speaking of nature, I remember the moments when I had the time to scuba dive. I would be on the boat going out to the diving site, in movement with the water (or not sometimes ugh) on the boat and the rhythms of nature were so easy to move with. You KNEW you were a part of the universe, there was no denying it. I would be 80ft under water being moved by a current. Of course, I could move against the current, but I would use up my limited supply of oxygen and have to cut my dive short. It was far easier to just move with the current (especially a strong on) and make slight adjustments to move up/down or left/right. Nature can and will teach a person so many life lessons. And we do need moments away from the pollution of modern life to empty ourselves and regain a sense of balance and direction. I try to spend time there when I need a moment to reflect, slow down or just be still for a moment. Working in a concrete jungle doesn't make it easier either lol...

Wow. I'm shocked. Sorry man.

Lol all good. I'm crazy busy today anyway, so it gives me something to look forward to

Also, I finally got around to finishing my mirror finish on my Paps X, and it looks STUNNING! I'm so pleased with it. I can't wait to mix and match with the brushed finish when it gets here!

I'll post a pic soon . I was in my boxers only when I took the first picture and you could see me half naked from the reflection in the mod... THAT'S how polished I got it lmao... I took another pic though, so don't worry xD

Happy Independence Day to all my GP family!

I happily live each day the fullest I can and as if it will be my last. I’m plenty good with that, I've lived a more than full life and it's been a fantastic one.

Your courage and strength is inspiring, sir. You are not alone in spirit.

My places of inner peace are at the ocean or Yosemite. These places serve to remind me of just how insignificant I am. I'm not a big fan of the rain but one of the things that I do love about Pacific NW is the proximity to the mountains and the ocean.

Well said. I don't do the God thing, but the great outdoors I grew up in and spent much of my life in has always been my guide and nature my personal sanctuary.

I have survived a lot of things I shouldn't have, but I won't survive one from the '60's that has come back into my life... In July 2008 I was diagnosed with five cancers attributed to my Vietnam service. A couple of minor surgeries, then a fairly serious one they botched here meant I had to fly to San Diego on less than 24 hour notice for a major one to save my life. They really butchered me fixing it and the supposed 10 day ordeal turned into 6 1/2 weeks in the hospital there just recovering from the damage they did. I was told then I probably wouldn't survive another full year. Had I known what the ramifications were going to be, I'd have just let the cancers take me then. No one counted on me then, no one does now. That surgery changed my life forever, or I should say ended my life as I had known it completely due to the issues/handicaps they left me with. There wasn't time to do any treatments before the surgeries, chemo/radiation/drugs, and I chose not to do any of them after. And I decided I will never let them cut me again. I'm still here, I guess the devil doesn’t want me yet. As I said I've practiced MOM most of my life. It works very well for me and helps completely block the intense pain I am always in without drugs ( I have refused to take pills, use drugs, etc all of my life). After a routine 5+ year surgery follow up CT Scan a few weeks ago I finally agreed to do as a favor to my doctor radiology scheduled me for a MRI for the pancreatic cancer they still think I have. I didn't go, I don't want to know and will just let nature take its course this time. I choose to be alone, but what is left of my life is driven by a strong inner peace. I happily live each day the fullest I can and as if it will be my last. I’m plenty good with that, I've lived a more than full life and it's been a fantastic one. There’s a favored remote high mountain meadow waiting for my ashes, my son will see to it, and that keeps a smile on my face.

if you survived 4 airplane crashes, you are doing the God thing weather you know it or not. May you continually receive God's Blessing.

Funny, I was watching the footage from the jump by Felix Baumgartner when he broke the speed of sound back in 2012 and he said something that stuck with me. "Sometimes, you have to be up really high, to understand how small you really are". Not even in terms of height but just applying that same observation into everything. This world is so huge and we are but blips on the map. Live it up!
Happy 4th to everyone!

 

[Pathology]

The people in this family never cease to amaze me with their stories and experiences. I hope dearly that I will live a life as fully as some of you have

Surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, drugs, and an infinite array of curses specific terminology is what is offered as medicine care nowadays. And if we refuse their view of treatment and find a less aggressive way to be cured, that's a statistical anomaly in their books.The new trend is heredity and bad genes as a perfect excuse to alter our DNA with stem cell researches and nanotechnological drugs. They are going full speed to a dead end. I am grateful for the work of these scientists, because they accelerate a universal realisation of their absolute uselessness. They are like a man, who lost his vision after a life time of reading books, in order to invent the reading glasses for eyes tired from reading books.

You may survive and thrive, cancer is autogenous, in my opinion, its coming and going depends on one's awareness not on the treatment. Vivere parvo is a well known way of healing from any illness.
Accepting our own death is an inspired and powerful action that may permit us to choose the way and the place sometimes or delay it even for years till the perfect moment. I feel honoured for having you here and I want to thank you very much for sharing you inspirations and your life's experiences!

So quiet.. Silly little story...

If there was a security break in any of our facilities, our security company would notify us. The police would also be notified, but with a 'wait and see'. They were aware, we handled our own security. If the problem occurred in our Corporate Office, Hubby and I would go to investigate and deal with the issue. If the problem occurred any of our other facilities, we would most often dispatch an employee to handle the problem.

Our main corporate office building consisted of two floors. Hubby and I would enter and sweep the building. He went one way. Me, the other. We had it down to a science. We would always meet up at the same time, in the same place.

For a while, there was a push for hiring female police officers. That would be great, if there was an availability of qualified applicants. But, there was not. It was bad. They even hired one of our clerks, who we were happy to let go. Funny side note: She had to have her huge implants removed, to fit the vests.

On one of these alarms, one of these 'very questionable' female police officers showed up at the same time Hubby and I did. She ignored the 'wait and see'. We assured her, we could handle it. She insisted on doing the sweep with us. She went with me. I suppose, she thought I needed her protection. Funny. At the end of the sweep, Hubby and I always met up at the locker rooms down by the pool. There were front and back entrances to the locker rooms. I warned the officer, we would run into Hubby there. When Hubby threw open the back door, at the same time we opened the front door, the officer was visibly distressed, stumbled, panicked, and pulled her weapon on him. My immediate, automatic response, was to draw on her. Probably, not the smartest moment in my life. But, it was my Hubby! Crazy moment. She was a wreck. She could not wait to get out of there. All was good.

We should have denied her entrance. Lessons learned......

Wow, so much to catch up on! I am writing from my phone at a fourth of July cookout (in the pouring rain nonetheless!)....Just wanted to say happy 4th to everyone in the GP family! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Everyone here at the cookout is smoking, so I brought my V3 Lux/Heron and microstick/spheroid. My buddy Matt is a cigar smoker, so I let him try my Spheroid which has Bobas Bounty in it. (And I brought my second spheroid with GVC)...Needless to say he is hooked! He now wants to get into vaping and quit cigars! I am happy that I was able to turn a close friend on to vaping! I am in the process of showing him how I rebuild my spheroid....he's all about it!! he's also saying how impressed he is with my V3....so I hope that I can get him on board with some GP gear!!

Anyway happy 4th guys!

Isn't sharing our GP treasures grand?! Happy 4th!

Just curious for those that use Spheroid with a microstick and have found that the Spheroid get scratched. Obviously this a problem with the u-stick's tolerances so is there a way to grind out the offending high spot on the mod?

Have I said lately how much I love my X?

Yes - there is. But why bother?

Hmm, never thought about that. I just try to be super careful when screwing my spheroid into the microstick. Inevitably though, they're going to get a bit scuffed up over time....not sure how you'd modify the MS but I suppose it's possible...

Btw, I love my X too!

Cucco I'm gonna be honest, I had money on your hubs opening the door naked thinking you were alone. Lol. That would be hilarious.

 

[pmuniz10920]

I need a new atty, I'm thinking of a squape or taifun... Any other suggestions? I really like SS and glass...

Also I have enough drippers, RBA Cartos, and and still working on genesis type devices...

If the walls of that building could tell stories...

Not just us.. We had 350 employees.. A weight room.. Locker rooms with showers.. A pool..

 

[Wolfmeat]

I've not tried the Squape or Taifun but the Erlkonigin works very well and has great air flow. It has a finish similar to the Russian, but can be fitted with stainless, glass or plastic tubes.
