honestly these BBs sound like a pita unless EVERYTHING is just so. Forget it!! I need some leeway for my previously electrified brain. Lol!!

but of those of who you have one - enjoy!!!

Maybe I just had beginners luck but mine has been the least fussy thing. I was a bit freaked out about winding such a tiny coil but even that went better than expected. As with everything else, if I can’t figure it out, someone here can help. I’ve not had any issues I couldn’t resolve by asking a question.

BBs are easy. The boro tank can seem a bit strange at first but it's a practical design. If they were too complicated/fussy/fiddly they would never have become such a popular device in the first place

i have learned if you watch a B movie that really is C-.being so bad it's actually good.

Good morning shiners!

Life continues, in spite of pandemic craziness. Relaxation is more important than ever today in this age of hypervigilance. Tubing and swimming are good for social distance as they have been historically, and are good in general (if you can swim!) as long as you don't group together and are not immunocompromised. Stressing doesn't prevent infection, good practices do. Don't swim in bacterial filled waters if you are susceptible to bacterial infections, etc. You can swim and tube without being social, though I was refererencing past years experiences (pre-pandemic practices). As far as living among serpents, life is not without it's perils, and no matter how safe we try to make it, there will always be threats we cannot control out there. And (non-human)snakes are the least of my worries, might be a welcome distraction right now, and a tasty source of protein.

(I may have taken this out of context, trying to cover all my bases.)

How do you rescue a non-swimmer while staying 6 feet away?

I still can’t figure out how to get a haircut without the barber being on the other side of the room. I don’t think they make 6 foot scissors, do they?

Getting two days off this week, mixing and cleaning tanks is top on the agenda.

Good morning shinies

Take a look at this. It was made by a BBC sports commentator whilst locked down at home....

Kudos

Had a public address from our president last night locking us all down until the 11th May but also talking about loosening the restrictions after that to get the economy kick started. Seems we may be able to move around again but with restrictions. I'm high risk though and he said that we should still stay in It's still going to be difficult but was some good news all the same.

Stay safe everyone

Loved this Charlie!

One of my most very favorite shows from my childhood.
I wish this happy and innocent world really existed.

what’s a Falcon and do I want I’m one lol??

Arguably one of the best drop-in coil sub ohm tanks ever made. It's my favorite of my non rebuildable tanks.

 

[virm]

so ya'll are mostly ol__ more experienced__ err
what do you do when you realize you'll be co-instructing a seminar next week on a topic you don't know anything about after you'd embraced the presumption that the world-hiatus would last indefinitely while the diligent main instructor was reading his arsch off?

never tried the upper bit of that pic_ the lower part i started loving (pulse mode on elevate) but later realized it overcalculates the resistance, burns coils if not pops them

Use the little time you have left to study your ars off?

Have never had a problem with mine. Yes, I use pulse mode, but adjust the wattage to where I want it.

Shinyville! Sunny with cool, fresh, crisp, clean air this morning. Going to be a high of 70° F. The perfect weather I wish could last all year round. Hoping everybody is having a happy and healthy day.

cant i just have some sort of fake injury to excuse myself?

 

[Opinionated]

nah I’ll stick to the occasional nor’easter and pay some1to shovel the pathway.

no earthquakes. No wildfires, no falling into the ocean, even shorter commutes. I’ll keep the occasional snow storms but thanks I heard the weather is wonderful from my sisters though!!

Lol... I don't know falling into the ocean sounds cool.. haha

I hadn't watched the news until this morning, apparently that weather system was pretty bad in the world there... sorry for those who lost homes and lives, for real.

We are so insulated here where I am (in the hollow) the rest of the nation seems far far away... It's kind of nice in many ways but when I skip the news I miss stuff.

Here Wormy. I attached the excuse form I use for my son when he's sick.

I have shown a few pics of the good morning smoothies. This is what my afternoon smoothies look like because it has Kale and Spinach. YUCK.
I call these the ugly smoothies. Luckily it also has strawberries and blueberries making it taste good enough.
I have found it to be a good way to eat right.

Back in the 90's Indiana banned the sale of fireworks, but they allowed exceptions. You had to fill out a form saying which exception you were claiming. One was you would be using them out of State. My brother in law had a contrary nature and he always ticked the box saying he would be using them for religious ceremonies. Nobody ever checked so firework shops were unaffected by the ban. Amazing to think some politicians and bureaucrats got paid to design and implement that law. And all those forms got sent to a government office and filed somewhere.
