Those sub tanks are huge. Looks like they could hold a whole bottle of juice.

I know! :lol: I got a mini, then got a regular one. I think the mini is about the right size, about the same as a Nautilus or Atlantis (3-5ml?).

But I couldn't pass up the regular one, it came with 2 packs of coils for a bit less than just the tank sells for. :)

Tiff, dont be silly. Of course youre welcome around here.

Ungh.... Im already trying to figure out how to cram more carp into my weekend plans. Mrs E leaves with Melanie as soon as I get home. Gym tonight. Take garbage. Take Kat to school tomorrow morning for chorus rehearsal. Thinking about the gym tomorrow morning, too. Take CJ with me to a "dad-chelor" party (man's version of a baby shower where beer and poker will be present). Make sure Kat has a key to let herself in the house when she gets home. Get CJ back home and leave him with Kat so I can take the bike out and start practicing for my skills test again. And thats just Saturday. Sunday is get CJ to Sunday school. Go grocery shopping. Mrs E should meet me at the church before service. Sit through "children's mass". Get home and change clothes. Change wipers on the truck. Try to get in another practice bit on the motorcycle. Get home. Make sure Mrs E is awake and ready for work on time. Somewhere in there the kids might have to eat. Im sure I'll have to fight with Kat to do her chores. Fall asleep on the couch after the kids go to bed before Mrs E gets home.... The way this weekend looks, I might actually be looking forward to getting back to work on Monday. :blink: Sheesh.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Well must be Saturday. RT race is super rattie. Found a stove on sale at both HDP and lowes. Just need to see which one has the most reasonable insulation price. Will be my first with self cleaning oven and sealed burners.. It has a fast boil burner a low for sauces and two regular burners..Even gas stoves are getting high tech. :lol:

Work kicked my azz today. I got there and started out with 3 dogs. Then I was asked to do one more dog because the other groomer, the owners daughter, was complaining about having 3 dogs to do. So now I'm up to 4 dogs. That's good, more money in my pocket. Then a dog showed up that had an appointment for next weekend and they thought it was this weekend. We didn't turn it away. I said I'd do it. Now I'm up to 5 dogs. Then the other groomer got in a spat with her mom and was told by her mom to not come back. So I did the last remaining dog that she was supposed to do. I ran non stop all day. Luckily the dogs were mostly good to do, I made some good money today and even got $20 in tips. I was supposed to go get groceries after work but couldn't make myself do it. I ran by Publix and picked up stuff for sandwiches tonight. I'll go to the grocery store tomorrow morning.

Yesterday Morgan told me that she wants to go hiking and camping with hubby. I told her to talk to her dad about it but that I was sure he would be willing to take her at some point. That was all I heard about it last night. Well, I woke up at about 11 and went to get my inhaler out of my purse but it wasn't there. Morgan sometimes uses mine instead of hers but she said she hadn't seen it. So I am frantically looking for it because one, I needed it, and two, those things aren't cheap. I ended up in Morgan's room looking and there was one of her backpacks sitting on the floor next to the door. Curious about what she had in there I looked. First I found my inhaler. Second I found clothes, blanket, peanut butter, and tuna. :blink: I asked her about it this morning and she said she wanted to be packed and ready for camping. :laugh:

While going through Morgan's phone earlier I found a selfie of her that she took late last night. She was holding something in her hand. Upon closer inspection I realized it was on of my pv's. She must have taken it when I fell asleep last night along with her phone that she isn't supposed to use. I asked her if that is what it was and she dropped her head and wouldn't answer, which translates in a big yes. She is in sooooo much trouble between her misusing her phone, again, and the vaping. Hubby just did a factory reset on her phone, wiped all pics, contacts, apps, everything. As of now, she will not have a phone for a very long extended period of time. Teenagers suck.

Whooooo boy... I cant ride a motorcycle slowly!!! I set up the offset cone weave according to the SCDMV website using some crushed soda cans. After nearly an hour of trying it, I finally managed three straight runs without hitting a can. :facepalm: Hopefully, I can find a little bit of time tomorrow to practice again. I need it. LOTS of it. Badly. I am pretty sure I can get the hang of it with enough seat time.

The Dad-chelor party was actually pretty good. I lost spectacularly at poker. Every good hand I had, I was beaten by the smallest difference. I would have a full house, someone else would have a higher one. I had a straight, someone had a higher one. It was NUTS!!! Still, we had a good time.

Well, dinner is done... Time to whoop up on some kids to get chores done and get them in bed. Got another early(ish) day tomorrow. Ungh. "relaxing weekend" my patootie.

Aside from the vaping, that sounds very similar to what we went through with Kat. Thankfully (I guess), she broke her screen so bad its inoperable. Good luck!

New stove ordered. Delivery on the 21st. Then the fun begins. It will need converted to lp gas. The new gas co. hasent delivered or set up my new tank yet. But have been payed to do so in March.:lol::lol: Thinking I'll have them do the conversion on the stove while their at it. I'm shure I could do it cheaper but I dont have the time.

We have a thread over there yet, I think. Let me know if it's closed, I'll open it if we need it.

Busy day at the hut. I've been on the hunt for the floor tiles that I need. I found out they are discontinued, and I need 30. *screams* I do NOT want to tear out 850 sq ft of tile and replace it all. *sobs*

Why in the world is the forum changing? Gone for a day and I miss everything. ugh.
