Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[tyleris12]

Good Morning Everyone! Going to spend the day relaxing, so I can be as rested as possible for this next week. I have to work 6am to 6 pm at least Mon. thru Thurs., so if I don't pop in much, you all will know why...lol!! I do hope everyone has a great week tho and I will try to at least post how I like my new flavors after I receive them on Monday.

Woah, more surprise snow last night! I finally got my car unstuck only to discover the power is down at my e-liquid kitchen, LOL! I'm back home and warm now and waiting for an update from PG&E. We usually have several snow storms here during the winter with power outages and stuck cars, but this is a little late in the year to have our first one! It sure looks beautiful though! Hope everyone else is staying warm and enjoying Sunday afternoon!

Haha! We were having beautiful spring weather for a while there and then suddenly everything has gone into reverse. I'm jealous of your 80 degree weather!

I hear you Annette. It's been one of the wettest March's in Nor Cal that I can remember. But we need the rain to fill up the lakes. Speaking of lakes, a few times each summer I launch my boat at Redbud Park which is off hwy 53 in the city of Clearlake (public launch closest to Cache Creek). Anyway, if you have a brick and mortar facility I might stop by to pick up some goodies after one of my fishing trips. How far are you from the lake?

Oh hi, neighbor! My e-liquid kitchen is only about 15 minutes from Clearlake! I go in to Clearlake to the post office nearly every day. I'd love to have a little brick and mortar store there some day soon! I'm guessing from your photo that you go there to go fishing? It sure is a beautiful lake and, you're right, as much as I'm hating this miserable weather, we sure do need the H2O!

Good Afternoon. Our temp went from 70 yesterday to 39 and raining. Brrrrrr.
Today was my first swimming lesson in over 40 years - lol. Only two people in my class, my older daughter and me.
Figured if I am going to keep swimming back and forth in that big pool, I better fix any bad habits I am developing.

Last night, I tried painting fingernail polish around the bottom of my new lower ohm Vision Egos, so I could tell them apart from the regulars. PU - won't try that again. They still stink of polish today.

I had thought about adding a sticker or something to the Vision EGOs as I have the same problem. I am going to get some of them in different colors soon though, which will work better! Pink, blue, purple, green, a smokey black. The colored ones are still semi-transparent so you can see when to refill but the colors will make them distinguishable...and prettier! Can't wait to have a pink one for my pink KGO!

yeah, I do a few overnighters there each summer fishing for channel cats. I also fish the big derby there each May. If you ever get a retail store I'll stop by.

@Larkfour: I use a color coding system with these stickers, it works out really well for me. I currently have more flavors than colors, but I just mark them with a sharpie & I'm good to go!

It's due to be in the 80s & sunny all week here! I'm feeling pretty much better after my cold, but I can't shake this cough & keep getting sent home for work because of it- apparently no one believes that I really do feel fine. Either that, or they think I'm still contagious a week later? The worst part for me is that I got in my sampler pack of Absolute flavors & I'm dying to try them, but I still can't vape much without coughing & I don't want to give myself any negative mental association. They smell amazing though!

Woah! I had no idea there were fish that big in the lake! Nice! If I can get a little retail store going by the next derby, I'd love it if you stopped by to say hello!

Oh, Sydlie, I hope you get all healed up soon! It sounds like colds and flus have really been going around lately, I know I've had my share! Hopefully the nice weather will help get you back to 100%! In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying some down time from work!

I use medical tape to mark my tanks. I write the flavor on the tape and it works great. I have a bunch of tanks filled and had to come up with a way to tell the difference. Here are a few of our set up we keep between our laptops. We spend all of our time at home at our computers so this set up works great and keeps everything within arms reach.

KnotGillty Those are some nice fish. I too am a avid fisherman although i mostly target bass and crappie i have been know to catch catfish from time to time. I also practice CPR. The first two pics are from this weekend, notice my VV Kgo...I also included my biggest catfish to date at 40#.

 

[Larkfour]

Nice catches!

I think I will give the medical tape a try, until I find some cute stickers/ rhinestones / sparklies.

 

[KnotGillty]

Nice flathead scooter9o9. That's one fish we don't have here in N. California. We do have lots of big bass though. If the weather cooperates, I'll be taking my teenage daughter on her first saltwater trip this weekend. The plan is to do an overnighter for sharks (Thresher & 7-gill) just outside the Golden Gate. Should be fun.

Tight lines . . .

 

[scooter9o9]

yeah yall have giant bass there, ours normally dont get that big here. Good luck i hope she gets a big one and has the time of her life.
