Rainy day
Carl, you didn't get water on the brain did you?
Seriously good shopping list.
About your Bandsaw Was in Hare and Forbes today. Their sale is on 6,7,8
March. Can you hold on that long?
In any case amble over to Boundary Rd. at Acacia Ridge and have an optic. I'm very pleased with all of my Hafco gear.
Send me an email. Cheers.

You shop like me determining the value of each individual item without considering the total. Me at Bunnies yesterday....
"That's only 10 bucks I'll get one of them."
"I need some cord for the whipper snipper"
"I should try that Danish Oil.... I'll get a medium sized one"
"Should get some super glue"
"Need some more indoor aquadhere"
"Oh there's that glue they were talking about on the forum the other day I'll get one of those only 12 bucks"
"Wow those esky ice thingys shaped to keep your six pack cold are only 5 bucks each I'll get a couple of those."
"Mustn't forget those AAA batteries I came here for in the first place...."
Waiting at checkout staring nonchalantly into large cardboard boxes...
"Those brackets will come in handy for hanging stuff from the garage ceiling and they're only 10 bucks"
"That will be $163 please.... credit?
Bloody expensive those batteries !!!
HH.Always look on the bright side...

I'm in the throes of moving house, and have spent some time looking for good systems to organise my stuff.
I was a bit surprised to find that everything on my latest shopping list was considerably cheaper at Kmart, than at Bunnings!
OTTOMH...
Fischer 20 drawer parts organiser - $22 Kmart, $29 Bunnings
Clear 20 compartment box - $9.99 Kmart, $12.99 Bunnings
Crystal Clear 500 ml - $14 Kmart, $23 Bunnings
Cheers,
Andrew
