I got vape mail today. I got my 5 Smoant Battlestars. I only ordered them three days ago. That makes a grand total of 8 Battlestars in my fleet, including the one I'm currently using. The rest go into my stash.
Wow, just three days from order until you actually got it? That is pretty impressive.

There are at least - 10 Dunkin Donuts & 15 Starbucks, besides another 9 Independent Coffee Cafes - within a 3 mile radius to where I live . . . With 5 of them within 6 blocks away . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

All I can say to that @Uncle is that I hope you're a coffee drinker.

I get really frustrated with dealing with my wife's macbook and macOS' filesystem/file management. It seems I've got to do detective work every once in a while to hunt down missing files(photos) that suddenly appear missing. It's a massive waste of time and frustrating. It's not even close to being as easy and intuitive as Windows, or maybe even Linux too. When I load photos into a folder on Windows, it stays there.. but you import photos to your Photo app on macOS, at least in my experience, who knows if they will stay there? Maybe one day you power it on, and 50% of the photos are gone. Times like that I want to throw her macbook through a window and on to the street to be run over by a dump truck. But I want to get myself a NAS, and have my own personal cloud to back up data from our devices where our files will be indisturbed unless I personally disturb them.
I love my Mac. But, that said, I don't rely on Mac's file management. I keep my own folders for photos, documents and all else, and just put the item into my own folder. Hasn't failed me yet.

Were you able to find them in colors other than yellow or black? I have 4 of them, 3 of which are still unopened. Great little mods.

    I could be wrong but I think she said yellow.

    I WAS and miss it more then you'll know . . . Used to drink at least 4-5 pots of coffee a day (especially when I was working) could even have a couple of "Mugs" or Espresso/Cappuccino/"Café Negro" before bed and sleep like a baby . . . However - Today according to Drs not supposed to drink any coffee (or caffeine for that matter) given "My' Health . . . BUT NOT GOING TO HAPPEN . . . Cut back to 3 "Mugs" of Half Cafe in the morning and once in a blue moon - a "Mocha Frappe" or "Ice Coffee" . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I haven't been following the computer stuff much (very happy with my Linux) but it's always a good idea to have an external hard drive to back up files (you never know when hard drive might take a crap) Your computer could literally explode (just kidding) and all your data will be safe ;) They don't cost very much.

    BTW, was vaping the entire time we had company ("late Christmas") and nobody minded me vaping (such good flavors)
    Awhile back, I was doing some gardening for my mother's 91 year old friend (in the front yard) he knew I was vaping and said "what is that smell?" I said "it's my tobbacco mix" (nutty RY4) he really liked it ;)

    @hittman (or anyone else) where can I get a good deal on Kroma-Z pods (they all seem to be around $10) Mostly, I want cheap shipping because all I will order is a couple pods. Don't mind if they are from China... just need backups.

    JC posted links the other day to innokin who had decent prices and shipping for a couple pods was around three dollars. It’s unusual for a factory website to have such good prices. I ordered a couple pods and an adapter and shipping was still around three. I think I spent $16 total.

    I bought a one shot from chefs called tiki punch. Folks on the FB page were going on about it and it sounded good so I thought I’d try it. I mixed a 50ml sample this morning. I might give it a couple days before trying it. I also finally got the candy cane flavor so I can mix that cheesecake recipe. I’ve got two or three I’d like to mix later.

    Morning all,

    Yawn. Having a double shot espresso with water or a Americano although I did start frothing milk and making lattes too. Sometimes I add some Swiss Miss powdered hot chocolate for a mocha latte and those are addicting. :thumb:
    Yummy. Good way to start your day.
