    The simple ex is a cute little squonker, but it uses an internal 800mAh battery. For the asking price I'd likely pick up a normal squonker and rda. You can get an original pulse mech for $16 at myvpro: VandyVape Pulse BF Squonk Box Mod | Weekly Special Deal


    I'm psyched - won a vapefly galaxies mtl squonking rdta on DJLsb's channel [emoji5]

    I saw the Simple the other day....Went and checked it out after I left here...That internal battery is a deal killer....Gas Mods Nixon rda had caught my eye....reviews pretty much squelched that as well....

    Nice saw and rolling tray !!!

    Got one coat of stain on 2 of the sets of steps....they'll be getting a second and final coat hopefully tomorrow...Still got the inside of more than half the spindles....trimming in the floor of the deck as I get the spindles stained....I get all that and it's time to roll the deck floor....Leaving the breezeway and front steps in use until I get the back done....So far all staining has been done with a 2.5 angle cut brush....Little 4 inch brush action on the steps....Within a fraction of 2 gallons of stain down and that brush and sun are BRUTAL !!!

    Sounds yummy, Wharf!

    We brought home TOO much pastries... We'll just have to power through :lol:

    Wharf, I gained 5 pounds by reading all of that deliciousness!!!! Enjoy every morsel!!! And have a few extra bites for your old jersey friend while you’re at it!

    We're getting there Tracy :shock:

    Look what followed me home today!

    Nice haul,Bov:) Did you hear on the house yet?

    Not yet, Fran...and my seller and I are both about ready to strangle the city people who are supposed to update plats from the survey! It's the only thing holding up closing. Paying rent to my seller is costing me damn near 3 times what my house payments are gonna be :mad:

    LoL at the rolling tray, Dee!! I swear that never entered my mind ;) Glad you're finally able to make some progress on the deck staining.

    Congratz Mark!!

    Wharf, if you need to re-home any of those pastries....just sayin'

    Hell yeah those Greek pastries looked good.....Hovering at 180lbs. and trying to break into the 170s I can't have any pastries....Enjoy !!!

    Good news on the closing.....

    Best news I've got is all those ding dang pickets on the back deck are stained to the freekin' max....16 pickets are left on the front steps and they're new wood but 16 is a drop in the bucket compared...Gonna get a final coat on the steps and landing where the breezeway connects with the back deck and then gonna roll the first coat over the floor of the back deck.....I read the directions for spraying the stain and that said tip in with a brush after spraying....I decided to just go straight brush and all turned out El Dee spec....Hoping the roller will be a go and no brush tipping will be needed...If I gotta tip I'll just use a bigger brush and get with it....Gotta write out Mom's bills and gonna try and wait until the sun breaks this afternoon....Give the stain a bit of time to soak without that sun blazing down.....It's Hellish out there

    Got the official pre closing appraisal review in my email, so I think we'll make closing this Friday without any further delays. Got my fingers crossed!

    Since my yard is teeny tiny, without any slopes or real obstacles, I decided to go with a cordless li on battery mower. I needed something that I can lift, and didn't want to fool with gas, oil changing, etc. This one followed me home today, was on sale at Lowes for $100 off. Gets decent reviews except for the batt run time (as I would expect from a 40v batt) but I have 90 days to return if it doesn't do what I need. It's got a bagger, mulches, and rear discharge. Got the batt charging now.

    Hoping it has enough battery power to mow the teeny tiny yard:)

    40v batteries cam be sweet [emoji5]

    I picked up a lopping saw last fall from HF, a little chain saw at one end, 40v battery at the other, extends to about 10' long. An absolutely wonderful tool for taking off fairly decent sized branches where I don't want them.

    I've got the DeWalt 40 volt weed eater and blower....On my third blower so I added the extra warranty that loses offered....Kinda miffed when the second blower bit it so I kept the battery and charger when I returned it...Got 3 batteries now and they seem to hold a charge pretty decent.....Heavy and cantankerous to slide in and out of both the blower and weed eater though...Takes two hands....

    Had this putty knife with a cut out on one side for cleaning a paint roller....the other side has a sharpened hook for cleaning out crevices such as those between decking boards....Buried that hook in the side of my foot at the big toe....damn it hurts....it bled all afternoon....prolly needs stitches....it got alcohol and Neosporin....I kept digging and added the breezeway steps on the finished list with the spindles....Played it out until late and rolled the first stain coat onto the deck floor....I wanted it out of the sun to give the stain a little more soak in time before drying...Also the roller doesn't leave a smooth finish and the shade allowed it to level out nice....4 gallons of stain now on the back deck...5.5 will probably get it done...Gotta limp my buttocks into Lowes for more stain tomorrow.....Old deck is starting to look pretty good....Foot is gonna take awhile...

    Woo hoo Bov!!! Almost signed, sealed and delivered now!
    Mower looks to handle with ease. Hope it treats ya good!

    Ouch ElDee! Speedy healing thoughts sent your way.

    I’m hovering too....there’s a two pound window I’m trying to slam shut....off and on for two weeks now. A plateau of sorts. Kick rocks!

    My middle baby girl got engaged in a little town called Duck NC 9 days ago! Even though I knew it was coming, I full on ugly cried when my FaceTime phone call came in that morning at 6:30 am. Wow, I can’t believe one of my babies will be getting married in two years.
    And I’m SO HAPPY she hasn’t shared that screenshot of my reaction on fb!!!! Lol

    Have a great day everyone! Here is her true initial reaction, unfiltered...
