I've fallen off the wagon, been run over a few times, and when I actually managed to get to my knees, the horse came back and kicked me in the head ..........

"Well piss!" Reckon somebody ought to build some higher rails on the wagon. Would imagine a horse kick is worlds of delicious pain. Had a steer kick me in the sternum as a boy, bounced off the stock pen wood fence. Me and PawPaw J were banding them.

'Member correct I had fun with two fractured ribs. PawPaw J showed me how to wrap up for a few weeks, nice enough too he offered little me a swig from his hidden medicine bottle. "Do a man's work you'll be treated as a man," he told me. Realized today that I have worked the "then some" enough in my life to make up for others that didn't work.

That's a Life, it is the most bittersweetly beautiful thing possibly in about eight universes or more.

Went to get my trout (900g). Got an idea on why it was so difficult for the poor guy to fillet it. His knives are so dull they're about as effective at cutting as a perfumed shoelace, I'd be surprised if he could cut butter.
I'd advise anybody that owns something even remotely looking like this

to immediately throw it out. Well except if your knives are so cheap you just throw them away and buy new ones when they're dull.
His knives were much more expensive than mine (like 60€ for the small paring knife ) but their edges were completely fd. Now I have to spend a few hours restoring them so he can call them knives again

On my way out I at least threw his knife "dullerer" in the bin

Happy Friday shiners! So the FedEx guy must have been scared off by the snow as my delivery was rescheduled until today. Too bad as I had my rda wicked and ready to go right onto the Topside. Hopefully that'll happen today. I'll have to use my 18650s in it until my 21700 delivery from IMR. Oh, and a Recurve scheduled for tomorrow. Be fun to see what that one's like.

 

[Letitia]

Love the Recurve!

Morning Shiny's.

Good morning you lot. Snus is here. Will be happy to go home and get it all. LOL. Going home tonight and even packing up (hopefully) before work and just heading home. I think I have time to do it, I woke up early.

Yesterday I woke up late and I have no clue WHY. I also woke up EXACTLY an hour late, so I did not notice because all the times were "right" except an hour later.

Yes, this would be an ADHD problem. It was disconcerting to like think I was all smooth and in the groove, only to find out I was NOT.

Also had to rebill what seemed like a billion notes because I had billed them incorrectly like, for a week. Did it over lunch and it was... Unpleasant.

So I will take a half hour early to be quite honest, just gotta make sure I don't still here to long, because I want to pack. I'm just gonna do my regular time, and then like, instead of yoga (I am tired anyway.)

I am watching clocks Very Closely.

Honestly I probably could have said nothing and been Just Fine but I am like this stupid self-reporter of lateness plus "I will stay late." IDK maybe that's bad but I'm not habitually late and I'd rather just say so.

THANKSGIVING SOON.

LOL.

Aarrgghh! The rotating postal strikes here may soon begin to impact my fing good nature.

 

[stols001]

Fidola it won't let me quote you for some reason I have my eye on the Miniken raw.

Honestly, like IDK about the cylon. My screen started going bad when I turned down the brightness but since I turned it back up it went to normal. I did ask for a warranty when it was going bad (I thought it was gonna be permanent) but that's not the issue, I am somehow missing a couple top screws that hold the top of the mod steady. I am fairly sure the husband can replace them.

They did send me that other mod as a replacement but I handed it directly to the husband, he likes it okay but said "it is a bit flimsy." I was not impressed with its appearance either. It's no cylon but I mysteriously LOVE that vape immensely.

Gotta love the QC with these companies. I've been lucky that the screen on my Cylon has been ok. There's just no rhyme or reason for the problems these things pop up with.

New dual battery squonker:

Pulse dual Kit | VANDY VAPE® Full Steam Ahead

I'm not a fan of the way it looks, but I'm sure it will sell well. I see it for $85 US online

 

[untar]

I'm not a fan of the way it looks

Me neither, I already commented on that in the thread on the device Pulse dual battery squonker
In a nutshell: it looks like dogs and to me it's a step back appearance wise. There's really no distinction to mods made by the big modslingers.

Morning shinies

Bought a new pair of shiny scissors exclusively for wicking - tails have never looked so good My CDO won't let me use them on juiced tails - so I now have 'wet' & 'dry' scissors

Why spend 85 on this when the vtx200 is like 110. Unless dual battery portability is that important.

 

[Tralfaz]

Gotta say that while I'm generally not interested in much of the new gear coming out, I do love how prolific the vape industry has been in the past year or two. Too many options is a good problem to have.

No shiny for me today. I'm getting picky now.

 

[NolaMel]

My usps informed delivery has noted a mystery package they have received from a “shipping partner”... could it be my FT order???? Please please, I hope it is . Aegis mini says today for arrival , but it’s not marked out for delivery. I suspect tomorrow, but considering eightvape shipped it yesterday, pretty darn good!!

 

[Tralfaz]

Ooo, I love a mystery package.

Afternoon fellow kit consumers,

It's Friday, it's 5 O'clock and it's Crackerjack (Old line from a UK children's TV program).

All my shiny (even the stuff from China) has now arrived bar one packet - the batteries. Second class normally takes 2 days, 2nd class batteries clearly more. Hope they haven't been hijacked by the postal service, I've read horror stories of packages being destroyed as they are dangerous.

Anyone in the UK looking for a decent mod/atty supplier could do a lot worse than ecigone, emailed them about the Dolphins' door and they are sending me a replacement set. Can't get any better service than that.
(ELF disclaimer - I have no relationship with them other than a satisfied customer).

Can anyone advise me how I set up a blog on here? Have lots to write but can't for the life of me work out what the relevant link is.

Went to get my trout (900g). Got an idea on why it was so difficult for the poor guy to fillet it. His knives are so dull they're about as effective at cutting as a perfumed shoelace, I'd be surprised if he could cut butter.

I've got one of these:

I call it the "knife killer". My favourite kitchen £10 knife is > 25 years old, and it keeps it really sharp at the cost of removing a lot of metal. Not as good as a whetstone, and clearly not advised for high quality knives, but I can slice onions and garlic transparent after using it.

 

[VapourFlavour]

I'm sure this is old, but still funny

 

[Tralfaz]

I've been hand sharpening ever since I nearly killed a Wusthof with the grinder on the back of a cheap electric can opener.

 

[untar]

Hope they haven't been hijacked by the postal service, I've read horror stories of packages being destroyed as they are dangerous.

There's laws governing how LiIon batteries can be sent (I'm sure the UK has one as well) - if the sender doesn't conform and customs get a hold of your package...

For sharpening I get those
Naniwa | Dictum
and made myself some strops from thick leather (one laced with chromium oxide).
My knives split a falling hair. I don't have to cut onions, they fall apart neatly as soon as they see my knife
