Plus I've we've made some awesome friends from it. Who would of thought.

There'll have to be a celebration when the 1000 comes up. Well done Jason.
I hope it's restored your faith in your fellow man a little.

G'day Jason, I have been meaning to get over to see you but, I am busier now than I have ever been. Will definitely get to see you soon. Yeah life keeps throwing curved balls at you sometimes and you have to learn to duck.

You like the picture of me in the uniform?? I couldn't remember the army giving out shirts that made you look fat, I'm sure I looked skinny in a uniform back in the 1960's.


See you soon mate!!!

Things aren't to good for us at the moment. Some low life dobbed us into Centrelink. Said Karen was working way more then she was & told them I was running a full knife business. It's a hobby that I make some money from. Mostly enough to buy materials. So I now don't make knives & Karen is no longer working. So things are very very tight here. Karen has signed up to do an AIN course online. Just waiting to hear back when she will get all the stuff sent out.

We are under investigation the even knew what cars we had & the one up the back I'm building. The sheds I put up & the carport. So they've been watching us.

Hey Jim that's a great photo of you & the gun. Would make a great Christmas card.

Looks like we will be moving soon enough. Not sure where to or how yet but mite even be interstate maybe QLD.

We only have the disco now. Karen little car ran out of rego so we didn't worry about putting more rego on it. It be up forsale soon. I maybe even going to trade the disco & camper trailer for just a normal car like a Commodore or a ute of some sort. Not sure yet.

I'll have to sell Harry but I don't think I'll get anything for it so it may just get scraped.

Life sucks balls sometimes I can tell yas.

Anyway that's us. Haven't been doing much at all.

I'll alert Border Security.

Managed to do more work on the Bofor today, got the breech mechs out and the auto loader. Had a bit of a hiccup when we took the loading tray locking bolt out and the loading tray went flying to the rear of the auto loader. Forgot to cock the gun before we did it,oh well, its been a long time since I served on these guns and all ended well.

The chap who is going to do the gas modification had a good look around the gun and asked a lot of questions, so slowly but surely we are getting there.

ps We replaced the auto loader onto the gun minus the loading tray as it is not needed and that gives more room for the gas conversion. The breech mechs stay out too.
