Evolv-ing Thread

I hate to say this, given what KTM is going through with FT, but I ordered on the 3rd, shipped on the 5th and in my mailbox today. Mine was nothing "state of the art" though, jus a bunch of FEV V4s. They're really hard to beat for a single coil, super tuff, good capacity, atomizer. You do have to like a lot of stainless steel though.

Glad your AC is back up and running, Mike. Ours has been on, non-stop, for the last five days and we're not even in VA. I usually shut it down in the early morning and get some fresh air in with a fan but the humidity has been wayyy too high.

Yeah the humidity, that's the issue. Dry heat is easier to take, when your sitting in the shade and dripping wet from sweat, that makes it hard to take. It gets so bad here sometimes that paper turns soggy, pull the mail or news paper from the mailbox and it's limp like a wet noodle. This is the time of year I have to oil my guns and tools once a week otherwise they'll rust. AC not only cools but it pulls moisture from the air, on real hot days the AC can't bring the temperature below 76-78° F but it still feels cool because it's drier.

Last year was hot as heck here! We had at least 40 day above 40 degrees Celsius.
It made me realize when it's that hot, it mite as well be winter, cause all out door activity is horribly uncomfortable. In winter you can dress for it! When it's hot as heck outside your screwed

Yeah, I hibernate in the winter to keep warm and count the days til summer comes, it's nice until mid-summer then I find myself stuck inside where it's cool until late September when it starts to cool off again. But this summer it has been cooler, thought I'd be able to get a lot more done outside this year but now it's rain, rain, rain, I can't win.

You never know with FT I have a package thats status has been left originating country for 12 days now Usually it takes 6 or 7 days from when it leaves China until it hits Canada.
I made an order at 6am this morning & it shipped today Weird thing is the item said ships in three days.
I ordered a Pharaoh when it first came out from FT, I waited 4 weeks & finally cancelled the order it was at least 2 more weeks before they shipped any Pharaohs
Like forest said FT is like a box of Chocolates

Sounds like our Summer so Far, not to hot & lots of Rain!

My last one from FT took 8 days from acceptance to delivery, had one do it in 5 days once.
A couple of months one time way back.

Happy Birthday!

And "normal" is overrated, and boring. So embrace your bear, no judgement here.......

Personally I like the warm blooded teddy bears myself, and they seldom call me "normal".......

Cheers,

I decided to take the bear out for a happy meal at Macca's for our shared birthday at Bondi Beach in Sydney yesterday. I documented the day out on our home forum, but ill only share the less troubling pics here, poor Laurie for one has already seen them and he has to put up with me in real life as well

Then he got into a weird staring match with a seagull on the beach

I guess that answers definitively any questions about "was he joking about the bear"

OH..... THAT EXPLAINS A LOT, You and Laurie are mates! Must be something in the beer down there. I know it knocked me on my .... when I had Shore Leave there. Puts our beer to shame!

Im not sure Laurie would quantify our relationship as mates lol, poor Laurie!, we know each other from our home forum and occasional vape meets, yes. Laurie is an awesome dude all jokes aside. Im sure he was hoping i wouldnt cross-pollinate this forum with my madness though

Meh, the beers alright - not a fan of VB ...the minute it gets slightly warm it tastes like cat pee . Ironically i was a fan of The Bud (i dont drink any more, but every year while i was getting there id save myself up all year and have a 6 pack of Bud at xmas), Millers Genuine and some nice Canadian gear

LoL, I'm watching and old Hepburn and Tracy movie, she say's "I'm a widow" and Spencer's side kick says, "What kind, married?" I love the bit's of whit and humor that filled in these old movies, broadville humor that made it's way into these old films. You can watch them over and over and catch so many you missed before.

for the record style, I do consider us mates, and welcome you to this thread!

I wasn't ignoring your posts, but as you know, I'm not a compulsive poster, and only post when I have something to say.....

We have bears too, through out the house. My Mom loved bears, she got my wife hooked on them many years ago after we got married. Bought my wife an old Stieff growler years ago for Christmas, she's from Germany so she appreciates the Stieff's. My Dad liked bears too but wasn't over the cliff like the women, he like the old, old bears, I have a couple of his favorites now.

I do not have Stieff money, mine is from K-Mart

I just decided i'd have the childhood i didnt have, at 45, and as it was all very much on impulse, K-Mart was where i was when the thought occurred..

Dont tell him...

 

[mikepetro]

Hey you're strange, why would anyone want to disown you? You fit right in here!

I don't ever want to go up! I think your bear is very cool, don't worry, I won't tell him. I sometimes I say Hi to my Dad's bear as I walk past, I don't see any problem, so long as he doesn't say "How's it going" back......
