Of course, if it's someone here, there must be teardowns. 8)

Location says it's in Brunswick, Victoria - which is a suburb of Melbourne.  (It's right door next to Moonee Ponds.)

.... which is far enough away for me to be safe.

I saw Brunswick and thought heck yes, but then saw the Victoria part.

Being from Perth I was thinking of Brunswick junction for a split second.

Fuck, I'm in Essendon.

No...wait. Looking closely the gear isn't in Brunswick at all, you need to pick it up from Tullamarine.

Shit.

I best curb my drinking for the next few days.

I have half a mind to ask them how much extra to arrange for them to bring it to Dave's Bunker.

If only to see if I can force him into a 3 hour mailbag video.

It looks like mostly junk to me, but maybe there are a few gems in there. The 42 man life raft is a bargain, if you happen to need a 42 man life raft.

Who does not need one of those, is a better question, with Trump's EPA plans.

I'm sure it would be a pain to deal with, but I'd bet setting it up and floating around a bit would make a great beach party!


As for the mailbag idea, it sounds promising, but would it really qualify as a mailbag if it arrived on a series of pallets?

Or you could fill it with water and have a pool party! :popcorn:

How much higher can the fee be for them to yank a big burlap bag over each?

I see a very nice 350/700 ohm load cell simulator in there.

I'm the one picking it up next weekend. I will probably be sharing and sending some to Dave.
Lucky I got access to some storage space not at home.

Very curious to see what still-working and fun to play with :-)
