Spring Bash 14th and 15th May 2022

[Craig-P]

Mmmm.......a Vulcan, eh? I'd not really given them much thought at all since I sold my Mark II back in the early 80s. But then I've shot a few nicely fettled ones at Bash events in recent times and could so easily fall for one........

Shaun has fettled a few to shoot very nicely indeed - and I've had a few custom stocks for Vulcans through here from Warren that make them handle tremendously.
And this is exactly the reason why it needs to go sharpish before I chuck money at it...

Well, I did manage to squeeze in a little time to add some preload to the Mercury S on Tuesday. Now waiting for another breech seal to arrive. The one I fitted previously always had a slight "nick" in it. I tried to fit a new one on Tuesday but it's a silly tight fit. Once forced in it sort of mushrooms out and the barrel doesn't quite snick fully home. Hoping the replacement (from a different source) solves it.

My eyes made the whole affair more fiddly since eyesight took a downturn late last week. Really blurred vision in my (usually slightly better but still bad) right eye. A trip to the opticians yesterday revealed bleeding at the back of the eye due to a blocked vein. They've referred me to the emergency eye clinic but they couldn't see me yesterday. Some time next week, fingers crossed. They have to inject my eye and this should, hopefully, resolve it. Better get sorted before Bash Time!

Hi Tony

Cheers, chaps. I'll see how we go over the next few days. Driving isn't too bad - I can read number plates at more than the required distance, although my left eye's now doing most of the work. Went to work yesterday and the main problem was reading the PC screen. As much of our work is performed on the PC these days, that was a hindrance and I've fallen behind with lots of stuff. I'll chase that appointment after the weekend. Apparently, sometimes, this condition can resolve itself.

I can fully sympathise, Craigy.

Toilets are arriving on Thursday.

I need a hand with the marquees, my usual helper has gone to college.

I'll help as much as I can with the marquee but with my spinal injury I struggle reaching high and bending down but I'm sure George (who's taller than me) will also help.
