Thanks to Aleve I was able to move today.....No muscles hurt but several threaten to pull if I make the wrong move....Did manage to secure the 2X4s for framing up the port covers on the tank....The new lid has 2 12X12 openings...one over the working off area and one on the baffled side....The covers have to be framed up and cast in concrete then the frames are removed....Gonna try and get that done tomorrow and then I hope to never pour concrete again....

Cuzzo's Son is trying to get the cash together to purchase my Dodge....Bank would only let him borrow 10,500....I figured they wouldn't go much past 6K but what do I know...I know he's still way short!!! I've had that truck nearly 15 years....Growing tired of the lifted, big tire thingy though....Looking a diesel from any of the big 3...trouble is they all have issues that must be addressed....If all goes as planned I'll sell Tuesday...Old man truck here I come....The Taco is safe though...

The Capo should be pretty solid, as long as you don't sweat TC (at least on the PD270 their TC is pretty bad, though I liked their VW operation).

I'm waiting on the Pulse bf mod to ship, really enjoy my predator mech with 20700 battery; the predator is simple, consistent operation.

I do have plenty of the silicone squonk tubing, if anyone would like a couple feet tossed in when I send some kawvee.

The YFTK 30ml silicone 510 squonk refill bottle came in - I like it :)

Still waiting on the therion DNA75C 7ml squonk bottle with air vent. I like higher ml, but that air vent looks like it'll make in-mod refills super easy. Shipping from FT is listed as the 14th, within a day of when the Pulse bf should be shipped to me by 3f.

I have a couple of Fuchai Minis and like them. Their Squonk says it 105mm. I have to imagine they are including the tank height ??? I would not want a mod that tall.

I have the YFTK 30ml silicone and I can't get it right. I can't squeeze enough air out of the squonk bottle to refill it. I can get just past half before it starts to balloon the bottle.

Evening folks :)

The train has left the station. APS meeting yesterday along with a nurse from a Memory Care facility. A phone call to Met Life to confirm Katie's Long Term Care Insurance will cover the facility care cost (it will), and a phone call today from the case coordinator to let me know Katie's bank accounts are being frozen. He hopes to get this case before the Probate Judge by end of week. Wow...sheet just got real!

I kinda like the Fuchai....Thinking 3F is from China though....I can't stand by the mailbox that long....

Pulled the form off the tank top today....all is well there....New concrete looks nice...Port covers are still in the mold drying so I switched off and started clearing trees from the area where the new drain lines will reside...I already gotta hella pile of limbs and such to burn...Lots more clearing to do but at least that's a get it done job.....no devising a plan....

The other night my Dagger/OG Crown combo met the deck forcefully....then I forgot to pick it up and it stayed out all night...After that it went all DNA even though it's not a DNA and gave a low battery at 3/4 battery...Today it was in my pocket when it decided to just activate on it's own...Trust it was hot...Mad scramble to get the battery out made more difficult due to the bottom of the Dagger coming loose months back...Saw a hairline crack in the Crown's glass running from top to bottom and the juice was in my pocket....It's dead and I ain't real sorry about that....Time has come for the Oceanus order....Off to search for a charger that fits a 20700....

Hoping all works out in Katy's favor....Kevin can kick rocks and be damn glad he's out of my reach...I'll throw that Dagger Mod at him......

Better fast than dragging it out,Bov. Hope all works out well.

I agree, Fran. Being government, I expected it to take at least a couple of months to even get on the court docket.

Yowsers, Dee! I've had that mad scramble to extract a batt...it's scary!

Are you flipping back and forth?
- invert the mod with the squonk bottle 510 pointed down)
- squeeze the squonk bottle to purge at least some air, attach the yftk while it is still squeezed
- flip so the yftk is now on top
- squeeze yftk to force some liquid into squonk bottle
-invert again
- squeeze squonk bottle to shove air into yftk
- flip again so yftk is back on top and squeeze it to put more liquid into the squonk bottle

The above is pretty fast once you get it down.

The therion 75c bottle I have on order should make it super simple.
- open the little air purge on the squonk bottle cap
- attach yftk and squeeze - air purges out the valve
- when full, detach and close the valve

Best I'm seeing on the Oceanus in the US is $52 including shipping, from 101vape. That's for the base mod with 2 batteries, using the current 5% off coupon.

Many newer chargers will handle the 20700. My xtars from 2015/16 are fine, though the older wp2 ii are a bit short.

Best international would be $61 from fasttech, which includes the scion tank ( with rba and the 5.5ml bubble adapter).

Since I'm picky about tanks, I'd do 101vape and put an ammit 25 on it.
