Could I make a personal observation, expressly without the intent of offending anybody?

Some times people may multi-quote and somewhere in the middle of it is a response to a post I made. With large multi-quotes it becomes right difficult to reply because you have to take out all the other quotes. And that can be pain for some who can't type well due to physical difficulties.

At the least I'd like to say that I appreciate you referring to one of my posts, but at the same time I may not be able to reply back.

No offense intended, just a viewpoint. Thanks!!!!

Yup, and I'm living it. Time for spring, people! I think we need to protest, en masse, to bring spring back. A couple months of solid activist behavior ought to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're referring to posts in the forum, it usually means "Edited To Add" - an addition to the original post.

AHH!!! That's it...that explains it...thanks!

Figuring out context is not my forte Both acronyms are used but the greatest usage that I've seen is in relation to vape mail. So people say ETA to indicate when they expect it. But, as you say, it also has another meaning, one that I did not know.

I had to Google it when I came to this forum because I always thought it was Estimated Time of Arrival. I had to Google a few acronyms from this Forum.

Don't envy those in the hard hit areas this winter at all. Was born and raised in the frozen north, lived in the Rockies again years later for a time because my ex (born in Tucson, grew up in the San Francisco area) wanted to live someplace with 4 seasons. I bought her a snow shovel, then blower, then 4X4, LOL, but did the snow and ice myself until we all had enough of winter to last us a lifetime. If you choose to live where the rants of weather (extreme heat, extreme cold, sleet/deep snow/ice, torrential rain/flooding, high wind, hurricane, tornado, tsunami, earthquake, etc), you kind of own it. I chose where I wanted to live all my adult/working life...we where we wanted to the 35 years we were married, not where anybody else wanted. In my golden years with no family left except a son I rarely see more than once a year, I choose to maybe only have to deal with high summer temps, rare flash floods and around 42 million tourists a year. They are all easy enough to avoid... I simply don't go out in the hottest months of summer except in the wee hours of the night, don't live in the areas of the valley that rarely flood if the monsoons come in with force, and stay as far away as possible from the areas where tourist stay and play. The Mojave Desert has worked well for 23 years now, I'll die on it, but my ashes will be spread in a favored wilderness high mountain meadow of my youth in the Rockies. You can take the guy out of the Rockies, but you can't take the Rockies out of the guy I guess.

Hey T, Doffy,

Just wanted to say hi!

 

[supertrunker]

Hey there Scott! Well, it's another Friday night. Just like any other night, actually I'm hoping to have a good time. I need to really tear down both my Reos and clean them well and recoil them. Won't be tonight though.....

Anyone using 2-3mm silica and kanthal? Looking for a starting point for a coil, want about 1.8 ohms. My RM2 burns inside for some reason, the soot accumulates terribly inside the cap at the top and I can taste it. I squonk bout everytime so I think that's covered.

Current coil is a micro at about 1.2ohms. Using cotton wicking, organic balls and KGD..

HRH uses 2mm silica wick, but not at 1.8Ωwhich is a bit high. I'm qualified to answer this since i make the damn things for her!

I make an old school coil/ugly coil straight on a doubled over bit of wick, using 5 wraps of 30g kanthal. I actually make 6 wraps, but the first one is sacrificial and just to get me going and i always undo it.

This nets a 1.25Ωcoil for a RM2. I have made microcoils for her in the past and then yanked the silica in with another loop of kanthal, but she dislikes them.

She will use such a coil for probably close to a month. i doubt she cleans them, but she may dry burn them on occasion. Because they take me only minutes to make, when she says they taste crap - i just make new ones.

You can try to be a man of your own destiny. Sometimes it doesn't work out for a while

For your sake, I'm glad it did. The winds of life blow fickle, though.......

I could say i'm similar to Spydro, but the fact is i have always done precisely as i please!

"Trunker - you were English, you lived all over Europe and now you're in Texas, what a fascinating and adventurous life". I get deported a lot!

I do too, and that is what gets me into trouble

Hey T,

Follow British politics? I'm just learning, but it's been pretty funny along the way. Not that the US isn't as well. I think we travel the same road but coming from us, going through a monty python filter and ending up in the UK.

 

[supertrunker]

I still read the British newspapers and follow the politics, but in the rather conceited manner of someone that no longer has to tolerate the financial pain stupidity imposes upon taxpayers!

In truth, all governments are about the same, so i really just swapped one bunch of idiots for another, but with better weather!

Good attitude!! I feel the same. Look around the compass and stupidity will not elude you anywhere

I had the right attitude and drive, knew I could make it anywhere and did. One of the best lessons learned early in life on the ranch was to dance with the one I brung, so I always did what I wanted to and did not do anything I didn't. My down fall was the health issues that caught up with me a few years ago from my Vietnam service starting 48 years ago. No foul though, I volunteered, and had a very good and successful life after.
