My new martin Logan electrostatic speakers arrived a couple of days ago. Pink Floyd will have never sounded so good in this house. I guess I can include Zeplin, Sabbath, and a heap of blues music as well....
Just had a cracker day at skirmish for my bday and now am covered in 43 red welts that look like there from ring worm.
Awesome day to say the least and used 1600 rounds ( wasn't cheap) and now my legs are like jelly but damn I could do that again tomorrow lol.

Had two wins today.
1. Have been cleaning up the property, getting all the metal together to go into a skip for the scrap metal man. One piece of scrap is the old motor from our bus. I believed the fuel pump from it had been removed & used on the replacement motor, but found it still bolted to the old motor today. Removed it for a spare. The old motor ran well with it, so it should be good.
2. We have had an old Leyland terrier truck sitting rotting away in our paddock, unmoved since 2006. Moss has grown over the windscreen, birds have nested inside the cab. The bodywork has more rust holes than body .......& that’s all the good stuff. I’ve tried several times unsucessfully to interest wreckers in coming to tow it away on a low loader, none were interested. A few weeks ago I found someone interested through an historic commercial vehicle online forum. He reckoned he’d try & get it going. I told him he was wasting his time. Today, after several weekends working on it, getting it’s P76 motor running, & fitting a few parts from his own truck, he drove it out of our property this evening. Brakes were still very iffy, relying on the emergency air brake, for a 25km downhill run to near Yarram. This bloke, Rick, is a true bush mechanic & well suited for his entry in the Shitbox Rally later this year.

Had a huge feed of fresh mussels bought from Portarlington pier. 25 bucks for a 5 kilo box. Haven't had fresh mussels like that, since we use to get our own when we went snorkelling at Beaumaris, decades ago, before it was outlawed.

The Portland lee break water is pretty well picked clean. The fishermen get pretty irate at anyone snorkelling near their lines as well. I've been accused of scaring away their fish. The opposite is true. I have snorkelled near a bunch of kids that were jumping off the tide marker and there was a school of fish swimming in and around them.
