    I got the freon in the car. Don't use those cans of freon with the hoses and gauges included and already attached. They are cheap throwaway tools and make the job much harder. The connector was wonky and hard to attach and the gauge gave readings that were all over the place. I doubt I got enough freon in, but I got the whole can in and the ac is much cooler than before. I couldn't ever get a decent read on the gauge to know if I got it up to full pressure. Yesterday, it gave me a high pressure reading, which suggested I would need an expensive repair. Next time I'm buying a real ac charger hose and the cans of freon. It might cost a bit more, but it'll make the job easier.

    I took more boxed mods and put them into the box next to my bureau. My drawer unit has 3 deep plastic drawers. I have taken several mods out of the top and bottom drawers. Middle is not vape stuff.What’s left is few boxed, many loose and lots of pods and stuff. Tomorrow I will dump everything out of the two drawers and repack with list.

    I thought they combined my first two ft orders which are now stuck in Ca. But they didn't because I got the first one today. It's just inserts for the old style Dvarws. Now if I can just get the new style tanks which seem to all be stuck in Los Angeles.

    I have some of the bronze ones. They look great. I had a problem with a couple of them though. Suspect the bronze parts are plated and the first coat of plating is generally copper. Something to do with valence, I vaguely remember it from college. Actually I only vaguely remember college, which is maybe why I dropped out. Anyway I think the outer plating wears off on the cap threads and exposes the copper. I got green crud in the threads. Cut off the electrical connection and sometimes made the caps seize up so I had to use pliers to get them off.

    After a gentle brushing (try an old toothbrush first, if not clean enough, light wire brushing) to clean the threads up a LIGHT coating of something like NoLox would probably prevent that. Yeah, electrolosis any time you have dis-similar metals.

    Better, then what I was before going into the hospital and since coming out 3 weeks ago - not yet - still doing some major recouping . . . Had Labs done yesterday and from what I read it looks like I have to definitely start Dialysis - just not sure when, nor for how long . . . Still have a couple of Dr's follow-up appointments (diabetic dr tomorrow - Kidney & Primary on Thursday) to find out what's what . . . Until then, just hanging in there and trying to prepare for the inevitable changes . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:
    .

    May you have fast healing. I don't know what is going on, but sick/pain is horrible for anyone, yet we all seem to have to take our turns.
    I wish you the VERY best with whatever is going on, and send healing thoughts your way.
    I'm cutting out early again and thank you ALL for your concern. Chanel was right. You guys are great. Thanks for being so warm with my visits that have come a little more often. :wub:

    So you've got a complete spare drawer, once you toss that "not vape stuff". Just think of all the new flavors.

    I've been trying to add freon to my car's ac and it isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Just because my dad was a good mechanic doesn't make me one. But if I can get this done without a car repair bill, all the better. My brother has been giving me phone consults.

    I have to go in for my second baseline interview for the vagal nerve stimulator study some day this week, maybe tomorrow. I have an appointment with the surgeon for Monday. I'm not certain yet, but I think I've been approved. The patient advocate called me yesterday and she was talking as if I had been, but she didn't come out and say that I had. I dont think they actually make the decision until after the second baseline interview though.
    if it's hot out putting the can in a bowl of warm water can help:) and tilt it back and forth.

    This is a plastic rolling drawer thing in my closet. The one I have with 3 large drawers.

    I like 'deep' as long as it doesn't step on the other flavours. Maybe up the other percentages or drop the Vanilla cookie :wub:


    I am ecstatically happy with the Banana Cream Pie I came up with using Cookie and Graham Cracker.
    I'll use the Vanilla Cookie another way.
    Still gonna play with it to see if I can get it to taste like a Vanilla Wafer - 'cause I think I can.

    My LiquidSmith order should be here tomorrow.
    But it will be less the Whiskey.

    Payment Status: Partially refunded
    Fulfillment Status: Fulfilled

    :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry::cry: :cry::cry: :cry:
    Two more days for mine. I have to start mixing some stuff soon as I'm bored with what I have left from before the clampdown on flavors.

    Just filled my Boxx again. Working good.

    I’m really glad you’re enjoying it. I’ve been using mine a lot too and have hardly touched the silver one.
