    You'll have to take some time and tell us about your time away plz mate...sounds very exiting :thumbs:
    Surely you took some photos for us :p
    Sounds like you are having tons of fun with your e-bikes. Way to go! :)

    Shiny folk, this is all off topic, so cruise on by if looking for vape stuff. TY :pervy:

    So my trips up into the north woods... The gal up there is a longtime friend of ours. We all used to hang around from our young days on. And we all went to the same elementary and high schools together. Funny but true, she was one of my early girlfriends. Lol. It was her, my wife and another gal (also one of my early girlfriends, she breeds and trains GSD's). We were the 4 amigo's and did nearly everything together. ;)

    Anyhow, the gal up north got into horse training at a young age and is really good at it. Very kind and compassionate in her ways. She has taken so-called trouble horses, that otherwise would have been put down, and brought them out of their shells. Uses only bitless bridles as they are far more humane and much easier on a horse. I call her a horse whisperer but she hates that name with a passion. She hauls off and smacks me whenever I call her that. Lol. In addition to training she boards some horses. Her business is all word of mouth. She is also an artist and a musician.

    The wife and I used to go up to her place to help out and ride several times a year. Since I lost my wife the Dog, Cat and I still head there a few times each year. It's pretty secluded. No city in the near. No traffic, no air traffic and no people - perfect. I love horses and had an uncle who trained them. Learned to ride as a youngster. Both bareback and on a saddle. Can't do bareback anymore.

    Most of my time on this last trip was spent helping with the never ending chores. We rode a couple times each day. Totally awesome. On clear nights up that way you can see like zillions of stars and constellations. I can't see but a few in the city with all the dumb lights. There were a few nights that we put out some hay, as like a lounger, put some blankets over that and laid out all night just watching the stars and taking in the many sounds of nature. Very nice and super relaxing.

    @Pigs would love bringing his Pro Tools mobile kit and professionally recording all the different morning and evening sounds. Some directional and ambient mics would work miracles. :D

    On one of our early morning rides she stopped and looked ahead somewhere in the distance. She pulled up her binoculars and whispered "wolves". Handed me the binoculars and sure enough I managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of a pack. They were difficult to see but you could make them out. That was a very special treat. Wolves are very smart and super stealthy. If they don't want to be seen or heard, you will not know they are around. There are also black bears up there. Even a small cougar population though rarely ever seen by people. You need decent trail cams and know where to place them to catch those.

    As far as any recent times pics, nope. I haven't taken any up there since I used to have a 35mm camera. I do have photos in a box somewhere in my house. The last time I was up there I lost my smartphone. Found it two days later in the yard. Ever since then I just leave it on a table at the house when I go out. My carriers cell reception is spotty to horrible.

    It's just her, her two daughters and one of their BF's who run the place. The older one is really good with training horses. So, she wants me to come back up for the rest of the summer. I would love to but I do have a home and need to find someone to do the yard work and stuff. We've talked about me selling, or renting, my house and moving up there. But I've had this home for just over 30 years, and yeah, memories and all that jazz. If it wasn't for that I would have been living there already. ;) So IDK, we'll see.

    Are you talking about NutSacs again?!

    Welcome back SMT :wub:
    All you missed on my account was a flood, a luna eclipse and lots of muddy frosty mornings :D

    Since my 14yo nephew out-photographed me, here's his pics of the lunar eclipse:

    And the moon rise that night:

    Both taken on an SX60 hs, in full auto mode, hand held. That first pic would've been a 2 second exposure. As the moon was so high during the eclipse, he was lying on my deck with outstretched zombie arms (my suggestion) snapping away. I used my tripod sans zombie arms.

    Here's some fresh snow from last week:

    Thanks Ange :)

    A flood??? I hope you guys and all your critters are ok. :wub: Howz my Luna girl? ;) Train her to wick rba's yet? Lolz. Awesome photos. Your 14yo nephew is talented. Snow already. Is that early for you folks or is it that you are just that far south that this is normal?

    Well I helpfully disengaged my shiny no go shield so that you all could benefit from my testing capabilities....I know...I'm so altruistic :D

    I'm vaping it now with my Mango cream and I've got the same in my dot aio...it gives a really balanced flavour in comparison. The dot is bringing out more of the top notes whereas the cream comes through better with the Edge whilst not swamping the Mango. I'm really glad I got two :eek:
    Well... FWIW you still have me thinking about getting one. The more I look the more I like, the more I like the more I want. :p

    You must have some new Romulan, Klingon or Borg (or simple Russian :lol:) technology that hacked into my systems and disengaged my shields. :D

    I did not see those photos, nope, did not. Absolutely not!!! ;)

    It looks really nice Charlie with the new ext tank. Happy for you Mate. :thumbs:

    PS: Seeing as you have another on the way...will you be starting a lend lease program? j/k :lol:

    Road trip,yeah baby!!

    View attachment 944891

    And about the NutSac shoulder bag do not worry,i will be bringing my new brown ''leatherish'' man bag i ordered from Fasttech:

    View attachment 944893

    We going to be styling baby!!
    On the shinyitis front i got this morning a change in status from Fasttech,now I'm pre-advised :banana::banana:

    Waiting on a ton of packages,the bike i got my pops should be here by this weekend.
    Will post a pic once i get it assembled,i know its not vaping related but since i chose the bike over new vaping gear for me i think it deserves a little spot in this thread ;)

    P.S: Good memory buddy,yeah it was the Mercedes camper van i was drooling at he he
    We will have to make a documentary. Perhaps hire Richard Attenborough to narrate. Maybe call it "Javi and SMT's Grand Adventure". Knowing you, you probably have a better name ready to go. I'll rent us some GoPro's. Hopefully we can get @Pigs to mix the vocal tracks and add some insanely crazy music.

    Ya know, if you add a box to the bike and put a couple vape mods in that you would have the perfect photo for the Shiny thread. :D

    Yep roughly the same for both of mine....except mine have been measured :DView attachment 944897
    Happy to hear "yours" is been measured. We don't need to know how big (or small). :D

    Slight delay, that costly measurement. Important Breaking Vape Shipping Newz has it that @Pigs package was able to skip that minor 'implified' step and proceeded directly to the departure gate and waiting plane. :lol:

    Ummm... on your phone, what is "Implified English" anyways??? Do you have an example or two for us??? ;)

    did you have to restart the clock on that?!
    Which one? NutSac or Neuticles? Once upon a timesee there was a lengthy discussion in this very thread on neuticles. Might be worth a searchlookbacksee. Up2You. :D

    IIRC there was also a lengthy ordeal about the NutSac mens shoulder bag maybe a year ago or so.
    IMG_0044Acr.jpg

    Per the official NutSac website - women also love them - many do buy their own. Although women would need to purchase Neuticles to fill theirs. Most men, not so much. :D :lol: :lol:

    Somewhere between here and there
    Morning all!

    I was up in the sewing room early before the heat sets in. Trying to finish embroidery on a hoodie for the middle granddaughter’s birthday - it was last week, I already gave her my gift, but her older sister asked me to make this for her to give her.
    65,000 stitches, 28 color changes, and 4.5 hours in with 30 minutes to go it caught on something and there’s a hole below the design. :( so I’m going to stitch something over the hole lol. I’m not starting over.

    I was contacted by Freemax to do reviews, they say they have some new stuff coming out. I only have a tank or two from them, it’ll be interesting to see what else they put out.

    I've been doing reviews for them on and off for a while. I just did the Marvos pod mod a short time ago and they supposedly have two more in the works that they want me to review. The coils I've tried of theirs give great flavor. I've always enjoyed reviewing their stuff.

    Crazy idea folks,now hear me out:

    Was thinking about a road trip,so how about this,we form a ''pool'' lottery wise i mean.

    So the idea is this,we form a pact and whoever wins the lottery (big numbers i mean,high 6 figures or low 7 figures) has to get the caravan (rent or buy) and procure plane tickets for the rest (none lottery winners) so we can go and visit @Daniel Forsyth

    Why Daniel you may ask?

    Well first i do not trust him,it is not humanly possible to own that many Asmodus...i am guessing he is a computer specialist and its all CGI.

    Second,never been to Australia so that is another reason to go.

    So i am guessing @ShowMeTwice you on board with the idea?

    I am guessing we can fit 6 or 8 of us in one of those big motorhomes so come on folks,who wants in this little pact of mine?

    Could be a cool adventure ;)
