Gorgeous! One question, where is the cabana boy?

He was off whipping us up some goodies ...

and setting up the massage table

Within the past few months there's been a rash of bugleries and guess what the target appears to be? High end mods. Even 2 b&m's were targeted. No one's seemed to figure out where they are fencing the stuff since several items were unique/customized and recognizable. 1 home invasion was general (grabbed anything not nailed down) but they left the tv and grabbed all the vaping stuff. The least theives could do is be more stupid.

That is too weird ... I know vaping has taken off, but I had no idea it was so popular that thieves would target vape gear!

While half of the country is getting snow and ice, we are having pouring rain and thunder at 36 degrees out. How strange.

Guess I shouldn't mention that it will be a lovely 80° here tomorrow?

Just got a call from the vet. Kitty's blood work came back fine. She is old and fat and evidently healthy. Thank goodness. So we have to take her in tomorrow or the next day for a steroid shot and whatever else decides she needs. I know a diet is going to be on the list. Kitty and mommy need to behave for a bit. Daddy swears he does not slip her any goodies.

Glad to hear that kitty is alright ... though I'm thinking she's not gonna be a happy cat once she finds out about the diet. If you'd like a short list of some really good natural cat foods let me know.

Thanks Mark.
Where others get their fun working on the innards and customizing them I'm more content to work on the outside. Part of the fun for me is solving the problem of getting a paint that'll stick or figuring out how to make Krylon stick. Remember men named Mark not only have internal problems and weaknesses in the head we are also stubborn once we take up a challenge, though those links put it more gently. In pretty sure Kilz will stick. It's made for making latex paint stick to oil base, stain covering and I've yet to find anything it won't stick to. I just have to wait for the weather to warm up some or at least a sunny day. Not gonna have the wife remind me of my internal head weaknesses by painting in the house

Mark,

I know what you mean. My focus goes to totally outside the inside. I'm not much about looks, but I've been trying things like using outdoor halogen bulbs as heating elements, ultrasonic vaporisers with e-liquids, trying to duplicate the wizard-stick's approach, the "double-helix" coil, and other bizzare stuff like that. My first mech mod was an 18650 battery with a switch soldered on to the + side, and an adapter connected to the battery shell with a radiator clamp (peeled the plastic off part of the outside of the battery to make the negative contact). I have wound coils, and made Mundy's Magic Wire (not exactly, I had to screw around with the formula a bit). It's kind of sad; I can wind a great 1.5-ohm coil, but that's boring (useful for the zombie apocalypse, though). For me it's not fun unless it's new. And I vape 99.9% of the time on cheap EVOD clones from FT on my MVP.

OK, maybe that was a bit off the reservation. Checked my meds, only to realize I'm not supposed to be taking any. Done!

I think itaste batteries are anodized aluminum. Try self etching primer.

Actually, I think they're powder-coated. Much thicker than anodized, at least on the MVP.

<edit>

Or maybe it's just the gash in my MVP that's deep. Still, I don't think it's just anodized....

 

[loxmythe]

Yeah I just said to Jazz they might be powder coated. Self etching primer will work on either

Find the thread "Show me your pretty pink ..." yea, it's girlie mods but many find nail polish sticks. Lots of other paint/customizing in the thread too.

My EVODs paint jobs are dried, tape is off.
Here's a couple on my itaste batteries and an Aspire tank on an Innokin 650 fixed voltage battery with the lanyard clip I painted Seahawks green as well.
I'm trying to decide how to go about painting the itaste batteries because the paint isn't sticking to any of my batteries except on chrome areas. I've gotta figure a way to get a primer or something that'll stick to Innokin paint. Can't really see it in the picture but the blue paint is peeling on the 650 battery too. I don't want to sand the paint if I can help it.
The EVODs give my juices a different taste than the iclears. It's like with combo flavors the dominant in one is submissive in the other and vice versa. They're both good with Killer Juice just different. The EVODs seem to use more juice than the iclears also but that might just be my imagination.

Congratulations Karen!!! I'm really happy for you! I haven't been around here long enough to know what happened, but I assume it is why you are in a wheelchair.

Anyway, I'm doing a happy dance for you!

He's getting a really big tip this time!! Just what I needed, a girly drink and a massage. You're awesome Erised!

 

[Karen N Daytona]

hi Kathi! thanks! I have been waiting + years for Social Security disability. I just got off the phone with my lawyers office, they can only see that I won, and that they put in my disability from January 2012. It's been much longer than that, but that was when I actually got a script for the wheelchair, I was using it long before that.

I am unsure of when I will be paid but I owe out so much its almost a wash. the monthly money is the biggest relief along with health care!!

There's no more room for anymore smilies in this post. I am so happy for you I am crying right now. We knew you deserved it, it's nice that they knew it too!! Now, shorten your shopping list or lengthen it as the case may be, lady!

I am doing just a few things, got to get my hair fixed up, new eyeglasses, and 2 new pair of jeans and 5 t shirts. pjs and slippers, done
maybe a new chair in the living room, so far, I haven't found any that I can sit in for long time.

 

[FinallyQuit]

Oh I'm back at work. Today's appt was not a therapy appt, just an intake and fill out paperwork to see if I can get any help with my appt through my employer. Have to go back next week, she will probably know then if I qualify for help or not. Have to take DD1 back tomorrow, We had a little conversation this morning and she told me "it's nice that I can talk to you about things like this, none of my friends have the intelligence to have a philosophical conversation with me." At least she doesn't think I'm stupid! That comes later, I guess. . .

Have a great day all, I'm off for my massage and girly drink. I'll be positively giddy next time!

Hi everyone, in addition to being on the hunt for a new mod since my itazte died I've been lured into entering FB vape contests and the two of those things are taking up almost all of my computer time. I'm also trying to get this house cleaned up, I've let it go far too long, so I'm trying to force me to take on one task every day, making progress.
