Grandson is visiting. He's shipping out to Japan next week on a three year deployment and isn't planning to come back to the US during that time. Still using Lost Mary disposables. He mentioned the numbers and it's a convenient but expensive way to vape. At least compared to the way people here do it.
Asked him about vaping in Japan, He said it's legal to vape but you can't buy them. The base shop sells a very small and crappy selection of disposables. You can order them from abroad though. Seems a very odd system. Legal to vape and import gear, but not legal to buy in the country.
He's 8 years in at the moment. Was planning the bail out at 10 years last time I saw him but now he's decided to go for the 20. They do look after those guys. He's been saving money good. His plan is in three years when he comes back to the US he will buy a house near the base, apparently the military pays his mortgage. He will pay extra and by the time he hits 20 years he should have it all paid off. Then he can go wherever he wants and buy a house for cash. He's a staff sergeant now and runs a high tech maintenance operation for planes, which buys him a good career path when he gets out.
When he first moved in with us 10 years ago he was doing dead end jobs in fast food and sitting around in his room in the garage getting stoned. Guess he did good.

It was 83 when I started and 90 when I finished. At least there was some breeze.
If I had it to do over again, I would have stayed in for 20 and had a pension at 38. I had a good friend in there that retired out and he’s doing great.
What’s everyone up to today? I’m going to go over to my daughters apartment and install the missing cam lock screws on her cabinet that I ordered.
After doing the stupid Superior Court Jury thing 4 times I finally got one accepted. I have my excusals going to the court now. So glad to get that done
Misty had a good checkup at the vet. She got 1 vaccination and some deworming medication. We go back in 4 weeks for more vaccines, including rabies. She's too little for microchipping. They'll do that when she gets spayed in a couple of months.
The only 4mm cam lock screws I could find for the cabinet ended up being too small on the threaded end so I filled the holes with wood putty and screwed them in. It said to wait 24-48 hours for it to cure so I’ll have to go back again and see if it’s strong enough to lock in the cams. Would have been so much easier if they had just shipped the right amount of screws with the cabinet.
I found some with larger threads on eBay that I’m going to order just in case the wood putty doesn’t hold.
The wife informed me that I’m going to the grocery store with her. I’m all kinds of excited! Not!
Actually I got out of it. She mentioned watering the trees in the backyard and each needs to soak slowly for 25-30 minutes. So I’m sitting waiting for the timer on my watch to go off to move the hose instead.
For some reason my wife can’t water the flowers in the front without spraying half of my car with the hose. I just went to the car wash today for the first time in over a month and spent $14. I go outside to pull my car into the garage and half the drivers side and the hood are wet. I can understand if the side gets splashed a little but the hood makes no sense.
