My AC broke while I was at work, my house is like an oven.
Well if you were in Canada you wouldn't need AC this year, it been cold as heck all summer.
Have to say I like this better than the big heat all summer last year.
Only problem is it wont Stop Raining!!

It's over 100 here, this whole area (DC) is basically carved out of a swamp, it's not a good place in the summer.

I'm not having good luck with this first one I tried, it's a vapeshark switch box that I use as my beater mod, can't even get the sled out, got my cousins apart now and everything rinsed with alchohol, drying & whatnot.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Hope you got the AC fixed as well as the photo posting problem got fixed, Mike. It was in the mid to upper 90's here, yesterday, with the heat index between 105 and 110. I decided to do some outside work, but only lasted about an hour. It wiped me out and I rarely have a problem with hot weather. Thankfully, the AC here just kept chugging along.

Been a cooler summer here in NY too which is fine with me, but I'll take a hot as hell summer anytime over winter. I LOVE summer! A couple days ago I came out of lowes, it had started to rain, there were people standing under the overhang waiting while others dashed to their cars. I took my hat and glasses off, slow walked to my car with my face to the sky and my arms stretched out enjoying the feeling of the cool summer rain. I bet they were thinking, "Look at that crazy one legged old man." (I draw looks, I only wear shorts in the summer, I don't try to hide I lost a leg, I don't care. :)

Trying to get our house painted, the painters dragged their feet, only got it half done. Now it's supposed to rain for most of the next ten days, don't know the forecast past that, I want this mess over with!

Here's a ? though, some of my dna75 board's have had their fire buttons go a bit sloppy, and this happened already to the dna75c that my cousing has been working on. Anyone else had this? Like, the on board +/- buttons still feel clicky but just not the fire button.

There's one thing I can think of that might be causing it, when vaping the other thing you generally hold the fire button down much longer, but I'm not being rough with it and the board's not getting hot or anything like that, all firing well withim limits. I think all my dna75 boards have been treated very well... Plus I use them mostly below 30 watts, for higher wattage vaping I always use one of the 250's

Check how clicky the switches feel once you have the board out and before you take them apart to clean them, may be nothing wrong with them. The larger the button on the mod the softer the click will feel, more surface area to spread the pressure, doesn't change the amount of force needed to push but makes it feel that way. That's why many target shooter use wide trigger shoes, makes your brain think the pull is lighter, and they work nicely. :)

No, it was a cool 82 in the house this morning. "Hopefully" the part will be at my local HVAC supply shop today for me to pick it up. They are calling for rain this afternoon, I can see it now, out there in the middle of the rain putting on a condenser fan blade.

Photo posting is fixed, and I do believe it is a long term fix. It is all being run off of my mikepetro.org server, so I am not having to rely on some renigging predatory company. The software is open source, and rather full featured. The good thing is that even if the software broke, the links would be perpetual as long as I dont move the storage folder.

I need to make another one of these mugs, only for Photo....et

Yet another example of the oppression experienced by left-handed people. (and no, I'm NOT a Liberal...but I do appreciate that statement's potentially satirical nature)

Sigh, that's the way it usually goes for me too Mike, story of my like. I'd come help you but with my luck you don't want to stand near me in a thunderstorm.....

Suppose to start raining at 12-1 today, once again the painters told me they would be here at 8 am to get the windows and trim scraped and once again they are not here. :-x I've been out there since 7 doing what I can to push it along. Needless to say I'm not happy. :grr: This guy put in the contract,
"Only after the Wilson's are happy with the work completed will they pay the remaining balance" He's got a longgg way to go to make me happy before he's done!

So check this out, I just found out this was a thing... I'm talking to my buddy, who used to be a roommate & he actually came to me for picking out his first setup etc. But we were talking about claptons and whatnot, I showed him the new NiFe52 one I have in my dna75 squanker, and he was mentioning that he only uses claptons now, so I'm all, "oh yeah, I noticed you are dripping now, did you start rebuilding?" he's like, yeah, basically he uses the rda's or rta's but he doesn't build the coil, he said he "gets professionals to do that". So I'm obviously curious what that means, basically he's paying somebody $20-30 per rebuild to ship him coils. To be fair they're really pretty and all bent perfectly and whatnot, (far as I could tell tell though mine were better bc they work in TC [emoji14]) they're made up of like, 4 trendy wires from all the trendy wire companies lol and he just pops them in and clamps them down.

Learn something new every day I guess, lol

$20-$30 a coil is beyond what I am willing to invest. I will acquire the skill if I value the vape quality that much.
