    A gallon sure seems like a lot of VG. Is that what most folks buy?

    I do. I guess it depends on what percentage of vg you use in your mix. I usually go 60-70% vg.

    @Redbird11 - Went to take a peek at what 1 gal. of VG and 1 gal. of PG would be, since they're having a sale on their PG now. Here's what it would be if/when you use the 15% off by signing up for their newsletter.

    $11.05 - 1 gal. VG
    $13.77 - 1 gal. PG
    $24.82
    $17.61 S/H by UPS Ground
    $42.43 TOTAL = Avg. out to $21.22/gallon to your door.

    That's a really good deal!

    I am a prime member but not sure either. Amazon might come up with more .99 cent deals for Christmas. I got two months of Starz for .99 cents a month. I canceled after the two months.
    That would be great. They have another one I really want to try, Britbox. It has a lot of the British police procedural shows I like such as Morse, Tennison, Endeavor, Father Brown and such. I really like those type shows and actually some are available on Prime, at least in part.

    They have enough channels that you could just go from 7-day trial to 7-day trial and stay busy for months. I'm kinda hoarding the trials until I get bored of what's offered on Prime.

    I'm going to do some of those 7-day trials eventually. Holding out right now to see if Amazon will offer anything.

    I'll probably just keep cable. No sports, or very limited sports, would be a bummer. I tried an antenna from Best buy with my TV. It was a complete fail and joke. I returned it the same day.
    I kept my Xfinity cable w/sports and use Roku and the Xfinity app for streaming. You might be able to scale back your cable cost and add streaming app devices to the mix ??? I also tried HD antenna (like you it was a fail) but built my own from power cable wire and 75 ohm adapter and use it for the major over-air channels for when INTERNET & cable TV goes out. Google HD antenna DIY, it's only took me about 1 hour to build. I'm about 25 miles from TV towers (signal over trees & hills all the way).

    The outside thermometer says 55 but I took the dog out for a walk and aired up the tires and checked oil on the kids cars and the wind feels like it’s about 15-20mph and makes it feel much cooler.

    The wind always has a way of doing that.

    I found a list of all the Amazon channels offered along with the price and free-trial terms. Keep scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page. There are dozens of them, many I've never heard of nor have any interest in watching. I'm definitely going to eventually try several of them, though. Looks like some interesting ones under the heading "Movies and TV" and also "British Channels".

    That does seem pretty cost effective. It would sure last quite some time.

    That's cool but how do you find all those on Amazons website?

    Yes, it saves quite a bit of money in the longrun. I always buy either 1 of each or 2 VG at a time, when I place an order. The S/H savings doing that really makes a difference.

    I buy my vg/pg already mixed. One less step I have to do!

    That works fine for those who don't want/need their final PG/VG ratio in their mixes to be an exact ratio. Adding flavorings and nic base to a pre-mixed PG/VG can make the final ratio vary too much though, for some people. If it works well for you though...that's great, IMO! :thumbs:

    To be honest I'm not too concerned with being that precise. If it's close I'm happy.

    We did an early Xmas gift exchange with my oldest daughter while she’s home for the weekend. She got me a game for the PlayStation called Ghost of Tsushima. I saw commercials for it but know very little about it.

    If I were to buy a PS4, that would be one of the first games I would get. I have seen some of the gameplay. It looks fantastic.

    That’s good to here. I’ll try to get started on it tomorrow morning before anyone gets up.

    I believe Hulu live is about 65 bucks a month. They recently raised their prices.
    by golly you are right. If Google is right that is. It was $55 and might have gone up. It is billed to my credit card monthly so I did not notice
