one of my eyes resembles christopher lee's in the 60s version of dracula just after some red stuff sippin'. plenty ouch too.
will spare you the photography. it is shiny but not in a terribly presentable manner.
the blinding peeper wash seems mostly ineffective.
on the plus side it may revolt colleagues tomorrow. every cloud and all that.
have prescribed myself russian vodka. i did study latin at school so am fully qualified in such medical matters.

Conjunctivitis? My kids used to get that all the time, of course sharing with me. Miserable stuff.

The summers kind of make up for it. Kind of...
Yeah, ummm.....
I worked for Sylvania in Danvers, MA for years (I didnt' live there, but went frequently).
I learned southern mosquitos are wimps. I swear the mosquitos there were so plentiful, and BIG- I saw at least one that was biting me had a tick on it.

Every grub screw I’ve ever seen is in metric so a metric set of quality hex drivers is the way to go. From what I’ve seen every hex screw I’ve used in a tank was either 1.3 mm or 1.5 mm hex head, so really those should be all you need. But if you get a good deal on a quality set I’d just get it.

You should know better than to hand this crew such a perfect straight line ;)
I have a porpoise.

I've eventually filtered my home brewed tobaccos...latakia and two other tobaccos. Been sitting in the PG for almost two years :w00t:. Kinda lost interest and never got to it.
It damn well surprised the bewhatever outa me.
Its gorgeous. Clogs the cotton up in no time, but that don't even concern me. For this taste/flavor, i'll rewicked twice a day.
Man it tastes better than any of the latakias I bought and paid for.
On the other hand though...anything tastes better in the Unicorn :thumbs:

The mosquito is the Minnesota state bird :D

Yeah metric is the way forward...America will eventually catch up :p
That's what they told us circa 1968. Spent time on it in elementary math classes, being told that's the only system that would exist in a few years. Still waiting. We're still "inching" towards it, but have "miles" to go.

Wish we'd have done it forever ago. Would make life easier.

    evening shinies_
    very dull and mopey greetingss_ i;m back in the wicking nightmare. 40 cottonlaces thrown out by now. i'm thinking abt cancelling my order of wire etc :(:(:(

    can't wait to catch up on the last day or so... loads of shiny shines i see!

    Take pics of your build, post them here, and the guru wickers will help you :wub:

    Don't cancel your order. My first 6 months of building were all about trial and error - with the odd good build thrown in. Every new RTA I got, required me to learn that process all over again.

    I'm also glad I learnt to coil and wick RTAs before I got hooked on squonking and RDAs. RDAs are much easier to wick. But thanks to what I've learnt with RTAs, I understand the wicking process now, what will work, and what won't.

    Could not agree more :wub:

    I went a tad extreme as one atty I have uses a 0.9 hex. No recollection what that atty is :facepalm: So I wanted a hex set from 0.9 up, as well as a pentalobe p5. I got this kit locally, but it's at FT:
    $18.21 Pro'sKit SD-9857M 57-in-1 Multi-bit Screwdriver Repair Tool Set 57-pack - suitable for cell phones & watches & more repairing at FastTech - Free Shipping

    Installing a hex grub screw with this beast of a kit is an utter joy :D

    If it's conjunctivitis, it may be contagious, so don't go rubbing your eye on anyone (a sacrifice for you, I know). It could also be iritis (AKA anterior uveitis)--something I get regularly in my right eye--which isn't contagious and is treated, usually, with a course of steroid drops.
