CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[SandySu]

I'm a New Englander, I'm not going anywhere. I explained that earlier.

No sea adventures on your pirate ship?

 

[JerryRM]

Hi SandySu. Nope, the pirate ship can sail without me, I'm staying put. LOL

VAMO V4 is now officially being sold - Currently only in the United Kingdom?

I was browsing as usual and came across a discussion on Facebook about the Vamo version 4. It is basically the V2 with the V3 Chip. It comes in the usual finishes Chrome-Black Chrome-and Stainless. There is one person who mods the Chrome or Black Chrome versions by removing the finish down to bare brass and then seals the finish. It looks beautiful in the polished brass, just like GOLD.

Anyway I just thought I would keep everyone up to the minute on what is going on in the mod world, which changes almost every day. Spend on folks and keep the Chinese economy afloat.

Venison for dinner? Oh Deer!

 

[Amethyst_Star]

Good morning, everyone!

How pretty! Yes, I think they are cherry blossoms.

Wow! I actually got it right! Glad you liked it! It made me think of you!

Coffee is on!!!!

Let's see.

SandySu love the sunflower

Jerry - Nice to see you here.

Wabbit - Como esta? Fun that you are learning a new language.

Raven - Yeah, so glad to here you and the doctor didn't have to duke it out over meds and that you are doing good and don't have to see the doctor again for six months.

Tina Puppy and kitty are cute. Cherry blossoms look pretty

Q, Nuke, Wuzz, Zero, FlowerSoul , Catlady, JoAnee, the list goes on - Good morning to you all.

I am wiped out from yesterday but I think I will do my best to get the rest of the grasses switched around to new spots. I am thinking maybe the new improved island could use some pretty green tall grasses. That would be 6 clumps out of the back and moved somewhere else.

Thanks, Lizzie! Wow! Are you taking a day off, anytime soon?!? You amaze me every day with your posts!

Hey Lizzie, you might want to keep an eye on your goats - 16 Goats In A Tree - YouTube

Again, I go to bed after finding that no one was posting, and lo and behold, everyone gets on line at 11:00 PM and chats. Then you all are up early and chatting again. When you are an old wabbit, you go to bed early and get up as late as possible.

Lizzie, my attempt to "re-learn" Spanish is an attempt to finally "master" something that I have been meaning to do over many years. I spent time in Puerto Rico in the 60s working with a division of the Peace Corps while attending college and was actually able to get along fine with the locals. That was 48 years ago and I have forgotten much of the intricacies of the language through lack of practice. As you all know we have over 13,000,000 Hispanics desiring to become citizens just like the wave of European immigrants during the 1800s and early 1900s. In my area we have many Hispanic families all hard working people. I love the culture and beauty of the romance languages and just want to be able to communicate on their level with them.

Not much again going on in Wonderland today, catch up with you all later, have a great day citizens of Voltville.

Wabbit

What does a clock do when it is hungry? ------ It goes back for seconds.

I suffer from insomnia, so I'm here quite a bit. Oh wait, you already know that by my frequent postings. Even when no one is in here!

Good morning, ladies and gents. Wabbit, my cousin joined the navy and he ended up manning a .30 cal on a gunboat in the Mekong.

Good morning, Jerry! My daddy was in the Navy when he was in Vietnam. I found a bunch of photos of him in boot camp and on the ship. It was really cool. I made a picture of him and the ship he was on many years ago. I believe they've either sold the ship to another country or scrapped it, though.

Hi gang! It's time for me to check in, even though I don't have any interesting stories to tell. I'm still struggling to keep up with the mowing using the tiny little push mower, and the daily rainstorms are not much help at all! Mr. Q has replaced several parts on the rider but still it just will not run! I'm waiting for the parts guy to tell him to just buy a new rider, always better when it doesn't come from me. In the meantime, I might have to invest in a machete, or borrow those tree goats, lol.

Glad you got a good report from your doc Rave, and no extra medication, that is wonderful! I'm glad you've been able to get out there in your beloved woods and enjoy yourself.

Lizzie, I love the pictures and descriptions of all your improvements to your place, everything looks so nice!

Awsum, How is the solar water heater installation going?

Where did our Debra go again? And Holly??

Waves to the rest of the gang, JoAnn, Tail, Tina, Sandy, Cindy, Catlady, 0mg, Flower, Nuke, Uncle, Wabbit, Tritium, Wuzzn't, Jerry.....I know I am missing a few....don't like to leave anyone out, names will hit me later on, I'm sure.

Sorry, I have no machete for you to borrow, QRXT! I hope the lawnmower gets fixed soon or that you get a new one! Those push ones are hard enough to use without all the rain to make the grass grow!

I'm a New Englander, I'm not going anywhere. I explained that earlier.

I'm in the Great Lakes region and I'm staying put. Unless we're able to move out East, someday!

Well, I hope everyone is having a good day. Mine started out pretty good. Went to Walmart on a shopping trip and got some necessites and some not so necessary things. We got home and hubby got a call from the Manager that interviewed him. No promotion for him. He's really upset, because they take advantage of him so often and he's a good employee. Only takes time off when he has to, like when I had my surgery. So sad. She did tell him not to give up hope and keep applying for management positions. I don't know if he will even try anymore, though. He's been passed over so many times. I told him to call the manager above his store manager, but he's not sure what to say until he knows who they've decided on. Many times they promote people that don't know but one area in the store, while he knows everything but cashier.

Anyway, I'm just wandering the internet while waiting for some vape mail. Someone is parked in front of our mailbox, though. When that happens the mail person usually drives past us. *sigh*

TTYL and have a great day!

Why bother? Just don't taste the water. Someday I am going to buy an oceanside cottage in Wisconsin.

 

[Renolizzie]

Look at what was hiding behind all those grass clumps I moved

 

[Renolizzie]

I wouldn't make a good pirate, Jerry. I get seasick

I still have to go pick veggies for tonight's dinner. Arrgghh!!!! Someone save me. Of course, the fresh food tastes great.

 

[SandySu]

Tina, that's a neat picture of your dad and his ship. I love old photos like that.

Here's a photo of cherry blossoms I took a few years ago. It's a neighbor's cherry tree. She was thinking of getting rid of it, and I begged her not to. It's still there.



Lizzie, are those flowers irises? It's sort of hard to see details in those little photos. Moving the grass uncovered the dog? Your island in the drive looks great!

Oh goodness, no! The rock river is terrible around here! I don't even know anyone that eats the fist that they catch in it! ;laugh: A cottage would be nice, Meniere! Can we move in?

Thanks, SandySu! Those cherry blossems are beautiful! @ uncovering Lizzie's dog!

Looks like things are progressing well, Lizzie! Keep up the good work!

I understand this completely!

Wow Lizzie! That is just gorgeous!! You've made so much progress. You're amazing. Just sayin'.

Love the photo of your Dad, Tina! But, I'm sorry that The Hubs didn't get his promotion. That stinks.

Hope whoever parked in front of your mailbox moves. No one must interfere with the delivery of vapemail!!!

 

[JoAnnW]

Hello everyone! Not much to report on this end, I've just been a little down lately.

Lizzie, you are making excellent progress. All of your hard work is really paying off. I'm sure that makes you feel good at the end of each day.

Sorry your hubby didn't get that promotion Tina. I'm sure something else better will come his way soon.

I agree with you Rave... I'm so loving my vamo too even in the 18650 mode. It's really getting a workout. I have the stainless but that black chrome really catches my eye. It's absolutely gorgeous! I just may pay fast tech another visit very soon.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day.

 

[awsum140]

The black chrome Vamo has a problem with the finish wearing off from use, just sayin.

Thanks, Rave! It sucks, but life does go on! I hope they move, too! I just got my fishing tackle box for my vape supplies, so I'm going to check it out in a few! That came from UPS and they have to get out of their trucks anyway!

Hi JoAnn! Sorry you've been feeling down. I'm feeling it, today! I think a lot of it's from not getting much sleep. Hope you feel better soon! BTW, thank you! I sure hope something better does come his way. He's pretty down about, but he is talking on XBOX Live with a co-worker and is playing his video game. At least it's something to distract him from it.

I've heard that, awsum. My hubby has one, but he wanted a wrap with flames for it. I just ordered him one for his Vamo V2 and one for my iTaste MVP. Mine will be pink and purple with a butterfly on it!

I'm freezing, so I'm off to find a sweatshirt before I see if I can transfer our vaping stuff into this tackle box. It looks smaller than I was thinking it would be.

Later, everyone, and have a great day!

 

[Tail11]

Good afternoon volties! I'm finally up and running on my main home computer in my newly renovated office! I had a rats nest of wires and finally got it to look somewhat better and got everything up and running again.

JoAnn, I hope you're feeling better my friend! Sending good vibes!

Awsum, thanks for the dremel advice. It helped me out on my flooring project. And I did buy a full face shield to use especially when cutting metal! What a cool little tool!

Today is domestic chores. I had to get the wash started and now I have to clean the house. I organized most of the garage yesterday after making a huge dump run. Thankfully, a young man at the dump helped me to unload the uhaul I rented. My fingers are sore and swollen from all of this labor I've been doing! Just a little more in the garage after the house chores and I should be completely done, in time to enjoy the weekend.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I still have to go pick veggies for tonight's dinner. Arrgghh!!!! Someone save me. Of course, the fresh food tastes great.

What happened to your usual up and early to do gardening when the temp is tolerable?

Oh goodness, no! The rock river is terrible around here! I don't even know anyone that eats the fist that they catch in it! ;laugh: A cottage would be nice, Meniere! Can we move in?

I gotta story for you. A long time ago, and right in our general neighborhood, the Sac & Fox moved from around Quebec to Wisconsin. They were trying to get away from those awful Frenchies. They encountered a tribe living on the Fox River. That tribe called themselves the Ho-Chunk, or '"big voice people." However, the Sac & Fox called them the Winnebago, or "stinky river people."

After a war for territory, the Sac & Fox (actually two related tribes who merged when one lost most of its people to disease) moved south to the rapids on the Rock River. The fishing is apparently better wherever there are rapids. When the white man wanted the area around the Rock River, a chief by the name of Black Hawk got mad. He later wrote a book about it, which is a classic in Native American history.

Another chief, by the name of Keokuk, refused to participate in Black Hawk's war, and he and his people moved down the Mississippi River to the rapids where the Des Moines river emptied into the Mississippi. There, they were granted a reservation. When that reservation was dissolved, there was a minor war over their lands and some other issues. Eventually, however, most of them also they got moved west, to Kansas.

Of course, the Ho-Chunk were also removed, but returned home, were moved, and returned home, but that is another story.

Oh, yeah, if I get a summer cottage on Lake Michigan, you certainly can use it.

Sorry your hubby didn't get that promotion Tina. I'm sure something else better will come his way soon.

Like a position as cashier? A wide range of skills makes the best management person.

I got the package. Thanks. Now for the driptip mod.

 

[Flowersoul]

Not much going on in my world, but enough to keep me content.

Was in the garden bright and early this morning to get major pruning done. The rains last week resulted in a flourishing garden that took off and spilled all of its glory.

The sun was getting mighty hot around 10ish, so had to come in to take a long break. I never feel so peaceful as when I'm in my lanai garden with my hands in the soil......it smells so fresh and clean.

There's a tropical storm in the Caribbean that may or may not be a threat to Florida, so we're keeping an eye out.....(no pun intended).

 

[JoAnnW]

The black chrome Vamo has a problem with the finish wearing off from use, just sayin.

I know, but it's just sooo NICE! Since it wouldn't be used constantly, it might hold up for a while... then I could get a wrap if I don't like that worn out look. Maybe the finish on the V3 is better... I hope. Without those rhinestones that is.

 

[White Rabbit]

Hey, everybody seems to be having a busy day and Wabbit got Vape Mail from Wizard Labs and noticed that his little Vaping Box was just crammed packed full, so I had to make an insert to organize my "stuff". As you can see, I am all ready to DIY again with some organization so I can see the labels on my flavors.

When it is all packed in neatly, it sure does not look like much, but I think I have 85% of WL flavors now, even though I don't use most of them, I can try different recipes if I see them on line.
