GT6MK3 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Day 45 Punting SM’s Corolla home along the Great Ocean Road. One of the few times I’ve enjoyed it for years, the lack of O/S tourists on the wrong side of the road made it fun again. Sadly SM’s headache and nausea turned out not to be caused by my reckless abandon with her tyres, and the positive RAT she turned in on our arrival home means there will be a lot of photos around the house for the next week or two.

GT6MK3 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Day 46 Covid Jail Day 2. In between cooking chicken soup and organizing online work, I managed to score a fluid based stationary trainer for big red. Thank you Facebook marketplace and Uber packages!

Martin Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hope she does only have mild symptoms. Wife was tested yesterday . Positive, no real symptoms. It was only a matter of time, as she works in a kindergarden. So I will stay at home or in the Garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Press-ups….. But is your garage not attached to your house? Do you not have toys in there? The “nude llama”, or even a silver GT6C? Trust you remain symptom-free and J is not too poorly? Best wishes….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 can you test to get early release as a positive case ? current rules for us is that double jabbed don't have to isolate as a close contact it is also anticipated that MP Johnson will announce on monday the early cessation of all covid rules testing isolation the lot ( it ends at the end of march anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Nope. Current rule is 7 days for a positive case, and 7 days for a close contact. Close contact is having spent 4 or more hours indoors with a positive case in the 3 days before they go positive. If I go positive before the 7 days is up, I get another 7 days from the time of the positive test. So I’m diminishing my carefully hoarded stockpile of RATs, testing every night just before midnight so as to minimize the impact if I do wear it. We’re both triple jabbed, and luckily Juliette has had minimal symptoms other than mild cold like stuff. We’re isolating separately within the house, with the house roughly divided in half (think The Brady Bunch and a ribbon down the middle of the house!) with me dropping of food at her door, and living like a monk in the rest of the house. Quite weird, but I really don’t want another 7 days in iso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6MK3 Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Day 50. Final day of Iso. Despite my best efforts, today's escape attempt proved unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Escape velocity not achieved…… must try harder. The legs are evil and must be punished! Those things shred tyres….. have you got lots rubber dust on the floor…… and walls….. and ceiling! The boy has one of those new fangled hub-dyno things connected to the internet. And a cooling fan. Still get sweat puddles….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escadrille Ecosse Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Glad to hear the end of isolation is at hand! Nice to be able to ride the turbo outside though. I am stuck inside my pain cave with the turbo...having come back from Spain to be informed that four of the guys I was away with, including my roommate all tested positive I too am in isolation. Although fully vaxed and testing negitave on lateral flow and PCR. So freedom becons today. I have one of those new-fangled hub dyno things connected to the internet, with my ancient CX bike, and two fans, one on the floor and one on the wall, and a telly. And some motivational pictures on the wall Keep up the good work there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Day 51 New (non-warped) rear disk and pads for Big Red. Sadly the Shimano bleed kit won’t play nicely with the Tektro brakes, so it’s off to the gym and onto a stationary bike till the proper kit arrives.

GT6MK3 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Day 52 Seems Big Red is not the only one that need new tyres. I suspect this will hurt my hip pocket considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
