LOVE your porch! All that firewood. I love a fireplace. Inside or out, a fire, & a book = peace.

Dave, just for clarification, you think the tribute is some sort of worship and you're annoyed by it .. ?? I don't know if I'm really understanding your post ..
I love it too, but I must confess that is only my dream porch.. my real porch is a bit more bland than that! I have a table and two chairs, a swing that two can sit in comfortable, or three a bit more crowded, and an outdoor couch with bad upholstery... not as pretty as the picture!
I guess you have yet to spot my recliner ..

hahaha... nice recliner.. I am feeling much less self conscious now about my porch!
When I am done eating I will take a real porch picture!
Good Morning Porchers.
My wife decided we needed to add something different to our diet and started fixing Kale a few times a week to go with our dinner. I didn't really care for it but decided that being silent was the better thing to do. After about 4 months of this being a part of dinner, my wife said she was going to stop serving it. A bit surprised, I ask why and she admitted she found out it should have been cooked and she really didn't like it!
Well, time to head out and do some shopping. Have to pick up a birthday cake for my daughter. She is in a bit of a mid-life crisis. She is having a hard time accepting she is now 35. Or as she likes to say, 29 with shipping and handling. lol

For me it was when I hit 45.
That birthday about killed me. When my son turned 25 I had told him he was not allowed any more birthdays. He did not listen... so when he turned 30 (the year I was to turn 45) he called me up and laughed and said he was 30 now which meant I was officially old since he was officially old.. lol..
I have now learned how to deal with that as this year I got to the phone first and wished him a happy 30th birthday!
He will forever be 30 if it kills me! HA! And I shall have no more birthdays! hahaha
In a rare attempt at Healthy Lifestyle, I once bought a Juicer from Jack LaLanne when he was peddling them on an infomercial .. the primary ingredient was Kale, along with various other fruits and vegetables .. I choked down 3 glasses a day of this swill for a week no less .. deciding eventually that subjecting myself to self inflicted Inquisitional Torture which I felt was originally invented by Torquemada would fit the saying of "The Juice is Just Not Worth the Squeeze" .. however, I will say, it did have a "cleansing" effect ..
My general policy with the Ladies, whenever an age conversation comes up is to stick with "You don't look a day over 29" ..

As I recall......your first attempt with the juicer was a wonderful comedy event......with flying bits and things added that should have been peeled,,,,,but weren't.....
Cooked kale is good. Same as any other green. Chopped kale is in Olive Garden's Toscana Soup. Delicious!

Interesting results with getting back to vaping. I assumed that I would be chain vaping like crazy, but after the first day at home I've been vaping a lot less than I did before the hiatus. Can definitely tell from the amount of liquid I'm using and the time between charges.
It could be related to lack of flavor, since apparently prolonged steeping just makes my favorite flavors very bland. I've been using the Earl Grey tea pretty much right away after mixing, and my Burley Menthol Tobacco after a brief heating and about two weeks steeping. After three months the Earl Grey tea has lost almost all of the bergamot and the tea is very mild. Only a little bit more than the unflavored that I'm also using. The Burley Menthol, on the other hand, now tastes much more like smoking, which is not why I've kept using it. My experimental Julekaga has just gone bland, with the separate bread, fruit and cardamom flavors blended together so well that none of them can be identified within the mix.
I haven't decided yet whether to step down the amount of nicotine, with the probable result of vaping more often, and/or to increase flavors. I need to mix a batch soon, and will probably play around some.
Just realized that all of this post could have gone on the front porch, but I'll never get caught up there, even with skimming past all of the coil building posts. During my incarceration in the nursing home I was avoiding all of the more technical sub-forums since they just made me want to vape more than I already did. I did do the Innokin Disruptor contest post, and am happily tootle puffing along on my wonderful prize. It's way overkill for me, but it sure is pretty and I've been home for over a week and am only about halfway through the original charge. I have had it all the way up to a daring (for me) 12 1/2 watts.

Longer use from a battery is well worth the upgrade for me. Glad you won it! That's a great welcome home!Interesting results with getting back to vaping.

May be old and half forgotten but, damn if it doesn't look comfortable.I guess you have yet to spot my recliner ..
I tried to do two thumbs up and a peace sign but, for some reason it won't take. Even went back and edited it placing spaces between the characters. Maybe the ascii code isn't in the forums character set but, someone else used it just before I did. Oh well, PFM.
