Good morning y'all!

Earlier this morning another Vicious Ant Spade 21700 mech was listed (same seller). It has the relatively rare desert tan finish. I bought it.

Good Morning Shiny People

Yes, I remember it well. It's still being brewed. Mickey's



“The Beer that Made Milwaukee Famous”. Schlitz is brewed today by the Pabst Brewing Company and is still popular here in Wisconsin. Schlitz was my dads favorite beer!

While we're at it, Old Style is also still around and brewed by MillerCoors LLC.

The Miller Brewing Company is only a couple minutes from my home in Milwaukee. 8.5 million barrels are produced annually in Milwaukee alone. I have many friends who work there. Miller offers tours and free beer at the end of those. Miller Brewery Tours

How about Milwaukee’s Best? That was the cheapest beer we could get when I was in the Army. We called it Milwaukee’s Beast

With a Daughter and Son who games online and all my TV stuff, I need speed... View attachment 969622

I haven’t done a speed test on the hardwired computer but it’s not uncommon to pull 200+mb on the WiFi on the first floor. Not so much upstairs.

It's in Los Angeles California now I asked them to put a tracer on it and send it 3 hours maximum away from Miami to Melbourne Florida and they sent it to Los Angeles California. I don't know what the issue is at one point it was going the right direction and now it is as far away as it can get and still be in America. I'm just going to write it off as a loss I am not going to get my prize lol I think for my own mental health at this point I'm just going to stop caring

This seems to happen a lot in the US.....it'll turn up.

I order then forget about it quite often

I may have bought a quart or two of that way back when, when I was poor. Needs to be ice cold. Remember mickey's big mouth? and whatever happened to schlitz?

Schlitz Malt Liquor in the quart, a nice 5%+ abv for when we were kids, highly effective. I think it's still around. I gave up beer many years ago. I like a nice dram of bourbon from time to time. I'll probably mix myself a couple of Old Fashions tomorrow during the Super Bowl.

Molson Coors announced the discontinuation of the original Milwaukee's Best in August 2021 as it cut back on its low-end beers.

However, Miller Brewing Co. still makes Milwaukee's Best Light, Ice and Premium.

I've got a WiFi extender SSID PutaMadre, on my window sill. This connects to our main router SSID ChooksWifi. Both were named by me!

As for the speed? A picture tells a thousand words....

Yep! It sums up my slow WiFi perfectly. Plus it annoys my sis. Whenever her friends connect to our WiFi, they ask her what it is

My Kroma 217:

It's now my favourite 21700 mod, even though I only 3 incl. the 217

Its best points are:
-A really really solid battery door and hinge.
-The fire bar
The hand feel - it doesn't matter if I finger fire, or thumb fire both ways feel comfy

-The chip - I still prefer f0 mode. But running this in Coil+ is similar. The lil genie inside the chip sends a tiny pulse at the end of each fire. It also feels more grunty in Coil+ than it does in Power mode. Using a preheat of N in power, I run it at 25watts. Using a preheat of H then I'm at 24watts. In Coil+ I'm at 23watts.

The only downside this mod has, is it's weighty. It seems to be in the middle of the weight range for 21700 mods.

My Son made me run a wire up to his room. My Daughter hasn't asked... Yet

After a little Googlefu I know what it means also.

She's still a friend of mine even if she likes the spice girls

I like the spice girls?!?!?

 

[ShowMeTwice]

I like the spice girls?!?!?

It's ok, everyone has favorites.

Word spread quickly all over ECF.

"DeloresRose LOVES the spice girls"

Thanks. It’s got me a little nervous switching since we’ve had cable or fiber for the last 23 years.

I was hesitant too, but a couple days with Roku and I was sold. There really wasn’t much in cable I liked - 200+ channels, and I watched 3. It was as $200/month for cable and internet, now I pay $50 for internet. I have Prime, Netflix , Acorn, PBS Masterpiece and Britbox for under $50.

I bought an A/C for my sewing room. I couldn’t find any available last year when I was looking, and it was way too hot to be up there. Shipping weight says 50lbs, but I’m hoping the unit weighs a lot less or I don’t know how I’ll drag it upstairs.

Can you borrow a hand truck?

I think we will drop our dish after we get a new antenna. Roku is all we need since dish dropped MASN (baseball)
