@andy256 :) But andy, it's THE RULES

@Criggie I hope so. I will find out.

@andy256 yeah, hard to know. Sadly it came up in my review queue and there is no "wait and see if the edit is good" option, so I shan't be asked to review it again. I will have to manually go back and check. Like the folding recumbent guy, who I suspect is just a fan of the thing whose english is not so good. Hard to tell.

yup I hate to think what the cost of those is.

bent == spendy, as is folding.

spendy * spendy ?

spendy ^ spendy ?

well, made it back to il

il ?

illinois

where i live

ahhhh sorry could have been a number of things

I didn't realise you lived there

@Batman Good to hear, given the weather!

Cool change came through, we've gone from 40 degrees to 21. It's marvellous. Now to cool the house down :)

Thanks for the DX links. Sorry for not responding earlier. Was out of town.

robo: all good. Personally I buy some things there but not others. Its all chinese so the quoted battery capacities are outright lies. Plus they won't ship batteries to New Zealand now... something about explosions on planes. Why this stops them sendinc cr2032 coin batteries I don't know, but it does.

@andy256 - yeah, i avoided most of it by paying 50 dollars to use toll roads rather than my usual route

$50 for toll roads? Seems excessive - or is that normal ?

I think the last toll road I used was in Tauranga and cost $3 to cross

Yikes? AusDollars or USD? Either way, expensive!

USD.

i'm in the US.

it was about 40 for Pennsylvania turnpike, 7 for a bridge to go from NJ to PA and then another 4 for using the New Jersey turnpike to get to the bridge

i was hoping to avoid that bridge, but i didnt realize my gps switched routes when i made a wrong turn and put me on that bridge.

ouch

america - nickel and dimeing you to death since 1770

Yeah, that I-95 corridor between NY and PA can be a killer.

I'm assuming you were riding? Or driving ?
