Of course if I still smoked and there was a hint of banning them you know I would be the first one out to the Rez to buy 10 cases of them.

At 50 cartons per master case, that would of lasted me less than 8 months prior to vaping!

Yeah, but re-mortgaging the house to afford them, payments would last... forever!

@Willie Good seeing you back and doing well! :)

Afternoon Gracie! This was an exceptionally busy afternoon for me too. Cleaning house, planting in the garden and last but not least mixing juice. Juicy Peach this time.

In case anyone has any doubt let me assure you bomex glass graduated cylinders shatter really well when they fall out of the top shelf of the kitchen cabinet onto a granite counter top and tile floor. Took almost 1/2 hour to clean up all the little shards and you never know if you got em all!

.... doing math.... huh?
500 cartons in 8 months?
2 cartons a day?
I musta missed something, or I totally mis-grok "master case".

Regardless, ain't it wonderful to not be enslaved by them things any more?

Here's some video with an ND 8 filter, should have used the ND 4 filter methinks. Very bright outside but a little hazy, and you can see how the stiff breeze was blowing the trees. (15 mph with gusts to 23 mph, I read it on the Internet.) Still, pretty good quality with the 4K camera of the Phantom 3 Pro. Now I gotta learn about F stops and shutter speed and stuff. Amazing how little I know about photography.

Whoops! Video is still uploading to YouTube, only 35% so far. Will post link once it's uploaded.

Waited until the end of the day to post my wishes for a happy Veteran's Day to our beloved Military Porchers. My undying, everlasting gratitude to each of you. May you path ahead be that much more filled with rewards because of the path you chose to travel. May the service you receive always out shine the service you rendered. And may your days & nights be filled with sweet dreams & beautiful memories to eclipse any lack of peace you may have experienced in order to provide for me & mine. I sincerely love & respect you all.
that is beautiful Kenna!!! totally agree wiff Iffy. :wub:

We make a big deal outa Memorial Day and the 4 th but seem to slide over V day.
That's a shame. It's a pretty big deal here, then again it would sorta have to be with Fort Hood in our backyard. But I'm very glad that we're very military conscious here.

When the POWs were returning to the United States in 1973 I was stationed at Miramar, CA. I was new in the Navy and stationed at one of the fighter squadrons. I was chosen to be on the Honor Guard for the returning POWs.
Wow, what an honor and incredible memory for you!

@2legsshrt ... so what is it w/ people out in your neck of the woods. Just saw a news article that the students at Seattle Pacific University could not 'present' the colors or say the pledge of alligence during a veteran's day program in a university church because "there is diversity of views on campus' over doing it. What the heck!:mad:
that's inexcusable!! Just makes me sick.

Our daughter is now engaged to another helo pilot. His birthday is tomorrow and he will be leaving for Afghanistan tomorrow afternoon. Please keep him in your prayers.
He'll definitely be in my prayers! please keep us posted on him. I'm so grateful our soldiers these days can keep in touch with family easier these days. the whole time my son was deployed I kept thinking about what wives and mothers went through in earlier generations when letters were few and far between and took weeks or months to arrive.

Don't know what kind but hoping I will still be able to get my flavors. I'm going to stock up on those too.
thought you done did that! lol But I did see later you said you wanna make sure ya got tons of your 3 favs.

You need more coffee. I shouldn't be drinking any more myself, but it doesn't much matter. I'm headed to bed shortly anyway. I got in late this morning, did laundry and had every intention of staying up all day so I would be tired enough to go to bed early tonight. I can already see THAT'S not going to happen!!
Soooooo glad you're home! Hope you got some rest.

It is not education anymore, now it is indoctrination.:-x
that's the truth in many of these colleges!!

I feel that if these people are left alone they will give Hitler a run for his money.
Jup!! I fear many just don't understand how big a threat this really is to the US. Successful or not, we have to do everything we can to stop it.

wow, that's eye opening huh! So glad we're not still enslaved to those things!

Woopsy! So glad you're branching out a bit in your DIY!

Here's some video with an ND 8 filter, should have used the ND 4 filter methinks.
Is this from the one you hoped was fixed, but you weren't sure?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Pat .. the conundrum is "Why not ban cigarettes themselves .. ??" A proven very bad health hazard .. I think we can all cite more than one example of why ..

It's like this Willie. Some people just need to tell the rest of us what we can't do. Let's keep smoking around for awhile. That way, they can some low hanging fruit to target - instead of us.

Nope he said 50 cartons per case not 500. So using 4.3 weeks per month times 8 months is 34.4 weeks coming out to about 1.45 cartons per week.

I think Iffy's getting the 500 cuz whoever originally said it, said something about 10 cases. Legs I think

I'm glad ya at least got da P3P QC issue figured out. That's an awesome, impressive and stable vid in 15mph breezes!

I'll be happy just to see grass blades in SD (post flight) wid my setup once it arrives.

May I ask where ya had da P3P config issues?

Again, terrific vid and jealous!


So what's the most Eastern State in the United States?

Point of order: Yes, Iffy said 50 cartons per case, but the post that he quoted spoke of buying 10 cases, not 1 case.

I think that it is necessary to connect the remote control to the tablet, or at least, I have not been able to connect to the camera view without doing that. A cord is included for doing that, but if that necessity was stated anywhere, I sure missed it. Seven zillion pages of instructions, many of which contradict each other and most of which was written originally in Chinese and then apparently translated by Google, lol.

Updating the firmware is a royal PITA too. Just ridiculous. Other stuff too leaves me scratching my head, don't really know how I got it working, just know that I did, and it was therefore worth every cuss word uttered during the ordeal.
