    The REO Lounge - Part III

    Long day today. 96* outside so was a hot one working. Knocked off a little early to take DD to Dr. She's having trouble sleeping for a long time now and finally got approval to see a sleep specialist. Visit went well but may take a while to track down what's causing the problem. Then took her to...

I am happy to report that I have heard from Pietro and he also will be making the trip to Denver for the Service and representing the ECF family as we all pay our respects. Anyone who wants to...

    80's huh? Send them down here, you can keep the humidity. After the last 2 years in Oklahoma of record setting heat waves of over 45 days a year over 100*, it looks we will be back to our usual 4 months of high 90's with 70% plus humidity. Of course we will sprinkle 20 or so days in the 105-115...

    Isn't that the truth? I have read a lot of people all over ecf express the same thing. Something along the lines of 'I did not know him well but felt like I have known him forever'

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    Well as long as it does not break any ECF rules, and if it does we can find some other way to get around that lets do this. Kay felt it would be easiest and best to send the funds to my Paypal so I gave that info to her. Some donations have already come in there so we may as well keep it all in...

    Kay I am fine with whatever anyone here in the community wants to do in honor of Jack and happy to help in any way that I can. I will leave that to others to decide what shape and form and method would be best served. Like we talked about in our PM's, this is not about me or Pietro or anyone...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    That was like you were reading my mind and took the words right out of it. Lost my Dad 25 years ago when I was 19 and this feels very, very similar. I keep trying to post and join in but nothing really comes out and I just sit here thinking and remembering. I know it will get better but just not...

    REO Grand battery: 2900mah high drain?!

    Really in a REO or any mechanical. IGNORE mah ratings. They are completely useless and misleading. Much of the mah in the high capacity batteries comes well below 3.5v which is unusable mah and wasted. It is very hard to beat the good old AW IMR 1600mah battery for all aspects of vaping on REO.

    Update without any real update: Nothing new to share I am afraid. I am sure Jack's daughter is very busy with the many arrangements and responsibilities that come with caring for a family members final resting place and I have been loathe to disturb her and add any to her plate. I have not yet...
