the lure of the BB is still strong for me
It was for me too and if I were more into fiddly stuff at this point in time I might carry on with it. I do not want to play with orings anymore. I do not want to fiddle. I just could not get the oring to lay straight and not buckle and a leak is a huge mess, I had to take it apart and clean inside. Just me probably and others might be able to do better then me.

The first year after my husband died, my nephew mowed for me. But he’s grown, got a full time job. Every year, I call every company I can find and have not been able to get anyone to even call me back.

I hire out the open/close of the pool, and hire a gardener for the flower beds, but I’m stuck with the lawn.
I went through this too. Everyone I did reach wanted year round contract even though in Georgia grass is dormant in the winter. I had a rider so I just plugged through doing it myself. A few years ago I was still enjoying it too but not last year. Just became too hard and took me all week with many breaks in between. Thankfully I am out of that house with the pool and could not be happier. I considered having the pool filled in but it was almost as much money to truck in dirt as it was to build it in the first place. I sold the home while the pool and lawn had value so I did not have to hassle maintenance anymore. Have you considered doing that? It was hard for me because of the sentimental attachment but it was hard to manage and keep it all up solo. Foot loose and fancy free is pretty darn nice

    On my way to the DR. I stepped wrong yesterday and pulled something in my leg. I mean GAWWWH, you cannot even step wrong once you hit 60 or you practically shatter. Getting old and feeling it in Georgia.

    Isn't that the truth about getting older. At least they don't charge $240.00 in So. GA for mowing like I just paid in Ky. If you don't mind me asking, are you in north, middle or south GA?

    Awwh, come on Chanelvaps was it really that bad? It's a shame because i can't believe it was something you did. I must have rebuilt my vapeshell about 4 times and the glass comes off and on three times a day and i've never had any of the things you did.

    Feel quite sad that you had such a bad time with it actually :)

    Metric I can do. Celsius not so much.

    Oh, and km/hr speed limits are not even on the agenda. I mean 100 is 100, right? Who has time to do the conversion math when you're cruising along?

    No, temperature is difficult, but the funny thing with me is when the UK went metric I was doing a lot of things still in the old way but in building it was so much easier to use decimal so I forced myself and got used to it. I also used to do all my temp in Fahrenheit too but once I got used to it celsius was fine.

    It's not a case of conversion it just is...if that makes sense. I know that 31 degree's is getting too hot and 21 is the minimum for feeling confortable. Then when I moved to France all the speed limits were in KMH and now that's the same also...

    Bottom line once we relate the new number to the real world, conversion is just not a thing :)

    think I've helped convert another smoker to vaping. early days i know but i could see the face change with the first puff they had on the sxmini mi i sold them for a rather splendid price along with some 555 12mg i made specially. they'd tried various cheap kits in the past but this was the 'you know? i can actually do this' face.
    the 5 day weekend i was due has morphed into a 4 day weekend but I'm not complaining and it started 70 minutes ago.
    i believe jim beam is visiting this evening. cheers all :toast:

    Just had to get in touch with Fasttech support again. It's now 30 days since the order was placed. Still seems to be lost in China, support were supposedly checking with their shipping agent which was 3 days ago. I think they're fobbing me off, so I've stated I want a gift certificate for the total value of the order or I will involve Paypal (which I don't want to do). Really annoys me because I shop there all the time and the service is usually great. But lately it's been very hit and miss. Sorry for the rant folks, just needed to get that out of my system.

    Yeah, I had just enough time to get the feel of centigrade weather. Then I moved to the USA and had to adjust back. Now I've lost centigrade so when I take a trip back home I have no idea.
