Yes and no. With hindsight and a bit more planning, semi retirement should have kicked in around 55 years old. I will receive the Pension next year, and the body is proving to be just a tad too...

Its tipping down again at base camp…..so much for the El Nino ‘hotter and dryer than normal’ propaganda thrown at us in October. So I thought I’d write up our hunting trip to date: The Nissan...

I've got the older model in 223. 16in barrel. Goto goat rifle, headshots to 200m. Loves 62gn Hdy basic cheap pills. As above, a bit of time working the bolt in front of the TV smooths it out great. I...
