That’s what I’ve been doing since Friday. I thought the same thing Might just take time. I’m just worried about snow coming here quick. It’s very cold and getting to the point most of my work mates can’t stand being outside for long. My grandma says bunnies are tough though and have very warm fur. Much warmer than sheep’s wool. Still she doesn’t look happy trying to stay warm

Me and her are tougher than the other people working at my work though . All they do is complain all day and try to stay inside wth their hands in their pockets.

Me and Stevie are always outside though hehe even eat lunch outside. My hands are raw though splitting and cracking everywhere. I’ve never worn gloves in my 12 years doing this kinda of work. When you guys see pictures of my hands holding a mod you must think I’m homeless haha

Nah, good tools have wear and tear because they get used a lot!

You can do that. Then use nylon pliers to grasp it and pull it out a few times. After that, fasten one end to something or just grasp with regular pliers with the other end in the drill chuck and spin it until straightened (Don't think the direction will matter).

I found it. Thanks I have used that method for all my regular wire I have. it’s just with the pre twisted kanthal wire I have it was causing it to become untwisted. It’s 3 pieces of 28 gauge wire braided together into one piece of wire. I’m gonna try reversing the direction next time I work with it. And undoing some of the fibres at the end of the wire.

Or, you can just add a similar sized O-ring on top. That works nicely too. I just did that to one of mine this morning and it is solid as a rock. You don't want glue in that area, really truly, Dental floss is also a better option, I would avoid the flavored kinds, though.

MAN any second I am out of here and sooner than I THOUGHT. Bonus.

You and your super glue hatred Gonna start calling you the superglue police.

How come you didn’t tell him his IQ is non existent if he uses superglue anywhere on his vape? Mine was just on a squonk bottle too ha.

By the way did you ever end up supergluing your nostrils shut?

Bin it? I managed to use it as is to make my .28 7 wrap coils for my stacked mod. Works quite well.

I’m off to the gym. Had a nap on the couch after spending some time at my work trying to get Stevie into a pet carrier. She wasn’t having it . I don’t want to terrorize her and make her trust me less by chasing her and trying to grab at her. I left her be I figure she’s doing well for a domestic rabbit in the wild.

I’m just down I was all excited with the girl in the pet shop picking out treats and a nice cage and looking up homemade hutch ideas. Oh well guess she’s a lumber yard bunny.

Just makes me think of my old bunny I befriended at work years ago named Steve McQueen. He got squished by 15 thousand pounds of lumber eventually. He wasn’t too smart though I guess to stand there as it lowered down from above. Found half his body sticking out the side after looking worried for a week.

Here he is

you could always trap her. Seems scary and harsh, I know, but I do it with feral cats all the time in order to get them spayed/neutered. They get over it.
this is the kind I use:

If you have a local animal shelter they might lend you one

Can you sand off a rainbow finish? @Bigfoot77 or anyone else here?

The ss (or other metal) is anodized to achieve different colours. Its a chemical process that slightly penetrates the metal. Chemical removal is easiest. Here's a US product and a process that'll work for you....

Thanks for the concern

I live in Victoria BC Canada. I suppose I could try that I don’t want to see them get hurt.
I would take them all if I could .

I’ve been pretty down since failing to bring Stevie home. My mom says Mabye it’s not meant to be and I should try to get a wife. But I don’t want a woman I want my bunny home and safe. I’d like them all to
Be safe although It’s a pretty big problem and I wonder if they want to spend the resources fixing it . Or if bringing attention to the problem would cause them to be killed.

I do not know this place, I just goggled it. I do know that most rescues have volunteers and if you asked for some assistance someone might be willing to help. If I volunteered at this Rescue (and I do vol at many) and a request came about like this I would go help. They probably have traps too

My mom says Mabye it’s not meant to be and I should try to get a wife. But I don’t want a woman I want my bunny home and safe.

I have to say this cracked me up and thank you. First I am sorry you are down. Second, this seems like a typical mom thing to say.
Ricky you have a huge heart and there is nothing wrong with you sharing your life and time with any animal that you feel might need you.
I think my mom used to tell me things like that too when I was intent on dragging home every animal I perceived needed me. "I can just hear her "you seem to have so much love to give why don't you find a nice man"
If every person cared about just one animal the world would be a much nicer place.
I would not be down yet as I do not think we have exhausted all possibilities. In the world I am submerged in we do not give up when an animal needs help.
Please remember that just because she does not cooperate does not mean she wants to stay where she is and that it is better for her. She just does not know any better

let me know if you want to me to make the calls and feel things out

I can 100% guarantee that those coils do fit I'm using them right now they don't look like they would but they do fit. Actually there's like 10 plus different coils that will fit the Cerberus and out of all of them I would have to say at least the ones that I've tried the vaporesso ones are top of the line.

thank Ava!
These right?

let me know if you want to me to make the calls and feel things out

Aw you’d do that for me and Stevie ? Thank you. I know that thrift shop they talk about for animal supplies I work Mabye 5-7 minutes away. Mabye I could go in there too when I’m working.

Today I’m gonna be going into town to meet my uncle who lives up island to go look at a possible used truck for me to buy. I’m gonna be busy doing that for a while.

If I trap her I would pay to have her fixed and get some shots to make sure she’s healthy

If you want to phone and see if they have any resources that could help me I would really appreciate it If you need any info just PM me.

Good Morning Shiny People

Good night shinies.... Tomorrow's good morning will be from Nice in the Alpes Maritime

 

[Zazie]

@Ricky Vapes, maybe put food only in the carrier? Or a bit outside that she'd finish quickly and more inside to lure her in?

OK. I will just feel things out without having your info and then if I feel I have got someone that will help I will let you give me a ph number. Just one question are you town, out in the countryish? I do not know how big Victoria is but maybe give me a basic idea. PM is fine

People say “find a woman/man” like it’s just that easy.

@Ricky Vapes it was probably because I was going through this horrible period where my doc keep worsening and worsening my thyroid function. She wouldn't listen. I did not know how irritable I was until things returned to normal.

Now, I will stay on my thyroid regimen even if it means I have to kill, dissect, and desiccate the thyroid myself. Have a visit with my old Tucson doc, but the SECOND "possible" PCP decided I was like insane and granola I mean I am I just also know what WORKS for ME because I was like, "Dude I don't care about your piece of paper that says you know everything you don't know ME, so F off. I will never take Synthroid again I tried it twice and it sucked. Both times." So HE is referring me to an Orthiopath or whatever they're called. They tend to be a bit more tolerant of alternative treatments. I am mainly going to check this guy out because when I worked at the tribe they gave me B-12 shots for free, they had this alternative med practitioner and it was like ROCKET FUEL apparently some of my meds chew up B-12 like crazy. I would pay a copay for how I felt, heh. So like, I guess I will see this guy, but if I have to go back to Tucson, well I do.

If it's any comfort the doctor was even more self righteous than myself.

Wild animals can instinctively smell a trap. If you can't trap her with your pals (and yes, she will be terrified, and YES she will get over it) a wild animal trapping place really would help I would think. Even the Fire department, might be worth a call? They would come out and trap any kind of creature we wanted (usually rattlers as it happens in Tucson) and return them to their natural environment.

Your bunny will get over it. Our smartest dog yet got trapped after 2 years in the desert, he was pretty feral but my son's good with animals. They only thing he won't do now is housetrain.

Good luck!

It is easy to find a woman/man but one who does not suck and conversely feels you do not suck either? That is a LOT harder.

I know right?
It might be easy to find one, just any one, but try to find one that will not squander your wealth, wreak havoc with your trust, leave you alone 90% of the time (JK)
