Corn flour and a cup of gravox will thicken it up nicely

Luckily we sell the 2kg farmer packs of Gravox at work. We also sell water retention polymer granules so I might gobble a handful of those bastards. If that doesn't block me up I'm done for...

Poor buggar. I had that a few months ago. I was crook for weeks and ended up on antibiotics for a chest infection. Tracy just rung me and she's now crook too. Zoe will be sure to follow

This may sound funny but I have actually got a gut bug at the moment that has been going around. I've seriously been on Struggle Street all week. Haven't been able to pull a full day at work yet and it's knocked the hell out of me. Might have to eat a few boxes of Gravy powder to thicken things up at the rate I'm going. I'm hitting the wall mid arvo.

Here on the states a bug is going around that gives people a sore throat for a month. Even the US President went to the hospital with it this week. Norovirus (viral gastroenteritis) is also a huge issue on cruise ships globally now, and the US CDC (Center for Disease Control) says a new strain of norovirus came to the US last year from... Oz! And of course there is Ebola, which the CDC completely forked up here in the states, and it is still on the rampage in west Africa. The CDC also completely ballacksed up this years flu serum and gave last year's again, and it has little protection to this year's flu bugs. Gov't 'experts' for you.

I drink clear broths myself and give my colon (and shitter) a break.

Yeah it was doing the rounds up in Qld a few months ago but luckily I dodged it then, family members though were not so lucky and its not a nice one. Takes a while to recover from it unfortunately. Hope you're up to speed again soon.

So I have been looking for a particular shaft coupling and thought I would try my luck with an Australian supplier... Got the quote today and it was $349 incl GST for the one coupling. This seemed a bit high to me and I did some more internet research, found an online supplier it the US selling them for $62.

Then local businesses wonder why they are loosing sales to online suppliers?? I mean fair is fair but 400%+ mark up on retail prices is getting a bit out of hand.

Looks like I will be importing the parts and buying myself something nice for Christmas with the money I saved lol

The problem may not be the store you got the price from but more than likely the sole Australian distributor having a monopoly and gouging their dealers.
I had an agricultural supplier tell me recently that "it's not illegal for a business to make money" when I questioned their higher than market average price. My reply was that "it's also not illegal for me to buy it cheaper from another supplier either"...

Yes that is true, this was directly from the Australian distributor. Can't image what prices their dealers put on it.

If that's the distributor then they are indeed, arseholes

Lol agreed

Oh and have you spent much time on your new 3120 yet?

Not as much time as I'd have thought mate. Probably only a few hours but in those few hours it was a necessity Benny and Andrew (Weedkilla) had a crack on it with a 20" bar, .404" full chisel, and an 8 tooth rim in some pretty soft wood. Needless to say it cuts it pretty quick
Benny now wants a modern 120cc saw to play with for Christmas.

Small family weed spraying business. $23k insurance bill last year. Sigh.

Gee they don't miss you there what a bunch of robbing bastards

 

[Stihl working hard]

They can do it cheaper because they don't need a crane. They simply lift logs around the place

Bloody cowboys it's all good fun until something goes seriously wrong
