--- Quote from: Zoli on July 21, 2022, 12:31:35 am ---A month or two ago Shoppers Drug Mart priced-to-clear the 12pack Energizer Lithium AA : CAD19.49; last one I've saw two weeks ago; date on the batteries is 08-20; maybe is worth to look around? --- End quote --- I've got a PC Points offer for 20,000 points if I spend $75 at Shoppers today so several large packages of batteries would take me close to that and stocking up on a few other things would close the gap. It's a one day offer that's good for today only but several of the Shoppers stores near me are open until midnight so I have some time to work with to see what I've already got on hand and to shop around and see if there are any other promotions on to find the best deal. I need to survey the handheld equipment and build up a list of requirements. This is going to go on a spreadsheet giving model, serial, battery requirements, last battery changeout date and next battery changeout date. Then I'll do some shopping for what I need and formally start this up as a preventative maintenance program. --- Quote from: cyclin_al on July 21, 2022, 05:12:23 am ---My experience is they will re-list them later on. In fact, this same location of GCSurplus had a huge package of oscilloscopes for sale about two years ago in the midst of pandemic lock-down. It was mentioned in this thread ... about 6 pallets if I recall. I wonder if the same lot has been stored and then broken down into smaller lots. Hmmmm, let me see ... 15 hours of driving one way. EDIT: It was March 2021 when GCSurplus had the huge package of oscilloscopes in New Brunswick, not Nova Scotia. At the time, none of us were allowed to travel there due to lockdown. We were discussing it when the bidding was at $200 and Kosmic was thinking of circumnavigating the travel restrictions by using a canoe :-DD I think that lot eventually sold for $3k+... :( --- End quote --- I remember that canoe discussion. 15 hour one way drive for you would be even longer for me. Plus, my truck's in the garage for some nasty front end work. A wheel bearing started going bad and then a latent defect showed up in the lower control arm when they tried to remove the wheel bearing and the control arm snapped in half. It was a clean break too. Everyone I've shown the pictures to came to the same conclusion that there must've been a defect when it was cast for this to happen. Luckily it took place when it was in the shop being worked on instead of while being driven because it was probably waiting to break the next time I hit a pothole the wrong way, and there's no shortage of bad roads around here including the CAA Worst Road In Ontario which I pass over frequently. By the time the bill comes for the repairs, test equipment, especially anything that involves a long road trip to collect, is going to be out of the question for a while. It'll be interesting to see how many times the scopes go around before they sell though, if they don't go this time. --- Quote from: bd139 on July 21, 2022, 05:50:05 pm ---I think it's more "how buggered is the public transport going to be?" I actually looked at the entrance of Bond Street tube station the other week and said fuck it and walked all the way home :-DD (9.8 miles :-// ) --- End quote --- I was wondering about the heat recently with how the deep level tube lines can be incredibly nasty during the summer. I can't imagine how bad they are now with the heatwave. The one upshot with the Central Line is the 92 stock has solid state propulsion. Bakerloo and Piccadilly have to be even nastier with the 72 and 73 stock's resistive controllers throwing heat off every time a train starts and stops. |

They installed them on the road with the local hospital which means ambulances take 10x as long to traverse it. On top of that it’s so narrow you can’t get two busses past each other now.

Ambulances struggle to get through the traffic and to add insult to injury, there are bus stops along the route and most of those were in layby's, now they are in the road and block the road completely. --- End quote --- It's nice to know that those who design these things carefully think them through and consider the possible worst-case scenarios, isn't it? ::) ::) ::) ::) -Pat --- End quote --- If the Ambulance Service fit nice strong cowcatchers to the front of the ambulances they could just plow themselves a clear lane when they need to. >:D |
