Oh well, it was exciting while it lasted.
Amidst all the uncertainty and disappointment, I managed to recover from depression long enough to make another two brackets for the gun shield. At least I know it's original, albeit my original fake!
Next will be the brackets x2 for the telescope case.
Speaking of depression, Bryce returns to Bandiana next Sunday, and we are planning to cancel his shuttle pickup from Sunshine Coast so we can take him to Brisbane airport ourselves. That way we steal another couple of hours with him. While here, he successfully obtained his motorbike licence. Whoopdy do, and blast. I an NOT keen on him riding a bike. Seen too many of the 'after' scenarios from collisions, but he's an adult now and has to lead his life his own way........I guess. I can't talk. I had 2 bikes myself. 1x BSA bantam, and 1x Honda NSR-R. One wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, and the other wretched thing, a 2-stroke, tried to kill me every time I rode it. Evil thing it was.
