    Good morning mixologists!

    Day 3 of 7 am my body is begrudgingly cooperating. I am not planning for much today. I'm kind of worn out, probably just some shopping. Gosh, I should have asked my Creator to be my flesh for longer, dude, I ACHE from head to foot. It's okay though. There's not a thrilling amount of much I can do honestly because like, everyone I need to call is shut. House chores, coiling a few tanks, you know, the usual.

    I feel slightly better today and @FranC you are right, we will do what we have to when the time comes. No point fretting NOW.

    In any case, day 3 is okay that's usually when it starts to be tolerable. I am going to vacuum up every dead venomous cockroach they are all DEAD have not seen a live one in some time but that is usually what happens after we raid.. They are all still near the perimeter which means to me, anyway, they are coming in from outside. I MUST say I really detest how cockroaches die on their backs with their revolting little feet UP. Sigh. Oh well, I won't be dealing with roving bands fo cockroaches too much longer so there is that. The husband has heard tales of the "Mexican cockroach" (IDK what that is, but he says that is what we have and they are bad news. etc.)

    If I get antsy today I shall just think of mountains and tall trees and fireflies and stuff. Whatever.

    I am still wanting to try a few more mixes impatiently but I am making me wait but MOM juice (okay that sounded wrong but there is a company named Mother's Milk (also so wrong) so whatever.

    It needs to steep though no fair blaming @FranC for her partial recipe to soon. I try to be fair :lol::lol:

    No fever last night, woke up with a mild one but I am mostly ignoring those until later in the day. Sometimes they leave on their own though.... .Coughing still subsiding.

    ALSO I don't like to toot my own horn too much but rednneck vapebox is working. Since implementing it, I have dropped ONE mod. ONE. It was my fault too, it as in my lap.

    So far so good.

    I’m also very glad you’re going to put off the worries for now. Negotiation on your start date first and proceed from there.

    Not really. The Xtra is ok for mtl and geekvape is going to be coming out with a good mtl pod soon. I got a prototype to test but they are making some changes. Also, I’m supposed to get the maxpod soon which is small so I’d assume it’s mtl.
    Well I wouldn’t mind having another MTL pod as long as it has plenty of air and the pods not super expensive .

    I am an airy MTL person, too tight a draw... Meh. Yep, it's kinda central/northern. Tourism in the summer, there's a well known kayaking river and other outdoor stuff. I have been there, and I like it.

    We shall see....

    Anna
    No we ain’t going to “see” anything. You are sure you will love it there.......remember?

    Even though I’m MTL I still have to have plenty of air. I don’t like a tight draw.
    I really like the Smok Nord, the 1.4 ohm coil provides a nice MTL. The Vaporesso Podstick is also pretty great, it has adjustability and a unique push to fill design.

    I had a Podstick but just wasn’t for me. I sent it to a friend and she loves it. I have one Smok product that I like ok but can’t remember what it is without looking. Not really in a hurry for another Smok product.

    I just meant see about WHEN I get there. Of course I will love it there, and things will work out great. I might cheer me up in a bit doing a search in Zillow of what amazing estates are available to me. I can buy more house than 70k if I want (although honestly you can get a decent house out of town for that.) I don't mind extending my commute a bit because the government is sane and gives you a 30 minute lunch. I HATE those 9 hour days especially the ones where you are so insanely busy you have to work THROUGH lunch.

    You better look for a nice house with a barn for animals and enough land to keep neighbors far away.

    The Starss Romeo uses Nord coils, here it is beside a Podstick and a Kbox Mini TC for size comparison. It has three levels of adjustability and airflow control, after using it for months I have come to really enjoy it.

    I have several of the podsticks and really like them. I keep two at work for pocket carry.

    I’ve got a couple you could try and extra pods. If you don’t like them then you could regift them or throw them away.

    To me, that is not super expensive with a reasonable down payment which we SHOULD have. Although I have taken a MILD pay cut, don't forget we have been maintaining two houses, my mortgage is like 800 the house in Douglas is 900 and it's OLD so it EATS electricity--think uh, 300-450 a month and well, I was still able to pay off debt and to put 30K into the house.

    When I buy my final house, it is going to be one I WANT. Seriously I don't know how we did it but we did. I can't wait to pay for ONE thing.

    Fortunately (the husband was freaking about renting) I was able to find perfectly serviceable HOMES IN Clarksburg like 0 miles away, and I think it will all be fine.

    I'm not going to skimp on my final home and while I could buy a POS for far less, I refuse to do it this time. NOT after our last house, NO work needed. Honestly, houses at that price with what se SHODLD make on the Tucson hosue, well the mortgage will be about the same.

    So there is cheap, and there is cheap. Imagine buying one of those suckers in Potomac. It would be millions of dollars if you could even FIND one. Etc.

    There was cheap stuff but I am just DONE with issues. LOL.

    Good points. Also a couple you linked are very old and would be good to have the husband check out any like that. Either that or make sure you can get anything wrong fixed for long enough.

    Eh there's always tons popping up and Zillow is pretty lame compared to like a real estate agent who knows the area. The husband can check things out but usually the mortgage company wants you to get a home inspector and whatnot. Yeah some are very old. There was this PEBBLY stone one that was too cool but it was built in the 1950s. It was just fun looking for now./
