Lucky chap. The Field arrived Saturday and I'm enjoying second best here, being some virtual shooting.

I've killed a few of those in my time - 8o tonnes of HST doing 90 swats 'em down like flies.

Electro, I imagine you to have been sitting in the cab, feet on the windscreen, Paul Newman-style rollup in the corner of the mouth, with a shotgun sticking out of the window and hosing the birds down with lead to the left and right.

E-T "Swats them down like flies".

Great stuff! Roadkill always goes down a treat. Have fun shooting birds and remember, a bird in the hand should not be the same as having your hand in a bush.

mermaid, I have an old version of that saying which I would happily tell brutes like the Hitch and the Tuscan, but I blush at the thought of saying it to as delicate and innocent a flower as you.

The Hitch said...

Idle , that "delicate flower" threatened to crap on my grave (she used worse language)
Rough shooting is indeed more fun than driven game and better for the heart and lungs.

Electro-Kevin said...

You threatened to look up her chuff first, Hitch - it seemed like a fair retort to me.

thanks EK! hitch started that. I consider all women to be like learning the topography of a ski slope - it all looks beautiful and soft, but those drifts of snow may contain hard rocks.
