Okay, @philbh . I'll PM you my address so you can "offload/store" your excess mods and tanks.

Thanks, but that definitely WON'T HELP! If I don't see all of my gear, I'll feel like I still need more.

I think if I put everything in one pile so that I can see just how crazy I am, it may slow me down. I still have a few orders out there waiting for delivery.
@Mandikay, best of luck to your new hubby tomorrow at the dentist...

The other day at work a guy was talking about getting back to vaping - he still has his gear. Made is own juice and still makes it for a couple others. His wife never did it and she was part of why he went back to smokes and he was trying to figure what to get her for gear. Went thru some of mine this weekend - pulled out the IPV Mini and took in today. Asked him if he thought she would like it - he thinks she would. When he asked me how much I wanted I told him nothing just take it - thought he was gonna fall over.

Because we're part of a vaping group like ECF, it's easy to forget that some vapers are on the fringes of the "community" (or ignorant of it altogether). They have one or two setups and they stay there, blissfully unaware of the joys (and self-recrimination--just ask @philbh ) of shiny-itis. A curse or a blessing...? However, they are often surprised by the PIF mentality.

Well we have all been trying to stay home today.. All my family has.. We live about a 12-15 minute drive from where the officers were killed yesterday, as a matter of fact my youngest is friends with and goes to school with officer Brad's son. (one of the officers that was killed) it such a sad situation and it's so sad that I feel uncomfortable bringing my kids out the house these days. I feel like I have to practically keep them locked up because it just isn't safe around here lately. Hopefully nothing else bad will happen.

Stay safe, @Mandikay! It's hard being on the fringe of these tragedies--you're not directly involved (thankfully!), but because you know one of the victims, much of the talk and grandstanding hurts just a little bit more. Just remember that much of the rhetoric and opinions posed by people in the media and online are mostly people trying to shape the narrative to fit their point of view--they forget that the dead were actually human beings that we knew and loved.

Well said, Count.
I do have a bunch of Kanger Mini Protank 2's with Evod batteries, and have given a couple to people in need. I'm certain that in the future, when it becomes hard to buy anything, I'll be helping out more people with pieces of my collection. Until recently, I only had one K-box Mini Kit, and Protank 2's & 3's, an Aerotank and a mech that I never liked. So all this stuff is new to me in more ways than one. Truth is, I haven't tried out half of what I have as of yet. Right now, I'm in survival mode.... The FDA has turned me into a monster!

Ice cream truck just went by. I am about to put the quiche into the oven so we won't eat until 8 tonight.
Skyped with friends this weekend. One's daughter went to school with one of the BR officers and knew him well. She did not say which one.
Another on the call lives in Istanbul and described how the muezzin were adding calls to action to the calls to prayer.
@Mandikay - it should go well for David tomorrow. It is amazing what kind of restorative work can be done.
Everyone stay safe and have a great evening.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by posting this but I think people should read this:

Thanks for depressing me this evening, @philbh. I can't believe that such a law passed--but then again, I shouldn't be surprised. And "they" wonder why people are unhappy these days?

Good night, Treefam!

The Movkin Disguiser is a beast...makes a Reuleaux 200 seem little. I'm actually sort of looking for another dual-battery mod to replace it with because of the size and weight. It's got a great feature set and performs well, but just not carry-friendly.

 

[angelphyre]

@Mandikay - I don't blame you, it's so crazy out there these days...you guys stay safe. Glad to hear hubby is getting that taken care of...hope all goes smoothly for him...I won one of the Disguisers a while back and it is heavy...I gave it to the bf because he really wanted it even before they came out...he loves it though....too heavy for me.

Another lazy day here...did go out for a while, didn't really win much this time, but still came out ahead, so that's good...just finishing my margarita and about to go chill for a while...it's a tough job but someone has to do it!

My gf is on her way down and then it's off to the airport bright and early, so...Good Night / G'Mornin' and Good Vibes Tree Fam!

@philbh I was supposed to get vape mail today... But tracking still shows out for delivery and delivery was 8 hours ago. I think it's riding around in a mail van. Hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow!

It's a tolerable 73 here and was a nice evening for a walk. Glad I got out. Supposed to get hot this week.

Catch y'all later

Good morning everybody! Just finished getting ready, trying to eat a little breakfast so I can take my antibiotics without getting sick :/ after that we are off to the dentist office.
I got to make sure I go to bed early tonight, I start back at work tomorrow and I'm so off schedule..
Have a great day everyone, I'll check back in later

 

[rangerrobin]

Good Mornin' / G'Night and Good Vibes Tree Fam!

@Mandikay - Best wishes for hubby at the dentist!

Woke up at 04:30. What's the 0 stand for? Oh my god, it's early!
Good Morning Vietnam reference. Couldn't find the video clip.

Time for me to hussle my gf to the airport. She's goin' to Cabo, for a little over a week, to visit her mom, who retired there 6 yrs ago.

Have a terrific day, everyone!

Good morning, everyone. I, too, am up early--but only because I got in a tussle with my bed sheets and woke up when something in my shoulder made me say, "Ouch." So I'm up early with aspirin and and a cold pack on my shoulder. Experience has taught me that by getting to it early, I should be fine.
