Good morning shinies,

I changed the bb themes a bit, now they have a lot more adjustment options.

Shopping lists are made for summer and autumn, I know what I want and will stick to the lists and not buy anything else.

Then I ordered wooden moldings for one of the rooms, and also something for the outside of the house, a type of bottom molding.

My summer is therefore fully booked.

What are pressings and what do they do?
It's just a type of thick plastic with a quick clip that we buy that we place over the house wood that is left to dry outside.

We have had a week of heavy rain

One of the things I enjoy most about this forum is glimpses of other people's lives - how similar and also how different we are.
I shop based on seasonally available produce and what's on special in any given week. No two the same. Living in a big city makes this possible I suppose although the weak points of this lifestyle were exposed during the empty shelves and shortages of the COVID days
Also I can't imagine having the discipline to make lists for months in the future and stick to them!

My lists are really simple, it's roughly divided into 5.
Lessons from the Steampipes fiasco have been learned, so there will be 3 lists from it.
I'm going to buy air pin kits for Cocoon (the atty I want but don't have :greengrin: ) I also forgot to buy air pin kits for my two Cabeo Editions when I bought the two, so that will be the first list.

List two is Cocoon.

List three are accessories for my atty favorites, which I will buy on Black Friday.

4 and 5 list is more uncertain, it is SvoeMesto and Dicodes, but in that case it is a Black Friday sale

Oh for some reason I thought you were talking about food/supplies. :facepalm:

The Cocoon certainly looks interesting. I'd be surprised if the cloners don't have their versions out pretty soon.

Hardly clone before batch 1 arrives, which is 2,500 units, first where the Chinese have a chance to buy one copy they can clone.
All parts apart from the air pin kit are made in house on a cnc mill.
Christian Adrian said that deck is where most of the production process takes time, much more time-consuming than Corona and Cabeo.

I am a big fan of the Adian family who design such pearls, a 3 man company, respect!

Cocoon is relatively expensive at €130, but it comes with a two pin kit, and cabeo drip drip and chamber reduction fit in Cocoon.
Fortunately, I have several spare cabeo DTs and a chamber reduction

I have a lovely cup of tea, think a bit about when the moldings for the house will arrive, it will be a bit of fun to do something that my wife will appreciate.

Speaking of her, she was with us when we split the house wood, she was the one who stacked the wood, to be a city lady from Singapore, she really impressed us.

She also loves dachshunds.

Not always true Tor. There are plenty of examples going back years where the cloners release at almost the same time as the authentic.
The CAD files are the source of course - nothing as clumsy as copying a physical piece.
Some say the original designers benefit (reputation- wise and financially) from the wide market that the Chinese clones reach - as long as the clones are accurate.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
now it's starting to get a little closer for the tractor since the one place is getting the parts we need, the most important is left, the diesel pump from service.
Tomorrow there will be a drive to the neighboring town!
Today I have been on the phone a lot, my brain was clear and I have been working on farm paper work, something I should have done a long time ago.

I think in the cases where the clones come out at the same time, it is because the machine work is done in China, and the cad drawings are forwarded to "friends".
Whatever other idiots say about the Chinese, they have a whole bunch of top notch machinery, not at all inferior to western equipment.

Someone said years ago that some clones were made on the same machines in the same factory as the originals. Maybe with small differences like a slightly different color of metal. The manufacturers knew they would only be able to sell a certain number as high price originals. They would adjust the numbers sold as originals and clones to maximise their sales and profits. Like, clones would get the design out there and popular, creating a demand for originals.

I ordered something from China. Not vape, a small brass nameplate for a wooden box I made for the GGD. It cost $5 plus $5 shipping.

I'm blown away by the speed as well as the shipping updates. The plate had to be engraved with the words I requested and it still got to the shipper 2 days after I ordered it. Made it through Customs in 1 hour and 3 days later it's out for delivery. Even the USPS part went lightning fast.

Some of the China vape stuff moves pretty fast too these days.

    Morning shinies ;)

    Meet the dotbox 100. And I absolutely love it. I've only had half a day with it, but in terms of handfeel it's brilliant. Its dimensions are tiny for a 21700 mod, especially with the IP67 rating. The chip has so many options to play with - in wattage mode without any boost it's hitting on par and fires damn fast. I'm definitely going to need another one or two.

    My matchymatchyness isn't on par today.

    I might have to get one of those. I’m not sure who’s selling them right now besides dotmod.
