Couple of years ago all the feral rabbits on Vancouver Island, BC just died from something like Ebola for rabbits. Was tons of them then in like two weeks didn't see any......still haven't
I live on Vancouver island. I’m in Sidney . About 20 minutes away from Victoria. There’s tons. Even in Victoria there’s a lot.God I better bring my bunnies home now I’m worried.

I make little houses for them and have befriended /named a lot of them at my work. There’s one special one named Stevie nicks that hangs in the yard at my work who has her own house and comes when I call.

Good morning shiners!

KRMA rda & a Luna, or two ;)

Now you can really see how huge she is and only 9 months old :shock:

Flavour is awesome, and the airflow is really really smooth and quiet. I only did a 2.5mm id coil, but it easily handles huge builds. After vaping for 2 weeks pretty much on NarCas or NarEas - it's with them for flavour, just a lot QUIETER. I love it :wub:

She's beautiful. But isn't she a little young to be taking up vaping already?

I’m happy I was able to get a new used truck. This ones 10 years newer and an automatic. Had it checked out so I know exactly what it needs and know it’s not a lemon. Only 79 thousand km on the odometer. Pretty good for a 2008. My boy Toby liked going home in it yesterday.

Got hit with a surprise at the insurance place though. On top of the 700 bucks for tax for only 5 grand i had to pay I got hit wth a 900 dollar ticket I had to pay to transfer my insurance because of the 24 hour driving prohibition I had way back in March 2018. It didn’t show up when I renewed my insurance on July 2019 because In September the rules around that changed. Of course the seller was there when she explained what the ticket was for ha.

She says do you remember this? I said oh sure I was homeless sleeping in my truck at the time addicted to shooting dope. Their faces were priceless ha I don’t beat around the bush. She goes oh. Mabye they would help you out since your sober now. I said nah cops don’t have mercy for anyone. They hog tied me face down in a puddle for 30 minutes as they tore my truck apart then hit me with every charge they could.

I said lifes been hard I went to rehab and got a girlfriend but she relapsed and then eventually jumped off a bridge killing herself.

They were Both looking so shocked haha but I paid it all and got my new truck now.

I just said as we’re leaving sorry to had to witness how my past just won’t stop coming to bite me in the a.s.s.

He probably told his wife the guy I sold the truck to was a dope addict!

I asked him after wards do you need a ride home? He said no my wife coming ha! Probably was thankful for that

I worked a half day so I could go get my new truck and insure it . So I didn’t get to post about Stevie. But I took a couple photos of her by my truck out front.

I was upset today because right as I’m trying to catch Stevie the city decides to tear up the road that runs along the other side of the fence right where her house is at. They were setting off firecrackers and everything I’m guessing to scare away birds? She was up here by my truck all day and at the green house outside the property.

She wasn’t in the yard all day so I’m concerned she won’t be around to trap. I don’t want to do it where the other rabbits are and by the roadway and people. Mabye Saturday they won’t be working on the road. It looks like a big project too and I hope she doesn’t try to go past them working either. Too many worries :(
If you have a feral cat trap, check out youtube for a "bottle & string" trigger set-up. You use a water bottle with a long string tied to it to support the business end of the trap. When the target critter is safely in the dumb end of the trap, you pull the string to let the door drop. Practice it at home to make sure it is working right before taking it to the field. This also allows you to put something heavier in the floor of the trap to cover the mesh.

I'm sending good trapping mojo to you and Stevie. Trapping might be one of the worst things about having feral "pets." :wub:

I was going to mark this funny, not for the ticket, but for the peoples reactions. Wasn't sure it would be taken right though.

Go ahead I was laughing about it. I stopped being embarrassed years ago lol
I try to laugh at all the stupid/crazy stuff I did when I was getting high many years ago. I'm glad I stayed away from needles though, your a better man than I Ricky. Quitting that takes some serious willpower.

This was last year in Nanaimo .....I think they are fine now but then they were telling people with rabbits to keep them inside and to not go in home with contaminated shoes or boots etc. Still didn't see any this last summer like usual so can't be many left. Hope it doesn't happen there.

On other news .....things are getting a bit scary out there for bans and laws being made. Even Canada is back tracking so I am very glad I am pretty much well stocked up. British Columbia is adding 20% more and nic cap and I hope they don't back track on that. Very stressful

    Morning shinies ;)

    And I can't think of a better Mom for her. :) She really is gorgeous and probably even so when in full on shred mode. ;)

    KRMA... I have my coil raised just a tad above the deck cutout. It's positioned so the AF is hitting the bottom 1/3 of the coil. For me that's the flavor sweet spot. :thumb:

    She is the equivalent of a cavalier spaniel. Smoochy and cuddly, yet hyper, and loves to shred :lol:

    I set mine higher though.. the flavor is better when you set it up higher than those cutouts..

    I swear it's my favorite RDA for flavor - I've been hoping to get an authentic one before they stop making it..

    Thanks for the tips, you two. I had a feeling it wanted to be a bit higher - especially with a smaller coil id. I'd chain vaped the hell out of it yesterday, so I rewicked it this morning. Shoved the coil up a smidge, and Bob's your Uncle - I've now got even better flavour :D

    Ricky, I'm really impressed that you talk about this so openly and honestly. So important imo and one of the things that stops people knowing the good stuff is the whole aura of secrecy and embarrassment which stops it being talked about.

    So helpful to others going through a similar experience to know that it's possible to turn it around.

    You ought to do some talks at your local drug rehabilitation clinic :)

    Good on you my friend :)

    I've got the X and the standard and I'll be reviewing the X shortly. The standard is a very good pod system and the X features will just make it even better..... Looking forward to your thoughts also :)
