Nick Jones Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Many Happy Returns! Not ideal birthday circumstances, apart from cake exclusivity….. though the indications are that J is close by. You’ll just have to have an official one when you are released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan for getting through this Covid lockdown was to quickly flip the 260 Big banger motor into the Minnow, clean up around the GT6, and get stuck into the wiring to get it running again. The reality has been different. Day 96. Got woken up by the phone at 8:30, thought I’ll have a snooze till 9. Woke up at 2:30 in the afternoon, transferred to the couch, haven’t left it as at 7:30pm. No aches or pains, just incredibly fatigued. Official iso requirement ends at midnight… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerguzzi Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hello Craig Does that mean you will be well at 00.01??? I have been feeling crap the last few days I did a test yesterday but showed negative? But I was creasoting the new solar frames and back of the shed a week ago and I use the proper black stuff not your rubbish water base crap and I wonder if it has burnt my nasal passages and throat as guess who did not wear a mask? Roger Ps I think I will burn the overalls and clothes I was wearing as we could finish up with a creasoted washing machine and I think the Memsahib would demand a new one and I am just a poor old pensioner!

rogerguzzi Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hello All Just done another test and not the slightest sign of a second line! So not Covid more a case of Creasote bug? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Hamish useful infographic from BMJ here:. https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1411/rr It's dependent on the amount of virus in your nose. A repeat after 24 hours can show up when it won't earlier. John Edited April 6, 2022 by JohnD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6MK3 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Day 97 12:01am. No longer a housebound prisoner of the Dept of Health. Wandered out into the street to make sure my cars were still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Good to see Energy levels returned/returning? Roughing it in the bogan van? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Still struggling for energy, sleeping about 14 hours a day. Went into work to remind them I exist (and it’s payday…), then picked up a couple of purchases I’d found while locked in. Sadly the Bogan Van was caught in a hailstorm back at the start of Covid, and got written off by the insurance company. Its replacement is a much smaller 1992 Townace van, which has an overheating issue I’ve been meaning to solve with a Thermo fan for 2 years now, but since it only gets driven about 1 day a month, motivation is low. It’s 1.8l petrol engine wouldn’t pull the lightest of skin off a rice pudding, so I miss the B.V.’s 3.8l V6, but I bought it for less than a grand, and it’s on club plates and insurance, so it cost less that $200 a year to keep. Handy to have for picking up oversized stuff, and rescuing broken down vespas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Oh yeah….. forgot about that bloody hailstorm Boring but a very cheap & useful box on wheels. 14 is an improvement on 18 I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Day 99 Had a grand plan to bounce out of bed and jump on the bike. Didn’t make it past the couch, and didn’t make it there till 2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6MK3 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Day 100 All the couch and bed time has started to kick off some lower back twinges, so I got off my lazy ass and went for a gentle pedal. Left my stopwatch and heart monitor behind so as not to have the competitive streak kick in. Leg muscles were ok, but I ran out of breath 30 minutes in and took the shortcut home. Nice to be out, am going to try to ease back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
