Atrium Health has new questions in their inquiry ;
Do you vape ?
Does your vape contain nicotine ?
Does your vape contain flavorings ?
Does your vape contain CDB oil ?

Which, of course, leads to....

Wow, I didn't know vaping had been around that long !
How do you make your own liquid ?
Well, your blood oxygen is actually pretty good at 96%, considering....

    Somewhere between here and there
    Home today. Cannot lift my right arm. Shoulder hurts badly. Going to Urgent Care (aka the clinic) at 11:00 this morning. Reporting it through work, so it's all work comp from here.

    Did you lift something too heavy at work?


    OK, the first Stixx NETs I ever bought came from NicRiver and they sucked big time. Not sure if they were watered down or what but the flavors direct from Stixx are definitely not the same. There was one flavor in common in both orders which was the A+ NET so I'm quite sure they are not the same. As for the stuff from Stixx. Could be I just haven't hit the one I really like yet. At any rate the jury is still out.

    Maybe the stuff from nic river is just old stock? I'm tempted to order the teas again but from stixx.

    No, but strenuous force downward on a load bar to tighten ratchet for 4" load straps is routine. For some reason (I was thinking just getting old) securing my morning load before I left work late yesterday seemed a little sore.
    Midnight I woke up in pain. And I mean pain.

    I got the teas from Stixx. IMO they suck.

    I got a good recipe.

    When I bought pre-made juices I loved a juice called Don Juan Reserve by Kings Crest. It's a pecan pie inspired flavored ejuice with hints of chocolate. I have been trying to clone it since I started DIY and while this recipe isn't exactly like the original t is pretty good. Be warned, it requires a long steep. (6 weeks)

    Don Juan Reserve Clone V12

    Butter Pecan FW 9%
    Caramel FA 2%
    Cocoa FA .75%
    Maple Pecan FW 7%
    Smooth FA .50%
    Sweetener TPA 1%
    Yellow Cake FW 3%

    Not hardly. Four, maybe five more years and the mortgage is done, house is ours, and then maybe.
    Biceptular Tendinitis. One week of light duty, but "No Continued Grasping" (steering wheel), "No Repeated or Commonly Repeated Movements" (10 speed Eaton manual transmission), "No Truck Driving" (duh-h-h), "No Lifting, Pushing or Pulling in Excess of 5lbs" (are you $@&$!#& kidding me ?!?!?). Come back in one week.
    I read that off to the Transportation Manager and he said "Well, Guess you're off for a week."

    I hope you heal quickly


    I had to leave work early today. My wife called and said we lost power and when it came back on the furnace wasn’t working. I came home and tested the over temperature sensor and it was reading bad. Our furnace is old so I keep a few parts on hand. I put in a new sensor and we’re up and running. I have an air induction motor for it that I’ve been meaning to install but have been putting it off. I’ll get to it one of these days.

    Wishing that mortgage could be paid in less time. Good luck.

    Smart thing to have spare parts

    Why is it the prettiest, sexiest, more desirable nurse only comes to give you a shot in the .... cheek ?

    Try letting her give you an ultrasound of the testicles after a horrific (to us) motocross crash. In case anyone was wondering they use that real thick gel when doing it.

    I have a 13th version (lol) steeping using Capella's butter pecan. Some of my other versions focused on the graham cracker part of the original eliquid I was trying to clone. The graham cracker with the pecan flavors combined for a grainy harsh note that was not desirable. The smooth could not even tone it down... When I replaced graham cracker with FW yellow cake it gave it more of the pie crust note I wanted. FW yellow cake at low percentages kind of gives the flavor of those animal crackers in the little circus boxes.

    Tough to get old Pops.

    I believe I read several Stixx reviews where they mentioned Ty increased his concentration levels at one time.

    Tell your boss to slap an Allison transmission in your truck.

    I had a super cute young girl cleaning my teeth the other day. Sweet little thing. And there I was on my back with my piehole wide the hell open. As cute as that little hygienist morsel was I was as equally not cute. Oh well.
