Coming to America - Attempt V3.0

[Bruce Caulley]

Ahoy!,
So a few of you may remember that in the past I was on the cusp of spending some time in the US.  Looks like the day may finally be on the horizon (Fingers crossed).  It started with a client that turned up one day out of the blue at our 3d printer hire business. He had designed some accessories for a gun and needed a production option ASAP as the local market here for that particular thing is quite hot.  I mentioned that I used to be a machinist/programmer/armourer/gunsmith and had a few designs kicking around, but for all sorts of calimitous personal reasons hadn't been able to follow through, despite some strong interest from big brand names on the US. To cut a long story short, I helped him out in my own time with a couple of designs as a favour in return for him helping with my stuff.  He's over there now with those samples and it's blowing up.  He wanted to get orders for 1k units while there and he got that in the first smallish gun shop he walked into on day one. 

I'm currently unvaxxed so can't drop everything and head over there straight away.  Maybe some sanity will prevail affter the november elections there and I can get entry.  If so, I'll be a regular over there, probably in the Dallas TX area.  It's been almost 20 years on the MC forum in all its versions, hoping to spend a night in the drunk tank with as many of you all as possible.

Very cool
looks like all your hard work is going to pay off

Both.  I won't steal his thunder just yet by saying exactly what.  The upside is that two of my designs will follow as a result.  Bolt action rifle, and a PCC.
Exciting times!

Stay away from incog's dirty women. You might end up with a gift that keeps on giving.

And I believe it is called "A Happy Ending"

Sounds like a great opportunity, Bruce!  

I hope everything falls into place for you to make this happen.

Why not? Aussie regulations?

[CNCAppsJames]

@Bruce Caulley there's currently no vax requirements for travel within the Continental US. Hawaii's got some jacked up requirements if you're not, but you can still go there.

BTW I've got MVP status on two different airlines at the moment that I earned within the last year and no jab for me. EVER.

I can now leave the prison island Oz, but there's still a current air border vax policy for US non residents.  I'll keep an eye out for any changes.
I think I'll like spending some time over there setting things up.  Australians are just British Texans after all

Just fly into Mexico then walk across the border. Biden and Kameltoe will welcome you and even give you a new phone!

With Babble you can learn Spanish in 3 days.

Hasta Luigi!!!

Update:
Might be on a plane next week!  Aiming to stay until mid November on this trip.  Business visa should be sorted by end of year so a rough plan is to be back there in January for another 3-4 months.

Finally!!!!!!!!

Cheers
