G'day all,
I've just met another member in person.
Before Christmas Opposite Pole seggested a get together in or around Sydney.
As it turns out I was hoping to travel that way and I have regular contact with Bob Nelson .35 Whelen. I said he'll yeah let's make this happen. We made loose plans each having to travel. That all went south with Covid etc and my wife didn't go see grandma either.
I'm in contact with numerous members across Australia and internationally. A few p.m's here and there. A curiousity question, a shared joke or just chat. Some wanting to meet if opportunity presents.
I shared some laughs with late member @brucemoulds who used the same username across several forums if you google him. In every post he wrote as he spoke, honestly in a straightforward manner. I've been assured by those who knew him "That's Bruce" just how he eas
At first we found a common interest in Von Gruff Knives, we talked about Aussie stuff and made fun of the Creedmoor trend.
I'm talking to a few here , hoping to make plans anywhere between New Zealand and Perth, anywhere in between and even America of I can make it. East coast of Australia and South to North I've connected with many.
I actually met Bruce in person and we sat in a Coffee shop comparing Von Gruff Knives. Great conversation, great bloke.
The rest you know or will find in a thread.
Saturday morning I found myself planning a day out at Hahndorf the Old German tourist town near Adelaide where I met Bruce.
Once I confirmed plans to meet kids I messaged a lifelong friend of Bruce who I spoken with last year.
I know he lives in the area and asked if he wanted to catch up, collect on that Coffee I owed Bruce. yep, let me know when your getting close. Cool.
Maybe an hour later I get a message he's there. Well one Market Gardener/Farmer is not hard to spot in a busy place if you live rural.
We chatted for as bit, he had some pictures of a hunt he done with Bruce and absolutely the utmost respect for a family friend he grew up around. Absolute respect for the knowledge Bruce had and shared. Even with his straightforward manner.
Anyway, I appreciate the time many take to have a yarn, chat, a meet or hunting plans.
Y'all talked me into going to Afry, it's not as expensive as you think that said.
I've spent a lot of time here, that's cost me heaps but I reckon it's a good place and great to be in the company of like-minded people. It's even better when you get to meet them.
Some don't say much if they don't have much to add, some are browsers. Some of us will comment on anything but we are in good company.
