This evening I filled the tanks of both my cars, and drove to the local Don Quichotte to buy supplies. Not in Colignian proportions, but I am kind of prepared for the big one (if one can be prepared for that).
Now I need a plan...
My stocks are vertical AND horizontal. Quantity AND kind...
Like... 20 spray cans of WD40 plus a 1 gallon tank, few kilos of drywall screws. 1 shopping bag full of double side tape for automotive aero body kits. (The 2mm gray foam superstrong). 5 spray paint cans gunmetal. 14 kilos of cat litter. 10 2mm 4 flutes HSS endmills, 5 replacememt tips for 40w soldering iron. 18 rolls of coreless toilet paper roll (1 roll is good for 3 weeks), 4 vacuum cleaners, 2 spare 800w computer PSUs...
And you should see my stock of spare jigsaw blades...
Plus the normal stuff...
(I think I have a serious hoarding problem...)
You might be interested but I picked up a dozen or so 40cm chem lights at the 100yen shop. Pretty good deal I thought. Threw some in the vehicles and a few here and there around the house. I have a few flash lights but kids play with them so when the power goes out there isn't always juice left in them.
Really want a backup generator but the wife isn't on board yet
