Pretty good? That's a whole lotta fish! How many pounds would "really good" be?
Really good would be to get 15,000 in one day, and then go back out the next day and get 15,000 more... and so on, and so on. Makes for some long days.

Morning merry mixers, and even the moaning mixers ;) (Nah, I've never made a tipo :) )

Rain continues, although yesterday for us was only scattered showers. Looks to be soggy most of the day. Thankfully, a bunch of it has made it across the mountains, so some help with the fires in eastern WA as well.

Yes on the flu shot! No, it's not 100% effective, and some years they target a strain that doesn't show up, but in general a benefit. Also, in general, if it doesn't prevent it it does make it less of an ordeal. And if you're "of an age", yeah, yes on the pneumo shot as well.

Morin' . . .

For what it's worth, personally I get a flu short every year . . . And since turning that very important "age", I've had - singles, pneumococcal 19 / 23 (every 5 years) & tetenaus . . . Thankfully, never got the flu again - nor sick after the shot . . . Supposedly, other then the yearly flu shot, unless something else hits (like Covid-vacine) - I do not have to get anymore.

AND - Although, I am very much an advocate that everyone gets a yearly flu shot, especially seniors - the pneumonia / singles & tetanus shot . . . As for any possible Covid-vacine that comes out within the next few months - as someone who hits all the preconditions of underlying health conditions - HECK NO ! ! !

ASOLUTELY NOT ! ! ! Epescially given the uncertainty of what is being developed right now. . . Not Gonna Happen . . . :-x

BTW: For anyone that's possibly interested, most places that offer the flu shot also offer you an insentative to get one -major drug stores (CVS/Wallgreens) offer somekind of a discount and also in some major suppermart pharmacy they actually give you a $10 or more gift card (Plubix's stores here in FL) . . . Hey $10 extra dollars for getting what Ya' should is a - WIN WIN . . . :thumbs:

Yep what @DavidOck said about the flu shot. It's a guessing game for which strain to put into the shot and sometimes they don't get it right. But it does help lessen symptoms...most times. I've had the flu maybe three times in my life...one was the swine flu. I always recover easily from flu. The thing that knocks me on my .... is strep throat. I've had it multiple times and each time I'm overcome with fever and delirium and in the bed for days.

My coworker's husband got swine flu and almost died and was in ICU for a month. He made it.

I just figure I'll be doing my part to help the greater society by getting a flu shot. Covid has opened my eyes about how you can affect the higher risk population around you.

    I haven't been ordering a lot but have ordered a few things here and there since I figure that once the hammer really drops then we won't be able to get a lot of stuff. I bought several boxes of the .15 and .2 voopoo pnp coils for my pnp tanks but am kind of wishing now that I had gone for the .45 coils instead. The ones I got are ok but have to run them fairly high wattage. I got a pnp rta and like it well enough but it's only 2ml capacity which is a bit of a pain since it's bottom fill. The pnp pod tanks are around 4ml.
    You've mentioned the pnp stuff fairly often. Are they really that good?

    I don't know they would be a good fit for you. At least not the ones I'm using. I have to run them at least 35-40 watts. However, they do make higher ohm coils but I haven't tried any and doubt if you'd want to get into new tanks and drop in coils at this point.

    I took the Russian covid vaccine.. and I'm feeliиg just fiие iи fдст... жалко было ясно даже когда речь идёт кошмар
    I'm pretty sure the Russian vaccine is 98% vodka and a splash of borscht. You might get sick, but you just won't care.

    yeah, I have little to no immunity so I get the flu and pneumonia almost yearly and strep throat ug...don't even breath on something that I'm going to be around...I get strep like it's going out of style....my last job my coworker thought I was being funny when she said she thought she had strep throat and I was like I need you to stay 10 feet away from me...
    funny part is none of my doctors ever suggest that I take yearly shots....you'd think they would but at the same time I think they know that they won't really help me....though I did used to make sure my kids had them....

    Glad to hear of the progress on the fires.

    OK I'm still much liking the Gen Nano kit. When I first filled the GTX 22 tank I noticed the air flow was wide open. I just left it there cause I like airy vapes even though I'm more MTL. More recently I finally played with the airflow a bit and discovered I like it just slightly open better. Still has plenty of air and I think slightly better taste. I tried closing the air off and that was too restricted for me. Settled on the .6 as my fav, coil.

    I only had the flu once in my 57 years of life. It was in 1995. The whole family got sick. I do get the flu shots because they are usually mandatory for health care workers, etc.

    Garden is almost done. I have some bullhorn peppers I'm trying to ripen. I also let numerous beans go to seed for next year.

    I'm going to focus on some diy this weekend to divert my negative thoughts.

    Significant other just screwed up a plumping project. Oh, boy! I don't want to be here right now. I suppose I'll have to drive him somewhere to buy parts. His horns pop out during failed projects.
