The REO Lounge - Part II

[RedhatPat]

I'm caught up now. Still getting familiar wi names, took me a couple pages to figure out who was Darrel lol. Now I'm reading that slander articles linked earlier. No comment except that I dont agree with the OP.

Probably not related but what are your thoughhts on the billet box? I saw a few people in the classys willing to trade practically everything they owned for one of those so I looked it up and it does look "cool" for sure. But pictures are just pictures. What I have in my hand right now is real, real nice, I just wish it was a woody instead of metal

My new copper vien mini 2.1 has been shipped ! or at least that's what the email said. At 3am. Either there's an automated something or other involved or Rob's working way to hard. Only Truckers are supposed to know that kind of sleep depravity!

It was probably sent by one of the hard working Minion Porkies as Lisa stated earlier Rob does nothing more than sit at a desk smoking stogies and counting cash

Sooo the a7... anyone have an encounter with this...I'm just super curious I don't want to have to buy more batts and a kick and spend the money on a vv as well down the road.... I mean that's my plan but I am used to my provari now at 4.8 on a 2 ohm carto... I need omething that will satisfy my vaping needs and I know that someone said they would prefer a rba at .08-1.1 instead of kicking it.... pwease helo a guy out

 

[davelog]

I like the A7 a lot, I have one on my Grand and now a mini A7 on my 2.0, plus reserves of both sizes. The only real concern with them is the wobbly center pin in the connection, which isn't an issue with all of them... it's a case-by-case problem.

For the price, you can't beat 'em. Bottom fed with a connection-based airflow, so you can blind squonk with them, and easy to rebuild. I say go for it.

 

[VappyMac]

Awsome thanks dave. I seen that th era was popular as well but idk I just need something that is easy and will fit without modding... what's the size like do you have a picture of your grand wit it....

 

[VappyMac]

I guess my real concern is height. .. I want something shorter.... what'she list on good rbas that work well with a grand

Way, way back I had field bred (less fancy coat for harsh working conditions for you non-doggie peeps) English Setter, Irish Setters, English Pointer, and Airedale, who wasn't shown so we clipped instead of stripped. First dog DH and I had was a Chiqapoo with wiry coat but he only weighed 9 lbs; virtually no grooming. He raised our first two English Mastiffs and ruled the house but was raised by cats so had lots of bummer moments not being able to leap up on kitchen counters and top of fridge. Only had English Mastiffs and Rotties until Cissy Briard in 1987. Boy, what a challenge after having short coats for so long. (We did have an occasional EM with pretty excessive undercoat that was a mess twice a year as far as house hair.) Cissy Briard had so much undercoat I swore that, if I ever got another Briard, I would choose one whose coat was not up to standard, by severly lacking in undercoat. I got to see a few pet Briards people brought to shows, that had too little undercoat. I so envied them. Our two Doodles are F1 and their mom was a field bred working trial Lab so good working coat. Because they were only half Standard Poodle, and not F2, F3, etc, with Spoo bred back in, they have very manageable coats. I couldn't have an F3 out here with our wild environment..... just not going to do the grooming necessary!!!!!!

Growing up next door neighbor had a Beagle. Loved that dog. When DH and I were downsizing, numbers and sizes, a few years ago, from always having 6-10 EMs and a sprinkle of Rotties, for 30+ years, all country house dogs, Beagles were up on top of our list as candidates. Have to have tough and hardy out here. Our Cattle Dog girls got much larger than we wanted. You read that average for conditioned ACD female is 30-40 lbs. Down here I've yet to see many that small especially ranch bred working ACDs. Our girls weigh 60lbs. One guy, ACD, Sam, the neighborhood celebrity, seen out jogging several times a week with his Dad weighs 75 lbs!!!!! Maybe small compared to our big guys but certainly not comfortable lap dogs, although they try to be. Even Jake Mastiff thinks he's a lap dog.

You mean your ACD wanted to be petted?

Our male ACD weighed about 50lb, and never had any desire for social contact. In fact he put me in the back of a truck with the cows more than once!

Oh, and his name was "Jack"

Love Newfies. My "Sage," English Mastiff did water rescue. Local Newfie club gave us an invite to join; an English Mastiff. Mastiff butts typically sink so they have to struggle harder to swim than many breeds. For some reason Sage's .... had some buoyancy.

Sorry about the bad luck. Can relate to your heartbreak.

Feisty Alice

They are nothing but big lovable loyal friends. We got big Ben his own Tempur-Pedic mattress. Lately I do get a little ...... off he got it good and Im still sleeping in the stupied hospital bed.

Another question for my Reo experts. I just received include with a trade I did two batteries. The guy said they are the 16850's. But there is now writing what so ever on them. They are red like my AW Imr's but do not have the button top. They are kinda flat on top and have like little prongs (V shaped) pricky things on the bottom and top. Some are bent down. I used the doohickey thingy from Sterno (Thanks sterno sure putting it to use) and they read out at 4.1 and 4.3. Are these safe to use? Don't want to hurt my Reo Grand!

Hey everyone! Just popped in to say hello, hope you all have a great weekend!

Really shouldn't be not working but had to reply. My best snuggler is Lily Heeler. And she adores all humans she meets. As she is Alpha Female and tries to own all humans she's the one who gives fist kisses to anyone who comes in, who is welcomed by us, and wants the attention. Rosie snuggles and likes people but usually hangs back a foot or so when humans come in because of Lily's dominating the situation. Both Heeler girls love petting and touching but hate getting brushed. Moe Doodle Alpha and Alpha Male doesn't participate in greeting strangers or much even people he knows except for DH and me. He hangs back from the greeting frenzy and guards to make sure we are safe. He isn't interested in any humans other than DH and me but is civil and will accept petting or grooming.

We den in the living room with the dogs. They have 24/7 access to fenced front yard via GIANT doggie door. I sleep in recliner seat of sofa so they all started out snuggling with me as babies. Don't know if that made a difference or not. When out in public, and only dog I have out, Rosie is pretty aloof to strangers and doesn't show much interest in them. Lily is pretty aloof to strangers, too, away from home but she quicky becomes everyones favorite, at home, until Lily lets Sweetest Dog on earth, Curly Doodle steal their hearts. Takes Jake Mastiff a few hours to warm up to company.

They all are used to me being here virtually 24/7 and in my company almost constantly.

Heeler girls certainly have strong wills and minds of their own. They turned 3 in Jan and I'm still working on those two not bursting out the deck door when I open it. Other three sit and wait for okay and then file out singly.

How do people come home to an empty house????????

Lily Heeler as soon as DH arrived home with her. I went and picked up her littermate, Rosie, next day. They were 8 weeks old.
