Drop Bears are like the infamous American Jackalope. Except longer teeth.

What is the equal to American Bigfoot in Australia?

I hear you guys have some wonderful scenery over in New Zealand. And my wife loves the beach.
Oh, almost forgot, I wouldn't want to miss the place where they filmed the Hobbit movie. I'm a J.R.R. Tolkien fan. I actually got to visit his house in Oxford, England and sit at a desk in the spot where he wrote the Hobbit. There is a really good story about him and C.S. Lewis at Oxford. But we have already hijacked the thread enough at this point.

While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..
That one looks a lot like my sister when we were kids. The horns and the eyes are a definite match.

The Aussie version of Bigfoot is the Yowie.
My grandfather saw a Yowie out the back of Sportsmans creek in northern NSW back in the 1930's. He was falling trees and saw this huge hairy thing looking around a tree at him. He said he threw the Axe at it and it took off like a scalded cat. Swore on his life it was a Yowie.
Hooroo.

Mount Doom (aka Ngauruhoe) is a few hours from me.
It’s part of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing which is on my to do list.

Hate to get off topic on all the supernatural sightings and whatnot but I've found a really good toaster oven for cooking bullets.
I've been using a Black and Decker that I paid $60 for at WalMart. Few weeks ago my wife bought a new air fryer convection type oven at WalMart for around $70. It is a FarberWare Model 201797 Air Fryer Toaster Oven. The model number is only on the bottom of the box. It is a large model with digital controls. The fan on this thing is so strong it will suck a sheet of aluminum foil off the tray on the middle shelf. It cooks food really fast and even and I can only imagine how well it would cook the coating for Hi-Tek. If my B&D ever quits, I'm going to confiscate this one.
Yea we did hijack it there for a while.
Black and Decker makes one of those for about the same price, too. Cuisinart has one too but much more expensive of course.
Where are the heating elements on yours? It looks like they are covered in the picture I was looking at for the B&D.
It looks like the door seals better. That would be a plus.
Anybody out there using one of these? It may be an improvement over what I have been using. And I would like to hear back.

This FarberWare has 6 elements, two on the bottom and 4 across the top spaced evenly. The fan is 6" in diameter and powerful. Not seen that on a toaster oven before.
My B&D has two top and 2 bottom, at the back and front.

Are the elements exposed or covered on the FarberWare air fryer? I can't find a good photo of it to look at. On the B&D air fryer it looks like they are covered.

You're an addict! Coating everything in sight!
That's right - even my TMG-Cat is on Zombie Green diet now:You're an addict! Coating everything in sight!

Funny, I did the exact same thing. Had some extra green mixed up and went looking for anything to coat. Found a bunch of Lee buck I had casted a while back and coated them up!
I can make even buck shot pretty!

I am going to get my computer expert to show me how to use Facebook correctly.

Anybody having trouble with the link to JM Facebook?
I get a message; "The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may be broken or expired, or you may not have permission to view this page." I think that Facbook would at least know why it is not being displayed!
Anyway, Joe, just can't pull it up and have tried several times.

I get an error tooPossibly facebook doing it's usual censoring.....
If that's the case, you may need to alter the wording to not mention anything about bullets or guns. On other shooting related groups on FB i'm on, people call cases shiny brass bits or scrap brass etc. Nothing saying gun or ammunition.
