What Did You Get Up To Today?

Yeah, just seems pretty low for a Gen8 :thinking:
Just air seals and an o-ring change on a stock Gen8 would be in the 270-280 range.

With an aftermarket piston, cylinder head/nozzle, 1.18 AUSGEL spring, ChiHai Red motor and 7.5 alloy barrelā€¦ā€¦. 350+ was always a good average result.

Maybe you have a lazy Chrono :flushed::joy::+1:

Still running around a week and 3 days after leaving the workshop, to pick up 2 Hot Rods from the Panel/Painters, and chasing up almost a hundred hard to get parts from several different suppliers hundreds of kilometres apart in the old EK Wagon :hot_face:

Stopped for 5 minutes to have a frothy pint before continuing onto the next job :sunglasses:

HOPEFULLY will be able to actually get back to work in the next couple of days, unless I get more phone calls to run around and pick up something else :roll_eyes:

The poor old Wagon is on its 6th tank of fuel and fully loaded with parts :flushed:

A job a work mate and I did yesterday. A puncture repair on a dump truck. First time for me doing earth moving gear, I am normally the truck guy.

Yep I know but around Bundy they donā€™t get much bigger. One fella who helps us out from time to time worked the mines for 13 years and did those big ones.
Thanks unfortunately itā€™s another industry in desperate need of workers but no one willing to do it.

Cold nights need warm delights ^.^

The finally assembled blaster works amazingly, getting accuracy out of it i didnā€™t think possible with gels.

Awesome to hear that you had a personal encounter with @Hamish & @Exeterat :sunglasses:

Hopefully they are doing well and would be awesome if they had time to come and rejoin us back here :thinking::white_check_mark:
