Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

[SandySu]

This morning, it's pouring rain, but we had the riding lesson anyway, though there was no riding. The girl came to the barn, we groomed Penny a little, she learned how to lift Penny's feet and clean them out, how to put the saddle and bridle on and take them off, how to put the halter on and off, and how to lead a horse. I gave her an old riding helmet, since it doesn't have much time left. You are supposed to replace them after 5 or 6 years because the shock-absorbing materials inside deteriorate, and this one is about 5 years old. But it'll tide her over till they can buy her a helmet.

The tutoring canceled, so I have the rest of the day free.

Uh! Lizzie? What are those? Pumpkins? They look like hand grenades! There are a lot of them can you freeze them too?

Roland i am no way old at this thing, i knew they existed but i never tried them and now i won't go back. The other crappy multiblade stuff is simply too expensive and they actually use crappy steel (since you have 4-5 blades) and the trick is that they don't have to sharpen them as Double edge razors because the blades are many and they go deep by pressing the skin. They do damage on hairs if you search on microscopic pictures you will find details.

Sandy helmets are important everywhere, one very good friend of my boss was riding on a mountain, he fell and hit his head, a lot of blood etc. Was hospitalized for 3-4 days for safety reasons. Since then i never seen my boss or his friends without a helmet, he even bought one new for me even if i don't ride so often. Sometimes it can get you in the most weird places like me today.

btw my ankle started to hurt a lot hut i was expecting that, maybe i'll bite a voltaren pill lol.

I went to the mountains near us for mushrooms but there were not many since we had a lot of sun these days. Monday we expect a lot of rain so they will start to pop up again.

 

[Renolizzie]

They are winter squash and they keep without freezing for 4 months or so. If you store them properly in a cool place that doesn't freeze.

I have a helmet for driving the mini horses.

 

[Renolizzie]

Too bad about the rain, SandySu but it sound like the lesson on horse handling was a good idea anyway.

 

[awsum140]

That's a heck of a wagon load, Lizzie! Our tomatoes have been coming in fast and furious but are rapidly reaching the end. Looks like we'll be canning for the next two days. Next year I am doing cauliflower and broccoli.

Tritium, I built a CE3 without the cup and it works fine, no leaks at all. The air flow is no different so I may just keep doing it that way. Another advantage of the coil being up at the wick holes is that when they lose output, they can be de-wicked, dry burned and easily re-wicked. I just did one that way today, 15 gauge needle coil, and it works fine. 17 gauge seems to work better since that diameter uses just the right amount of wick and save fussing with the wick tails to get it just right.

 

[Tritium]

17 gauge is the diameter of the wire?
You use straight wire without welding 0 res wire?

 

[awsum140]

No, no, LOL! I wrap the coil, 34 gauge, on a 17 gauge needle, compress the wraps close together and wick with cellulose. From what I can tell from testing so far, I'm getting 25 to 30ml through them before they need a rebuild. Not bad for a device the size of a CE3.

I've been testing a total of six, three pairs of variations in the builds. I didn't have time to refill them yesterday and ended up using a "stock" CE3 this morning. What a difference! It was like vaping old socks by comparison. Cellulose has spoiled me completely.

 

[SandySu]

Another early good night.

[Tritium]

Hey Uncle!
Voted!

Good morning everyone.

There is a hamfest today near by. Maybe go there and check?

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Good morning Trit. How are you feeling?

 

[Tritium]

Hey Wuzz. Woke up like a trainwreck lol but now i feel good. Went to the stable (garden is next to it) and took some fresh basil. Went to the workshop and i made a piece or iron to screw it on the base of the new exhaust, it has a base attached to it that holds the rear mudguard. The new exhaust didn't had that and i hate to leave the mudguard attached on one place only, most people leave it that way but i don't.
I cutted peppers for food and i rubbed my eyes after 30 min, was burning a lot LOL whenever i had my eyes open it burned more so i closed them and was bumping my way on the walls to the bathroom screaming like a little girl hahahaha.

How are you? The day starts now for you all

Ow on the peppers. Been there. Also a problem with another part of your anatomy if you don't wash well lol. Glad you're not seriously injured from the spill. I'm doing well thank you. Just got through with a big breakfast and getting ready for Church. Y'all have a bodacious day.

 

[celticluvr]

Ugh... am I awake yet? Nope! I had to get up at 7:45 to let in the woman giving Gramma her shots, weighed Gramma, fed the cats, fed the dog, fed Gramma, and gave her her meds. Jeez can I go back to bed yet? Lol
Next is dealing with her potty chair, later is lunch, and the waiting on the nurse to come back in the evening for shots. Then gotta cook supper and give Gramma her night meds. And all between is making sure mom's house stays clean, taking out the dog, fetching things for Gramma. Thankfully her caregiver is going to be here on Monday. She works weekdays and I am here mainly for overnight and on the weekend.

Gramma doesn't go to bed till 11 and I stay awake with her. She wakes up at 7... or earlier and turns the tv on loud! wakes me up... hence the 'ugh'.

 

[Renolizzie]

Good morning, Voltpeeps.

I was wondering how you were doing with Gramma.

Trit, glad you aren't too banged up.

Terry, hope you are feeling okay. I know paperwork and such for getting a house is awful. Hope you are almost there on all of that.

SandySu- Great photos. Seems like Penny is doing well at her new stable.

Hubby wants to go cut some junipers down for someone. He also needs to help a neighbor fix her lawn tractor. The garden is officially wrapping up although we still have tomatoes and summer squash available for picking.

 

[Tritium]

What's a Juniper? I think we don't have them here!
Celtic well.... older people need care too, but a lot ot patience is needed

Brother came in with 5 liters of local olive oil and new cherry tomatos, eggplants etc. Hehe!
Clouds came in, a few drops only but it will rain tomorrow and the day after, temps will drop for a few days at 20C (68F)

I wish you all a great Sunday

I've been on a forums break lately because this past week has been such a nightmare. Everyday more bad news...more paperwork to sign, more unexpected out of pocket money to be paid, a ridiculous 2 hr class to take (insert finger here), 2nd appraisal (insert finger here), possibly a 2nd Home Inspection (insert finger here) and it goes on and on. My loan is stalled at the moment. These people are draining every ounce of blood out of me. I'm self medicating so I can sleep through this ordeal but that's not working very well. I have more alcohol in my veins than blood these days. The lender has all my blood plus my whole life's savings. If this falls through I won't be able to try again. Now because of all these delays, I've missed the leaves turning and it's snowing in the mt passes. All my stuff has been packed for weeks so I have nothing to do so I try to sleep.

So here's the situation. I went from this:

To this:

To this:

To this and this is where I am now:

Sorry to be a debby downer but you guys deserve to know and lizzie asked. Bet you're sorry now lizzie.

I'm going back to my forums break and won't be back until I have some good news or if the deal falls through.

 

[3mg Meniere]

Not that I like seeing where you are at with this, but at least you are able to vent.

 

[Tritium]

Terry! I know it's frustrating but you have to have patience.
We are all here for you, and when you feel so down just come back to us.
If you need to beat someone up Roland, Wuzz and Jerry are closer to you so you can gang up and beat someone up if you need to (no need to have a reason too )LOL.
Don't worry about the things you missed, think of all the new things you are going to experience on the new home.
