i never see that, since it's in my hand all day. I can even type pretty well if i hang on with my bottom 2 fingers and use the others.

I was going to clean it yesterday but events and idleness overtook me.

As for the button adjustment, it's child's play - HRH uses Efests, an odd AW - normal sized gear. The fat insulator along with the existing one is ideal for her.

I have not had to adjust my Orbies at all and i roll with the SX30s. Oh and i use silica wick which will taste a bit grim if dry hit, but it'll not kill it. I don't get many of those because i am rather generous with my juice, vaping about 12 ml a day.

And here's a "history" behind his segmented wood tips:

Hello! I've got two lovely wood tips today (so far.) :D The first up is a brand new type of tip that I adore! You see, this is the kind of work that Doug has done for years and I've wanted to see it done in a drip tip so I'm pretty excited about it! Lots of wood turners do segmented turning, but Doug came up with the concept of 'random segmented turning' about 20 years ago. (If you see any random segmented turning, it is either his work or a copy. Yep. I'm a proud wife. :wub: :D )

So, he has taken this concept:

and turned it into this:
Random Segmented - Big Leaf Maple, Silver Maple, Red Maple, Mahogany and Sapele SOLD

btw: I just whipped open my EXCEL spreadsheet and threw him in there along with materials requests, run #, etc. (been workin' on that last couple weekends)

i am SO together! :2cool:


what this also means is, if someone wants to throw random but pertinent information at me, I can actually put it somewhere manageable, and edit if things change.

Cool! So (assuming BF is for me) my 2nd will be:

Code:
natural=RAND(maple, walnut, mahogany, olive, amboyna, madrone)*RAND(straight-grained,burl)
stabilized=RAND(red,green,blue(RAND(natural))
wood=RAND(natural,stabilized)
caps=RAND(RAND(richlite(RAND(black,grey)), wood))
plate=RAND(alu,cu)
510=RAND(SS,brass)

or

Code:
Pertinent Information=(RAND(RAND(maple burl, walnut, mahogany, olive, amboyna, madrone),RAND(red,green,blue(RAND(natural))),RAND(RAND(richlite(RAND(black,grey)), wood)),RAND(alu,cu),RAND(SS,brass))

so

Code:
DibiMod=RAND(Pertinent Information)

(Note: This formula should not be used in a life-critical situations. It was created in a 6+ double whiskey state and will likely not compute under any other conditions.)


ETA: DibiMod=RAND(Pertinent Information)+RAND(Molehill Mountain Drip Tip)

This one, though totally unique, reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright. WOW! And what a salad bowl set that must be!

You, creator of all things Oliver-ish Dibi-ish... crack me up!!! :D

Dennis - your 5th new avatar in 4 days is displaying a miserable grasp of coil building technique! Duals with a resistor indeed ;)

LOL, while you are correct about my coil-building skills, i chose that one for its educational value.


have i mentioned that i'm a failed college teacher?
