For us Yanks, 33 C = 91 F. Summertime down under!
Below zero F here in the mornings the last week....but not to worry....next week our forecast looks amazingly similar to yours...only in Fahrenheit!!!
On your bacteria situation. Coming to America:
"Public health officials are warning that, for the first time, they've detected a particular bacteria in U.S. soil and water that can lead to an infection called melioidosis, which can cause severe pneumonia-like symptoms."
We already have other bacteria in the soil, like Nocardia, that can cause serious issues, so will just be another one.
That duck does look kinda suspicious. LOL

What are they? I'm new to this but like the looks
Various auction places on the internet. BUT now the prices are $800 on up for them. One site has a LGP flinter starting bid is $1150. I have seen several go for $900. crazy!!. For a few dollars more I would buy a hawken Pedersoli. I have 2 Ped's and they are really top quality.
Not being nosey BUT what kind of pistol is that? Where could I get one of those? Kit or not! And the top rifle Thank you

I copied the pattern of WM.Buchele i got from TOTW. it was not a kit. i just used parts i bought from a member here.
i say i copied, but not 100%. i tend to wander off on my own fantasy at times. happens more and more the older i get.
i used a hunk of Oregon grown walnut my late father and i milled in about 1981. i have hauled those planks around ever since.
that pistol stock took me longer to do than most rifle blanks do! i really need to get it out and shoot it more.
the top rifle was a barn find sort of. a friend bought the stock and Douglas barrel 40 years ago and never did anything with it.
gave it to me and i finished it. it is a .32 barrel . the eagle had been carved roughly into the stock and i filled it with pewter, because i could never find that inlay. i used a siler lock on that one.
it is back with my friend now.

very nice. Very practical. I love the rugers, very well made. I finally broke down and bought one. I'm really glad I did. I had Ruger put a new hand (pawl) in it. Just to let you know Ruger still does it. They didn't charge me anything. That says a lot about how they back there product.
Well that is good to know, but I have only had excellent customer service from Ruger
