    leftover ham.

    You didn't say which recipe, however I'm gonna suggest a HUGE BIG POT of "Split Pea Soup' (thick - warm - filling and comforting), doesn't matter green, yellow, or a combination of both . . . Any extra - Freezes well too (That way Ya' can ship me a container) . . . Just Sayin' . . . . :rolleyes:



    EDIT: Oh Yea - "Butch"s sandwich on the side w/ Root Beer for "Me" . . . :drool:

    That's a long time smoking. At this point I've been a vaper long than I was a smoker. And I was never a pack a day person either. I think at my highest point, I might have been a half pack a day for a short while.

    I started out as a teen stealing a cigarette here and there from my dad's pack and quickly graduated to carrying a pack with me all the time. I have no idea how much I smoked a day as a teen or even in my early 20's. Both of my parents had COPD from smoking and I knew I had to make a change. I by chance saw a short story on the news about these new electronic cigarettes and thought I'd give them a try. It wasn't an easy transition for me and took me a long time. However, the hardware back in 2009 was lousy at best. By the time I started vaping, I was up to 1.5 packs a day.

    I bet it was tough to change. Going from 30 cigarettes a day to zero is a big step. I'm not surprised it took you awhile. Especially if you were using the old vape gear.

    As a rural kid I started smoking at age 8 . i smoked for 56 years at times up to 3 packs a day. Why I don't have lung problems I will never know but it was my doctor that suggested ecigs back in 2011. I started with V2 cigalikes and the rest is history.

    Whatever it is will be a casserole. I do not like pea soup.

    When I started in 2009 about the only thing available was the 510, 801, and 901. There were variations on those. I found the forum and the 510 was recommended to me so I bought two kits that cost as much as two decent mods now. It wasn't long before I built my first box mod with parts taken from old 510 batteries and bought a couple of Trog screwdrivers and it went on from there.

    FYI . . . There is a very strong correlation between the health of your heart and your teeth . . . .Teeth problems = Heart problems . . . Heart problems = Teeth problems . . . Having a Quintuple bypass = 6 months later loss of all teeth - I Personally know . . . NOT NICE ! ! ! Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Gum disease and the connection to heart disease - Harvard Health

    Does plaque on your teeth cause heart disease?

    Known as atherosclerosis, this fatty plaque is the hallmark of coronary artery disease. People with gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) have two to three times the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular event.Feb 15, 2021​

    Good morning/afternoon all. No real plans for today. There is a chance of thunderstorms today so I might go out and work on the wimp cellar. It gets some water in it from ground seepage.

    When I was stationed in Alameda, CA I would splurge and go to a little Mom and Pop restaurant and have their split pea soup with a toasted cheese sandwich. Yum! It looks like another night for soup and a sandwich.

    I hope everyone has a good day. Stay safe and well.

    After I finish my coffee I'm going outside and rototill a garden space for peas. DH finally finished tuning the tiller. However, he needs to order/find a air filter for it. I've had the tiller since 2003.

    I started vaping with a ego 510. It took a few months to titrate off the cigs. I spent a lot of money chasing the perfect ecig/vape.

    between here and there
    sadness my fav drip tip is falling apart...it was already damaged when I got it, now a big v broke off of it on the bottom where the o-rings are

    thought I got it from ft but not finding it...and trying to cruise through their listings is a bit difficult...
    I think I found one close enough to it, also found quite a few others that I like

    ug I hate, why is everything random color...you freaking have the colors so just sell that color not some random thing, meh....
    Surprisedly, I found drip tips on Amazon of all places, pretty reasonable prices also. Their technical name is something like a coffee fit piece,(makes no sense, but wth). Here is an example. I searched for drip tips.

    Amazon.com : 810 drip tips

    :)

    I have a similar one to this I haven't mixed yet, using FLV Citrus soda and FA Lemon Sicily
    I just mixed something with VTA Fizzy Sherbet, called Shattered Lemon. I am waiting to try both the GF Lemonade and the Shattered Lemon in a about two weeks.

    Just got this in an email from Heartland Vapes:

    "Please be advised:
    All flavoring and bottles offered at Heartlandvapes.com will no longer be available. Only nicotine and E-liquid will be available @heartlandvapes.com
    Food Flavoring, PG, VG, and bottles will now be available at Hempnetix.com
    Please note, these items are multi-purpose food and beverage products. We have Chosen our shipping provider to be FedEx for Hempnetix.com "

    I was wondering several weeks ago...if they'd do the above or not, (ie. separate their sales of those things from their Heartland Vapes website), so they wouldn't lose their customers who buy them. It's a good idea, IMO. :)

    After looking at some options, I think I'm going to buy a liter of PG and VG from Liquid Barn.
    my last 2 vgs I got were from riversupply but before that I bought them from bulkapothecary
    keep any eye out for if/when they do free shipping :)
    8 to 10lbs roughly equals 1 gallon
    yikes I just checked and their gallon of pg is up to $43.80 :shock: so never mind there
    though their gallon of vg is only $16 (which is kosher usp grade) or $43.20 for certified organic :shock:
    usually they are the cheapest but their shipping is expensive, I wait for them to do free shipping codes
