Trust the # of girlfriends to share time with The Evel One would likely make Gene Simmons blush....I'm listing my relationship status as "complicated"....very complicated

Crown 3s are out...out of stock!!! Actually I can get my hands on anything but the Matte Black...Guess what color I was intending on purchasing.....coils tho....unobtanium...I got time

The more I do for Mom the more needs done...She's got about 10 trees picked out too cut down....Some even on the neighbors land....let's not even get started on that one....Finally got all the pieces to get the Cub mower ready for the summer...31 years young now and still one Hell of a mower....Gotta get that done and prepare to get that timing belt in the Tacoma....Never ending list of sheet to fix around here....

For the most part of 2017 thanks of been a bit crazy with the Wharf family... Little Wharf had her wisdom teeth removed and put her down almost a month with complications and infections.

Mrs Wharf's School district decided to take her and her kids out of their functional skills classroom and put them in a Gen Ed classroom. There's no sinks, ovens, or washing machine for kids to learn. Needless to say she was pretty stressed from the news.

I've been juggling two women and the RW...

The good news is things have settled down and the Little Wharf came home for Easter and leaving tomorrow. We had a great weekend.... All is good again and I know sometimes Poo happens


Mark I'm sorry I haven't responded before now but I've been using the Rayon since it arrived and enjoyed the col al abarg?

Hey Dee, or anybody else. I saw a FB add that looks pretty good to me, then again my cell bill is $213 though the company pays $93 of it..... Mint SIM

Good morning,folks

Lost Vape Drone BF Squonk DNA 167 Box Mod | Vaping Devices

Here's hoping everything goes well in the Wharf household for a good while....I'm about fed up with building character myself....

That's a nice squonker above....I'm on the fence with rebuildables though and really don't service my Kays as I should...so....Dang old sunglasses went down so last week I slipped into my buddies tackle store at the beach....Rolling with Costa Tuna Alley with the blue glass lenses...I gotta deal with so much sheet on a daily I at least wanna be able to see clearly.....Also in the lead on a vintage HD Ace of Spades belt buckle from the 90s...bid goes off at 6pm and I swear I ain't losing this time...unless I lose so.....Been deciding on a new rod/reel combo for weeks....I usually roll with vintage rod and reels but moving into the 21st century this time...Sheet ain't cheap and reel is offered with a Abu Garcia hoodie....So yeah an Abu reel combined with a St. Croix rod...Those fish will never know what hit "em.....

Dee, complicated is something I just don't care to do anymore, so I don't blame you for staying complication free. I'm coming up on the 3rd anniversary of my divorce and have dated no one in that time. Yeah...complications...no!

Wow Wharf! That's a lot of stuff for you and family! Glad to hear Little Wharf is finally better. Not so happy for Mrs. Wharf and her students.

My lost vape Therion DNA75 has become a paper weight The fire button started sticking a couple of months ago, but about 2 weeks ago became so dislodged that it is now a hazard. Al has reached out to his supplier, but hasn't heard back yet. Waiting for his reply before I take it apart to see if I can fix it. It's a real pisser...less than a year old!

 

[El Dee]

Dang a sticking fire button now....I've never felt the sense of urgency quiet like when a fire button sticks...

Yes I'm now the proud owner of a vintage H-D Ace of Spades belt buckle....31 bucks and it's still in the factory box....Some Cat had one on a while back for $125 and the ding dang thing sold...One more on there at a buy it now of $48....so.....WIN!!!!

All afternoon the Kayfun has been tasting hot and burnt....Just checked and wattage was 51....Dangitt!!!! I run at 17.5.........

Couldn't quiet figure the Cub mowers symptoms....Seems the old battery isn't being charged by the engine....Here's hoping this will be an easy fix....Well at least not overly complicated....

Speaking of complicated and such....The way I saw life @25 or so was to learn a trade I could accomplish without anyone's assistance....Needing assistance complicates sheet...High paying was a plus...I did all that and worked for another man a lot of days...I never over financed...I bought sheet when I could afford...Over the years I gained some stuff and didn't throw it away....I owe only monthly bills now...I often get asked how I afford to live as I do implying I do something I shouldn't for money....Friends also tell me people ask....Bottom line is I hustle when and where I can....I also make it a point to mind my own business....Yeah I got sheet going on and I fully intend on keeping the ball rolling as is...I'm OK and my little plan worked pretty dang good....I an't rich but I ain't broke and most of all not a damn soul tells me what the heck to do....I'm HAPPY right where I'm at...That old girl sniffing around......She's demanding that much I've observed....Those nosey Mfers???? Best they stay an inch or two outta kicking distance....Sheet is complicated enough without gassing that fire....I got sheet to do.............Dee

Sorry about the lazy labeling [emoji5]. The Colombian is what I'm mainly drinking this week, along with some of the last of the Panama FST. I always have around 20lb of beans on hand, buy 5 lb of whatever catches my eye every couple weeks.

Speaking of kawvee, the weekly Bodhi Leaf special was listed today, India Arabica Peaberry. Cupping: Cocoa, Caramel, Honey. Looks like 5lb of that will be coming Friday [emoji5]. (shipping is super fast from them)

I'm really looking forward to getting a GV Mech Pro. Dual 18650 in parallel, reverse battery protection, simple on/off switch, but otherwise a mech box. $30 from cvapor with a coupon code. It should be great for weekends around camp, probably put the avocado 24 on it. The Perseus rdta also looks kind of interesting, I wouldn't bother buying it but I entered the vapor trail giveaway [emoji3]

The reverse battery protection is cool [emoji5]. A small raised ring around the positive terminal, so a negative battery terminal can't make contact. It is a true mech, no electronics.


Vaping with Vic has a cool review. It's a solid beast, 13.5 oz with batteries, as heavy as a maxo quad [emoji5]

 

[markfm]

On Therion sticking, my first bf had a sticking button but fortunately that turned up day one, so I got ft to replace it.

I looked at the drone, like it but I really don't go high power, figure that mech pro is more in my zone. My standard 0.5 ohm build should get beaucoup run time on a pair of batteries

 

[FranC]

Evening,folks Got dang chilly here.

 

[Bovinia]

Congrats on the buckle, Dee!

Temp was perfect for me today, about 60. Did the first mowing of the season, replaced a couple of cracked downspout extensions.

Got the quote from my carpenter friend today for a small deck and pergola on the back of the house. Planning for around 8x12', uncomplicated by not technically attaching it to the house, no permit required. I'm hoping it will be a nice spot for Katie to enjoy this summer. I plan to make a retractable shade cloth out of canvas that I'll add grommets to, run it along guide wires mounted under the pergola rafters. Will start work on the 29th I hope.

 

[FranC]

Good luck with your project,Bov

 

[markfm]

That sounds like a nice addition Bov [emoji5].

DW has signed me up to build a 12x16 deck/sitting area on the lawn in front of our regular camp deck, with a small fire pit in front of it. The main camp deck will still be where we grill. I don't see the new one getting much use - the view from the main deck, 4' above ground, is stellar - but it's a simple enough project, will be sitting on concrete blocks.

(The only pita is I'll have to bolt the deck frame to the blocks, so it won't float away if we get another high water spring [emoji5])

Morning folks

Afternoon,Bov

 

[Bovinia]

Evening, Fran

Sounds like it's deck building season!

 

[FranC]

In NH it's bedroom windows............

 

[Bovinia]

That works too, Fran!

Morning folks

 

[El Dee]

I've been debating a deck at my back door....Thing is it's under a drip edge of the roof and I don't wanna cause issues....Sooner rather than later I'm gonna need roofing and my thinking is adding an a-roof for the deck...switch from shingles to metal....

Contacted last evening for a frame off restoration of a 1964 Chevrolet Suburban....Gonna be a sheet load of work but also a sheet load of cold hard CASH!!!!!!!

Dang old 31 year old Cub quit charging the battery....I've got the top of the engine on the bench and waiting for parts atm.....Some think I should sell the Cub....That's the problem with the World IMO....No loyalty...That old girl didn't survive all these years by chance....Sheet ain't easy and I'm not a trained small engine mechanic...Instead of giving up I figured it out and got with it....at least I hope I figured it out....Time will tell but I will get it fixed back to factory spec....

We've been having terrible pollen from the Oak Trees....Poor old Spike has been feeling bad so trying to keep him off the grass till this passes...Old dad has been feeling the effects also....I get that mower fixed I'll take a look at things as I've got a wreck scheduled for repair in @ 2 weeks...Needing to work on the Tacoma but also needing some time off....

Our main camp deck is uncovered, other than a little overhang from the pre existing house roof. On nice days hang out on the deck (& that's where the grills are). For rainy days or evenings when the mosquitoes come out, the deck enters to the screened in porch, still a gorgeous view of the lake [emoji5]
