Sarah, I have a nearly unused Kroma-A, white, with a white zenith.
I don't use it, don't need it, is there one you could use instead of your broken Kroma-A?
I'd be happy to flip it over the pond for you.
That is a very kind offer, Tor, but honestly I'm just as pleased no longer to have an internal battery mod. After buying it, I switched to external battery devices exclusively. I only mourn it because it was my first.

That said, you sure are a nice guy.

My first mod was a Sig 20 tube mod. I quit smoking with it. It lasted 5 years before it shorted out and died. By that time I didn't use it much, but it was still sad losing my first mod.
Yup.

It's also a pain that it's an internal battery mod, and the battery is still viable. I'm leery about tucking it away with the other batteries I will eventually recycle, since I'm afraid it will do something naughty. I'm thinking of just leaving it outside till the time comes for the trip to the recycling center.

I tried this Vicious Vanilla clone:
Bavarian Cream-tfa-3.5%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl-cap-.25%
Creme Brulee-inw-1.5%
Vanilla Swirl-tfa-2.25%
Vienna Cream-fa-1.5%
Vanilla Cream Extra-wf-1%
Vanilla Custard II-tfa-3.5%
The taste is fine, but at the same time, a bit harsh, constantly clearing my throat.
I think I misread the recipe or just over did it.

I've since found a different recipe, and added a few tweeks:
Bavarian Cream-tfa-1.5%
Custard-inw-3.5%
Creme Brulee-inw-1.5%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl-cap-.25%
Madagascar Vanilla-1%
Vanilla Swirl-tfa-2%
Vienna Cream-fa-1.5%


Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Maybe the guessers played it up to make you feel better that it didn't happen...

Yes, happy they blew it :)

But no, they also natter on about "the big one" whenever there's a small earthquake. More likely they played it up just in case they were right, so wouldn't be blamed...

Good morning. Going up to 53 today and sunny. Saturday is kids day for fishing so Mike is scrambling to get licenses for them. They don't really need them due to their ages, but for $3 we think it's worth it for them to feel "legal". It's supposed to be 81 and partly cloudy on Sat. so it'll be a perfect day for fishing. Hopefully it'll be a nice memory day with PopPop.

@DavidOck Glad to hear you missed that nasty storm. Probably would have been interesting to watch, but also could have caused damage with the hail. Maybe the guessers played it up to make you feel better that it didn't happen...

Morning, mixers.

Well, the panicked weather guessers should feel embarrassed, but they won't, of course. The "severe" t-storms and up to 1" hail didn't happen, and we were said to be in the bull's eye. Some minor t-storms for about a half hour, some heavy rain for the same and then just rain, and no hail. Pretty much what I expected, looking at the same maps as they were... :)

Uh, Hitt?
“It is going to be expensive,” said Ivan Drury, director of insights at Edmunds.com. He said it will be an unpleasant sticker shock that could come much sooner than most people realize, even before some of the cars that will now cost more to produce arrive at their local dealerships.
“It’s too soon to tell how much,” he said. “But it’ll be a couple of thousands of dollars, if not more.”

If that's still on your radar...

Good morning, David. :)

Morning, all.

Well, the big scary storm didn't happen. :)

All the guessers were in a panic, "major" t-storms, hail up to 1", winds to 60 mph. Even watched 2 local stations, both the same guess. Even though the maps they both put up showed "slight" chance...

T-storms for about a half hour, no hail, breezes up to maybe 20. Rain was heavy for a bit, then just rain.

Happy they were so wrong!
