What Did You Get Up To Today?

Told ya I was sending some your way! :joy:
We’ve had a little bit here, but only sporadic long light falls and the occasional short downpours, but nothing like QLD and NSW get to swim around in!

Fingers crossed you get some more after our Wheatbelt has finished with it. :grin:

Sure did, can you send another 150mm so I can get near average rainfall for this time of year please. Just putting my order in :rofl:

I was gonna say ā€œno worriesā€, but woke up this morning and the bloody Sun is shining again! :face_with_diagonal_mouth::joy:

Spent a good four hours running copper sheilding tape in two strats today. Big job, but well worth it. :+1:

The Squier Classic Vibe single coils are now ultra quiet, no hum. We’ll have to see how quiet the project strat is when the P90 goes into it. P90s are notoriously noisy and subject to 60 cycle hum, but I’m optimistic. :man_shrugging:

Regardless, I love the look… rear covers stay off which I believe makes a difference to tone and showcases the copper. The tape takes me back to the old NASA photos of the LMs on the Moon’s surface, back in the 60s…

Damn… really showing my age there. :rofl:

Because the lander was held together with so much tin foil and copper tape?

:joy::rofl:

Yesireebob… here’s Armstrong on the Eagle…

Just look at all that copper sheilding tape :wink:

Mate looks like that tapes all that held that piece of shit together :joy:

I know what you’re up to. Getting ready to take your Guitars to Mars :rofl:

Getting ourselves ready for a trip to Hawaii today, clean the house, mow the lawn, tick the boxes, pack the bags.

Going to the Arizona memorial, USS Missouri, aviation museum and USS Bowfin at Pearl Harbor. Will do a trip to the Army Museum. And we’ve booked ourselves some range time to play with MP5’s, AK’s, SCARs and some other fun toys we don’t have here :metal:

Safe travels and have fun!

Expect to see plenty of Polaroids when you get back…maybe even a Slide Show with the neighbours. :rofl:

I’ll post the gun porn in the real steel thread :drooling_face:

NOICE!
Sounds like it’s going to be quite the experience with that Itinerary. :ok_hand:

A night off for the missus and I to hit up Golden Beach for a fish… awesome weather, no wind, nice and cool. :sunglasses:

Beautiful pics mate :+1:

Yes please. We want shells flying and video :grin:

Bejeezus… looking almost as good as a West Australian sunset! :hushed::joy:

No way :rofl:

You have go out to one of the islands to see the sun set over water up here. :laughing:

It’s a top spot though… really quiet, you can hear the surf hitting the ocean side of Bribie, very few people after dark. On a clear night you get to see a little of the milky way too… less light pollution.

No fish though… unless you count three throw-back micro yellowfin bream. :rofl:

Yeah that was always the trippy part to get used to every time I was in either NSW or QLD, was the Sunrise and Sunsets being arse about face!

Doesn’t sound like a big thing, but when you have worked outdoors your whole life and get used to a certain pattern, it really screws with ya head when everything seems to be going the opposite direction. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It does? How can that be, sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why WA time is behind the rest of Australia as last place for sun to set.

When you are used to the Sun coming up over the land, if you are facing North, it’s on your RHS obviously. :grin:

To see it coming up over the ocean, it feels like a late afternoon in WA facing South with the Sun and Ocean on your right, the complete opposite… really disorientating!

Hard to explain, but just messes with ya head when you are used to the Sun only being over the Ocean in the late afternoon, not in the morning!

Mornings seem like afternoons, and afternoons look like mornings!🫨
