    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

    It would seem like a good idea until you saw your first one up close and personal. It's not like you see in the movies.

    I did not get to watch the news today. But I'm sure that now that the flood waters are receding, the looting starts.

    LOL. Someone in the office could be a little behind on current events, eh??

    Yep, a lot of people left N.O. during (and after) Katrina and never came back. A lot of them went to Houston. Unfortunately, many of the ones who left and stayed gone were not missed terribly by the fine citizens of the Big Easy. Houston would be happy to provide free transportation for them...

    I heard today that if you funneled all the water flow from the Mississippi River into Houston for 9 straight days, it would equal the amount of rain they've had.

    I'm here. We're high and dry for now. We've had a few minor showers from the far edge of the outflow from Harvey. But just minor stuff. I've been in touch with my friends and co-workers in the Houston area, and they're getting hammered. My buddy out in Katy said it's been raining in sheets...

    Same thing happened on my 4runner a couple of years ago. Turned out it was some electronic part (a relay I think) that crapped out, so it was a cheap fix.

    No, 95 degrees plus 102% humidity should only equal 197, which should be downright balmy. So stop yer gripin'. ;)

    I envision being on a motorcycle on those roads.

    There are long stretches of I-10 between San Antonio and El Paso that have an 85mph speed limit. And the speed limit on the 130 toll road that goes around the east side of Austin is 80mph. If you're on I-10 in an 85mph area, someone is going to want to go 95, and there will be someone behind...

    It's 97 degrees with a heat index of 108 here, and I've been outside burning a brush pile. Just what a person needs to be doing when it feels like 108 already. :facepalm:

    I hated to "like" that post, but I do like that you're tenacious enough to tackle that job yourself. I hate working on modern cars.

    Well, we had another big rain here this morning. This is the strangest August I remember. Below average temps and lots of rain. August is usually very hot and very dry.

    Yep, there are speed limits here. We consider them to be advisory only. ;) Actually, I drive about 3-4 mph over the limit on the freeway. That way I'm making decent time, but no worries about getting a ticket. I'm especially careful when I'm driving in Louisiana, as the cops there LOVE...

    Yes, the original 20 watt iStick didn't have a spring loaded center pin, and I had the same issue. All the newer ones have a spring loaded center pin, and they don't have that issue.

    Bridget, I really like the eLeaf iStick 30 watt and 40 watt mods. They're small, simple to use and the built-in battery lasts all day with plenty of life to spare even with pretty heavy vaping. They can last several days with light vaping. They have a spring-loaded center pin, so I have no...

    I was working outside all day today in that heat. It was absolutely miserable.

    I've been in Baton Rouge the last few days. The humidity there is oppressive.

    Kaepernick is protesting the symbol of the thing that gives him the right to protest. Does not compute. :confused:o_O:facepalm:
