Coloured $2 Circulating Coin (CLOSED)

[Fulvio]

Very nice Fulvio. All looking very professional.

Ta mate. Its coming along slowly...

Now using FileMaker Pro rather than Excel for the labels. Coins get packed tight in acetoned bank bags, weighed, FMP prints weight, count and value on the tag, along with QR and a pic if its an error. Bag gets sealed, top half gets recycled for loose coins. Meanwhile five rolls go into heavy LDPE Armaguard bags and sealed into a brick, which gets stashed into a second Armaguard bag. Total cost one sheet of paper and a little acetone for two bricks.

The webspace is split into denominations. Individual types get their own folders, as do error types, and individual coins for the rarer errors. Not hard, just a little tedious, but eventually should be self-cataloguing so it will save work in the long run.

Lots of good recycling going on there. Those Armaguard heavy duty bags are good eh, tough stuff. My use for them is bulk storage at the moment, so much sorting out to do ........ as my moto says ....... one day I'll get there!!!

Been upside down under the magna all morning pulling out the whole cast crossmember and replacing (which means exhaust, engine mounts and steering rack etc too). Worst part so far was the ball joints on the control arms, but got them.

Those Armaguard heavy duty bags are good eh

Absolutely brilliant. I carefully slit just below the handle, long enough to get a hand in. Then they serve as coin carry bags until they go in the recycle pile for eventual sealing. I get lots and lots of use out of them, believe me.

Been upside down under the magna all morning

Hmmmmm... wanna come to Melb and pull the ring gear out of my Vanette? Its been lying in state for 4 years now, and I'm a bit sick of paying the rent for it to be a roach motel.

Know the feeling all too well. (My poor WBs ...... 7 years waiting waiting waiting :cray:)

The spare parts magna has only been sitting on it's blocks for 18 months and there was a lovely big mumma redback up between the crossmember and chassis. Just lovely looking straight up at it with a 2 inch clearance.

So glad I haven't got a mechanical bone in my body. And if I did, and found myself in that situation, I'd break it trying to get away.

Hmm... wonder if you can wrap cars in Armaguard bags and pump them full of poison gas? :diablo:

[robbiegal]

hit the car with the Bagon a day or more earlier next time Unicorn

those little buggars can make you quite sick and of course the orange stripped ones are the more venomous ones as they are the mean mamas

I'll take that suggestion on board Robbiegal, I can't stand the sneaky little blighters. She had a lovely stripe and 2 egg balls, round part of her body was a bit bigger than 5c size, so a pretty decent size.

I used to pistol shoot when I lived in Goulburn and one of the guys in the club had been working under his jeep in leaf litter. He got bitten by about 5 or 6 of them and got pretty darn crook. Oddly enough your Goulburn RSL post mention reminded me of the indoor air-pistol range we had there. The RSL was my watering hole for a lot of years.

I had a great mentor and coach in my shooting career- my Dad.!! Another spooky connection Unicorn.!!

:shok:  Holy guacamole, that's huge for a redback.  The biggest I've seen in Qld had a body about 8mm long.

too cool
maybe they were the American redbacks seeing that they make everything bigger
Goulburn is darn cold and always feels almost desolate when i've ben there
but the country town feel is unbeatable

Goulburn is darn cold

too right Robbiegal and the wind that comes around now through September makes it colder still. Born and bred in Crookwell which is higher and colder still, worked and lived in Goulburn for 16 years.

Robster, Dr Evil will have to get you. Fair dinkum. My ex-partner's dad was Captain of the Goulburn Pistol Club. His dad was gunsmith at the Goulburn Gun Shop. Only ever shot 1 perfect 50/50 in a match we had against the ACT Club at Canberra. Have 3 trophies somewhere in the shed. (nooooo not the shed).

I used to shoot trap with the Goulburn Gun Club and remember shooting next to this little chubby kid (all of about with a shortened stock Beretta who used factory Black Ranger cartridges (which kick like a mule). Guess what, (sounding like Shane now), he was Michael Diamond.

[Robster]

People like us made people like them look "good".! lol

Hi Unicorn,

Only ever shot 1 perfect 50/50 in a match...

Just curious which pistol discipline / match scores out of 50?

He has a stunning career of 2 Olympic Gold medals, 4 World Championship Titles , 2 Commonwealth Gold medals , 2 Commonwealth Team Gold medals and won Gold at many World Cup Titles in a career that has already spanned over 30 years .

When I did swimming training as a young teen my aim was to be as good as Shane Gould but I wasn't built like a brick - 'you know what'
anyways, we had local interclub comps, and at the swim club up the road there was this little kid - probably about the same age and boy she was like a fish in the water
went on to be quite a successful swimmer

Went for a quick look around for one for you Nevol ..... this one was about 3/4 the size of the one from the other day.



Sulla, it was during a standard pistol match (.22 cal) 5 shots per turning target @ 25m. Each target scored separately. My only perfect target. Got a round of applause when that target was scored. Was using a Margolin semi-auto.

My favourite match was Service Pistol, which they added later to with Action matches. Very fast with several reloads lots of baracade, stance and distance changes etc during the time limit. Using a Ruger Security Six .357 magnum and speedloaders.
