Had to take my weedeater to the shop where they installed a new carburetor last year. The guy there started it for me. Got all my outside chores done. Pollen off the back patio so I can sit out there. While out I went to Aldi's. Face mask and gloves on. Hand sanitizer in my pocket. Amazing how many people are out and about WITH kids and no masks or gloves. Moving around and up right next to you. Sheesh it is like no one is even watching the news. I felt bad even being out but at least I followed the rules.

I had families and kids across the road chatting and playing on little scooters for about an hour today. The guy in the flat below just kicking back coughing and spluttering in the sunshine with the other neighbours arranging flowerbeds in their garden I think. Some apparatus I didn’t recognise (horticulture not my thing)

I spend most of the time just shaking my head and frowning these days

Just protect yourself as best as you can. You definitely don't need to get sick. Some people don't make it easy sometimes.

Tell me about it. Just got back from shopping, and saw the same stuff. I had face mask and gloves on, but I was about the only one. Folks with their kids walking around and getting very close to other people. I was grabbing, moving, and keeping my distance, and getting the heck out as fast as I could. Just boggles my mind. I want to scream at the top of my lungs, WTH is wrong with you people! Even if you don't care about yourself, at least have some respect and courtesy for others, your family, and your friends.

    Be interested in how long your order takes. My 2 incoming Chinese orders (FT and 3F) both shipped early March and no sign of them getting to Aus yet.

    me too - bunker rda went on a plane in China on the 9th of March, and is still on it. But our border got closed a week ago, and I'm sure certain supplies are taking up all the priorities

    Just got an alert on my phone. This is starting to look more and more like an apocalyptic movie. Dramatically less traffic on the road, stores shelves empty, social isolation, etc. My worry meter is up a notch or two.

    All of NZ went on full lockdown on Wednesday night. At the time the decision was made, we only had 100 people with confirmed cases. So it took a lot of balls for our PM (female ;)) to make that call, and I'm glad she did. We now have 368 cases. The whole situation is just :censored:ing scary, especially for all you guys in more populated areas :wub:

    I ordered some DTs from FT that come as a 2 part. Narrow 510, but the bottom is a metal almost like heat diffuser. I got two each with silver or gold bottoms to see if they’ll work on the dot to raise up some shorter DTs

    Got a link? :wub:
