    Saving a ton via rta

    Not only are we saving some loot, we're a little more self sufficient. No worries that a company will stop making a particular tank or coil. Also, not having to worry about all the rapidly changing rules & regs with vape gear & shipping. Anything we can do to be a little more self sufficient...

    Similar here. Average around $110 - $120 quarterly. The weather might not be the greatest here, but there are advantages to having the Great Lakes nearby. Edit: I don't water the lawn. I'll water the flowers, but the lawn is on it's own.

    Yeah, they're an insurance company. Heaven forbid they might have to accept risk

    Doubled? That stinks. Home insurance for us went up $12 / month, a few years ago. Our car insurance rates actually dropped a decent chunk not that long ago. I retired, so 35 miles a day going to work, dropped to 35 miles a month. Kids no longer lived here, and Michigan changed some laws that...

    We're still in our first house, 40 years later. Over the years raising a couple of kids, we contemplated 'maybe sell and get a bigger house'. We never pulled the trigger, because we absolutely love this neighborhood. It's an actual neighborhood in every sense, and not just a subdivision. So we...

    I just received my 22 summer tax bill in the mail, yesterday. After the initial sticker shock, and a few profanities, I compared it to 21 summer tax bill. It had gone up $50 lol. I guess that was my 'old man yells at cloud' moment for the day.

    It made a pretty fair bit of difference, in the vape / air. I actually prefer them stock. It was one of those things that sounded good at the time. Yes, it does remove some of the inner 'meat' from the tube. You don't want to over tighten them. I've not had an issue with them. But someone that...

    I successfully drilled out a few of my EHPro KFL+V2's. Drilled out both the air tube, and the side air inlet holes. I think I used a 5/64th drill bit, if I remember correctly (been a while). Used a drill press. I drilled them out. Blew out with compressed air, then ran 'em in the USC for a bit...

    Since I just put in a small BCF order on Thurs, I'm sure the sale will be announced shortly.

    The first time I used my table saw, I was amazed. For the first time, I was able to actually make a straight, precise cut vs using a circular saw. I hate borrowing tools too, but at this point in my life, I've become the one that loans them out it seems.

    With as many recipes as you come up with, I can imagine that the creativity well could start to dry up, for names. Some of the creative cat name credit has to go to my vet tech daughter and her coworkers at a cat clinic she worked at. Whenever someone would bring in a stray or feral that needed...

    My '03 is white. Bought it from a girl I used to work with. She named it Snow White. I told her I was renaming it Whitey Tighty. We had a red '94 Escort Wagon in the family for years. Niece bought it used, then my brother bought it from her, then I bought it, then oldest daughter drove it, then...

    I'm with you. I drive a '03 Ranger Edge. The only 'power' on it is steering & brakes. Manual crank windows, manual seats, no cruise. A/C & heat work great. Bought it used about 6 years ago (great deal). It has it's warts, but I love that little truck. If something breaks, I can work on it...

    I'm liking the CAP Shortbread. You're right about it needing a 4 week steep. Even the difference between 3 & 4 weeks was very noticeable. I'm fruit & bakery challenged. I'm a tobacco head. I got it to experiment with it, as a background / complimentary flavor in tobacco mixes. I think it may...

    Today is the end of my 4 week Shortbread steep. I've tested a few drops here & there in a little RDA that I use for testing. Have a tank fresh out of the USC that I'll try the Shortbread in. Hoping for a little wow factor.
