Spearguns and Refund

Arnold has two French-made spear guns. He purchased the small one in New Zealand. He prefers it because with only one elastic band it is easy to reload, and it is easy to fire with one hand. The larger one is older, requires two hands, and with three bands will pack a big punch. Yesterday we went to a dive shop and got fresh elastic bands for the big one. Today Arnold came up with an arrow type head that can be used on either spear gun. We are now ready to terrorize the fish population of the tranquil Sea of Cortez.

We have confirmed that the $1028.03 AUD ($972.01 USD) deposited into my Australian account a few days ago was indeed the refund from SABB for the cylinder head that I sent back to them the day before I left Port Townsend. SABB's communicaiton on this may have been bad (i.e. non existent) but their reputation as a supplier of parts for my ancient 2G engine remains excellent.
