouette match today, and I walked away with the top score. I am going to have get more practice or I won't hold that title for long...
I just hate having another reason to go shooting.

Congratulations Paul. What match did you shoot mate...Rifle, Rimfire or IHMSA? What did you score?

Yup...Debbie did Queensland and she wasn't satisfied so she decided to go do New Zealand as well.
There is some talk of another low forming out in the Pacific. Weird because we are pretty well clear of cyclone season now.
