I'm shaking my head at the farmer for neglecting to water the horses but at the same time it's testament to your reliability that he called you to sort it out for him.
The fire side of things - well I've started a veld fire while practice shooting and in the height of summer they will spread stupidly fast. Having a whole team of fire fighters right there, well we were lucky in that regard - you being man alone, I respect your decision to not take the chance.
Be careful with those freaking snakey bastards, hopefully they won't be out and about with the (slightly) cooler weather. Either way, just be vigilant, hope it's a nice evening albeit having to "get something done".
He forgot I think, it happens, but I'm somewhat miffed at him for doing so. I almost drove up there tonight but will go tomorrow. The weather is cool so the horses will be ok for a short time. I'll be there by 17:30 tomorrow.
It would be impossible to control/stop a grass fire in the location I shoot as a single fellow, even several would struggle with no equipment. So, it's irresponsible to shoot there when the risk exists. Tomorrow I'll shoot differently to account for it, or just won't shoot at all if it's not safe. I can imagine you weren't feeling so good when that veld went up. Ranger Andy fucked up huh?
I'll watch out for those snakey bastards, you know it. Mostly they keep to themselves, it'll just be a worry if I fall into a pit full of them, Ragnar Lothbrok style. That might fuck up my day.
I'll be fine. I'll have short on but am taking my gaiters and will watch where I'm going.
Go get it sorted, I'm sure the horses will be very happy to see you.
Well yes, Ranger Andy does that sometimes, although I've helped extinguish far more than I've helped start (starting backburns doesn't count)...why in the actual am I referring to myself in the third person hahahaha
Good luck with the cull.
