Just got home after a huge night running around with SES legends , clearing trees and making power liens safe and clear. Absolutely wrecked I am .
But what makes me more tired and angry is throughout the night / curfew period ... the amount of people still casually roaming around , hanging out on the street , P platers chilling out with groups in the car parks, families walking the dogs at 1.30am ( yes you read that right ) ..
Clearly acting like nothing's wrong . Not even a big storm can deter some it seems. Business as usual for some.
It's obvious were never going to shake this virus off our backs. But humanity like this , won't make it any easier .

I recently had a couple of long range fuel tanks fitted, no drama's there apart from a dodgy fuel gauge which we are sorting out. What has made me angry, is that I filled the tank from close to empty after my recent Dirk Hartog Island trip. I fuelled up at the Overlander roadhouse using one of the pumps (Pump 1) where you need to put in your credit card and pre-authorise an amount. All up I filled it with 158.86 litres, with all of this apart from about 1 litre going into the main tank, I hadn't used the subtank at all, but squeezed about 1 litre in there to use up my pre-authorised amount of $200.
Interesting I thought, how could I get around 157 litres into a supposed 145 litre main tank? I thought my tank was bigger than I realised, so reserved judgement until today. I ran the tank right down until the fuel light came on while driving home yesterday. This morning i removed the drain bung and emptied it, measuring the fuel, I put 4 litres back into it and went to my usual servo 2 km's down the road. The most I could squeeze in was 142.59 litres, this means that the tank takes about 146 litres maximum! So it is pretty close to what it should be.
So it looks to me like I've paid the Overlander roadhouse in WA for about 12 or 13 litrs of fuel I couldn't possibly have fit in my tank! Seems like Pump Number 1 is over reading, I'd hate to think how many truckies have filled up 1500+ litres from here and paid for a shitload of fuel they haven't used! I think I'll be sending an email to weights and measures or whoever it is that looks after this type of thing. Bastards!

Not angry, just an observation.
I've been reasonably active with some online purchasing lately.
Ordered some extendable mirrors on eBay on 30/8 from a Melbourne location, latest tracking information from this morning:
2 Sep 2020 4:35pm Shipping information approved by Australia Post
Ordered some Front Control Arm bushes via eBay from Melbourne on 8/9 late evening, latest tracking information from this morning:
11 Sep 2020 3:23am Item processed at facility SUNSHINE WEST, VIC
Ordered some specialist shockers on eBay from Birmingham England on 8/9 also late evening, sent via Heathrow and arrived customs in Melbourne on 9/9:
Cleared customs and delivered this morning via DHL.
I had to pay postage for both local items but the overseas item was free delivery.
Cheers

Jack, firstly there is no such thing as free postage, you pay for it in the item, its just not disclosed. Second, the entire postal and parcel delivery system is under a massive load, not enough flights from international locations, so delays, then locally in Aus we have Covod restrictions in play - Vic sends all parcels to NSW and SA for sorting then they are snt back to a skeleton crew for the final processing - I had a parcel purchased in Dandenong Vic, 20klm from hone, sent to NSW and then all the way to Adelaide before finally landing here - box was a bloody mess. Then I ordered gear from NSW and they used Toll and it was here at the front door 30 hrs later. I was talking to a postie yesterday and he has transferred from the letter deivison to parcels so he can work 70hrs a week, 7 day job, as much OT as he likes - Aust Post can't handle the postage as everything is being done on-line because retail has shutdown to a large degree. I have stuff that has been sitting 'awaiting delivery ' for 2 weeks. What I finally did on one delivery was raise a tracking enquiry and it was here 2 days later - delivered at 8pm by an Aust Post contractor - its just a mountain being harvested by a few ants at the moment it seems. Must be demoralising at the coal face i would think.
