I have found that my trigger lives in my car. When I get in it I have an almost unbelievable urge to light up. I just vape it away but it surprised me as to how powerful the urge is. Maybe it is because I've not managed to get all the odor out of it yet. Note to self: Clean this car....

I found an air Ionizer that you can plug into your lighter outlet in the car - cleaned the smell right out of mine...and I *always* smoked with the windows UP. Now you'd never even know it! This is exactly what I have in my car. Found a better link - and it's in Massachusetts! Mini Auto Car Air Purifier Ionizer Oxygen Bar | eBay $3.95 free shipping!

Morning All, and welcome to Chico'smum, a lot of good people here hope you'll join in and share a some stories.

Excellent pictures of that hummingbird Janet! Have you thought of a second career as a wildlife photographer?

TJ, that guy looks like proof that birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs, I'm not sure I'd enjoy him peering in my window first thing in the morning.

The postman was nice and brought me two 18650 batteries for the ProVari, just put one in and I'll see if I can go all day without having to change it. I was able to salvage the juice from my tank last night after the carto died, why couldn't it have died before I filled the tank? I guess it's proof that Murphy and his Law are hard at work.

I've got to finish up some stuff for work that ran overnight and then attach myself to the lawnmower for a few hours. But I may goof around for a while first.

Catch you all later!

We had the tripod set up on the deck with the camera focused on the feeder so I could just sit there and snap when they came by. Mike is the photographer though and he does a fabulous job.

Course there are birds in the yard, and then there are ..................

Whoa! That's a big one. Don't think he'd fit in my hand.

I rememer pay phones well being as that was one of the jobs with the telephone company for a while. I installed them and collected the money from them. I covered Elko County which is the whole northeast Nevada area and the most interesting part of the job was collecting the money from the pay phones in all the brothels they have in that area, I think there were 14 of them at that time. I had to collect them once a week during hunting season instead of once a month as normal. lol So ladies never let your husband go hunting in NE Nevada unless you go with them. Excellent deer hunting though with big Mulies.
We were the last phone company to charge five cents for a call and that was in 1978. We stll had lots of party lines there and they probably still do. We still had operators also into the late 80s when I left.

My dad "knew someone" from the phone company. Wow, he actually installed extra phones for us. What a big deal back then.

Whoot! New juice. Just got my 1st order from Kick Bass Vapor.

Been painting baseboards and trim molding all afternoon. Waiting to sit down and try the new juice that arrived. Liking it all.

• RY4 - I think I'm gonna like this one
• Refreshing Cantaloupe - a pleasing vape, next time I think more flavor, only taste it mildly
• Mint Truffle Shuffle - this is good too. Might be the nicest mint/chocolate I've tried, with a hint of coolness aftertaste.

Mike, let me know. I just discovered Kick Bass, just the RY4 thanks to Passerbyus who sent me a little bit! I want a gallon now.

Have you seen the new wood carto tanks made by Lewis Gentry? Here is a picture of the Cocobolo dct. I don't have one yet but I'm probably going to talk myself into it soon. lol

Hide that picture from Rave and Jewels!

That Atari reminds me of my son's childhood. We had a Commodore 64. When he was 8 years old, I would read him the BASIC programs in the back of Qlink magazine. We would take turns typing in the code (strings of 5 numbers and letters) and reading. At the end you would get a cute little program. The Commodore was actually a pretty advanced computer for its time. It was color, for one thing! And when you added the two 64K (hahahah) hard drives, you hit the big time.

Fast forward to today, and my son was lucky enough to go to a math and science high school, where the founders of Netscape, PayPal, and YouTube went to school, and the rest is history! He got to compile the code for Netscape, the first free browser!!
He comes in at about 18:37 until 20:00 - the kid with the blond streaks! He got to work at PayPal, and some other places, and now Facebook! I am so proud of him!!!!!

Thank you so much for that vid, I never understood what went on behind the scenes of the internet technology, now i have some idea just how much dedication goes into it. Very informative vid.

A big welcome to you, hope you like the group.

So glad you liked the video! It really was interesting, I watched the whole thing. Most browsers weren't public domain until Netscape went public with the source code. I think that first build was called Mozilla, which is now Firefox. Whenever I have a glitch with Google Chrome not printing something on my Mac, and Safari not working, I call up Firefox which always seems to work.

Shameless vendor plug for the newbies:

Hands down, the best customer service, inexpensive, and the best tasting juices for me is Nite Lite Vapor. https://www.nitelitevapor.us/shop/c...knvWmgX0M0EQBa89LltLkiWktI3w&shop_param=cid=&
Prices - 3.50 for 10 ml, 10.00 for 30 ml, also there are larger sizes available.

My favorites are:
Line Rider - Tobacco
Vanilla Strait - Yummy pure vanilla, tastes similar to Gooey Butter Cake from Alt-Cig
Renegade - Sweet dessert tobacco, a bit spicy
Litehouse - Exotic tobacco
NLV Gold - Can't describe, but I love it. The Cadillac of juices.
Bounty Hunter - Can't describe, but on the top to juices of 2011 here.
Twilite - Delicious unsweet tobacco

I have a few of those Jc from Nite Lite and you are right SandyBeach they are tasty.
Also for Newbies try Backwood Brews Jc- he makes some very good jcs.
I been trying to get my hands on some BWB RY4-I have a ad in the classified for about 6 days and no one is answering and I don't usually try this method in getting jcs but its that good. Just wish someone would answer so I can get some more.
There are so many companies with their special jc, its a journey looking for your favorite sometimes.


P.S. If anyone have or know someone who have BWB RY4 direct them my way.

So much for goofing off this morning.

Checked into work on a database restore I was doing overnight...FAIL! Just glad it was for testing and not production, so we'll try again tonight.

Went to check my email...FAIL! Email server crash, there went a couple of hours fixing that.

And while I was working on that Mrs. Tiny is in the kitchen baking Chocolate Chip cookies. Talk about a distraction! She's going to visit a sick friend so she's taking them with her, oh the torture! (I did sneek a a couple of them, purely for Quality Assurance testing )

Somewhere in all this I did get the DCT going again and vaped some Caramel Candy to combat the baking cookies. The house smells like a bakery now.

Off to cut the grass.

 

[andel11]

Tiny

So the cookies past the taste test? Haha, hope everything else works out with your fixing your database problems.

 

[Semiretired]

I gotta move closer to Wisconsin so Tiny can share (LOL)...

Anyone keeping up with the Lori and Blu purchase thread - it is getting interesting - seems Philip Morris is also doing a 3 month study... So you do not have to refind the link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/290817-lorillard-purchases-blu-e-cigs.html

 

[Uncle Willie]

Play the top link first / then play the second link .. when playing the second link, substitute 1969 when Kid sings 1989 ..

Oh, and mix up a margarita of whatever your relaxant of choice is on a lazy Sunday afternoon ..

I just wish they would give me 135 million

I'd like to use the 'trigger' argument to get out of doing it, but I don't think it would fly with Mrs. Tiny. I couldn't do it most of last summer because of my busted ankle being in a boot so she had the duty. I think I'll take Old Hippy's suggestion of hooking up a PV to a lanyard so I can vape while mowing.

Good morning all, almost afternoon here, I slept in this AM.

Tiny I have a lanyard for my mini LT that I put on when I get up and take off when I go to bed. lol It has become like a piece of clothing. I use other PV's also but that one is always filled and handy.

 

[my4jewels]

Thanks, Willie! I love both of those songs!!

 

[Semiretired]

I have caught myself listening to two or three when Willie posts the song of the day by selecting one of the next ones it offers up to listen to...
