Northern Nevada, astride the "49er trail
Someone requested to pay to design a pcb and i did it to him for free.
Anyway. Here is a video of what i was doing today.


I don't know what a PCB is but a thank you and maybe a cold beer is always a nice thing.

Who's squawking in the background?

I haven't got a clue what you are doing there but it looks very techy and impressive:)

So much variety in horse shows. This is great to see. I did notice the way they hold their head and tail up high, also the tail hair is so long! I never saw horses with such long tail hair before... like dragging on the ground long. Amazing!

The horses have their tails kept in tail sets to train them up so high, and the long hair is probably artificial hair added to the real tail. What's a tail set? you ask. Here's a video of how to take one off and put it back on. Trainer's Tip 15 - YouTube They wear this contraption all the time when they are in their stall -- no turnout for this type of horse -- and then when they are in a show, they hold their tails up high. I don't approve of this kind of horse keeping. No wonder Saddlebreds have such benign personalities. They need to take things in stride if they are kept like this. I don't mean to get controversial here, and maybe I just don't understand it, but it seems cruel to me to have a horse wearing a contraption like this on his time off.

In Italy, at least when I lived there, it was commonplace to see children carrying big jugs of wine home from the local market. If they could carry it, they can buy it. Italians always have wine with their meals, but not to the extent of getting drunk. And if they caught you drunk while driving, they throw you in jail for a long time because they think something is wrong with you mentally to drive drunk.

Sitting down, facing forward.

So which batteries are you testing and how are they doing? I see there are now 3400mah lithium/cobalt batteries in 18650 form factor. I have to wonder if they really meet that level of output current, how they do under a heavy discharge rate and survive a reasonable number of recharges. I, for one, appreciate the effort you're putting into battery testing in that unending quest for the "prefect" vaping battery.

I didn't see this.
I do not drink alcohol especially beer. Maybe red bull's :) You know in countries where alcohol is available easy people don't drink too much.

Actually people drink more in Greece than in the US, if these statistics can be believed. List of countries by alcohol consumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I heard somewhere that alcohol consumption was higher in Russia and those northern countries because the winters are long, cold, and dark. Is that true? Then what's Portugal doing up near the top? Well, make of it what you will. Obviously, Moslem countries are low on the list because devout Moslems don't drink alcohol.

I think they brush their teeth with vodka. They are heavy drinkers, for sure! I'm sure it's the long cold winters because a lot of Alaskans are heavy drinkers as well.

50 degrees here on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, a little rainey, but the daffodils are coming out and it appears Spring may come early, however we have been known to have the worst snow storms of the season in March. Lets hope NOT this year.

Debra, It is hard to believe you vape 10 Ml per day. Remember All Things In Moderation girl, no matter how much you love to bend bannanas. :laugh:
wasn't there a post from a certain bunny watching a ball game...who claimed to vape away 10mls..mmmmm!!!!:confused::p:)

Have to take issue with this, Wabbit, and defend Debra.....I don't think 10 ml a day is alot...I vape at least 7...and that's in a work day when I'm not constantly vaping. On a weekend day at home at my computer I could do 10 easy. Besides, maybe its just me, but since I've been adding more VG to my vape, it seems like the higher VG liquids vape up faster than when I was vaping the high PG ones from SI. Does it seem that way to anyone else....or is it just me?

Also....had to share. Saw this on another thread. I don't care if you like the guy or not....I totally agree with him (and had to post in the thread and say so, too)

Man oh man, Debra....I'm coming to your house to hang with you! :laugh: I got a sweet tooth, too. Since I've found the sweet, I don't even vape (or miss) the tobacco flavors anymore. I just got new flavors and made small batches of Strawberry & Sweet Cream, Butterscotch (I vape that at about 2-3 mg nic at night before bed...it's my nightcap!) and a small bottle of Cappuccino & Sweet Cream. The Cappuccino is steeping....looks a little scary....really dark. I think I'm going to have to mix some more Sweet Cream, or maybe even some Ice Cream in there. Might be too strong....we'll see. :ohmy:
sweet :banana:Dw....if your ever here in OZ...be sure to come and hang out...sweet tooth heaven....I think you might be right..with the vg....when I started on si...juice...vanilla +ry4...bottles did seem to last longer...but after a few mths...I had reaction if to much pg...then if it was to much vg....took awhile to work out...carts fillers...to much pg or vg...were to blame..so 50/50 as a rule...or 60/40 at the most...

Wow Deb, that's a lot in one day! No wonder you don't want the mini T3's that SI will be carrying. Hope you vape very low dose nic. Don't want you to OD.

Yes, I'm getting ready. I could probably ride now, except that the weather is so iffy and the ground is often frozen, which isn't good for Penny's feet. I do have boots to use when the ground is hard, and they do soften the concussion some. I use them in summer when the ground gets dry and hard, and they do help, but in winter, I think the ground is really hard, and it's often frozen in lumps, too. So I'll wait. My biggest concern is if I can lift her saddle onto her back. I just have to get that right arm stronger. My range of motion would probably be OK for it, but I just can't raise my arm that high on its own, much less holding a saddle. I was thinking that with Penny's lameness and my arm, we are quite a pair!

So reminiscing about the good old days when I was fit and Penny wasn't lame, here's another picture of us, less formal than the other, since we were just cantering in the ring at home.

I'd love to see pictures! Let's hope Hubby is amenable.

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments to Penny. When I first got her, you wouldn't have said she was beautiful. You could see the beauty underneath if you looked closely, but she was horribly thin and had a ragged winter coat. And until I took her to the farrier at Cornell, her clubfoot was horribly misshapen. I fell in love with her personality, though, and she was sound, which amazed the vet who did the prepurchase exam. The vet advised me not to get her because of the clubfoot, but since she was sound, I thought if there was nothing else wrong with her that some groceries wouldn't fix, then I'd take a chance on her. And I'm glad I did. That vet has seen Penny since and shakes her head in wonder that she lasted so long and turned out so well.

I can relate to this sandy....as with alice....nothing like good old TLC......and a few $s........of course..........helps;)

Actually, it's an Australian duster. I thought maybe Debra would recognize it. See http://www.walkabout.com/shop/coat-dz-dxduster.asp I loved that coat! It was warm enough for the coldest winter days with layers underneath, and in the rain it was perfect. The flaps covered my legs, which isn't the case with all riding coats. Of course, it smelled like sheep, since it was conditioned with some sort of sheep grease, but at a barn, who cares about that? I wore that thing out, and even then, I wore it for a while before one day tossing it with tears in my eyes. I have another one now, but it's just not the same. I get attached to certain clothing as if they were old friends.
aussie duster hey....sorry sandy...I wouldn't know coats from coats..i don't own any coats...ive never been that cold...to own one....only light jackets for me....even thou all my friends think im a freak...there all rugged up...in winter....im not wearing much.....im sure I was born in the wrong place....:unsure:

I wish we didn't need to bundle up here, but then again, I don't think I could stand your summers. I'd rather be too cold than too hot.

Here's some music for you to enjoy this evening. MINUET BIZET

This is another piece my computer game, MahJong Solitaire, plays. Then back in 2005, I went to see the Spanish Riding School Lipizzans perform when they toured the US. Lo and behold, they played this same piece for the quadrille, and I recognized it because of my computer game.
