Ken, really, I was wondering what happened to you. I get where you're coming from, it's been a very tough winter here also. We live in the woods, 0ver 95% of the trees on our property are now dead. There goes the ecosystem and natural cooling in the summer. We'll probably lose our home over 20 years, landlord suddenly wants to sell it for an outrageous price. El Whacko is in a lot of pain but we can't afford afford to fix him up as he should be. Got a spare $10,000-$14,000 dollars? Still hoping the other meds kick in for him. Crown popped off two nights ago and the tooth is so decayed they'll probably pull it. Can't afford to have it replaced. Gaining weight like a well fed pig because I haven't gotten the surgery done on my leg, so can't really exercise, because I'm worried about losing the house/moving and the dog. The worrying is taking its toll. I get it, really I do. It's such a relief to know people people care and are on your side. You don't have to believe me but please believe all the others that have said they've wondered and been concerned about you.

Look on the bright side ... you've got your pick of things to worry about ... seriously sorry to hear right now things aren't going good for you ... but try to remember it won't always be this way ... and you've got all the support and prayers from us porchers coming your way.

Are the trees dying from the mountain pine beetle plague? When we visit our daughter in Colorado, it's just devastating to see acres and acres of dead trees do to the infestation of the pine beetle.

That's not true. You got me started thinking about a REO mod and probably half of the others as well..:lol::lol::D By the way did I mention that I like my REO Mini:)

Kinda like driving a Old VW, and a new Driver says to you; when do you shift? :rolleyes: You go; oh you'll know when. :lol: Well a Reo is kinda like that. When you first start out a question arises. When will I know to change out the Battery since it doesn't have an indicator? Then that little VW voice goes off and says.....:rolleyes: Oh you'll know.....:lol::w00t::shock:
Most people know when to change the battery on a REO. Until I started subohming on one I never did. I never noticed the change in the vape over 1 ohm until the battery was BAD drained (like 2.7 volts). I had to figure out how much of a bottle = change battery.

Incidental story about stick shift cars. I ALWAYS drove stick shifts until about 1984 when dad gave me a buick. Then when I sold the buick I got a tracer that was a stick. It was having some issues so my brother in law drove it one day to see if he could figure out what was wrong. First thing he said was OMG this is a freaking stick. Followed by Holy S___ YOU can drive a stick?" Like it was the most miraculous thing on the planet. I still laugh about that.

Yes Myrany I must agree it takes a minute to figure out when to change out the Battery. Especially when you're not familiar with the type of Battery so you don't know what to expect from either one. LOL Driving in the dark with a vehicle that your not familiar with. Oh! Oh! :shock: Like seeing these young folks driving while Texting:eek::danger:
Good story by the way; gave me a chuckle:D

Good to see you Wolf! Hope all is well with you and yours. Legs is going to be over the moon with your post. :)
So sorry you are going through this time of uncertainty, Tutu. My prayers. Think of Job, and count your blessings.

The last time I saw Legs, he posted that he was dying. I don't know whether he was depressed, or feeling very poorly. He needs our prayers.

Yeah. Missing Legs. Hope he's ok.

He and Janet were just convo'ing. He's still kicking but having a tough time ... said he just doesn't feel up to posting lately as he's been feeling pretty down.

So good to see that it was mostly depression. He knows we are all praying for him.

hehehe jup. I was nervous about mechs til I got a REO. Now I love it. Nothing to adjust, no chips to go out, just vape and enjoy. It's great going for months and spending nothing on vaping

Where's the fun in that?? :lol:
