I do not want to sound trite but I think you are doing better than you think. We don't see the behind the scenes, but if you hold it together for the forum you probably do it elsewhere too. And even if you are faking it, if you just keep on faking it you will do it.

Oh wow, thank you! I just did an essay this morning for my grief group. Stuff we’re afraid of. I wrote about not knowing if I seeing myself as others do, what if I think I’m coping but that’s not how it really is? When you lose the person who is your mirror, who can you ask? I still feel pretty screwed up in the head, but if I’m at least presenting some semblance of normalcy, that’s good enough for me!

And with that, I bid you all a good night. Spending a little quality time with Harry Bosch.

So this thread is for people who but to many more or to help talk people into buying a mod?I'm kinda confused, sorry if this is a stupid question.

Means the coils aren't yet in sync. If strumming the coils doesn't help check that the screws are tightened on the slow one or that you haven't cut the leg with the screw. Doesn't hurt to count the wraps again either. If the coils aren't spaced you can space them and that usually works.

thats exactly what it was. A loose leg screw

We are chameleons. If you want to be talked into buying we will help you along, if you are unsure we'll help with that too. Not sure if you should buy a particular item we'll offer pros & cons, or better options. Welcome to the thread.

Hello @redeuce. How are you and those wonderful pups doing?

 

[Hightech Redneck]

Other than the paint it it looks comfortable to use. Haven't heard of a 20650 battery, something on the horizon?

Been around a while, better than an 18650. Hasn't been implemented for as many mods as the 2x series.

Either way. In a backhanded sort of way. We’ll give you a atta boy when you’re trying not to buy stuff, but show you the shiny and give you a star when you post a hand shot of your new toy.

Mostly talk you into buying new stuff though. Because shiny.

Timmy and Lucy are so cute! Nice to wake up to pup pix.

I was gonna go back to bed, but my dogs wanted to go out. And once outside, I noticed the moon peeking through an orange peel sky. So I grabbed the Nikon and tripod and tried to catch it. But all I got was a black screen. That sort of thing is beyond my skill set lol. I should have gotten in more practice with this camera. Still have my eye on a 500mm lense, would like a macro too.

I’ll say one thing, I haven’t had this thing out of the bag in a month, at least, and I didn’t charge the battery then. Still at 75%.

tripod time with a 500mm. even my 70-300 is unruly hand held. just started taking pictures again. when my mother had cancer i'd send her one every day. after she died i stopped taking them at all. after 3 years i'm getting slowly back into it...slowly.

Good morning!
The dogs and I slept well last night. Sunshine and swimming make my bones stop aching lol.

I will have to be cautious with Georgia in this heat. She gets so caught up playing, I’m afraid she’d just keep going till she had a heat stroke.

Rudy is starting to feel his age. He was having a bit of trouble jumping on and off the raft, and he’s noticeably stiff this morning. But he’s chipper. He goes to the vet for an ear check. Seems to be getting better. Actually, knock wood, he’s been well lately. He wasn’t doing so hot after my husband died. His hair fell out, and he was sick constantly. I really thought I was gonna lose him. So I maybe spoil him just a bit.

I’m going to wash my little bottles, go to the PO, and play in the pool some more, and that’s it today.

Oh, and pop in here and hassle you guys!

Elvis was 14 when my father died. One day he popped his head into his room and I told him "grandpa is not coming back dear". He passed away a few months after that. They were the best of pals, and my dad didn't want him in the beginning, saying that Airedales were agressive...

Now, Yago, our frenchie, pants really bad in hot weather. Now he's getting older we don't leave him out in the sun for long.

Good Morning Everyone, and Happy Friday!!

It's in the low 50s, raining non stop for the past 4 days. My car is broken and I'm running out of groceries...

PIZZA PARTY!!!!!

 

[Susaz]

I got some shiny delivered today.

- Got my new Puma shoes delivered
- My Therion Squonk was delivered
- My red leather cover for my Therion got delivered
- I ordered the movie "Pulse" from circa 1988, that was delivered.

Still waiting on my Pico's and wasp nano. A new mountain bike could be coming soon too.

I'm sorting out 35 tanks, some 12 drippers, 20 mods into a manageable 12 total. I mean, 3 single coil tanks, 3 double coils, 3 bf/drippers and 3 subohm tanks. So I'm having a hard time deciding what to keep and what to sell/PIF. I'm thinking of adding some new stuff, and of course, batteries to match. Some of my friends are already at the gate waiting and I'm having a hard time. When I'm finished I'll post a picture but it won't be soon since some things like the Billet Box are still on their way.

 

[Susaz]

Yes. 53°C

It's not actually that hot but close enough

Buenos Aires is unusually hot, sometimes hotter than Brazil, and mind you we're farther south. In January you can look into 100F temps easily, and last year electricity was so expensive we would climb into the car for AC... I wonder what this year will be. Let's trade! Temps here are in the low 50s now!
