Lockdown again....

yep sucks for us. plus im off to get tested tomorrow as im a close contact of that new case as my boy was in the same class at MIT. so have to stay home for two weeks and get tested again on the 6th

sure will mate

how is everyone doing in the latest round of lockdowns?

unfortunatly this was bound to happen,cant keep it out with travellers still coming and going,but we cant shut down completly to rest world,so its a risk we take as long as we letting people come here from other countrys some with known to have covid,our system so full holes dispite what government would have us believe and with so many here willingly breaking the lock down rules deliberatly,we bound to get a bad out break sooner rather than later,just look at sydney coz of people not keeping the rules,same thing been happening in auckland so we no better you cant legislate stupidity out of people,but nothing changes too much around here in lock downs as dosnt really affect us that much other than some services we use are not there at moment,rural life pretty much continues as normal for most of us,coz we so rarely go to town,but must be hard for those in town specially  those with kids at home from school and stuck at home with nothing to do,was going to town day after they announced lock down to get my hpa bottles refilled so now out of air,hope everyone ok still few days to go yet if nothing gets worse that is we all had our vacs here so guess we lucky on that one,but so many havnt yet,and thats bit of a worry for many i would think.anyway back to the workshop plenty to do there.

dont have hand pump anymore,havnt had one for years since the first one spat the dummy and couldnt be repaired,just never got around to getting another,pretty dumb considering where i live not to have a back up eh!!but like many hobbists i am allways juggling what to spend money on,running a machineshop means there is allways somthing running out that needs replacing,so allways comes down to what i need the most when spending money Will,unfortunatly a hand pump while handy to have hasnt been a priority until now,and evan if had the money i am out of oxygen and actylene,argon etc,so that comes first again,the joys of living on super eh!!lock down not helping either as cant go into town anyway,lol
