    Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

    I worked for several years in a fabrication shop. The correct technical term is "boogered" the threads. I'm so terrible about getting stuff done, Legs. I was asked to do a video and haven't gotten around to it yet.

    Who were the Core Four? There are so many nicknames for various groups of Yankees but I'm not familiar with that one. Ruth, Gehrig, Koenig, Meusel? Running, Hiding, Behind, Couch?

    The Pico models have removeable batteries, but the iSticks without Pico in the name have built-in, non-removeable batteries.

    Are there any NY Yankee fans besides myself here? Yankees just beat Cleveland 3 games to 2 after trailing 2 games to none. Woot! Bring on dem Astros!

    While we weren't looking, ECF went and removed the 2nd and 3rd sets of feedback numbers, which corresponded to neutral feedback and negative feedback. Since there's no such animal as negative feedback, the 3rd set always showed as -0. Now, the only number that appears in profiles is the amount...

    Shallot powder is the newest destination on the spice voyage. I'd heard of shallots but that's about it. The description at myspicesage.com said the taste is similar to onions but more subtle. If I didn't have that info in my head, onions would not have been my initial taste impression. It is...

    If I'd been told that two of the ratings were neutral and the remainder were positive, I'm not at all sure I'd have guessed correctly which two were neutral. I think that if someone leaves feedback via clicking an icon, it should be counted as positive, especially given the fact that none of the...

    I prefer the round power button and flat top of the iStick 40 over the square power button and sloped top of the iStick 30. For my purposes, the iStick 40 does not work very well in TC mode, so I never used that feature anyway. It never bothers me, though, to have capabilities that I don't use...

    This place in the US makes and sells stainless steel coils. Stainless steel coils can be used in wattage mode or they can be used in temperature contol mode. I ordered some of their 316 SS Clapton coils and have only been using them for a few days, in temperature control mode. The quality and...

    The 5 pepper melange in my pepper grinder is now a 6 pepper melange, two of which are not true peppers: grains of paradise and Jamaican allspice. Budget style Surf 'n' Turf: a pinch or two of dirt in a pot of water. Add salt to taste. Take notes. A pop quiz may pop up at any time.

    Correction: the grains of paradise are still hard and crunchy. The ones that aren't are flakes of oregano. :cool:

    I think I'll just add them in with the peppercorns in the pepper grinder. I hadn't thought of using my blender. Good idea! Interestingly, they've now softened up and are no longer crunchy or hard after about 12 hours marinating in the fridge with the food with which they were cooked. So that...

    This is 20 ml of joose in a Steam Crave Aromamizer Plus tank. I thought it might taste weak and thin, and that drawing on it would be laborious, but no, the performance and taste is fabulous, better than the same tank in 10 ml mode. For jollies and pictorial shock value I show it atop an...

    The grains of paradise have softened up just a tiny bit after marinating a few more hours in the fridge. I thought I would have to smash them with the back of a spoon or something, but it's not necessary. As long as there is more than one in my mouth, I can grind them against each other. Then...

    My dislike for the Dallas Cowboys and for Notre Dame athletics is way out of proportion to anything they've ever done to me, and I don't even know why I've felt that way for about 40 years. Today's new-to-me spice is Grains of Paradise. I only have one pepper grinder and it's currently full of...
