This big guy surprised me in the kitchen just now. Leg span about the size of my palm.

Poor Bludger........

"According to elephant behavior experts, elephants are scared of anything moving around their feet regardless of it's size."

What kind of spider is that T??? It's pretty cool looking. And is it poisonous???

I used to handle a tarantula a buddy of mine had. She was a female named Wally and was very friendly. She would crawl up my arms and hang around on my shoulders. I never got bit. She was a good girl!!!

This isn't her but she was about this size.

@Pigs have you heard from @charlie1465 recently???

I sent him an email but haven't heard back. Usually he responds fairly quickly.

Even Bludger is asking What the !!!!

Surprise vape mail today from QP! Odd there was no custom charges. They included a pack of their cotton I'm eager to try out along with some battery sleeves.

It's the Brown Huntsman Heteropoda jugulans. Remember last year around this time I was trying to identify a spider (because of some behavioural anomalies, initially I thought it wasn't a Huntsman) and eventually found its ID? Same species. They've just started popping up again - about a month later than usual this year.
I"m not brave like yourself SMT. Don't like handling them at all!

@Pigs have you heard from @charlie1465 recently???

I last exchanged brief messages with Charlie at the end of October. He said he was well. Time to check in again.

He suffers mild arachnophobia but doesn't like to talk about it.

I love this charger, very easy to use (only 1 button lol). Just ordered a couple backups last sale. Think it was our Ange that drew my attention to it.

Hello Shiny's

I use Nitecore UM4 and UMS4, but none of them are old enough to say they are durable.

thanks folks. I ordered another Nitecore 6 bay. Same as the one that just died. I like 18650Battery Store. They are about 10 miles from me so I get the stuff fast. Sadly last week I ordered 4 21700's from the same store

Great, what atty do you plan to use in it?

No, I am not brave with unknown spiders. Your Brown Huntsman certainly would have startled me. Although I know the majority of spiders will only bite if disturbed/threatened.

Good to know. It was probably too late in France for him to see my email.

On 1 December Péter Sárközi of KHW mods (Dvarw RTA's) informed everyone in the FB group that PayPal terminated his account. PayPal sucks the big one.

And...... as of today Péter is processing orders using Wise for payments. Wise is one of the best, if not the best, for money xfer's. They have the lowest fees versus any of the other similar services.

Hopefully Joe flies under PayPal's radar.

If he has problems with PP perhaps have him checkout Wise. They're available in 80 countries. It only took me a couple minutes to setup my account using my bank for xfer's. Wise is 100% secure, easy, transparent, cheap and has good customer service.

I’m not sure. I’m just using the pod it came with right now. I don’t know if my ether boro will fit in it.

Broke out the Abyss/Ether combo today. Changed things up with a little 2.5mm SS316L clapton in place of my usual Ni80.

Wouldn't want to be your next door neighbour.
Hopefully Kevin doesn't like a long night drive.
