Yeah real lucky Bunyip..felt that familiar tingle where all your hair stands on end moments before the lightning ball raced across the living room..as i said ive only seen it once before but still knew straight away what it was...

Anyway the good news is that a telstra guy arrived out today and as we are the only ones still on landline along here finally offered to hook up starlink for free and on a like for like cost plan...

Do any of you guys have starlink through telsta or from Elon..?..is one way better then the other...?

and yeah humidity is crazy...a hard slog doing hours of physical work in this...we started at 6 this morning and knocked off by 11 and go back at 4 to finish off...I needed a pretty decent nana nap today..

mornings have been good looking on the sea but with the storms around and the wind picking up before lunch we havent bothered...hard to get motivated in the heat...

Too hot for most to get to the range on Saturday so i got greedy and set up 3 bays for drills, steel, and to sight in the red dot on the 9mm ..put a couple hundred rounds through the 9mm and a few hundred more of .22 and also did really well on the 50 and 75 meter blue turkey targets....Now I know the gun shoots well I'll push them out to 100 metres next weekend..

Ive attached these pics sideways in case anyone is likely to be triggered by guns or attractive women ...

I saw the young lady standing back from the cubicles while her boyfriend , his brother and their father were shooting up the place and asked her why she wasnt shooting..She said she was scared of guns and had never shot one before..said she was afraid of the recoil and noise...so i showed her my .22 and explained there was no recoil or much noise and even managed to get her to take a few shots at the yellow ducks ......she was shaking a bit but absolutely loved it so i loaded another mag up for her fixed up her stance and grip a bit and she got so confident she had a few shots of the fathers glock 9mm and also a .22 rifle...maybe I've created a monster..i dont know but the smile on her face as she left with the lads was just priceless...

i reckon a lot of people that have a perception about guns in their minds might find they wuld actually enjoy some target practise if they were open to trying new things..
