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 barrel……. 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.

But seriously, good job mate :+1:

Yep I know but around Bundy they don’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 it’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 didn’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:
