Yrrah return all well here still.

Post by Yrrah »

Just checking in to see if everyone is still on deck during the current crisis.
Turned 83 in Feb. Wendy will be 80 this month. We are very fortunate to have had 56 years married so far and still in love. :D
I have done as much, possibly more, shooting these last years and may share some of it shortly.

The FX Crown .25 shot 452 rabbits picked up in 2018; only 52 in 2019 - who said we cannot make a difference just shooting?
They built up a bit late last year so so far this year the score is 68, but we have not been able to be at the farm for all that much time. This month of course we have been house bound here in Wollongong 580 km south of the farm. At least we have had good rain up at Kentucky.

I know Lewis is fine, he is presently tricking out a new HW98 springer for me.
How about all you other "getting older" folk? Are you too avoiding the health crisis?
Regards to all here who may recall me. .... Harry.

Good on you mate for getting out and shooting.

Not much shooting going on around here, other than some lucky ones. The rest of us have to content ourselves with reloads and/or builds.

G'day Harry,
Good to hear your getting out amongst it still - I was paroled early from a previous marriage, and Erica and I clocked over 10 years last November.

Just gotta get the shackle imprints to die down hahahaha

Thanks UAV Raven, MICK AND DAVID for responses. At least I can feel comfortable that you folk are still on deck. Keep looking after those ladies; they are treasures.

David, the starling death drop 60 yd tree seldom sees them any more. Again, shooting can have a very relevant effect on pest populations. The rosellas have their nesting holes back and their numbers are healthy. Best regards to Lois and yourself from Wendy and me. Harry.

Hi there Harry
Can't comment too much on the marriage stakes as I was an early marrier in the year 1965 but since then like David I've had a couple of payrolls , oops paroles & have been going OK for the last 25 years or so. But when you mention Kentucky , as a reasonably young fellow when working in Tamworth in 58 I played tennis at Kentucky , found it a pretty cool climate at that time but was very much impressed with the local apples coming from the area.
Cheers
Barry

Didn’t realise you were so young Harry. Keep pluggin away!
Took me 20 years to admit I was wrong but almost 12 years of getting it right now. Unfortunately I won’t live long enough to challenge your timespan with your mrs right
