There's something fishy about this page. Those look delicious!
Fortunately, princess #2 married a chef. Bonus for me, fresh fish that I get to NOT cook and enjoy. The filets filled an ice bag. We’ll be having fish for a while

Nice catch! I miss fishing but I don’t want to go alone.

Got a mystery box from osdiy. Only ordered on the 4th but have completely forgotten what.
You can come down and go with us :p.
Love mystery boxes! ( If I’m honest, too often much of it’s a surprise :oops:). My NR came to the house yesterday. 3 litres of nic, and the basil and persimmon flavors BCF was oos on. More empty bottles came before we left. Probably for the best, I have 5 steeping at home. Brought 6 that just hit done. I need to work through this before I mix more

Heh I've had the mystery box happen but NOT RECENTLY. LOL, I wish, but I'm also glad. Haven't put anything up for sale, but...

I did go lurk and did NOT catch my doc prior to his arrival but DID catch the receptionist before she turned unfortunate and stone faced and I was able to get what I needed and etc., BEFORE things got busy. So it was worth a practice run, and I can definitely MAKE it to the jail by 7 awake enough to drive and sort of mildly functional and with enough coffee in me, heck, I left BEFORE 6:25, even and got to my doc farther, etc. My new wakeup time is just now 5 a.m. I guess.

Then I came home and printed out all my packets and filled them out and everything I need, I think Jail wishes I would go sooner but I have NO clue when "HS registrar who confirmed my graduation year with a YEARBOOK," well how long that letter will take to get here.

But, I'm hanging out with my kiddo Thursday anyway and I'm glad he'll be here and whatnot a few more months (til Sept, probably) and this will give me a good chance to buy him attire and soylent and pamper him.

OH I love that creature but the convicts will distract me from my mournful loss (I HOPE) and it will be nice to have income to do stuff like go visit the kid (plus mandatory my mom) although to be fair she was super sweet, I think we actually DID resolve things during our visit.

But I sent my sister a hilarious email about job stuff, and she responded with an equally hilarious email about my mom's "amends" status, which actually caused ME to send my sis a HEARTFELT amends. I guess my sis asked for an apology for ruining the turkey after my mom hit me one Thanksgiving and I was like, "Mom, I'm a grownup and we don't do that anymore, stop and apologize," My mom refused and my sis was muttering soft but emphatic, Anna don't... .just let it be," and I wouldn't so my mom ended up HURLING the dang (cooked turkey) against the wall and I just waltzed off to an AA meeting (it was the best dead dog story ever) leaving my sister crying and cleaning turkey off the wall. I guess my sis asked for an apology for "ruining turkey for me" when my mom couldn't come up with anything to amends her with, and my mom was like, "Yes, that was unfortunate... .although to be fair you were partly responsible since you came to the garage to drink champagne with me."

WHUT. My sister was like, 18 and the youngest daughter of a woman who went to HALF an alanon meeting and left saying "I didn't like it."

That is my new favorite sentence of all time, "Yes, that was unfortunate... But you were partly responsible because you DRANK champagne with me." OMG.

So of course it was my sister's fault, the irony of this was, I could have CARED LESS who was drinking what except had I KNOWN my mom had done this, I would have held off on the tongue lashing until she was UNFUZZY. Also, I would have taken my sister out of the house WITH me and my mom could have cleaned it up, or probably she would have called "Emergency Turkey Maid service" or whatever. IDK.

But mainly, I apologized to my sis for THAT because really, I have always felt guilty about it and I didn't know the incident was a) so deeply buried in her psyche and b) I had no idea TURKEY could be RUINED either, I thought it sucked from the first mouthful.

I just told my sis that the topic was covered in the big book but my mom's trips to see her kids would make a GREAT AA pamphlet, "Amends: They're not supposed to Hurt." LOL.

Okay sorry, now that I'm not anxious and have done a bunch of work I have given myself an afternoon of rest but will try to hang on some newer threads where I can be more Topic Appropriate, too.

Sorry shiny folk I just have little to offer other than I still have plenty of newer atomizers I haven't built. I also found a latchhook kit when I was digging it one of the sheds for my diplomas to scan. It's been, ah soothing and I plan to play with it more. I love how it can be an art thing, a shag carpet thing, and a shank, and maybe I'm PRACTICING IDK

but if God let's me down this late in the game, I will pick myself up, dust myself off, and be a part time nanny. I will live.

Sorry again :(

Anna

Went striper fishing last night. That’s the hub’s foot next to my 40” catch! Took the Aegis with me. The 21700 made it from 6 pm till about 2:30 am with half battery life left ( yes, I chain vaped :rolleyes:). The guide was smoking, but very intrigued by my mod. Especially when he found out how durable it’s supposed to be, and no smoke to bother clients ( yay, hopefully he makes the jump). I was relieved to find out the battery made it that long

Looks like stripers.. aka striped bass

Yes :p. Not native, but they thrive here in the lake. Great fishing!!!! It made for a fun and relaxing night, vaping under the stars spotting constellations while we looked for the schools of bait. I may rethink my distaste for the 21700 batteries. At roughly 8 1/2 hours I still had 1/2 a battery left. Granted, I’m at 12 w, but for most of the time I was puffing away. Pretty darn good battery life, and really not that much heavier than running the Aegis with a 18650.

Taking pics of the wrong things, LOL, SHINIES I don't think I can give up. LOL it's a start. I staged it, the husband took it hence the picture quality. That's the virgin of Guadalupe in the background, love her she's like the "Dark" Virgin. 2 raidiuses with 2 p3 Kabukis on top and my TINY little Ego Mega one on something appropriate, my target mini.

I went charter fishing in the Chesapeake bay many years ago. By the end of the trip, we had two 55gal. barrels filled with orange roughy, and striper. Some of the best fish I ever ate. Great catch NolaMel. :thumb:

Wow!! They have super low limits here, 2 stripers per person on the boat. Chef son in law cooked it for dinner tonight. Incredibly yummy!

No, I’m at the lakehouse in Alabama for the week ... Lake Martin ( northeast of Montgomery). At home the limits are a lot higher. I’d pit this against sea trout for mild yumminess, beats redfish by a mile. At home we launch out of Reggio ( past Chalmette) and fish out in the marsh and lakes leading to the ocean.

Our striper was lightly breaded in cornmeal, fried in a cast iron frying pan in oil. It was delicious, had a very mild sweetness to it, and was juicy and crumbly. I was really upset when we finished all of the fish. Best fish I ever had.

Ok long story short, my brother in law had a little setup for mtl that broke.
I bought him a n-ego little mtl mod when I went to the b&m the other day.
Uses BVC coils which I can get anywhere so I thought cool it's cheap and hopefully he can smoke less. Oh and a 35mg salt nic strawberry juice.

I primed it and verified operation of vv etc.
Gave it to him he tried it and liked it.:thumb:

Then he dropped it.:blush:
It quit working.:censored:.


I fixed it:)

The dang bvc coil shorted out after being dropped 2 or 3 feet on to a wood deck. WTF

This happened almost as soon as I said that coil should last a good while but there is an extra in the box.:nah:

So I'm gonna stop and get him some more coils that hopefully will last longer than 4 minutes of him using it.:cry::cry:


So much for my good deed lmao.

My only new shinys are poison ivy blisters from yesterday's yardwork.
I'm expecting another vaping shirt tomorrow though.

Meanwhile, until Colin releases his 6M subscribers celebration fireworks video...
...here's his epic vapocalypse bunker build from a few years back. Enjoy :pop:
