YAY!!!!!
My vamo still has one section stuck but I reached the realization that I just do not care enough to fight with it anymore. It is still usable just with a more limited battery selection.
You know this state is supposed to be the Apple capital of the world and you can't get a decent apple anywhere. They ship them out. $4.99 a pound for Honey Crisp. Gimme a break. But the cost of living hasn't gone up as far as retirement checks. If we went to Wenatchee you can buy them at the cold storage places cheap. But not here.
I may have to try one of those Pures the thing is I like to have multiple flavors ready to vape and so far the price is going to be $120 not sure about the replacement coils but you wouldn't need alot of them if they last 3 months like they say. I am sure they are going to come out with a FW upgrade that will allow vaping it. The ML already has a special mode for it and they came out with a new SXI software for the S,and M so I am reasonably sure if you have and SX you are going to be able to use it. The Q should be out any time now. I am a YiHi Fanboy if you hadn't figured that out yet. The IPV5 is also going to have a setting for it. That IPV5 sounds like a lower cost version of the ML and Q. I'm sure the chip is no where near as good as the SX450 but it is a YiHi330-200 so it is bound to be good. And you can also buy a kit and build an ML which might even be better. It's a Renegade X here is one one of the guys put together
I live a couple hours northeast of you and we have apples, cherries and peaches growing in our valley. It really sucks that we pay 2.49 a pound for what I consider culls at the grocery stores. We ate up our supply of honeycrisp (30 lbs) about a month ago and not going to spend that kinda money on mealy grocery store apples. The honeycrisp apples we were eating were the size of softballs and rock hard we got from a local orchard. We have lived here for 20 years and this is the first year we have had honeycrisp apples and they kick the crap out of Spartans for taste and texture.

I don't blame them. Not in areas where new unreleased products are. I wonder if this new tank is going to be like that ceramic tank that kid developed.Thought I'd share this with you I guess they wouldn't let Busardo in on his China trip.
It's like they are determined to keep our standard of living at poverty level. We can afford gas now, but it doesn't free up any $$ because rent & food keep going up. Increases in the cost of food are blamed on fuel prices, but when fuel prices go down, food keeps going up.

Well since oil fell, companies noticed that they're making more money since they have less fuel costs. That's no reason to not make more money right? Like... who's gunna notice?
I think I posted this before...
Dear Mr. Unknown Blogger,
I heat my home with oil and to save a few bucks I clean our furnace by myself. Since oil is so expensive these days I'd like to know if it's possible to reclaim a few drops I spilled while cleaning it.
Dear Mr. Stupid,
First of all, if you do spill oil anywhere you should realize that you must immediately report it to the EPA. (Environmental Protection Agency - Mental being the operative word here) Dialing 911 is perfectly acceptable here. They will cheerfully come out to your home (in proper attire, sirens blaring, coffee cups in hand) and help you get rid of any drops you have carelessly spilled for a nominal fee (Only a few thousand dollars per man, per drop, generally a 35 man* minimum, or the amount of people they can cram into your home and still continue to breath. Whichever is greater.). Also, you must keep track of exactly how many drops were spilled to report to the oil companies so that they can adjust their prices accordingly. Usually the gas pumps nationwide, as a rule of thumb, show approximately a one penny increase per drop lost by a homeowner. (Obviously it depends on the size of the drop as well, so you need to report whether it was big drops or little drops.) Of course, if you do manage to reclaim it, there is no price reduction. Sadly, they regret that they forgot to put a reverse on the signs. They are vigorously investigating the oversight and give their word that within 400 years it will be corrected. Probably. (aka maybe, but don't hold your breath in oil company legalese)
*Note. It should be noted that the men may be replaced with women, however, due to sexual harrassment laws the genders may NOT be mixed in a situation such as this. Also, please note that if the correct amount of (if chosen) women (since there are less women in this field) cannot be made immediately available, your home will be quarantined until they can produce the amount required. Generally not more than a 5 year waiting period. This can be, of course, to your advantage because as people age, they get fatter. Therefore the cost per person to you is reduced if you go over the 35 woman (in this case) minimum.

Thanks for trying. The mangy beagle doesn't love us anymore?
Same here. I've pretty much settled on the side of wishing they hadn't changed, but the fact that junk food tastes terrible now keeps me from crashing on that side of the fence.
Funny you should mention doggie gas, that's when I knew my world had been turned upside down. Dog took up dump upwind and I gagged, literally. Life hasn't been the same since, not to mention that the uphill neighbor's leech field is now a toxic waste site. Some things you can't unsee, others you can't unsmell. It's the only downside to quitting smoking.
Are you having any problems with the vitamin D3? Doctor told me to take it and it took a while to figure out it was making me feel like I was having a caffeine OD, shakes and the whole nine yards. Bones are strong, and want to keep them that way, but blood test showed I was low in D.
When are you moving here? Just so you are aware, Californians hat the term Cali. Try CA or Calif. for substitutes. Not a native Californian but been beat up enough over the years that Cali makes me cringe now. We are getting rain again now so at least you won't die of thirst out here.
Mod saved!!!
Glad you got it unstuck! Freezer did the trick?YAY!!!!!

I've gotten a few bases/tanks stuck and finally used one of those floppy rubber things to get a good grip on them. They're made for getting jar lids off. Cut a couple of narrow strips off the thingies just for that purpose. They're like these http://www.amazon.com/Good-Cook-2-P...86&sr=8-5&keywords=rubber+jar+opener+grippers

Yep, it's a crime. Prices bad enough in central California, but when we go to Oregon it's severe sticker shock. My parents had a bunch of pear, apple, etc. trees in Oregon. The apples from one tree were to die for, not a term I use lightly. They gave us a bunch to take home but when we crossed into Calif the AG guys said we couldn't take them through. We sat in the parking lot and ate all of them, 6-8, and gave them the cores to prove we didn't have anymore.
Low D3 can contribute to depression and fatigue. Probably connected, in our part of the world, to seasonal affective disorder.
I think the WD was the biggest factor in getting them unstuck. Got it out, used pliers. Went to convenience store, got the WD, sprayed it on, put them back in the freezer, and tried with the pliers. They weren't necessary. Almost as good as new-- scratch marks.
Cali is fewer strokes on the keyboard.
Don't know when, but the stars say within the next month or so.
