*Big man hug*

Now who's gonna encourage me to go out on Friday nights and spend more and more money on my Skyline? ;)

I pic up my 33 in the next few weeks so i can, lets do a group buy on traction paint and quad overhard sunvisors.

Shawn will miss out and feel inferior.

Good luck.

Rules I remember

Don't lean on the walls

Don't volunteer for anything

Don't take all that stuff they tell you to take, just some trousers, shoes and shirt. You WILL be issued with anything you need. You will need to CARRY your luggage everywhere with you, don't take bags with wheels you will carry them anyway.

Don't get caught with the girls

Do go to Sunday Church, gets you out of cleaning and the only place for getting wine.

Don't say you were part of any cadets etc

Gezz there's a million more, you'll find out soon.

Good luck! Hopefully you get to learn how to do cool stuff like run for hours with a big heavy pack, crawl through mud and get up at 5 in the morning.

Sounds like fun to me. Anyways, hope all goes well and hopefully we will see you around christmas!?

As for everybody else, do we really need encouragement to spend money on our cars? What else are you going to spend it on? Food? Rent? Maybe we need to set up a support group for those who are losing their way. Hahaha.

Yeah wish you well Shawn, give us the heads up when you're returning and I'll try to organise a lunch or dinner cruise somewhere so we can all catch up.

Don't get caught with the girls

I guess its best to get caught with the girls than anything else :( but if you do get caught... we want pics :)

Yes you will get 2 weeks off at christmas cos the instructors have lives too (i personally reckons its weak as piss) and you will get heaps of leave in the army plus there is plenty of clerk postings in Canberra, so we will se you often im sure.

Goodluck and my advice is dont take shit from the arms corps, just laugh at the fact you will get payed more for a lot less work (well it always pissed me off anyways).

hahahahaha have with kapooka that place sucks balls... been in for 5 yrs now

Second that. What u do in there dude?

    • I see what you mean on that last paragraph and makes sense. I am leaning towards because I made the repair/filler area large that I didn't use a long enough block. Will minimise the area and let you's know how I go. This is random but I noticed when I put epoxy primer it felt flat but that's just temporary.
    • Tried to repair with filler only. The block is a foam block but quite hard and I put a velcro on it for sandpaper, the hook and loop system. It's not one of those super soft ones that just follow the panel. Similar to a dura block.
    • You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...
    • Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?
    • I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
