Damn. I was hoping that before I got to the end of this thread there'd be a post from @stols001 saying the dog had been found. I will worry till there's good news (and the news will be good--I insist).

I haven’t been here since last night so I haven’t heard what happened. Was the dog living with her at her new place)

So here is what I have going (in carts but not yet purchased) Digi-Flavor Themis and Kaes Solomon 2 and some more coils for this darn BB that has became my right hand man and some more Tough Cookie by Infamous. I am so in need of a new RTA and after some research and review reading I have decided on these two. I usually do not buy every new RTA that comes about. I wait for others to try it and listen to what they think. This will be it for me for the sales. I am currently trying my hand at refinishing furniture with chalk paint and spent a ton of money at the paint store.

Oh I’d love to see how the furniture comes out. Please post pics. I have a large wood bookcase that I need to do something with it. It’s going in a room with a cottagey feeling.

Oh no. The husband lost the dog. He left the side gate open, and now the dog is missing. IDK what to do. We could drive around for a bit, I guess.

I'm sort of thinking the dog will return. That sucker's crafty. He lived out his puppyhood for two years in the desert without dying.

I think if the dog is gone forever, I am a) going to like, freaking have to adopt a puppy for the husband. The husband does not do well, dogless. I'm letting him smoke outside right now so he can cry, unabashedly.

I also think I would have to tell the kid, not my husband. I think the little dog's okay and all but I was not the adopter of the dog (although I did pay through the NOSE for it) and I was not the steward and temporary custodian of the dog (that would be my husband.)

Although, the little dog does love my kid best of all. Whenever the kid shows up, like he would JUMP joyously on his lap and start licking the kid's face.

Oh no. We better find the damn dog. It's a new place. I still sort of think the dog may return.

My husband was like, "He didn't have his collar on. Anyone could take him."
I was like, "Yeah, that's a problem that he did not have his collar on. But, he will end up at the dog pound, not in someone's house. Nobody wants that elderly mutt."

Sigh. I'm going to give him until the evening to return. I think he will, he usually does. I am not putting up heartfelt flyers up about the little dog, I have offered to drive around with the husband for moral support, I will call the pounds tomorrow.

I better start beaming "Oh no you BETTER not" at my resident coyotes, though.

Make sure to let the local animal control center know as well as any shelters that are in your area. The number one way missing dogs are found is with posters at stop sign for at lights.

I work with missing dogs of Massachusetts and of Rhode Island. Put his bed or blanket outside in the yard. If he’s still around he’ll be able to smell it.

Hope he gets found soon.

Love this show. So many great characters and performers. Season 2 is my favorite and inspired me to make Apple Pie (with Everclear, not real moonshine, unfortunately).

hope you did not put something in the glass before hand,when sharing.

 

[stols001]

That's useful. The shelter is closed until Tuesday? I'm hoping someone turns him in. May put up signs tomorrow.

The dog is here because the husband is here, we can't leave the dog so he comes up. Husband left gate open. Husband did not have his collar on.

Trying to have Empathy for the husband because I know he feels awful about it.

I’m enjoying a peaceful afternoon watching the Red Sox and vaping on my gorgeous stealth Provari P3 and Aspire Nautilus 2.

AHA! Thought you'd just sneak that in there...didn't you! So, about a week ago or so, you had no ProVari at all, and now...if I'm counting right...you have 4 of them??? All I can say is....

 

[Eskie]

Hope everyone has had a good day. After the many other things I had on my agenda i've finally managed to put a build in my Haku Venna clone. I decided to go with a SS coil staggered fused clapton, 26g+32g x2 32g 5 wraps which came out at 0.25. It's a bit lower than I wanted and think i'll probably change if for my Ni80 flapton wire which will come out a lot higher.

I feel that RDA's like these are best at 0.5 and higher especially when used on a single squonker. It's still not half bad you know

Running at 35 watts on the VT Inbox and a really good flavour. Smooth as silk too.

Wow! That looks huge in there. TBH, I use those little 22 mm attys on mech squonks with simple round 26G about 0 5 ohm. I do have a simple Clapton in the KRMA, but these little guys do great with simple builds. There's very little space in there for heat dissipation so you'll also get a super hot cap with metal caps.

The apparent fact that you keep your husband collared in the basement qualifies as TMI. There are other web sites for such discussion.

 

[pericat]

Haha. No it's cool folks. Much appreciate your help as usual. Don't waste any more time on messed up tracking. Just a bit annoyed by the whole thing and needed to vent.

Yeah, well. As someone who spends a fair part of her workday parsing addresses and related information as translated from the original [Chinese/Japanese/related language], the whole reads to me as your package was sent off to be put on the plane or boat or whatever, and when it got there they saw it didn't have a (or the correct) customs documentation, so they flipped it back to get that.

I could be wrong, I often am, but I am pretty sure that's what is going on. It is now either in a building or department where the name literally translates to "Proper investment" but would actually be translated as something entirely different if a person were doing it, OR it is in the stage of being properly documented.

Bottom line: you are justified in being annoyed, but I don't think you need to be worried.

I’m enjoying a peaceful afternoon watching the Red Sox and vaping on my gorgeous stealth Provari P3 and Aspire Nautilus 2.

MTLing was a breeze. I thought for sure I wouldn’t remember how but with 1.8 coils and a narrow drip tip it all came back!

I bought a Berserker and a Siren. I also have an Ammit that I purchased probably 6 months ago when I wanted to diversify my vaping habits! i.e. I wanted more toys to play with. no comments please !! !!!!

I’m hoping I get on with mine as well as you have with yours.

Realistically, it hasn't been that long yet that he's been out. I've had dogs get out of the yard and it be two days before I found them, and your husband is actively looking now, so you are doing what you can. I continue to have hope for a safe and happy return, for what that may be worth.

If you like, you could also with magic marker write on cardboard "small white elderly dog lost, he lives here" or something, and stick that out by his bed where passers-by can see it. And a bowl of water.

Firstly:
Agreed, Justified is a great show ... in fact, I recently started a re-watch.

Secondly:
Aarrgghh! The eMMC on one of my nanopi servers got effed up (didn't come back up after a brief power failure ... I know, I should set up a UPS solution) --- not horrible because the projects and writing were backed up, but still a pain to create/install a new armbian image on a micro-SD card and get the necessary software installed and configured ... on the other hand, everything is super up-to-date on that one now.

Thirdly:
Actually, I gave up on Thirdly ... Firstly has convinced me that another episode or two of Justified is what's happening now.

 

[chanelvaps]

Letitia it's 27th-29th UTC-6

today is the 26th and it sure is NOT working. I will wait until tomorrow to save that piddly $7

I have no bloody idea what you said, but.... yes, absolutely, take the evening off and binge watch!!! Nanopi armbians sound painful, you should rest

 

[Fidola13]

Are there any other coils that are compatible with an Aspire Nautilus 2 or just the Aspire ones? Thanks

Wait... so you’re going to the trouble to run an ARM based Linux but not the trouble of setting up a UPS system? The second is worlds easier than the first. It is more expensive of course.

My I’m procrastinating on the whole ARM hair ball until they’re about to stop updating Win8.1. And I’m hoping meanwhile something better will come along. Maybe Apple will get its thumb out and start making usable hardware again or Microsoft will release a spyware free version or something. I live in hope.

It was a quick turnaround wasn’t it !
Actually the truth is I received a small settlement check that I was part of a class action suit. So just bonus money to buy more vape gear!!! The thought of saving it never even crossed my mind!!

I’m trying single handedly to support our economy. I feel like I’m doing my part when I keep buying stuff!!

I’m REALLY enjoying tootle puffing rn. It feels like I’m vaping on a hookah. Of course I’ve never used a hookah but I imagine that it feels something like this. At least in my mind it does lol!!

 

[Fidola13]

Good morning all! Scooter blew it's engine in my dreams, no worries, it has been replaced. I bought a way bigger one, VERY shiny. It's much roomier and real comfy, so hop on...it's RV sized. King size bed in the back for those party poopers who need a nap already. Let's roll. Don't forget your vapes, but please no clouds up front cause I've asked Fidola13 to drive and we all know how that turned out yesterday.

Gonna be a bit before I catch up here, ya all are miles ahead already. And I thought I got up early but NO someone, ahem, started at WHAT...5:33AM...that's prime sleeping real estate there!

@Opinionated well I fully expected you to hop on, you never need an invite! Hey, smart you are with the way you posted, ding ding, learned something new and I haven't even finished my 1st cup. Might need to stop and get STRONGer coffee. If I have to start getting up at 5:33AM just to get caught up I'd have to go to bed at 9ish something.

OP, I love Chris Rodrigues & the Spoon Lady "Angels In Heaven"! Thank you. I would buy their CD in a heartbeat if they have one. I have very eclectic tastes in music (and in life). I have now listened to that more than I care to say and cranked it. Cat even jumped on my lap to listen. Spoon Lady BRINGS the rhythm. Spoons...are NOT easy to do. What is that GOOP she used?

@NolaMel thank you for the info. You won a Creek, awesomeness! Yeah, I am thinking first stop today might be VapinArt for a Creek and I might take you up on the MTL kit. You rock!

@Fidola13 morning nutty, it's nuttier here! You chillin' today? Mighty quiet...

@stols001 ya all don't give up yet, not even been a day!

@englishmick yes, you certainly do have a very talented wife. Better take great care of her. Ummm, and your talent is?

@ChelsB ----- What's up? Did you make the butterscotch? And since I know, send a recipe my way, please.

@Letitia bring the opossum, animals are always welcome

@Eskie as Fidola13 says, patience grasshopper, patience

@DeloresRose what, Y3K? There's old and then there's REALLY old. Thinking I'll be way beyond dust by then. Let's think about this, many of us are boomers, gen x, something I can't remember, millennials, have no clue what comes after...head hurts already. But we could ask the the Sherpa guide and the guru for help!

@Tralfaz I know you posted Bonza but my noggin' registered Bonanza, ya know Ponderosa ranch.

If you weren't mentioned, I'm sorry, wasn't intentional and don't x me! Ok, hang on...JCinFLA, Zazie, Heartsdelight, Eskie, Vape Muppet...screw it, go big or go home ---> @ everyone, you're all invited!

Rumor has it Opinionated is cooking and I can't wait cause I am hungry.

I better stop here or you'll all get annoyed w/me.

Whatever you’re on, I want some! Although lately I’ve been up up and away all on my own !!

 

[Fidola13]

@charlie1465 Was it you earlier looking for an atomizer stand?

Cthulhu Hastur Atomizer Stand

I got mine on eBay. They’re perfect. They come in different colors, materials and combinations. I had originally ordered a ten atty stand but recently needed to buy a 5 atty stand too. They’re perfect.

Just enter atty vape stand in EBay and you’ll find all kinds of them.

Those talking about justified reminded me that the new deadwood movie is on Friday night. HBO.
Loved justified and deadwood so looking forward to seeing what's up after the series ended.

You would also probably like Yellowstone on AMC.

 

[Fidola13]

Phewwh...just caught up...jeez

I’m still trying to catch up!!
