Thanks, Deb. That's kind of what I've been telling myself but it didn't hurt to hear you reinforce it! I even made a short silent video of just the parts of the flight that show the work being done. On Monday I'll call the ranger again, ask for his email, and send him the link. He might be able to make a determination without even having to take a road trip.
folks being too afraid to say something and do something about stuff they knew was wrong is partly responsible for the massacre at Ft. Hood! When something is wrong, people need to speak up

Where is his owners manual? Unless he bought it used...

Sounds like he did all that it said to do, it's just stuck. Google showed me that it's not an uncommon problem, and that an update would fix it, but it didn't for him.

I feel a little like a snitch, but I have no idea whether any violation is occurring, just wanted to give a heads-up.

Good thing to call. If it's not a problem, then no biggie, and a decent company won't mind. But if they are violating conservation laws, folks need to know.

Agreed!

Anyone notice Dave's right hand boogie?!?!

Morning, having my wake up cup on the porch. Winter is definitely coming to au. They are only now catching on to ducted heating / cooling in new builds. So one has to dress accordingly. Thankfully, we don't get freezing temps, but I've been pulling out the throw blankets.
Time to guess at a few new flavours to order, something to break it up a bit. Galls me to spend 30$ shipping on 20 dollars worth. I can't bring myself to order premium brands. They can't be that much better, all made of same ingredients. wishing I was home and could just shoot out to the shops and pay and go. Australia can be quite inconvenient at times. If anyone calls me mate today, I'll get my frying pan out. Cheers all.

will keep that in mind!

I get so annoyed at our shipping sometimes, so I would go ballistic paying what you pay! Some places aren't bad, but I"ve also had to pay more in shipping than I did for the item I wanted. Amazon does help a lot with that now, but didn't know about it then.

Do you know about FastTech? (Often known as SlowTech because your order arrives via slow boat).
Many of us have ordered from FastTech and still do, when time is not of the essence. Anyway, starting at the bottom of this page you'll see flavorings.
FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

Only 555 more pages to check through after that.

The big advantage to ordering from FastTech: free shipping, even on the tiniest of orders.

I've got no idea whether Australia does anything to block shipments from China, but if not, I highly recommend that you give FastTech a try.

Night night

Sleep tight

Don't let the bedbugs bite


there then..been wanting to say that to someone for a long time:D

When I wad a wee child my Dad and I used to exchange this. One would say 1 line the other would say the next :

Good night
Sleep tight
Wake up right
See the morning bright
Wake up to be bright eyed and bushy tailed
And have sweet dreams. :wub:

They may be a little tighter at customs, but not blocked, so will try. Are They reliable( aside from the time factor)?

YOOHOOOO, @2legsshrt , any way you could help this guy out? :)



Thank you! :)
Well I just caught this and I told him the things I would try but have never even heard of this problem before. He has a Renegade which is a mod that is sold by Varitube where I buy all my SX's and it has the same chip as my M's but like I say mine all work perfectly. I rarely go out of Joules mode but tried all of mine and no problem. I did find out there is upgrades out for my M's and ML but not really interested it's just for their illusive Pure atomizer that hasn't showed up on the market yet and I have the setting on my ML if I get crazy and get one. I'm perfectly satisfied with what I have.

IME, yes.

You do need to carefully read descriptions. If it's listed as "authentic" it will be, if listed as "style", it's a clone. Some of which may be well made, so look at some of the feedback on a particular item.

I've ordered from them about 12 or 15 times. Three years ago I placed four orders within a 2 or 3 week time period and never received 3 of them. They were small orders, so at first I didn't notice, then I forgot, then I procrastinated. By the time I got around to creating tickets, it was almost a year since the orders had been placed. They issued me credit for the entire amounts, which was only about $25 total. If I'd reported it quicker they'd have given me a refund instead, but I had no problem using the credit.

Fasttech seems to periodically have shipping difficulties, but I've heard of none in the past year or so, and even when those difficulties existed, their customer service was on the ball about issuing refunds or credits.

After trying many positions, getting a rolling laptop cart, sitting on various height pillows, realizing that this dang laptop is way too heavy for me and the keyboard is way too far back cuz the whole dang thing is just too big, I've come to the conclusion that bigger is not necessarily better.

So now I'm on the hunt for a smaller laptop:(

This time I'm gonna physically check them out to make sure that they're not too heavy to cart around easily!

I have an older desktop for the serious stuff; a laptop for watching TV and surfing; a tablet that is too big for doing the things I can now do with a smaller tablet. The moral of this story is that I, too, did not think before I presented my credit card and begged the salesperson to give me that shiny PC. The smaller tablet is just the right size to put in my "dialysis comforts" bag along with my warm throw, a small bottle of apple juice, Ritz peanut butter crackers, cell phone and ear phones. (3 days a week............3 1/2 hours MWF)

Here is something for the NASCAR fans.
I'm a few pages behind but had to share this little bit of NASCAR trivia. I will get caught up tomorrow while I'm on the patio smoking a couple racks of ribs and a spiral cut ham. They have been rubbed down and are marinating in the fridge. Dinner will be when the ribs are falling off the bones. I have to admit, there are some aspects of smoking I haven't been able to give up.
