The lemons are a bit of amusement to keep me sane in isolation.
The missus has cracked and watches politicians on TV a sure sign.
Like fire, ammonium nitrate is a good servant but a bad master.
26k south of Charleville there is a memorial at the creek. There is another closer to Moranbah, we came across it by chance years ago.
The bull bar of the truck was found kilometres away.
I used to make a hole with a crow bar, and carefully poke a quarter stick or so of AN gelignite The essence is carefully and lack of metal. A couple of spadefulls of clay and light the safety fuse.
This "bulling" of the hole under the stump gave room to get a freezer bag of ANFO with det under the stump. Typically 200g of ANFO lifted the stump. Too much is not better.
I did not know there is a bulk storage of ammonium nitrate near Newcastle. Had surmised that mining is on the decline there - maybe not.
Do have more confidence in Orica storage than the Lebs.
