Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Four

[Myrany]

Woke up super stiff from yesterdays excursion. Having a vape and the morning caffeine and trying to convince myself I can find the energy to portion out all that meat and vacuum seal it. Yep I be procrastinating!

Make sure you distribute the meat among the already frozen stuff. If you put it altogether in one spot, it might take too long to freeze.

If you don't want to spend money, don't look here , Closeouts: Vapor Bank - Evansville, Indiana E-Cigarette Store

AND $3 Kayfuns, Kayfun: Vapor Bank - Evansville, Indiana E-Cigarette Store

Enabler you be ... couldn't pass up 3 Tobeco KFV4's for $15 including shipping.

They're out of kayfun Lite but have the EHPro version of the Kayfun V4 for 3.99 if anyone is interested. V4 rebuild kits for 0.79 cents.

Matt I didn't see EHPro, but I did get some Tobeco clones.

It's colder then a well diggers ... hole here. Hasn't even made it to 10 yet still 8 was colder then that last night.

Is that colder than a witches left ... ?

So..I started off my day in my usual inimitable style.....

set the alarm for 8:00 am, got fixed up for a change to go to the Dr..... when it was almost time for the bus to arrive i fixed up a large insulated lidded coffee cup to take with me, put it in my purse when the bus arrived, making sure the lid was on tight and the flip-up thing was closed and it was against the edge of the purse with wallet etc. tight against it.

Arrived at the Dr.s....it was closed! Lazy pikers...NYE doesn't start till evening and besides, they close at 4:00 pm anyway.

So had to ride around in the bus for another hour till he had pickups and dropoffs in my area. At one pickup I moved to the back of the bus so I could vape and sip coffee. Flipped the lid, tipped the cup...nothing. Took off the lid...no coffee in the cup, about 9-10 ozs. was in the bottom of my purse...along with my wallet, Kleenex, sunglasses ,address book..that I'd just filled from the old one ( which I then threw away) and my cellphone.

It IS tuff being me

Oh goodness couldn't like that post ... were you able to drain your pocketbook back into the coffee mug at least?

@MikeE3 what did you say about the VTC mini. Do you like it. Some of the reviewer rated it #1 for 2015. Still thinking about the Cuboid. Fastech has them for $44 Don't need the power but the 2 battery life would be nice guess they are in series instead of parallel with 2 battery bars. I take it that type series it will use one and then the other or how does that work.

ohhhhhhhh noooooooooooo you poor thing. Glad you found your cell phone still works though!

I hired an old Indian to do it

I'm a kinda old Indian, did a lot of dances, but don't recall that one! lol

If 'mikee' is me ... I don't have a VTC mini. We have eLeaf TC40's that we like but only use them in VW mode.

 

[2legsshrt]

OK thought you said you had one. Vape NW has some really good prices going on. I have heard they are really good for the money. Ni,Ti,SS manual TCR $39.99

What about chargers. Nitecore, Efest or Xtar which is best?

There was no already frozen stuff left LOL. We had finished off everything intentionally before we did this run. The result was though that the run was twice as big as usual since we went 6 months between em. Yep I am going to be repackaging stuff all day as I wait for the sealer to cool off.

The haul from yesterday in fresh meat alone that I have to repackage.
10 pound pork loin roast (split into 5)
16 pounds of ground Angus chuck
16 pounds of 1 inch thick boneless pork chops
16 pound of Angus eye of round roast
15 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 whole chickens

I also have to split into portions and seal frozen stuff that is in giant sams size bags
10 pounds of Italian meatballs
6 huge bags of various frozen veggies

It is gonna be a busy day

This trip wasn't so much about saving money as it was about getting us supplied with decent meat as the quality here in town is absolutely horrid. That supply will last us another 3-6 months and then we do it again.

definitely not Efest......I've always heard that Xtar are better than the nitecorp

It all sounds like some good eats!! If you have room and get worn out, you can, of course, save the veggies and meatballs for tomorrow when ya rest up a bit.

and don't forget to leave sumpthin out for tonite unless ya got that covered already

I have a few nitecore's. Work fine for me. But heard the xtar was good as well but a tad more expensive. Efest... no clue.

Regardless of our various maladies and infirmities, I feel safe in saying none would want the worst case scenario, since to be alive and at least able to raise a hand to Post .. .. is a far better scenario .. Do the best you can with what you've got is what I live by .. no self pity here, thank you ..

That said, it seems like an appropriate time to remember a few that didn't make it through this year .. mostly music related folks, that is ::

Ben E. King


Percy Sledge


Dallas Taylor .. Crosby, Stills & Nash drummer


Gary Richrath .. REO Speedwagon guitarist


Mr B.B. King .. survived by his beloved guitar, Lucille .. this is how I remember Mr. King ..


Cynthia Robinson .. co-founded Sly and the Family Stone ..
Legendary gospel singer Andrae Crouch of the The Disciples ...
Frankie Ford responsible for the 1959 hit "Sea Cruise,"...
Keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon, Three Dog Knight ...
Lynn Anderson .. "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden" ...
Lesley Gore .. No. 1 song at age 16 with "It's My Party," ...
Chris Squire .. Co-Founder of Yes ...
Billy Joe Royal "Down in the Boondocks" ..
Bob Burns .. Lynyrd Skynyrd founding member ...

And, a few more Entertainers .. Maureen O'Hara, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Loggia, Omar Sharif, Dick Van Patten, Wes Craven, Anne Meara, Alex Rocco

Did those lotto picks I posted work out for you .. ??

 

[Myrany]

Efest is awful

Nitecore my first one did not hold up well the 2nd one I can't kill

I never even tried Xtar because when I was looking the dang things confused the heck out of me. Not sure if it was writeups on the sites or its just more complicated to use.

Yep forgetting to leave something out for tonight is SO something I would do. Tonight supper angus burgers and baked beans with a nice tossed salad.

Yeah not sure if I will get to the veggies and meatballs. But that is ok too. they can stay in the freezer over the fridge until tomorrow if necessary.

Now that I am actually up and moving I am doing better though. We will see how far I get.

 

[Uncle Willie]

And lastly, an End of the Year Shout out to a couple folks that graced us with their Joys and Sorrows for Far, Far Too Short a Time ..

Debbie (my4jewels) .. the Worlds Biggest Toby Keith Fan .. Classic Margarita, Over Ice, Salt that Rim .. thinking of you ..


And to the Guy that should always get the Credit for Helping all of Us start on this Journey .. Randall Fortenberry .. TX .. I'm guessing that if there is an Afterlife, he's worn out a few pairs of Cowboy Boots swinging around the Dance Floor .. and flirted with his fair share of the Ladies .. salute, My Brother ..


Raise a Glass ..

Front-Porchers said I should watch this one too, so this is just a nothing-serious pop-in comment to get the ALERTS activated for this thread.
