My lawnmower has arrived.
It's probably going to piss it down forever now.
I had 33m of 33.7mm steel tubing arrive yesterday with a load of right angle and three way interclamps.
Once the net and baffle arrive and I've worked out how to get it over a 3m high scaffolding cube I'll have myself a golf driving net.
Cannot wait!
11 metres worth of fencing timber, and a load of deck boards. 90sqm of turf, and 4 bags of topsoil.
Finally getting this garden finished, it's only taken 7 years....
I ordered a couple of oil filters for my Street Triple on Tuesday,still not arrived.
The only reason I had to order them is because the official Triumph dealer I called in at the other month sold me the wrong one.It only became apparent after I took the old one off.
I also ordered some brake caliper seals for my old FZ750,ordered 8.10 am Weds morning,they've still not dispatched them,no hurry there as I've got the Triumph to ride,oh hang on...
No beer delivery from vocation brewery for me, its been sat at the DHL sorting office/depot since monday and they don't deliver on saturdays so guess i'll have to brave the shops to get my alcohol fix for the weekend.
Oakley DRT5 has come, a major upgrade from the 7iDP M2. Also my decathlon running boxers and headband, means I can run in the heat for longer wearing shorts and without having to drink my own sweat. Yay!
Need to order a Hope bolt and teardrop nut for my seat collar as I'm fitting a 34.9 collar to a 35.6 post, may as well go black to match my V4 calipers while I'm at it.
Other than that, nothing on it's way 🙁 Except my fox dropper which is somewhere in Germany undergoing a warranty service.
All the stuff I want to buy now is big stuff or not really needed, i.e. an MT500 jacket (won't be riding up any mountains for a while, or doing any big rides in bad weather), some IXS elbow pads (won't be riding anything gnar enough to warrant them for a while), Fabric Team saddle (no post to put it on!), Luftkappe and 160mm shaft for my fox 36 (this will probably be the next purchase).
New laptop after my trusty Dell finally gave up a couple of days ago.
An oximeter (purchase fuelled by C19 threads here).
Some squirty bottle things for quelling the dog's more irritating foibles.
Cheap bluetooth phone camera remote shutter release for riding shot fun.
Oh, and some DT Swiss torque caps for the RocketMAX build.
Hollister emailed me about a 20 - 80% sale. There was nothing I really needed. Hopefully it will all be here by weekend...
My vinyl gloves arrived finally!
Waiting on a Yamaha THRii amp, wireless guitar Tx & Rx, strings and Lemon Oil. Oh and a couple of Variax batteries.
Garden Jenga
Weber Go Anywhere bbq
Went a bit nuts on Rapha 25% off over the weekend. Looks like a lot of people did as got an email from them yesterday saying it might be a while for delivery!
Also looking forward to a top up of bbq coals.
Monsoon Estates Coffee
Golden Monkey Tea
Tiny Rebel mixed case of beers
A cosmetically marked ooni koda as a birthday present to me from me. 202 quid. Then they announced the fyra last night..... But i think I'll be happier with gas on a snowy Friday in January
An elite sterzo
A baby walker off amazon for jnr.
Berghaus Key Workers offer. Bought some waterproof Goretex trousers...2-3 week wait due to exceptional number of orders! Probably could have foreseen that with a 50% discount offer!
I think I've gone a bit overboard on spending. Honda Fireblade arrived on the first day of lock down and a new Santa Cruz Blur is due for delivery this week. I'm trying to convince myself that I'm supporting local businesses....
So my wait just got a bit longer 😭.
The nice folks I’m having my frame (and other stuff) off have pulled some strings to be able to incorporate the 2021 Fox stuff, but it’s gonna be another ‘hopefully 6 weeks (ish)’. So with a bit of luck just in time to be able to get out on a proper ride on nice dry trails. Or it will piss it down for 40 days and nights, upon everything’s arrival.
In other news, a strong contender for ‘smallest thing, delivered in the biggest box’ threw its hat in the ring yesterday.
Seems ze Germans have a shortage of envelopes...
received so far - pedals, seat and grips/ jump leads.
Waiting on - a clash T-shirt, some asbestos encapsulation paint, books for some online training I'm starting next week.
Stanton Switch9er full build. I think I may have a long wait.
If anyone likes torches (that's FLASHLIGHT in American)
The headphones I ordered from Gearbest got "lost" so they are sending another paid. The jacket also got "lost" so I got a refund. Not doing too well!
Oh I also ordered a pair of Nike SFB Gen2 Field boots (goretex light military boots - wanted some light gtx boots as rainy season is upon us!)
Bought an Encore 4 Bass on the ‘bay, Needs cleaning up and seller apologises a string broke when he was testing it. Id have bought new stringS anyway, and I’ll clean up the hardware as I’m setting it up. Should arrive tomorrow or Saturday. Throbtastic .
New front door lock as the current one has decided to start chewing up keys. Down to the last one now and panicking slightly. At least the house is occupied all the time now. Company: "We're processing orders as normal". Still waiting 10 days later.
New chain for my road bike from Wiggle. Not being despatched yet, but only ordered yesterday.
Birthday present for a friend from Blackwells. Ordered a week ago, not left the warehouse yet.
If you run a company and are swamped but continue to accept orders, you're on *the list*. Look at how Decathlon handle it and copy them.
crawler truck
upgrades for crawler
endless looking for bike parts/clothing for no reason as I have all I need
But
I need a new helmet don't I?
Batteries for RC truck - ordered but not despatched yet.
Paint and spares for a mower rebuild - ordered but not despatched yet.
Only one of these deliveries I'm excited about...
Transmission oil for the RAV.
Resisting the urge to complete Amazon atm...
2kg of cheese from the fantastic https://www.northumberlandcheese.co.uk
48 cans of Brewdog various as I haven’t been inside a supermarket for a month and I don’t intend to start now! My wife tends to view my beer requests as best serviced with ‘lowest cost bidder’. Hence ending up with 24 bottles of Kronenberg 🙁
1xPair orange superstar pedals for my Ripley.
1xmost of a drivetrain for my SolarisMax. Once fitted I expect it’ll have the same effect on the weather as the poster who has order a lawnmower.
2xBell. Mandatory for social distancing on the old railway path I use.
Postman is about the most exciting thing nowadays 😉
Oakleys have just arrived, to replace the ones that saved my eyes when I crashed last summer
Magic Knight Rayearth for sega saturn - been a month already from states (USPS)
Castlevania SoTN for PS1 - been 2 weeks from states
2021 debonair spring - w/c 24th expected

Also a pair of binoculars (some threads can make your money burn as well as your blood boil)
Cotic FlareMax
Some wine from Paso Primero
A yellow Behringer TD3
An Apeman wildlife camera
And a Zoom MS70CDR effects pedal
Trying to work out the delivery timing so my order of yet another pair of running shoes to arrive when my wife is at work.
Ditto more beer.
I could do with a few things from PX too but can’t justify their delivery charge for so little.
Trying to work out the delivery timing so my order of yet another pair of running shoes to arrive when my wife is at work.
Yep, I'm the same, except substitute "running shoes" with "Planet X Tempest" and "Transition Scout"
Ordered a new dose of MOJO but it's being quarantined until lockdown finishes
Wine here, was the last thing I ordered, first to arrive, still can't complain 🙂
Slightly lost track on this - spent all the money I’ve saved on not eating lunch whilst travelling switch work / on fuel on ‘stuff’.
Rest of the di2 bits I needed to convert my road bike, new bbq, various new clothes, os map to explore the local area on my bike solo from the front door, wall mounted parasol for the garden, new brake pads for various bikes, fork seals, fork seal driver, new decals for forks, suntan lotion, frame blanking caps and grommets for the di2 conversion, new bar tape......I’m sure there are other things.
Oh yes, some hair clippers, the dog is hot and can’t go to be cut professionally to I’m having a go when they arrive. What could possibly go wrong?
Artisan cheese arrived yesterday, and Belgian trappist beer arriving today. That's this evening sorted then 🙂
Also waiting for a new ESC for my Tamiya car, a puncture repair kit and some screen protectors for my daughter's phone.
First pair of Hebtroco kecks.
Have basically worn sweatpants for the last 4 weeks, no real need for proper clothes, but had been looking for black jeans with no patch for ages and suddenly...
Excruciatingly expensive in EUR so hoping they last
What trappist beer did you get delivered?
Currently waiting on:
A pan from The Netherton Foundry Linky
A new tyre and BB for my Soma B-side Singlespeed
Also had some lovely lump-wood charcoal turn up from Whittle and Flame - So nice to cook on.

1 pair grips
1 pair bar ends
1 bottom bracket
1 pump
2 tyres
1 bicycle
1 barbecue
1 set helmet pads
Wholemeal flour
Yep, I’m the same, except substitute “running shoes” with “Planet X Tempest” and “Transition Scout”
That’s a fine effort 🙂 I’d expect hiding them post delivery might be a little harder than stashing a pair of shoes.
Tempest is great tho. Just been out on mine again. Perfect lockdown bike.
Muc-off order... appreciate they are helping key workers but no update on order is making me impatient, even though I knew it would be 5-7 days after placing order before it would be processed.
Need to order new pads, some kids gloves and a female saddle for my daughter so will be waiting on those after tonight's ordering.
6 bottles of Austrian red plus 2 English White arrived today (Red = Judith Beck and is fab)
Waiting on a S/H SS frame from LFGSS which will need some bits.
Sorry posties! Will try and ease off.
A brand X dropper from CRC. 12 bottles of red and 36 cans of beer from Adnams.
The Wolfenstein games are ok and worth playy

Fiil T1 x headphones (1st pair didn't arrive, second pair in transit (or Mercedes Sprinter))
1 Aphex Twin sticker to replace the one I'd put on my bike and lasted 2 days before someone at work knocked my bike over and the only damage was the bloomin' sticker).

Got to wait for the dealer to be allowed to trade again as they're closed,
Uberbike brake pads, and a 3rd attempt as some Torx wrenches from Planet-X without someone nicking them from the package....
Had a mechanical out on my one a day ride yesterday and now need a Di2 wire.
Thought while I had the bike stripped and time on my hands that I would replace the frame bearings. Trouble is, I can only buy 2 at a time from my usual supplier; probably to stop Yeti owners panic buying.
I need 6, so will have to shop around.
An M16 x 1.0 die to cut a thread for a (motorcycle) shock extension.
1.875kg of quality coffee beans.
2 Arvo Pärt cds.
Took the plunge and ordered a load of QD fittings for the brewing rig. If things go to plan, they should arrive just as the rest of the stuff does and just in time for me to brew another batch of beer
A Line6 DT25 valve combo that Andertons say could be shipped out to me tomorrow. And a Floyd Rose to replace the worn trem on the second guitar.
Isadore base layer & socks.
Weeksy that's a beaut mate!
Thanks aphex. The wait is irritating me lol
Bunch of Meters Music headphones and a B-Social practice amp from the Ashdown engineering B-Stock sell off, and a Hofner bass from PMT.
Decided to learn to play bass in lockdown.
Having taken the plunge and shaved my head with my little beard clippers, I’ve just ordered a Remington clipper thing that looks a bit like a computer mouse, so making future trimming/mowing a lot quicker and easier! £25, so as I’ve been paying £10 to have my hair cut, about once every month or so, it’ll pay for itself fairly quickly.
Beer and tools.... had a bit of a mental day and decided to buy some matched sockets and spanners.... 1/4, 3/6 and 1/2 standard and deep metric socket rails. I can get ride of some of the mixed stuff I inherited.
Vocation beers - received; not much left.
Itchen Valley Brewery - ordered; being bottled.
Bike bits to complete a long-running refurb/build of an Indy Fab steel deluxe rigid SS; all to LBS:
- USE carbon seat post and bars
- Middleburn cranks and associated bits
- White Industries cog
- Izumi chain
- Bontrager anodised pedals
- XT brakes
- Hope fortus wheels
A boost adaptor kit off a fellow member here 🙂
To help finish a build
I swear the posty is stashing it to deliver at xmas
A pair of rivelo bib shorts from sport pursui.
Was waiting for a Garmin 245, mostly to feed my homeworking cardiovascular paranoia. Ordered next day but thanks the Herpes 'mislaying' it, it's taken 2 weeks to get an offer of a refund from Wiggle.
In the mean time decided hydraulicising the gravel bike was a better idea, the old 105 stis have been through about 4 bikes and are getting glitchy.
On the subject of Wiggle, they and CRC seem to be price gouging Tiagra 4720 Shifters at 320GBP while Bike24 and BikeDiscount have them under 200 euros the pair. Nearly half the price!
Anyways, waiting on a Tiagra groupset minus the calipers and chainset. Where best to get mineral oil?
Bosch DME Relay
Angle grinder
Acid etch primer
Stone chip paint
Lo41 black paint
Cavity wax
Ton bag of compost
3 buffs
Gt85
Battery pack for a Vax blade
Barbeque! The chimney starter has arrived already Come On!
Canvas fabric for a garden awning. Essentially I'm ordering a new garden is a project i'm calling.
Operation "if we are going to be stuck here we might aswell make it nice!
Some paints from Humbrol for a recently purchased Airfix Stuka and some modeling knives and replacement blades.
Oh my herpes.
The company who have not heard of sat nav.
Every time they try to deliver to my house they claim they cannot find it.
Ordered a new saddle for the propel after deciding since I was spending so much time on turbo I should move my age old flite on there. Nice SLR 165 much reduced on wiggle . Comfy saddles just don't last long enough to justify full price.
Ooni still not here but at least they are honest about it rather than Hermes. They are just over whelmed and understaffed /isolating
Waiting on winstanleys dispatching the new headset up to replace the old snapped cup. ..... Ooni might beat them
Currently waiting for this:
And a tin of blue spray paint for the Tamiya RC Car me and the boy are currently building.
We actually had a 'We tried to deliver but you were out' type card from DPD yesterday. Considering I was sat no more than 5m from the front door I was impressed with their laziness.
Also waiting on a ball valve to make my snow foam adaptor... if you've seen the paint work on my cars you would wonder why? Hey.. marketing works...and it looks cool... it's the first time in years I've had a drive and been able to wash my cars at home!
Beer from Electric Bear, joined Flavourly beer discovery club and bought their 20 pack.... should keep me going!
Beer from Siren Craft Brewery.
They will do you 10& off your first order if you sign up to their newsletter.

1 x Stem for tandem
2 x Offset Bushings for hightower
1 x T shirt
2 x GP5000 Tyres for road bike

1 x pair Teva sandals
1 x STW back issue
Anyone else turning into a roadie?
So far I've bought sis recovery drink, energy gels, a Garmin edge 530 and some Conti GP5000's.
Waiting for a couple of new pairs of bibs, a loud but discounted morvelo top off CRC and one of those new Rockshox air shaft upgrade kits with the nut.
Definitely some boredom spending from me!
I spent the first few weeks trying to be good and minimise the work people were having to do in warehouses and via delivery, then caved and ordered resistance bands, a new Captains of crush hand grip trainer (the 1.0), a pizza oven, then realised I needed some new bbq gloves as I've burnt through the old ones, some charcoal, some smoking wood, some frame tape to clean and repair the wedding photos that have thunder bugs in them, coffee several deliveries of coffee, beer from siren, an office chair as I've been on a dining chair for 5 weeks and it sucks. I think that's about it.
I am currently eyeing up either a new TV or some floor standing speakers to replace my stand mount Mordaunt shorts which are 12/13 years old now. But I need neither of these things.
I have 3 frames incoming 6 weeks out at least .
Norco DJ , Privateer 161 and lastly a Morph steel FS.
Had all the build kit arrive and honestly the cardboard fills an entire blue bin. Its shameful.
Accidentally bought an AudioEngine D1 DAC. Can't even say these are "lockdown" purchases but I'm pleasing myself with rewards as I've been 4 months off cigs completely and the difference is, this time I WANT to stay stopped. Amazing how much extra cash you have when you're not spending close to $40 on a pack!
Quite the week for me waiting and watching the letterbox....
A stack of beer from Abbeydale Brewery and Wold Top
Some merch from STW
3 new smoke detectors to replace the ones that expired 3 years ago!!!
A new beard/hair trimmer, finally bought something decent
