What size battery does it have Bov ???? How you liking the S.C. weather ????

Fran I know you can handle any storm...STAY WARM!!!! Glad Hubs feels better....I hope that continues

Good morning,folks I think it finally stopped snowing. Total 14-15 inches.

 

[Bovinia]

Manchester ended up with 13.5 inches of really wet, heavy snow. Can't say I miss it!!

It takes a single 18650, and so far I really like it...for a single 18650 mod. I have the .4 clapton coil in the tank, running between 48-52w and have to say that my SB Cheesecake is tasting more flavorful in this tank compared to my original crown. I have a cold right now so hard for me to judge, but Pokie agrees on the flavor. All of my old Buzz Pros are in storage so I can't side by side compare, but it feels about the same in hand, or maybe closer to the Provari Mini in size.

Dee, Mark...our Harbor Freight is having a parking lot sale this weekend! Pokie is gonna need to confiscate my car keys and purse

My shopping round is Bargain Outlet (the old Grossman hardware). They have their annual sale this weekend, need a window for camp.

Planning to pre-order a pulse 80w, running about $47. Its got the gene chip, only a little larger than the base pulse bf.

 

[El Dee]

Here's hoping ya'll enjoy the new mods....I hope the new tank provides excellent flavor cause I'm always in the market...

Right now I'm needing some headlights/fog lamps/shifter knob/finger touch oil drain valve for the Dodge...factory Dodge H/Ls are known to have poor reflectors and they're faded and yellow after 21 years...58 year old eyes needin' all the help they can get....I've noticed more and more some people think it's OK just to ride with the brights on and not dim them when meeting another driver....Now my full intention is to be able to see but I'll set the lights so I got plenty of vision on low and when I hit the high beams....well.....best dim those lights when you meet me......

Fran I am so happy hubs is feeling better! Makes my heart happy. I too hope it continues. <3

Bov sweet looking mod and I’m glad it’s flavorful!!! I’ve never been a big cloud chaser. Give me FLAVOR!!!

Mark, I’ve been eyeing the pulse myself and may get in on a preorder.

I hear ya on the old eyes ElDee! Hate it!!!

 

[markfm]

I hear you on the eyes, El Dee, as another one of the 58 club [emoji5]

I did order the Pulse 80, from 3f. I don't expect to see it until late April (the joys of pre-order), but should have it before our trip to Key West.

The teal pulse bf will be on the PIF pile (I'm hanging onto the gray one, which has had a lot of use). My reworked Squeezer is my current best performer - the modmaker 510 plus 22awg copper contacts make for a low loss, short throw, device, very little pressure to fire (the way I like it).

I ordered a nice sounding Nicaraguan bean today, the notes are brown sugar, apple, and spices.

Thanks again, Wharf, for the ego-510 adapters, they're working great for lanyards.

Delivered a job back to a customer today....Paid so GOOD!!!

Thought I'd get a jump on the tree I gotta cut next....I used the slingshot and got the 40lb test fishing line where I wanted it...Started to pull the rope up and the tree locked down the 40lb....broke it...re shot that line up there and 3 breaks....Tied a brick to the rope and threw it at that crook in the tree @500 times....everywhere but where it needed to go...shot the 40lb back in and got the rope through the crook...Used the rope to hoist the steel cable....Yeah.....the end of the cable got stuck at the V of the crook....Finally rode too Cuzzo's and picked him up...he pulled the rope while I whipped the cable....He gave up and wanted to go get a ladder...No way in Hell I'm climbing that high with the ladder unstable both on the ground and up top against the tree...One last pull and whip and that damn cable jumped the crook...Now I got a noose firmly attached and ready for the come-a-longs.....Got other work tomorrow and weather is supposed to set in Sunday with us on the edge of the snow line Monday....That 40lb....rope....cable....beat my buttocks down......Soon as the weather clears it's lumberjack time...

I hear you on the eyes, El Dee, as another one of the 58 club

Uh huh...ditto!!

Dee, I know how frustrating it must have been getting the cable positioned, but I can't help but laugh at your adventures

I have come down with a hateful chest cold, first one I've had in a very long time. Tight and congested enough to be using an inhaler I'll be over it soon enough, but feeling like hammered sheet yesterday and today. Pokey's 11 yr old had it last week, so I was expecting it to make the rounds. Gonna cuddle with my strawberry cheesecake in my new strawberry mod

 

[908Tracy]

Yes I too chuckle at your adventures ElDee! You crack me up but are probably one of the most resourceful friends I know!! “Where there’s a will, you WILL find a way!”

Mark have you seen the u tube vid of the newest pulse? I just watched it yesterday and it looks as though they’ve addressed some issues of its predecessors. The resin is really nice too! I’ll shoot the vid to you in pm if I can.

Hope you feel better real soon Bov. Enjoy your strawberry cheesecake and new mod while doing so. Hugs

 

[markfm]

I like the video [emoji5]

I'm content with a 3f order, and they're an authorized seller (in case there is a warranty problem).

 

[Wharf Rat]

I also pre-paid for the Pulse 80 from 3F. One of the other Chinese sites said it would ship 3-31... but who knows??

Last Saturday we sent Kia a care basket, no bucket, actually a Big Azz 37lb box. It was $165 shipping and it showed up last night (Saturday night for her) and She was ecstatic. Clothes, Boots makeup and sundries. I snuck in a 240ml of juice, You can't buy nic'd juice in Japan but you can buy it from other countries. She was happiest with the coffee and Hot Cheetos !!!

I hope everyone is well.... and always my thoughts and prayers for Fran and Hubs

 

[Bovinia]

I bet Kia was all kinds of happy to get your care package!!

I've turned into a pitiful little snot factory. And it's been so long since I had a chest cold, I had forgotten how miserable they are...bleh! On the bright side, at least most colds only last about a week

 

[FranC]

Hope ya feel better soon,Bov Funny you had to move south to get sick...........

 

[Bovinia]

Thank you, Fran! I had the sniffles a few times while living in Ct, but this one took me down for the count. With a couple of nebulizer breathing treatments yesterday, my chest feels better today. I slept most of yesterday. Very thankful that I don't smoke anymore!

 

[FranC]

So glad you're starting to feel better.

 

[El Dee]

I had that nasty snot fest cold weeks back....sinuses still not at 100%....Get well soon !!

Sitting right on the edge of the snow line and getting pounded with rain ATM.....Let's hope it continues to be rain....Planned on a Sam's Club visit to get supplies for the house....Drowning not an option though....

 

[El Dee]

Well the monsoon turned into sleet and then a blizzard....The powers that be didn't brine the roads and I much prefer they don't.......Eased around on the Tacoma and snagged a bag of ice melt and delivered my Sis' birthday card I've had since 3/1....Today the melt is full on and it's past a muddy mess outside....Still needing a trip to Sam's and if my card is expired I plan on switching too Costco....Wanna see what pellet grills Sam's has and grab some paper products....I'm getting a pellet grill soon and the front runner for purchase is the Rec Tec Bull...That bad boy has the largest cooking area and stainless bull horns for handles to open the grill....Bull has a computer different from the computer most other pellet grills share....I wanna set it and come back 12 hours later to check it and wrap the butts or briskets in foil.......

Old boy I purchased the Dodge from offered to buy Mom's Accord after it sat in his yard a couple of days...Unk wanted it but he's a chisler...Niece is turning 16 in September....Mom's driving days are done and it's my intention to let go of the Accord and give Niece the money on her first ride....A ride I also gotta find....I'm leaning hard Toyota....4-Runner/FJ Cruiser/Rav 4 in that order......

7 inches of snow and still coming down like crazy. Poor hubs just left to pick up our TT driver customer so he can get his truck. He has nothing to drive in this weather.

 

[markfm]

We had around 6" last night and today, supposed to get another 7 -15" tonight through Thursday am. I'll bring my computer with me tonight, work from home tomorrow.
