Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Four

[bigbells]

When playing wiffleball in the street as a child, the customary shout-out when a player spotted an approaching vehicle was:

Car, car, C-A-R, stick your head in a jelly jar. (At which point all pedestrian participants would move just enough toward the sides of the street to allow the vehicle to pass by with millimeters to spare on either side without maiming a child.)

This brings to mind another childhood chant, used to taunt anyone who sustained any kind of injury, particularly if the prevailing opinion was that the injury was lacking in severity:

Baby, baby, stick your head in gravy.
Wash it off with bubble gum and you'll be in the Navy.

For those who apparently stuck their heads in gravy, I apologize for my childishness and sincerely thank you for your service!

Any recommendations for a tank system that uses pre-made nickle coils? I'm thinking I'd rather try temp control that way then go through the hassle of making my own.

I can only help with process of elimination. My only experience with pre-made nickel heads are the ones made by Kanger for the Kanger Subtank, and in my opinion they are not worth trying. The supposed 0.15 ohm nickel heads fluctuated wildly in resistance, produced a poor vape, and failed altogether within a short period of time.

I got the heads soon after they were introduced, so I don't know if they have been redesigned since then.

not exactly a recommendation as I haven't used them.....I don't have TC, but I do love my nautilus tanks and these coils can be used in them....

back porch fun.. sorry about the blurry picture - the latest IOS updates have really messed up the camera on the iPad.
This is the Castle Box mix and match that I have been designing while I was waiting for the help desk to help me figure out what was wrong with my printer. In between making these in Blender I did my own troubleshooting and figured out the issue - ordered a replacement print head assembly and my 3D printer is printing again.

I have this sitting on my night-stand. I can seperate my coins into different boxes, and the ones with the doors are great for putting chap stick, ointments, etc in.

Went and took a look. Maybe a Triton with the nickle coils. PBusardo gave it a good review if I remember correctly. Might add I went to the Web site and fell down the rabbit hole. Spent a good half hour poking around. Hate it when that happens. The worst is Fasttech, can spend hour looking at the crap they have for sale.

Just wanted to say "Hello" to all.

YAY!!!! Got dad home safely today in all this darn rain. It is such a nice feeling to know I don't have to drive anywhere tomorrow or wear a bra.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Uall

My wife always knew I liked cats. She was attacked by a cat when she was in high school and needless to say, did not like them. Anyway, on our 10th anniversary, she gave me a cat, a mixed breed long haired Persian. Nancy named her DC, her reasoning was cute kittens turn into **** cats! Last night while getting dinner together, my daughter stopped and ask what was wrong with the cat. I looked over and she was all stretched out on her bed not breathing. She had laid down for a nap and didn't wake up. 17 years is a nice long life for a cat. This morning I took her remains to the local animal shelter and donated unopened food and litter. I am heart broken. Isn't it silly how we get attached to our four-legged children?

No, not at all silly, Diver. And 17 years is a large chunk of life together.

At least she got to leave from her loving home.

You're home when you take your shoes off. You're home for the day when you take your bra off.

I'm so sorry for your loss. But, I'm glad you had 17 years with her. Not silly at all.

So sorry sweetie, jup David said it well, at least she had a loving home! Big hugggggg to you!!

Not at all!!! Seventeen years is more than a full life.

Oh, how I miss my furry/feathered family members! So sorry for your loss...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.


All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.


They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.


You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.


Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

This actually a HALO jump. High Altitude, Low Opening. Thought the thought was pretty cool.

Night all, Ratty glad to hear dad's home ok. I'll still keep him in my prayers ok?

 

[Rotowoman]

So far, not too bad here. Areas near Charlotte NC and Charleston SC, a good ways west and southwest of me, have already been much more affected. It has rained for 12 consecutive days and it's expected to be 14 straight days before it takes a break.

Wow!! That's a hella rain! Dave, I do SO love the place where you live. That's where I'd like to be....some place away from nutty neighbors and town.

YAY!!!! Got dad home safely today in all this darn rain.

Yeah!! Dad is home. That's great! I'm sure you're both very happy about that.

No, it's not. They become part of our family. They ARE family. They teach us things that no human can teach us. They love unconditionally. I truly am sorry for your loss.

No, not silly at all Diver, you've lost a long time friend and companion. Lots of hugs to you in the days ahead as your heart heals.

anyone who has ever owned an animal knows that they become part of the family. They are your children. Nothing silly about it.

Diver, my heart goes out to you and your family. Yes they are family, and 17 years is a long time of love and happy memories. Warmest hugs for you.

You were both lucky to have each other for that long. So sorry for your loss.

I love my fur babies because they. . . love me back. Well the cats and dogs anyway. My bird hates me.

You're home when you take your shoes off. You're home for the day when you take your bra off.

I'm home for several days. . .

Hope you can get some rest hun!

I'll still keep him in my prayers ok?
