What's the inner diameter of the hole?

Unfortunately the inner diameter isn’t uniform due the residual potting resin that’s remaining within the ferrule. My smallest point is 24mm so far. I may try to even out the hole by removing more resin, but there’s a chance I’ll catch the outer edge with the file, so I’ve left it for now.

For some reason I find the actual idea of visiting foreign countries way more appealing than the realities involved in getting there. The obstacles that have to be overcome to get to and from the destination of choice is a real pain in the neck and definitely takes the edge off a trip. Maybe it’s a function of age that I find I have an increasingly low tolerance for the hassles involved with getting to and from my destination.

Exactly.

That’s where I’m at these days.

When I was in my twenties I pulled my 401k and flew to Rome for three months with no hotel booked, and nothing but the clothes on my back and one change in a daypack.

Of course everything was fine. Italy is wonderful.

Now I’m 100% domesticated and the idea of being away from home for even a few days is daunting. I love the *idea* of visiting St James street in London, revisiting the leather vendors of Florence, coffee shops in Vienna, Prague, Tbilisi, etc.

Never going to happen at this point. We’re such homebodies, and the world is very different now.

That’s brave and probably liberating going away with so little. I’ve travelled around mainland Europe without booking anywhere in advance to stay.
These days, I’m more attuned to my creature comforts, so it’s better planned and less spontaneous and adults only hotels.
I haven’t spent 3 months in Rome, but given the opportunity I could very easily.
Last trip there we did a lot of the sights captured in Roman Holiday and had a lot of fun probably like all the tourists with Bocca della Vertità.
I haven’t been to Tbilisi and guess I’m unlikely to risk it with all that’s going on in the world.
