Hey Roscoe !!!!!!!!!!

Some days you win....some days you lose...Today I won and lost....

First the win....After ranting about my cousin and his lights I went to the shop for my test light....Planned to go check those lights out....All that ramp/compressor room/associated retaining wall work....well I placed an adarondak chair across the drive sos I could rest and get an eye for the project....namely where the wall needed more rocks...This morning there was a Copperhead lying between the ramp and chair...had Spike been with me or had I not seen the snake things coulda been bad...I sent him on to snake heaven...one less Copperhead is a win....

So old cousin got tired of waiting and left....I ran by the store for a cold beverage and there he sat...boat with no lights in tow and headed for Myrtle Beach...Trust that's about as foolish as it gets....not to mention uncaring for others on the road....I did take opportunity and busted his balls about the lights and his last minute begging...Hey they weren't burning yesterday either....I hope the proper authorities throw the book at him and told him so...he's mad....I don't care....So I went to the junkyard and did some work....

Back home at 5:30....Cool and windy....It had rained so the dust was down...I let Spike out...If I could cram a grass cutting into this day it would be good...Spike loves to sit in the trucks so I let him in the Ranger and starting cutting like my azz was on fire...One trip around I notice the ranger moving as I approach....it's speeding up....I fly behind it thinking I'll jump off and stop it....It was flying by this time and I damn near couldn't get out of the way...@70 feet downhill backwards into a pine tree...dang tailgate won't even open...I had a ringside seat....Spike is OK...I'll add the freekin truck to the list....In my haste to cut grass I left it out of gear...

Oh no ElDee!!! Trees and trucks are not a pretty combo, but I do know you'll have it good as new in no time, and I'm glad Spike is ok.
As for the copperhead (?) I've always said the only good snake is a dead one!

Wharf, I suppose the nickel coils would be the most inexpensive way for me to go since I already have a ksm. Hmmmm.
Are you hearing good things about the Triton or the Herakles (sp?) by any chance? TIA

Hey El Dee!

After reading this. I can see that there ain't much that has changed around here.

Glad all survived. Now on to the next adventure my friend..

Morning folks :)

Dee I saw that copperhead pic on your FB...one thing we don't worry too much about up here. I can handle a lot of things, snakes ain't one of them!

You're gonna have to give Spike some driving lessons. I admit I chuckled at the story, but I'm sorry it made you sheet your drawers!

I gotta do that today too Rosco. I saw Katie has made a big ole shopping list for me to fetch. You are way behind on life with Katie, she doesn't drive anymore...which is a good thing, but creates more trips to the store for me when she gets a craving for something.

Yepp...My dang truck is jacked up......

Normally I let snakes be...unless it's a Copperhead....Pit Viper....highly venomous....very mean.....will not run from a threat....A Black or any other snake would have skeedaddled yesterday...I saw the effect when Mom was struck @ 1990...My pit B.B. learned her lesson after the first bite....Chopper on the other hand built some immunity to the venom...He would pin them with his paws....get a good bite and rip them straight up...Copperheads are the main reason I keep the woods as clear as possible...Clearing has had a positive effect and this is the first Copperhead I've seen in a couple of years...

I was foaming at the mouth to get a Triton....I really like the top fill....Reports of leaks so I decided to let others lead the charge this time...Now that it's out I've not checked into it to see if the leaks have been resolved....

I've heard very little about either but positive of what I have heard.

Other than 2 high end RBA's it's been the Atlantis and KSM for me (and about 30 seconds with the Goblin). I started with the Atlantis and it was my go to. Then jumped on the KSM with you all but kept going back to the Atlantis. When I got the nickel heads for the KSM, that's all I used. When the nickel came out for the Atlantis I bought a pack and that lasted about a day. I have 4 heads still in the pack.

I'm still happy as a clam with my KSM's rba *shrugs*

Yep Moon, I rolled back to 7. I will not do without sound, or limp on 2 channel when I have a 5.1 speaker system set up. I could have bought a new sound card, but rolling back was cheaper. New pair of glasses and Chase's distemper/kennel cough shots, or new sound card...the choice was clear ;)

I have found i can't do the sub-ohm for long. I'll use it for a while and switch back to my nautilus with 1.8

Any references for good place to get some juice. I need to order some and haven't had much luck with the B&M's lately. I like sweet and fruity flavors.

Just looking in steal and deals saw Vape Wild and Breezy are running sales. Anyone have any experience with either of them?
