uh, 86,708??

Morning, all.

Sounds like our week from hell-o was catching. At least we made it through...

Morning, mixers. Heck of a week, details not to follow.

Enough to say we made it through.

Today I'll be making a batch of hummus. Got to pop up the shop for garlic and lemon. A batch lasts me a long time. I can load up 7 or 8 tubs for the freezer. I like to have it in the fridge, it's a healthy snack and cheap to make. Actually I'll be making it tomorrow, the beans have to soak overnight first. Need indoor stuff to do over the weekend, we are expecting nonstop heavy rain.

Went out for a meal yesterday at a place called Slap Fish. Don't know it's just local chain or more widespread. I had the best fish and chips since I came to the US. They even provided vinegar to put on the chips. Since I got older I eat smaller and smaller portions but I cleared the plate this time.

The last time I had proper fish and chips, they came wrapped in newspaper. Ah, the good old days.

Yeah my only P67 is giving me fits lately.. been trying to use it more as I have more positive pins for it over the grands.

A while back it shorted and freaked me out as my battery was red hot! Literally was red and I caught it in time.

The little screw threads sticking out at the top next to the positive connection of the battery was making contact on the outer edge of the battery!

So i filed down that small screw so the threads dont stick out and touch anything.

Then shortly later I wasn't getting power abd tore it all apart.. didnt see anything. And worked again for a few hours.. then nothing again!

Tear it apart and clean everything and see nothing wrong.. ?? Think my little 16 wasn't making a good connection with the center pin on the 510. Haha.. anyways, its working again.

Magnets are the short coming of the reos.. :/ wish I never sold 4-6 of them long sgo from the stock pile!

Yesterday i got to remove the door on a newer Grand mod (3 mobths of use maybe) and I watch the magnet just fall off the mod! Lucky I caught it!

I go threw the usual process of reinstalling it.. marking thr right side to glue down.. and I failed!!! Haha.. glued it in backwards! Haha.. unreal!

I had 1 magnet left and I judt installed it onto a newer green door that lost both!

Lucky enough, the 1 magnet on the green door is on the opposite side of the revered magnet on the grand! Haha.. so I guess that's now the door I'll be always using on the now "black" super vein Reo Grand.

Could try soaking the magnet with nail polish remover.. but that never worked good for me in the past. Always have to drill them out to remove. :/


Down to 3 new Grands ( SL Gold Vein, SL Copper Vein and a SL Raw) and a like new SL Red grand. I've got plenty of others but the magnets eventually get all chipped up on the mods and doors.. its nasty. Guessing holes weren't cut flush so the magnets are exposed to wear. :/


Need to find magnets! Anyone ever sorce the right ones??


Edit: Reo P67 went down again shortly after this post.

It's the contacts! Pits from arking.. per usual. What i hate about the P67 is its 2 pieces one needs to swap out instead of one positive contact like the grand model.

Also I stripped the screw hole threads for the positive contact.. glad I remembered Robs tip of using a metal punch near the screw hole on the reo grand to shrink the threads so the stripped threads would shrink enough to bite the screw. Worked on the brass threads as well on the P67!

Great photo Willie!

Good morning people. 71 here with 87% humidity. Looks like it's going to rain any minute.

This was an eventful week. On Monday we saw 2 cop vehicles in front of our neighbors house. Turns out our neighbor was laying on the street. His Apple watch alerted the police that he fell. We ran over to assist, but his dog would not leave his side. I ran into the house to find his wife who had no idea anything was wrong. He was rushed to the hosp where they determined he'd had a catastrophic brain bleed. He'd recently had open heart surgery to repair a valve and had a pacemaker in which is what I think kept him going until his family could arrive. So sad. I'm going to miss seeing him sitting in his chair just inside his garage giving me a friendly wave.

Meanwhile Mike is still dealing with his gut issues. He's most comfortable standing or laying down so we've been running around to docs and getting tests done and changing his diet. So far they've only found mild Barretts Esophagus so they've ruled out a lot of serious things, Being on antibiotics for 2+ months isn't helping. Today is the last day for those. My gut tells me he's going to feel much better by this week. Fingers crossed.

All I can say is I hope the phone has an alarm on it that wakes the dead when we get the notification. Otherwise I'm going to be blissfully unaware of anything. I'm not one of those that stays married to their device at all hours of the day, especially after I get home. Phones go on the charger stand and get ignored. I don't know how many times someone has attempted to berate me for not answering a text message, and they get shut down when they're told text messages are not the way to get a hold of me especially as I have the notification sounds turned off. And if you aren't on my "preferred" list of people allowed to break through Do Not Disturb, I'll call you back once I do the rare check to see if anyone has attempted to call me.

Having a smart watch helps, too. I have it set to vibrate when a call or text comes through and I can discretely check to see who it's from.

Now... Let's say you want to play your files from a USB stick to use in your car (yes, you should be able to do this in newer vehicles). You're going to have to convert the music file from m4a to mp3 format. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't give you the ability to do this but it should be possible to do within iTunes. If you want the steps to do this, let me know and I'll draw up a quick tutorial on how to do it.

I have spent a lot of money over the years (started out with a nano) and I really don't have the time nor desire to try to download it elsewhere.

This is easier than you think. I'll boot to the Winderz side of my notebook so I can remember how it's done.

Edit -- You aren't going to believe this. Unless you're playing this stuff directly from iTunes, it should already be on your PC. Click on the Music folder and you should see a folder called iTunes. All your music is located there and can be played from Windows Media Player.

Good morning. I slept in a little this morning.

badinfluence357 good seeing you post, I hope life is good. I have been daily a D80+, Kontrl panels & bridge, XO tank - OCD satisfied.

"The FDA issued a marketing denial order (MDO) to Juul Labs for all of its PMTAs in June 2022 and ordered retailers to remove the products from store shelves. Juul said the FDA had ignored thousands of pages in its applications that addressed the very issues the agency had used as a basis to issue the denial order. The company sought and received a temporary stay from a federal court the next day.

Two weeks later, the FDA embarrassed itself by reversing course and putting its own denial order on hold, saying some scientific questions deserved additional review. Last year, the agency rescinded its MDO and placed the Juul products back into scientific review."

Sorry to say I just bought the first vape kit and I find it awful it’s to light on the draw, to sweet! Just disgusting to me. Now I have one I have waisted money on but I guess that’s what I get for switching. Will not make that mistake again!!!

Click to expand...

A kit is 3 or 4 things together even if some are combined: atomizer, coil, juice, and mod. I rarely if ever keep the same atty with the mod it came with, and I make my own juice.
The terms “light” and “sweet” can apply to either atomizers or juices.
Sometimes kits are a great idea, sometimes they're not, Sometimes they're the only way to get a particular atomizer or mod and part of the kit goes into immediate storage.
I don't know what is bundled together here. Some stuff is proprietary, some stuff is 510.
I have gotten to where if something isn't 510 I generally don't bother to look at it. There’s going to be something I don't like I’m being forced to deal with and its just nicer not to have to.
I find i prefer rebuildables for a couple reasons (rebuildables are also an order of magnitude cheaper to run) but on of them is that i can put in whatever resistance or sometimes coil design i want. Im not limited by what some marketing executive decides my choices are.

In the us its state by state, county by county, and township by township. Where I live there is effectively one city with several townships and counties. In one part of town something may be illegal while its legal on another. Businesses pick and choose. The Mall of America falls across such deliberately, so business licensing is different on one side of the building than another. It’s why all the restaurants are clustered together. It’s as close as they can get to an area without entering it.
