When I was a teenager I had AAA. Great roadside and towing service.

They had cars back then?

 

[misswish1]

Happy Birthday, Gary!!!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

They had cars back then?

Without Prime free shipping is for a $35+ order. I have a wish list so if there's something I want that doesn't reach that threshold I just add something from the wish list. (Well, MOST things have the free shipping over $35, but not all. It'll tell you if the item qualifies and this VG does.)

Oops, did that twice! (wrong porch) Oh well, now you have 2 times the wishes!

Our plumber showed up today and moved an outside spigot - Yay! So, he's ready to leave and turns to Mike and asks how the vaping is working out for him. He smokes cigars and inhales, but needs to quit because he's going to have surgery in a few months. He'd stopped at a very good local B&M and bought a set up, but just wasn't satisfied. Wasn't getting enough TH. HA! We'll show him TH!! When he comes back on Wed. to finish up he's going to bring his set up and we'll have a nice chat. Sounds like he'd really like to make it work, just needs some more info. It's a lot to absorb. (how well I remember those days!) So, we're hoping to help him have a successful transition.

Also, last week when we went to a wedding we stepped outside for a vape and a couple started talking to us about vaping. They tried a kiosk model and went back to smoking so we gave them some info and steered them to ECF. Don't expect to ever see them again, but hope we gave them enough encouragement for them to give it a go.

Isn't it great! Vapers are popping up everywhere!

That's fantastic, Janet! Please let us know how it goes on Wednesday! I don't get out enough to run into many, but vapevert stories will help me be more prepared when I do.

Does ECF still have cards you can give to people? I've never found them on here.

They did a few years ago. All I had to do was pay shipping fer 50 of 'em. But alas, no mo'! I have only one left in my Tahoe...

Hey Gary,

Happy Birthaversary, my friend!​

 

[Iffy]

Yea, it is staying North of my wife's family, but the center is going over our friends living over there (the ones that we visit in Tampa)... All prayers will be appreciated for them and the others in the country...

oh wow, didn't even realize this was happening til I saw it here. Prayers for that area and your friends! What the update on it?

Odyssey Update​

Thirteen people have secured their place at The Odyssey and paid in full. We estimated the cost based on sixteen people attending. The house sleeps twenty. There are several “tentative” attendees. The rate was figured at $181.19 per person for the weeklong stay from April 16th – 23rd, 2016.

We are asking anyone else who plans to attend, and has not yet paid, to PM me (seapeach) ASAP to make arrangements to pay, or at least have a payment plan in progress with me to assure your place. All funds should be received by January 15, 2016; however, it would be helpful to get a plan in place immediately. As this is an interdependent venture, it is crucial for us to know who is seriously considering attending and have a payment plan in place in order for those attending to adjust their finances.

This is necessary to guarantee the final payment to Paradise Resorts is paid in full by February 15th. On January 15th, I will be posting the balance owed, minus any outstanding payments due to be received; along with a request for additional funds from those who have already paid in full should that become necessary.

Everybody who has already paid in full has made a payment of $200.00 even. If the additional funds needed are less than the $18.81 you have in residual, your residual will be used to meet that need and your balance will remain in the residual fund. If the additional funds needed are more than $18.81 you have in residual, you will need to forward payment, or have a plan in progress to meet the balance owed by the time the February 15, 2016 payment is due.

In this way, those who are set to attend will have ample time (thirty days) to secure any additional funds needed. I know Christmas is coming up and many have additional expenses.

For an idea of what additional funds may look like:

We currently have thirteen attending paid in full. That leaves three spaces outstanding. ($543.57 divided by thirteen is an additional $41.82 per person, minus $18.81=$23.01)

If fourteen attend, there will be two spaces outstanding. ($362.38 divided by fourteen is an additional $26.00 per person, minus $18.81=$7.19)

If fifteen attend, there will be one space outstanding. ($181.19 divided by fifteen is an additional $12.08, minus $18.81=+$6.73 remaining in residual fund.)

If sixteen attend the payment to Paradise Resorts will be totally covered. (with $119.76 remaining in residual fund.)

If seventeen to twenty attend, payments will be placed into the residual fund for ancillary support, (paper products, groceries, gas, to = $319.76-$600.00 in the residual fund).

And who got that far behind...

Would ya believe .... coin stacking gadgets? Want to buy a bridge?

Been driving all day, but it's nice to be home.

Tomorrow I get to go for oral surgery to get the last few of my upper teeth removed and a full upper denture. Not looking forward to it, but it will get nice to get it done.

oh yuck, but I tell ya, my sil avoided it like the plague, even though her teeth caused her so many troubles, but once she finally did it, she's been so glad ever since that she did! Hope it will be the same for you.

I don't touch the remote control from the time I get on the scooter until I've gotten off it at my house.

that was great. Cept it looked like ya veered off in the trees, and I kept waitin for ya to come out, but never saw that, then suddenly you were on foot at the house. Was that editing or did I totally miss sumpthin?

Isn't it great! Vapers are popping up everywhere!

Other than at vape shops I have yet to see one in the wild, but I rarely get out.

At least you are not an amateurcrastinator.

somehow I gotta remember that!! My son will get a huge kick out of that.

Took me a few seconds. Gettin' olde sux!

newp not cuz yur gittin old.......ya just procrastinated figgerin it out

Happy Birthday Gary!

Happy Birthday Gary!!!!!!!! Hope you're having a fantastic day!!!!

There was no editing, except for speeding up the entire video to 4 times actual speed. What you call me veering off in the trees is me going down my path to my house.

You didn't miss anything, but the camera on the quad did, due to the angle at which I had programmed the camera, and the lag in the quad reading the signal in order to stay the same distance in front of me.

The camera was aimed too high to see me at the end of the video until I started to reduce the altitude to land it. The reason it was aimed too high at my house, but not aimed too high previously, is that my house is at a lower elevation. The quad stayed at the same height above sea level for the whole trip, so it was maybe 25 feet higher above me at the end of the video than it was at the beginning.

Hope you don't find the explanation excessive. You did ask!
