Morning,folks:) Trying out a cCell. Have at 15w right now. Jury is out but I don't have a tank through it yet

I was exactly where you are my first day with the cCell. It takes a little patience but well worth it in the end. Ceramic is very porous and I think it takes it a bit to fully saturate.

Back n the day I had a German Shepard/Labrador mix named Killer....That back of the neck tick/flea stuff was new on the market....my GF was a vet tech....I applied it to Killer....He fell over dead while coming back from the pond.....Stated right in the fine print....Sudden death may occur....Killer was 3 years old.....That's where I'm at with tick stuff....I'll take my chances....

I'm gonna fire off another order with ecig.com...Last time I used the code Ecig10....They have the LGs @2 for $10....I'm good with that and looking to get to the free shipping level price wise...Not sure what that is but $112 was free shipping last go round....My question is are the codes one time use and if so what's another code?????

I totally understand not wanting to use that stuff. Peppermint oil. Get a bandana and put that on it. Tie it around his neck. You will not see another flea or tick. Or, you can get the natural oils already mixed in a squeeze on. Totally natural no chemical pesticides.

I got a list of codes I will post here.

I understand totally not wanting to use pesticides on him. The all natural oils work every bit as good. You can get a bandana and put peppermint oil on it. Tie around his neck. It will keep fleas and ticks far away from him. Or you can get the premixed all natural oils to put on him. No pesticides in it at all. I think that I may have showed you this before. We used it on my moms and sisters dogs. It works and works well. Here is what I speak of
Sentry Natural Defense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs
I have heard of some dogs being allergic to it so if you try you may want to try small spot first.

Or this on bandana https://www.amazon.com/Peppermint-L...qid=1471282930&sr=8-3&keywords=peppermint+oil
Also good rodent deterrent ^^^^^^

Anyway, Ecig coupon use this if you have not already
ljc15 =15%

FYI- All of their codes are one time use. Even during sales.
Free shipping over $75

I've about had my last argument with this old desktop of mine. Sound sheet the bed again! Was fine when I powered down last night...boot up this am and "no sound card installed." Found a cheap one on the Bay, it should be here in a week. If that don't fix it, it may be the pci slot, and I'll try a cheap pci-e card. If that don't fix it....I'll start pricing a new desktop pc :(

I can't use any of the spot treatments for Chase either, poor guy is allergic to half the world I think. His eye infection is back, so dealing with drops and ointments 3 times a day again. Really hate hearing that treatment killed your dog, Dee!

Tatt artist called a minute ago, wants to meet Friday and go over some designs he's come up with. At least that's something good for this Monday from hell :laugh:

Dang. I have been ordering from them for 5 years? About a month after they opened and I did have one instance where a 120 of FA Forest Fruit cap broke in transit. The mail lady pulled up my driveway asking me what it was that smelled so good (that stuff is STRONG) but, it never leaked through the bag. They did replace no questions asked though.

So it is just me.

Thanks for the links and codes Salem !!!

Oly I once received a box packed as yours is....Everything was fine though....I'm sure RTS will replace the broken bottles....

Dad would take a walk before riding off in his Peterbilt...He always took Killer and they were returning when Killer fell over....Past that Dad would always let Chopper and BeBe walk with him....For months after Dad passed Chopper would go to his Bronco and sit whenever I let him out of the pen....The whole crew is in Heaven now...

Bittersweet memories, Dee...and I know them well. The last of the dogs that the other ex and I adopted passed a few weeks ago. We worked with our local shelter and vet, took in dogs that no one else would adopt.

Wow Oly! All you need to do is send that pic to RTS, they'll make it right!

Found an old pci sound card in the box of computer parts in the basement. Plugged her in the chassis, found the archived drivers on the web, and my sound is back in business. The one coming from Ebay will be kept as a spare, and I'm happy to know the pci slot was not the problem. I may be a lot of things...but a quitter ain't one of 'em ;)

Well the heat index was only 104** today...Yeah I was outside....I just worked until I felt I better take a break in the shade....Now sweat was aplenty in the sun but when I sat down in the shade sweating really increased noticeably....Must be the body cooling down err something....I got a few more things to accomplish before bed but trying to get a little re-charge atm.....

Looking into the cold brewed coffee I find the recipes all over the dang place....I also find it's very trendy with the Hipsters....All I know is I've had what was probably hot brewed iced coffee and that was delish...so if I'm being trendy so be it....I also learned coffee beans oxidize after being ground so that's why it's important to grind them when you use them....This is gonna require an actual good grinder....So far I haven't ventured into the grinder market but I do know I want electric and BIG!! I also gotta source beans and well???? I've only purchased pre-ground and filled those little cups for the Keurig....The biggest drawback to the whole deal to me was filtering...So I ordered up a set of hemp steeping bags.....No filtering and I can skatter mass quanitys of spent grounds over the yard and raised beds....Yepp.....NO FILTERING!!!! Bags are said to fit any size Mason Jar and Hell Yeah I got Masons out the ying yang....Once I get bags/beans and grinder sorted out I plan on cold brewing concentrate in a 1/2 gallon Mason and adding another 1/2 gallon when brewed....My dang ice maker hasn't worked since Moby Dick was a minnow so I wanna keep the brew cold and just use my Artic cup past that....I don't jack around with soft drinks/sodas and good cold pick me up would be nice....I'm working on it!!

Capresso Infinity is a nice grinder at a decent price. Conical burr, ceramic, what I picked up. I got it from an online housewares place, I believe it's a site affiliated with Amazon.

Bodhi Leaf is where I buy beans. They run a sale every Tuesday on some bean or another, all that I've tried have been good. The trick is buy 4 - 5 lb at a time, since base shipping cost is about $6.50. Everything I've gotten from them has run $5 - $6/lb including shipping.

Old style mason jars work great for storing roasted beans, the kind with the rubber top and snapping hinge.

Air is roasted coffee's enemy. I'll store ground coffee in a smaller mason jar to bring to camp.

You can do a second filter on the cold brew, a fine stainless mesh, though if you have a nice coarse grind the hemp bags should do great. Me, I'm fine with the little bit of sediment that I get at the bottom of a pitcher.

Lots of options on the actual roasting. I use a small batch air roaster, some folks modify an air corn popper. Others use a drum.

For cold brew you generally want a relatively light roast, city or full city. A little oil sheen is cool, but not totally black and oily.

Cooling after roasting is important. I use a simple table top box fan blowing into a colander with the beans. The idea is to get them close to room temp in 4 or 5 minutes, so they don't keep cooking.

(Sorry for the long post :) )

Way too late update, but update nonetheless :)

I received two different roasted beans from Mark. I used 3/4 cup of course ground Sulawesi White Eagle in a Quart of filtered water. I let it steep 11 1/2 hours, tried to go 12 but I had to get to bed. We've used Santa Cruz Roasting Co Sweet Italian for over 25 years. I get it shipped from the roasters monthly. We make a thick pot every morning.
So trying this cold brew was a real treat. Now I spent many years abusing my olfactory sensors and I was pleased get some peasant notes. Decidedly less acid than I'm used to but that was great too as I don't like it as much with iced coffees. I used 1 to 0 ratio, cold coffee to water LOL and loved it just like that.

All in all, this is a great find and I'll continue the cold brew.... Thanks a BUNCH for the coffee and advice mark !!!
