    Is anything shipping out of China? I have 3 packages languishing at “delivered to air transport/ exported directly sealed”. My fourth is not vape related, and it caught a flight pronto. It’s all bits and bobs, but it’s frustrating seeing no progress for so long.

    I have two orders from sourcemore on the way.
    One has been in transit for about two weeks and just got to OZ, two new Brunhilde MTL RTAs and a little squonker;)
    And the other shipped out last night, the Mighty Minikin Kodama which is coming via DHL:wub:

    That is strange but I'm not sure it's vape related. I've got a mate who regularly imports guitar hardware and parts from the US to Aus and he's going mad from the delays.
    I went back and looked. The fishing gear came out of Hong Kong, everything else is “vacationing” in Zhengzhou. Must be lovely this time of year, with free drinks and canapés or some such nonsense :lol:. Since we missed out on our vacation ( so not anxious to get the fishing stuff), at least my bits and bobs are getting one. Sure wish they would send a postcard and let me know when they’re coming home!

    What fishing gear did you get?

    Some people still keep them for various reasons, I guess. At a party a while back, and a couple told me they still have theirs. I was like- "What for? You only get junk calls on them anymore." She said they only use it to find their cellphones. :lol:
    I actually have two cell phones for that. LOL

    I drink a 16oz glass of organic spirulina every day. It's a green/blue algae (cyanobacteria). Mmmm, I love it. Dog and Cat both enjoy it!!! Been drinking it for many years. :D

    NASA uses it as a dietary supplement for astronauts. It is very rich in essential nutrients some of which aren't found in the average daily vitamin. Rich in antioxidants too. Bunch of other goodies too.

    It's called the food of the future.

    I am currently trying to find cold pressed wheatgrass juice for a daily fix. Where do you get this spirula SMT?

    They’re here!!! I got them unboxed and set up, took ‘em for a spin. So nice! The big one I wrangled upstairs. So heavy. I had to stop a few times. I think I’ll need to ice my back tonight but it’s worth it.

    The new Stellaire is on the left, the 800 on the right.

    The hoop with fabric in the middle is the size the 800 can do, 5x7. The bigger hoop is the reason I wanted the Stellaire.

    The auto threader is amazing. The machine is a lot like the other, but with more features. It can do a little designing using an IPod. I’ve never had one of those before, so it’s something I’ll have to learn eventually.
    beautiful stuff and I love your wood floors and the matching cabinets the new machines are on!

    I am feeling for the folks in shipping. I emailed support about a missing package - USPS. The postmistress called me back today and apologized for taking so long

    I have 100 missing packages today! Stuff is closed, people are off sick, it’s a mess!

    I let her rant a while. Then I told her, I was sorry to bother her, and I empathize. I’m sure they are buried, 10 times their normal load and half staffed. I thanked her, and told her I appreciate that they’re doing their best in these crazy times.

    She said you have no idea how nice it is to have one person be grateful and not chew your head off!

    Within an hour I had an update on the package. It had either sat for 10 days or hadn’t been scanned right or something, but it’s moving now.

    They are trying.

    That’s the funniest part... they’re a bunch of neck gaiters/balaclavas for everyone for surf fishing on our family trip. I ordered them end of February, early March and they were supposed to be here early April. Then the virus happened. Pushed it back by almost a month because of influx of orders. I guess in the meantime I can use them tripled over as a mask when out and about lol. Himself has already stored the new rods and reels and stuff upstairs, with a heavy sigh. Hopefully we can rebook in the Fall.

    Got this today, so far it sucks for MTL vaping, normal build I do for MTL and is weak vape, even 5 watts more than I normally vape at, good job I got a good discount on it.

    Yeah I have given it the one eye some time ago, but proud to say i'm still staying true to the promise I made myself long ago to never buy a smok product.
