    Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
    I have been to a chiropractor, picked up vape mail, picked up the accounts.
    I have a couple of walls to paint, hopefully it goes fast so I have time to do something fun.
    Just started in the kitchen yesterday and it's not going to be fun.
    Good luck with the kitchen.

    Morning twirlers,

    Rain :) Temps said to be up a tad, but still a little below normal. Dandelions still growing, and look to be safe for a few more days.

    Aren’t there like 30 different words for rain up there?

    At least. And that's just what's in the weather guesser vocabulary. And where else does one get a forecast of "scattered sun"? :lol:

    I'm kind of mad that my Geekvape rep dropped off the face of the earth last year and I've tried to send a couple pm's to the rep handling the Geekvape forum but obviously they can't be bothered to respond.
    Just forget them, we'll be seeing a lot of this this year, the big companies are less interested in forums and only think about youtube reviews.
    Next year I'm not sure if they bother to send to youtube reviwers either, as the pandemic is in China, I do not think there is that much that comes out of the country.

    I think it will, and since its more or less shake and Vape it buys me time until these other recipes "mature" via steeping. Regrettably a steep time of more then a few days has never been suggested or implied in anything I have found till this forum. So I was caught a bit off guard by the notion that e-juice(I hate that term) isn't quick turn around.

    I've seen steeping mentioned other places on FB like the Chefs group there. It seems like there's always someone asking steep time on a one shot.

    I know I shouldn't worry about it but I've been reviewing for them for a few years now. I can still get Geekvape stuff for review from Sourcemore. To be honest, their design team has been lacking for the last 1-2 years. Instead of coming up with new designs, they continue to just revamp current product lines like how they released a second series of Aegis mods. I can't believe they are releasing a DNA pod mod with interchangeable 510 connection. I wouldn't pay that much for a pod mod.

    Trouble with painting kitchen walls is you have to do a lot of cleaning first to get the grease off. Last time I did that a buddy who paints for a living advised me to put a layer of primer on first. And then you have to work around all the cabinets and so forth. Been putting off doing mine for years.

    Very true, in this case it is the wallpaper and the glue that was used that is the problem, get it away in a two-part operation, the problem I have is that it comes with way too much of the substrate.
    I will take one meter at a time, and try out different solutions, and work up the end result before I move on.
    Rome was not built in a day, and neither will my kitchen. :D

    I only have one GeekVape mod, Aegis Solo v1, I use it very rarely. A Pod with a DNA chip is a Pod where they chose the wrong solution, when Evolv chooses to deliver for that use, they can hardly sell enough chipset for what they were actually made for.

    It's a shame that GeekVape has stopped delivering products for your reviews, but I think that says a lot about where the industry is really going.

    Well, I just had to mix with the Apricot and now that I have, I know to not do it again. I don’t care for apricot in a vape. Even though the apricot in my mix has fit into my mix so it’s not an outright taste. It’s still in there and I don’t care for it. Now I know.

    My boss has these cleaning people that come in to our work every other week. They don't do a very good job of it and I already had an attitude about the work they do half way. They never come in my shop and clean which is fine with me. I can sweep the floor myself. However, today I was 45 minutes late getting lunch and about 5 minutes in they decided two of them were going to come in and clean and run the vacuum while I was eating. It really got under my skin. The one guy was back in the corner where all of my three phase power comes in and I had to quick go back and shut everything off so he didn't kill himself.

    Uh no. I would have told them to go away. I can't stand that - used to be at work we'd be eating and of course landscapers show up and run their blowers the whole time. But in your shop I'd get rid of them.

    @englishmick I just got a SWEET S class Venator freighter in NMS. I had a A class but really wanted this one so I spent 1 1/2 hours reloading and trying.

    View attachment 973664

    Cool. That's the same one I got, Venator with 6 cargo bays. Took me several hours. And I finally found a derelict freighter which gives S class freighter upgrades so I'm spending a lot of time fighting my way through slime monsters to stock up on upgrades.

    It won't happen again. If they come in again while I'm eating then I'll tell them to leave. I have a feeling my boss told them to sweep and vacuum in the shop before they left. Just so happens that they did it while I was eating.

    If you don't mind me asking, what do you use. Acrylics or oils? I have never tried oils. Other than a MacCaw statue birthday present, I have not painted in a very long time.

    This is diamond painting. Painting is really a misnomer because there's no paint involved. It's a cross between beading and cross stitching. There is a canvas that is printed like a cross stitch pattern but it is coated in adhesive and you stick colored "diamonds" on it according to the pattern.

    Some of the rent all places may have a steam thing for wallpaper removal. Loosens up the glue. I'm glad I got my kitchen done before I retire. I painted, put vinyl plank flooring down and got nice replacement cabinet door fronts,:)

    I’ve been thinking about getting vinyl plank for our master bathroom floor. I’ve never installed it before. I was thinking about getting a quote to have it done.

    It's pretty easy to put down, I like Durham's rock hard water putty to fill in any voids or nail heads in the underlayment,
