Mason was barking outside. Sugar not concerned and napping in her leather chair. Mason kept it up just outside the back door, just beyond his pet door. Turning on the sanctuary bug light to investigate, I determined he must have been barking at that bright light up there, a couple of streets over. Dunno. Couldn't see anything.

HELP!! I think in a fit of cleaning madness I threw out something I might need. I got these like 6 washer things (they are small, and orange) and they were taped to my provari.

What ARE these things? Do I need them? Do I need them enough to dig through the trash, because I SO WILL even though that may suck. INFO NEEDED.

They're definitely outside in the trash, if they're anywhere. I was gonna ask about them but now I am asking frantically.

It's s Procyon.

Help. Gulp.

    Could they be the little washer things that we discussed before? Calling @DPLongo22

    These?

    Just a guess, sounds like spare o-rings that go underneath the center pin. You may/will eventually need one if the small orange washer thing beneath the center pin breaks or wears out. I've never had to replace one ... yet ... but can easily see a day coming.

    Yeah that is what I thought they might be. Sigh. To the trash I go. It should be a really fun time before I sit down to do my notes.

    The husband is being super cranky. He really needs to stop.

    Buy a sack of those rings for $2 and spare yourself the dumpster dive.

    I found them PLUS the endcap to one of my dentures that the husband glued in which I ALSO managed to um clean to extinction.

    So I have my round orange things and I can spare myself the trip to the dentist that would cost 500 bucks.

    I can't find the glue kit I bought EITHER of them. I swear. I'm gonna go out tonight.

    The husband gave me this horrible nasty PTSD induced lecture about how I sucked??? I think??? It was hard to tell but there was lots of yelling. He also is having a fit about evil doc... It reminds him of the origin of like, HIS PTSD with Bad Job. So he's all a dither.

    I am afraid I finally told him, "Look. I'm stronger than you. And by that, I mean I am more fluid and can bend. I'm definitely not as black and white as YOU, I'm also probably smarter."

    I just don't need someone who like, is gonna freak AT me about my job, I can do that plenty by myself. He asked me what he could do to help and I said, "The exact opposite of everything you ARE doing." Sigh.

    I mean, this is just.... a thing. It is not an all out war with the owner of the company (and justified, that guy was special. I told my husband I wouldn't have lasted a week at that job) but it's just different. I'm sure it would all be fixed.

    Where are they for $2? I only saw the bag of 100 for almost 10 bucks.
    I was just guessing on the price. :)

    My bud said it takes 2-3 days before the Termidor starts killing the ants. Gives them time to bring it back to the colony to share with their friends. Ants like to groom each other so when a few of them walk in the poison they go back home and give their buds a massage and pass it on. Also, he said you can disturb the ant mound before spraying it. Get yourself a long stick. :)

    Most cases, you can buy cheap or you can buy quality ... well, you can buy cheap quality too I guess. Thing is, most o-rings included with vape gear off the slow boat aren't generally considered the best and in some cases, or even good quality and those same o-rings are sold in other markets and after-markets as well. Maybe even as replacements on quality equipment. I'm not an o-ring guru and know not what to be aware of or issues of concern with rubber, silicone, buna and whatever other o-ring construction materials might be available ... and at the end of the day, wouldn't 100 o-rings of any material or quality last quite a long time? I do prefer silicone. Just seems easier to work with and is the most resilient.

    Buna has a self life of 8-10 years, silicone unlimited.

    Guns N' Roses: Appetite For Destruction
    CAUTION! Bragging Zone!
    The following pic is the first album cover for "Appetite For Destruction" Only the first 100,000 copies in USA were printed this way. Guess who has it on vinyl? :cool: It was so new, the record store had never heard of it and had to order it for me. :smokie:
