Endurance was my key also - used to run 5 and 10 mile cross country races - held the county record for several years - now I am lucky to run to the other side of the house (maybe in a fire I could - extra incentive you know)... :D
I never was very athletic. When I got out of boot camp in 1975 I was in better shape than any other time in my life. Kind of wish I had at least tried to stay in shape. Maybe I wouldn't be having so many health problems now. You know what they (Yep, them) say... Coulda, woulda, mighta, shoulda, biggest words in the dictionary.

Wouldn't work for me either. That's 3 sizes too small. You know what they say about guys with big feet.... they wear big shoes. I can't remember who I stole that one from.

I couldn't outrun many kids even when I was one, and even though I was fairly fit at one time. I was able to develop some endurance and the ability to anticipate, but raw foot speed is more a gift than something than can be developed.

Sometimes endurance is all you need. Found that out the hard way a few times. You might be fast, but being fast only counts for a small percentage of things. With the issues arising in todays society - like common sense - endurance is another thing that's lacking. I laugh at how funny that is sometimes, but it's sad and true. Guess it's the "entitled" that feel they don't need endurance to complete anything.

As far as big shoes, I have small feet. 11.5 wide or 12.5 regular. I used to work in shoes... but for the life of me - can't remember what they used as identifiers. I know W was wide and N for narrow or slim... but flat sizes = R? My biggest issue is being flat-footed.

You know what would have made the Releaux a decent mod for me to own? 2x Li-Po battery packs. Battery life for WEEKS!

It's never too late ... health problems are my exact motivation to stay as fit as possible .. I may not be Jack LaLanne, but I'll outwork about any 25 year old .. it's just going to take me longer .. and I've got a few years on you .. it's easy to talk yourself out of something, or just not be willing to take the first step and stick with it .. it's also easy to whine ..

Lets not forget the Scott Toilet paper.
Or the toast.
One must go to such events fully equipped.
Never actually went to a participation showing of that. Wasn't my favorite, didn't like it enough to stay up till midnight for it. :thumb:

So sorry for the pain, but glad things are/will be OK without casts, surgery, pins, whatever. Hope you heal quickly!


I can't tell you how many times at dog shows a dog drops a load, or drips it along, people stand by to warn, but others just walk along in a fog and squish. Actually sometimes pretty funny, especially the ones locked to their cell phones.
Suitable punishment for rude inattention. :lol: Barefoot would be better.

@disallowedword and @umanbean, SO nice to see you both back here again! Now, don't go away!

11 dead and 20 something injured in tornadoes about 2.5 hrs north of me, same blizzard in Amarillo that Misswish is dealing with. We were lucky, just big Tstorms one day and mostly wind yesterday. Now just cold. Gonna be lows in the 30's all week though, don't like that at all.
My son and his family came down for Christmas and left Monday morning to head right back into that mess. They live in Fort Worth.

Well theres no real comparison there. The YiHi is way more accurate but this gives you just as good a vape after you get the hang of these jtech boards. That YiHi is really reliable not sure about this but for the money you can get a really good tc vape with this one. Don't know how long it will last but it's built really solid. Just don't charge it with the USB like they say you can. When they get done upgrading I think it will be just fine and you can't beat the battery life but you really need 6 new 18650's and keeps them married up so you have 2 sets. But 2 full days is pretty good.
Yeah 44.00 sounds good, lol. I can gift that 100w istick to my cousin and then on with the threesomes, lol.
The 62.00 for that sx350 chip is great IMO but the billet box and hardware probably isn’t worth the balance and besides I like the shape of that mod you have there better.
By the time Im ready for that yihi chip hopefully it will have come down a bit in price, thanks buddy!

Never was a big Elvis or Beatles fan, but enjoyed the Kinks, the animals...

Never big on Elvis either, but yes, yes & yes on the other 3. My youngest sister loves Elvis. She was just a little girl when he did his white jumpsuit show on tv & was just mesmerized. I'd already left home so I missed it, but our middle sister told me about it. She bugged our Dad until he got her an Elvis 8 track tape for in the car, & an album for home. She was maybe 5 years old.

BIG Beatles fan. Wish they had actually toured in the Abby Road days. That, in my not so humble opinion, is one of the best albums every produced.
