    Thank you all for the birthday wishes, calls etc.

    To John, I've been up and working since 5:30 this morning so we could go test driving even more cars at lunchtime. I am now car blind and fed up with the whole affair.
    This afternoon got worse, the learning curve moving to CNC is almost vertical, but I found some old rope and a set of crampons. I'm getting there!


    I'm done now, got some food and drink in, had my haircut and its now pyjamas and gin o'clock.

    Have a great eveing everyone!

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Thanks Tone, & yes wer all fine here. I'm rather gutted though I've not been able to get my 77 out yet since I bought it!! I've only put 2 pellets through it & that was pointed at the floor just to make sure it wasn't broken .
    I'm desperate to pull it apart have a tinker, get it shooting smooth & shove 1000 pellets through it..... (Preferably in a day!!!) So boring being busy. I may have struck a deal with the missus thought.. and she mentioned about me being able to stay at the next boinger bash for at least 2 days!! Fingers crossed a? I think I'm going to get tinny to take a look at the rifle & "breath" on it with some goodies of his

    Great to hear that you're all keeping well, Rhys.

    And fantastic to hear that you may do a two-day stint at The Hollow.

    I know what you mean re the lack of time matey. I have a few tinkering projects to undertake when I can squeeze them in. Hopefully this Sunday I'll be taking a peep inside the little Supersport I got last week.

    If that 77 is a 25mm, all she'll need is a degrease and relube. Plus seals if required. A tiny bit of polishing to make sure all will run smoothly, spring if required (and ends nice and shiny) and a little bit of Delrin goodness and it'll be beautiful.

    We'll all be there in just 12 weeks now!
