Well the dog is gonna be okay. He managed, in his tripping (which I guess was caused by the husband who stepped on his leash but I am CERTAIN by accident) managed to push one molar up into his nasal cavity which is why he was bleeding up a storm. But it's kind of good because the vet is going to remove some other dead teeth that are causing him misery, mostly likely, and the wart, and the cysts on his head which have been there a while (they are kind of normal for like, a dog his age.)

They are shockingly (to a Tucson person) inexpensive, actually. I mean it's emergency stuff, they are keeping him until 5 pm for all the anesthesia required to wear off, and it's gonna be like 500 bucks. In Arizona, they would have charged that for the anesthesia ALONE....

I had to sit down and hash it out with the husband about the vaping. I was like, "Dude, first of all chill, secondly, no I don't think you are trying to kill the dog on purpose you were just distracted. ALSO, it sounds like this is all going to be of net BENEFIT to the dog, so really, it's good it happened." I guess he has to eat soft food for a while, but like big deal. I am glad he will be happier (and I can tell the kid all about it, he has been bothered by those cysts forever. Frankly, to never see the dog lick that wart again is worth 500 bucks to ME it was DISTURBING.)

Then I was like, "Dude, what do you want" as far as my vaping instead of a steady escalation into fits.... It is pretty simple. He wants me to crack the door and well, have the fan going at its lowest setting when I vape. That is so super easy. He was like, "You never listen to me." I was like, uh, yes I do but a general complaint doesn't do me much good I was about to like open the door and blow it all OUT but I am not a mind reader as far as when you wake up, or how to RANDOMLY make it so there is an acceptable amount of vapor per pounds of air give me a SPECFIC.

I don't think my vape filter is like, sufficient for my needs but I have looked on line and there are ones that will work much better for like, the space and vaping I do, and will take care of odor too but I can wait until like, we move. I mean it's not really worth doing before the house move.

The husband is now in post fit comedown but I made him pick a Medicare plan during open season and explained it all to him. Oy. I don't think Walmart will be happening today but at least everyone is "healthy."

I am doing yoga today if it kills me. It might.

One of my original Picos seems to be on the way out. The screen has faded so much I need the magnifier to read it, and now the 510 pin is getting dodgy. I have to poke around and pop the pin up when I reinstall a tank. A couple of others have faded screens.
Bummer about your Pico's.

Question. Did you get any of the replacement boards (with screen) that FastTech sells?

CoolBreeze in the big Eleaf iStick Pico thread replaced one or more of the original boards with the FT replacement and was very successful.

    The Macadamian nut is WF and it’s very tasty. I used it at 4% which is too much and I’m guessing 2% will be perfect? I have no recipe yet. I had just a 2 flavor tester.
    Thank you. It's now on my list for BCF's after Xmas sale.

    Good afternoon mixers and mixettes :)
    Set 2 nets for some December fishing. Hopefully it will be worthwhile. I'm hoping for at least 10k lbs, anything will be a nice cushion to help me through the winter. I have some nuts squirreled away, but it would be nicer for a few more.

    Good luck!

    I think I saw a video by geekvape doing a build like that. I assume you’re talking about the Zeus X?

    Good afternoon D-I-Y Folks!!! :D

    I was really surprised to see a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning. Yay. Dog, Carli, loves any and all snow. She ran around like a wild one and then laid down in it to roll around. She's a trip and so much fun. It's all melted now.

    I managed to get some RBA's cleaned and rewicked. Looking through my flavors and working on coming up with one or two new recipes. Probably will hit up some foodie sites later for inspiration.

    That is a good idea looking at food sites for DIY ideas. Do have any favorites?

    I don't have any favorites. I just google bakery and baking websites and then look around until something that catches my interest. Usually doesn't take long.

    Smoothie recipe sites are real good ones for ideas too.

    I also have pretty many old and newer bakery recipe books (were the wife's) that I thumb through and find ideas.

    I might have to steal that idea. Sounds like a good way to get inspiration for flavor combinations.

    The little dog is going to feel so much better. And $500 is a steal for all that work.

    P.S. Glad the vaping crise was resolved so easily.

    I had ordered a watch band for the Apple Watch I bought my wife for Xmas and received the bubble mailer today but it was opened and empty. USPS wrote on the label that it was received empty. Not sure I believe that.

    We did the drive by graduation for the daughter of my wife’s friend. It was kind of fun and didn’t take long. It’s too bad she didn’t get to have a graduation ceremony.

    I never did get started on that review. There’s still time though before the football game at 7. The weekends seem so short any more. I can’t wait to have nine days off the end of the month.

    Do remember reading about that. To be honest it seems like a lot of bother for a $20 mod, especially now I'm having 510 problems as well. If I was more dependent on them being there I would probably get some boards.

    Just checked and I got my first Pico 4 years ago next month. It's actually quite impressive how long our gear lasts. I have an iStick 40 that I still use every day that's probably 5 years old. Doesn't last as long on a charge as it used to but it still does the job.

    Hey folks... I get it... won't go there again but it would be nice if I could still feel welcome on this thread. I have ZERO input on flavors. No hard feelings?
    Vaper1960, I should not have come down hard on you yesterday. I am sorry and hope you can accept my apology.

    You do have info, and knowledge, to contribute. You know about the flavors, recipes and gear you're experienced with. And you know that. Share what you do know.

    Every single person here is a valuable resource. Don't think I would be going out on a ledge if I said, we're all students too. Learning. Growing.

    And very honestly, if I post something that is wrong, or off, I expect folks here to speak up. Call me out. That is one way I learn and grow. I make mistakes doing dumb stuff all the time but I do strive to learn from those things.

    There are no hard feelings man.

    Alright?

    BTW, I enjoyed the tunes you posted. :D
