Jack12477 Posted March 10, 2020 Share #42 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Erie County NY ran out of toilet paper, hand wipes, sanitizer, paper towels, bottled water, hand soap. THIS is a County that knows how to hunker down when Lake Effect snow storms dump 7 feet of snow in 48 hours. NY State passed Seattle and California 2 days ago in number of cases, but majority are in NY CITY with one case up here in Ulster County. But NOOOOO cases west of Albany NY. So Far ! My Epidemiology (PhD) daughter says best infectious disease control is containment, meaning cancel everything you can and keep people separated from each other, wash hands with soap and water frequently and don't touch your face.

RGL Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share #60 Posted March 19, 2020 So while I’m still awaiting the upgrade from China, I bought a spares set from HMS Exeter on. FB group, deck set, masts set and frets for $30; that’s about $15 US at the moment. I don’t intend on building her but the masts alone are with $30 and can swap out plastic ones. lmagna, ccoyle, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
