Well he owned vape shop shares before, so it appears he now knows which horse his backing.

FIRST we kill ALL the horses. Wait, that's not fair.

FIRST we kill Scotty Gottlieb. I'm calling him that from now on until he's dead. Then we pick off the other politicians one by one.

It's a tough job but there was no inadvertent vape injury today at ALL! I appear to be very resilient, my .... anyway.

That came out wrong. But I AM ready to climb on MY STOLEN horse, and light the fiery sword of eternal flame and head toward him. I won't even fidget a little bit.

And no for those of you fixated on a particular canal, I am NOT interested. Give me time to heal emotionally for god's sake.

Hey, Anna, think you got problems? I can't breathe! One of my concentrators (yep have two of them piggybacked - I'm prescribed 15LPM - look that one up) went out tonight and it's a Saturday (totally after hours). Plus, Jackie was at work. The Holy Spirit moved in like a Ninja! Ok, maybe it was the angel in charge of this sector but all praise and glory to God!
Tried calling the 800 number on the machine and was disconnected twice! 3rd time someone answered , I said (oxygen deprived), "This is the 3rd attempt first two I was disconnected, not good!" Keep in mind this is after their system told me to hold for assistance. The girl says back to me, "I got other patients in the world!" Yep... I told her, "Ma'am, when you can't breathe, nothing else matters." She changed her tune when I could barely get my name and address out. You can bet I got her name. Had to ask her to spell it as I was writing it down.
Well, dude on call swapped it out for a inferior one that can't handle the back pressure of the superior one but it got me to the shower and will get me to sleep. I have a O2 headache now. Going to fix that. Right after I sign off. A good thing is the service manager is on call tomorrow covering for someone so I can call him and ask they bring that concentrator back right after they give it the once over. They are due here on Wednesday to swap out used tanks for freshies, I'll work with them on that.
I came down from my shower and told Jackie, "We need to give thanks to the Lord, I'm still here!"
Steel -- when the alarm on the bad concentrator was going off, I was sitting next to it. Steel came in and just stared at me. I mean, he just stared at my eyes. I know some of you don't believe this, but he had a worried look on his face like he always gets when I am oxygen deprived and Jackie has to tell him I'm alright. After dude left and everything settled down, I sat in the living room Lazy Boy to get it together and catch my breath (pun intended), Steel came and covered my feet by laying down over the top of them. My puppy dog loves me and I love my puppy dog!

Too bad Steel can't place a sharply worded phone call on your behalf.
I know, right? I can picture it, propping phone up under his ear with his paw saying, "Woof, woof, bark, bark, grrr, bark, woof, bark, grrrrr, oowooooooo, owooooooooo, woof, bark, woof!"
Translation: "My master was having a hard time and you kept hanging up on him! We were here all alone, I'm just a dog and couldn't do jack .... for him. My mouth wouldn't fit his for resuscitation if he needed it, who do you think you are? I was scared! I love Daddy and if I ever see you, I hope him and Mama know who you are when I bite your leg so they don't slap me! I love my Daddy and my Daddy loves me!"

This is why out sourcing call centers is such a bad idea. "I got other patients in the world," she said.

I am very glad you are okay.

I do got problems, 99 of um. I got 99 problems but a coil ain't one.

EVEN as it happened though I was like "Well, it made it this far, it's probably FINE."

My issues are nothing like not being able to BREATHE and I sincerely hope Steel fixies it for you ASAP even if he has to go on a little trip and do some BITING.

Don't buy the Zanflare C4 charger / tester

Last night I charged four 18650's. Everything functioned normally until I removed the fully charged batteries. Bay 3 thinks there's still a battery in there and display flashes between "NULL" and random charging information.

Not sure but I think maybe the Chinesium in bay 3 is wack.

Warranty is 30 day replacement and 2 year maintenance. Luckily I'm still in the replacement window and will contact Zanflare tomorrow during business hours for return authorization.

The entire charger scene has gotten pretty confusing recently. Mooch has begun his testing of various models, and in the 3 or 4 well-known models he's finished so far, all had some sort of problem. Some got too hot (the charger board itself), some were somewhat inaccurate, and some shut off charging too soon. I'm going from impressions here, but it seems like the one that has performed the best so far is really annoying in getting it to do simple standard things, and maybe doesn't have the ability to display important information.

I had great performance from my original Nitecore for a few years until it began to smell hot when charging. So I tried a couple of Xtars. The most recent one is having problems less than a year later. I never charge just a single battery, so these only get used maybe once or twice a week.

When I first started supporting his Patreon thing and he asked what the donors would like to see, my immediate choice was for him to sort out which chargers did the job and which ones simply talked the talk. So far, nothing has stood out as an instant "buy it" choice.
