I bought a mod today not a provari but I have been stalking it. Got it for a song at the last mod.

I know it's not a provari, but it is me all over. LOL. Lots to celebrate I had a great day in SO many ways. I'm a little worried it is getting TOO great, maybe it's time to do the final Valium UP but I so want to wait until Friday night SIgh,

Of course I had to try out the mod I had no intentions of buying.
Of course the vape is fantastic ... it's a ProVari :)

Dude, I had to look that UP. Very calming. It uh, well, reminded me that the husband is not here.
I kinda got it super cheap (for it) but yes, IDK what to do. Talk to my doc, probably.

Man, Evil Doc let me see 10 of his kids today. Perhaps he truly is ready to adopt me into the fold as I got NO Clue with that man.

Perhaps it is because I finally asked about his car, and had a 20 minute conversation with him about Trek bicycles and the one I used to like, ride 128 miles from Potomac to Mt Vernon and back. We bonded. You can't hate a Trek owner if you love Trek (although you can hate Lance Armstrong a LOT even though you're like YEAH everyone DOPED he just did it BETTER) bikes, so perhaps that was it. It was an interesting chat where like, we could have been paying to performance improvement measures.

You just can't hate a lover of Trek bicycles if you were Born in the Trek era (we are about the same age) they were just The Best.

LOL. I look upon that 15 minutes as a performance improvement measure of my LIFE.

Ugh. I fell asleep on the couch, managed to call my supervisor before 8 then slept until 10. This was after taking all my meds and coffee and etc. This does not EVER happen but like, it did. Not too sure what is happening other than the stupid taper. I figure I shall try to enjoy today (the rest of it) since I am (unhappily actually) off work.

I can't wait to get switched over but IDK if doing the Final Taper is a good idea or a bad one. I kind of think good since I woke up feeling like puking. It's usually a sign (for me) of not enough etc. Sigh.

Guess there's no good answer, and oh well, my boss knows how stressed out I am. She's been kind of super nice about it, actually.

I have to say, I want to get it over with.

I did it!! I did it! My V4 Exo tank is not FLOODED! I shoved more rayon in there than I believed was possible but it is vaping great-- I LIKE IT!

Now, I have to understand why on earth must one carefully not overwick BOTTOM air atomizers, but one must overwick the HELL out of top air atomizers.

It makes zero sense to me but like, I am pleased with my new friend. Heh.

Yoga soon.

AND I realized the coffee pot like broke INSIDE the plastic bag so it's kind of a win for me. I may or may not (probably may) take all the plastic bits out especially the top part because I think it has something to do with how coffee goes in there. Then, I can shove my bowl below it, and get decent coffee, perhaps.

Yea yeah, it has all the hallmarks of a possible disaster (probably.)

I wish the Starbucks at the safeway would deliver to my house.

Well the coffee pot is fixed; I even tested it with water.

I'm not saying it's going to work tomorrow morning, but I hope it does. I would have a stab at programming it but somehow the manual got totally soaked and well, IDK. It's outside, drying. But, I have a working coffee object with a nice plastic basket that used to be a greek yoghurt contain to catch my coffee.

We'll see.

I make about 30 ounces of coffee every morning, it is set to brew on a timer. This one is starting to get old, as a mater of fact the top of it came apart about a year ago, I taped it back together, and it works fine. I do have a small back up machine, that will make 15 ounces if the other completely quits. One of the things I learned from Vaping, have a backup. :|

Not by me they can't.

I'm telling you. The urn. Although I do love the taste of French Press coffee a LOT. I am leaning that way, honestly.

It's just like, the sooner I get my coffee, the less terrible things happen. The coffee urn timer was SUPER reliable and it HAD to be. It takes time to percolate.

I am the same way. Until I have coffee in the morning, sometimes I have to stop and think about which way the faucet needs to go to get cold water and not hot.

Sounds like it's too late for you this time around, but after years of use I am still enthused about my Bunn RapidBrew. They have this thing scienced out so the right amount of the right temperature water hits the coffee grounds and flows through for the right length of time. The water is held in the tank at the correct temp so no need to wait for it to warm up. You pour in the cold water and close the lid, it then forces out the hot. It pours through much faster than any other drip I've ever used.

It does have a bit of a drawback since it needs to use their own filters. Nothing exotic there, but they are maybe 1/2" taller than everybody else has. So if you use the 99 cent ones, the water is coming in so fast the thing can get messy, even overflowing out of the basket sometimes.

And since I make a pot and drink it through the morning, the other part of the equation comes into play. It has a very good thermos carafe, and no warming plate at all. Even a couple hours after it's brewed it can sometimes still be too hot to just drink down. Without the warming plate, I no longer have to suffer through the burned taste after it's been brewed for a while. It has consistently made great coffee for years.

In a nod to good ole DPLongo, this is my contribution to the "and beyond" for this week.
