I was contemplating getting someone an egot today. It's what I started with. Either that or let them use my old 14500 mini.it was what got me going in the first place after all.

Ego t mod is not an ego lol it's a simple tube mod that takes 18650s I would only recommend it to someone who likes the straight ego vape and needs long battery. Life
I didn't realize there was an egot mod I haven't done much research since I got my Reo
and it's my Reo hence why I'm uncertain about lending it 
If your going ego go for an ego twist if your loaning your reo get a repair kit first and spare parts, magnet tubes and such. I imagine you already have those though
Ya Im all set for a few rebuilds
I haven't used that Reo in months so its not like it would be a huge loss but I like for it to be here for just in case
Thanks I just noticed that in a picture. I am even more excited about ordering a rm2 now

Good Sunday Morning REOVille 
Sounds like a lot of REOSympathy for broken mods last night. I have let others use my mini, but I first warn them "you do not have mash the button, just gently press about halfway down and it should fire." Thankfully it has not been broken.
Seems like the 'Woodvil Time" thread slowed a little last night. As soon as the JediSquonkMaster posts a few more pictures, everyone (ok, namely me) will be drooling on their keyboards again.
Anyways, wishing all you REOnauts Have a Safe and Blessed Day

Good Day Fine REO Folk. Gil, I feel your anguish over the MAJOR downsize. We're moving from 3 acres, mostly heavily wooded, surrounded by State Park/Lake, City and County protected habitats, and Audubon Protected Habitat and Teaching Center. 36K sq ft house, huge deck hanging over woods, big spa and pool, and way up there vaulted ceilings. And at the dead end of a dead end road that comes off of a short road that dead ends at the State Park. We've been here 27 years. House needs major work, though. And we'll take a loss especially as our property taxes have been delayed for years. (It's a Texas thing, maybe other states, where you can delay property taxes till place is sold once you reach a certain age.) But I'm totally exhausted and constantly overwhelmed just keeping it barely livable. (I've spent many thousands of dollars this year just on plumbing, AC, yard and trees, and spa.) The house payment, utilities, insurance, alone come to almost the total of DH's Social Security and small royalties from gas leases. There's almost constant expenditures for things that go wrong and I have to pay a crew to mow. I can't get on ladders anymore and can't do all the repairs, inside and out, like gutters, roof, fences, etc. DH doesn't even know how to turn on any of the various vacuum cleaners, let alone the robots and floor washers, he has never participated in pool and spa upkeep, or yard, or anything else for that matter, and I've been begging him since we first got married to participate, at the very least, in helping me think about house/property matters and issues. He just lives here and pays the bills. I'm the manager, cleaner, handy"man", tree crew, etc. I just can't do it any more let alone pay anyone to do things any more. So our move is one of necessity on many levels. That or move under a bridge or down by the river in a van.
Of course DH has been very resistant about moving for over a year. He seriously has always said, since he hit his 70's that he'd rather go out in the back yard and put a bullet in his head, than move. He absolutely won't move to our friends farm land where I can put up a really fancy Pacific Yurt, and water and electricity are already there. He refuses to even consider moving to the Yucatan Jungle, where our friend lives where we would pay practically nothing to live there.
On a positive note!!!!! DH saw the empty apartment, for the first time, yesterday, and his response was very positive. He said, "This is much larger than I remember the model. I think I'm going to like this." Glory Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way he's participating in any part of the move is to pick out the books he wants to keep. I'm doing all the other work including grunt work. And he signed some papers and the lease. He did feed the dogs last night and he refills their inside water bucket. And (Val) he doesn't mind doing the Costco runs but I'm sure he doesn't "love" it like your DH.
BTW.... there's nothing like taking a good dump in the woods.
I can drop trousers just about anywhere out here. DH frequently "waters the woods" off the deck. We've never worn any clothing in the pool or hot tub. I used to do the yard work in bikini bottom only. It is going to be quite a change at new place.
Love and Hugs. Find and give some happy.

Jen, Della Cirque, has magically transformed a shell of a small barn into a place anyone would "die for". When I visited, before so many of the improvements she's made in past year and a half, I could see what she had started with. Amazing place even then. And her "dirty" is my "can eat off the floors"!!!!!! And it's really secluded and really "out there" compared to my current place. She has enough flat, mowed area for all the animals to thrive but the huge forest is just a stones throw. Logging is done out there so it's major forest.
Yesterday I carried over to new place some kitchen stuff, blow up bed, pillows, linens and towels, cleaning products, some electronics, a fold up table and chair and stool, and one Roomba. Roomba was quite happy having all open spaces and no dust or massive amounts of doggie hair. I ran it two runs and the aerobin was hardly filled and hardly any dust on filter. Of course it's going to be different when three dogs are there with us and them tracking dust but I think a couple of Roombas will be enough instead of the nine I have to run daily here (and empty bins and blow out filters between runs. No carpets!!!!!! I hate carpets!!!!!! I'll be putting down a couple of sheep skin rugs in bedroom and a doggie gate across the door. It's the only place doggies won't be allowed and I'm making a no shoes rule in there. Both of the bathrooms access are not through that room so not much foot traffic in there. (It's actually the study but DH gets the much bigger bedroom for his man cave. Big bathroom off of that room.)
Garage is pretty large. Big freezer and almost new fridge will fit easily along with about 30 ft of shelving, my two big tool chests, and a work bench, and one car.
I'm so excited about all this I've been getting only three max hours of sleep a night and up before dawn. Last night, after a full day of work and loading and moving stuff, and an hour long walk around the greenbelt, I did get to sleep easily around 0300 but woke up at 0530 anxious to get moving today.
I took a long soak in the new place tub, late last night before coming home. Definite improvement over our tub here. Only complaint I have so far is the dishwasher is not insulated well enough and is loud because of. I am going to miss the one I have here. They may let me bring mine. Curbside garbage pickup is three times a week at 0900. And the big bins are walking distance from my front door, well concealed by high fence. That is going to be a luxury I haven't experienced in 27 years as I have to drive stuff up to the road here.

I see you can relate. I'll get use to it. Its a shame half of our nice furniture will have to be kept in storage lockers. One other thing is my 300lbs $5K Bariatric hospital bed http://www.angelfire.com/folk/memorial/accident_002.JPG which insurance paid for is mine to deal with now. I have tried donating it to hospitals, senior citizen homes and Rehab facilities and no one wants to pick it up.
Oh well, things will work out eventually.
The greenbelt is several acres with a small creek running through it and lots of woods. I'm going to start campaign to get them to put in a fenced, off lead, doggie area. Have to go slowly on that and not be pushy. Hoping I can get enough interest from other residents to maybe take donations so we'll be paying for the fencing. That may be the only way it can come about.
The walking paths, in greenbelt, are not concrete rather tiny pea gravel. So no tricycle "road work" of the dogs there.
Place is very well lit at night and very quiet. Virtually no traffic after dark.
As I was leaving greenbelt, on far end from my place, I stopped and chatted with a woman out on her porch facing the greenbelt. I met my twin and soul mate!!!!
She's spent most of her life in San Francisco, went to Berkeley in the 60's, and knew Angela Davis pretty well. She's pretty lonely and bored here and knows no one and has offered to help me, even moving stuff in her van. She's fit and healthy. Once I walked around to the front of her building I realized she is right across the street from my friend Teddie. She loves my three favorite restaurants and is thrilled to have a happy hour buddy. Problem is I can't afford that now but I think she's loaded so she can treat me maybe. She was having one of only a few a day cigarettes and sipping her daily evening Bloody Mary. She had a strange "bonnet" on her head and I did ask what it was. It was women's undies to cover her hair to keep the smoke smell out of her hair. She's interested in learning more about vaping. She only smokes a few stinkies a day but hates the stink in her hair.
Her sister is here from Louisiana for breast cancer surgery this coming Wednesday. Sister will remain here for radiation and then go back. Sister has four dogs and two horses and lives on many acres. Sister keeps telling her she needs a dog so a slight chance of placing one of mine with her. We'll see. I need to learn more about how "fit" she would be as a big doggie parent.
Kaypers mentioned ignoring her door bell sometimes because she needs some alone time. I'm going to have to learn to budget my friend time so I'll have enough time to take care of dogs; about 4 hours a day for them; my new "job". This is all so new as I've been a hermit for 27 years.

Salvation Army will probably take it and you, of course, can take a tax deduction. I have 10 huge, wide, deep file cabinets, virtually new, I picked up at an auction, in one of my lockers. If I can't sell them by close to end of month I'm donating to Salvation army. Also two really nice new, tall media cabinets there; real wood. I really need the money but I'll donate them if I can't sell them. Our new place Leasing Manager is interested in the four drawer fire proof, used file cabinet/safe I have in locker. Thing weighs about 500 lbs. I think I paid $500 for it at auction but will let it go really cheap just to get it out of there. But, on second thought, I'll have room for it in new place garage so I'd probably be better off keeping it.
I'm keeping only about 1/3 of antiques. DD is coming to pick out what she wants and will pay for storage and then I'll sell the rest. New place we'll be able to display art better but she gets her pick of most. Some I won't part with but she'll eventually get them as she is only heir. Gonna take a hit on the antiques I purchased way back, as prices on them were very high back then. Some I had refinished at very high price especially the one book case that I had custom antiquing paint done on. This was before many people were doing that type of finish. I think I paid about $500 for the finish in the 1970's. I'll be lucky to get a couple hundred for it.
Estate sale, out here, is iffy. Only about 5 cars can fit back here at a time to allow for turning around. So it will have to be done scheduled appointments instead of "open". I may do a couple of "geek" sale days for the 20-30 pen tablets, bunches of internet appliances, computers, and monitors, and various other computer related things. The master bedroom was my computer workshop for years and it is stuffed to the ceiling with mostly computer stuff. I have about 15 partially stripped towers, most working but way old and slow. What doesn't get sold will go to Goodwill. Two fully working all in one IBM Netvistas. They are really cool with decent 15" flat screens and they run MS Vista well; last OS I had on them before totally retiring them. But we know I'll probably get $50 max for each even with the Windows product keys.
Two not antique but very nice roll top desks, one massive, and wood file cabinets and barrister, glass door book cases. DH pouted a little about not taking his big one, but he's the one who's insisting on minimalists and no hoarding at all. I am so totally for minimalist, especially in apartment but letting go of tools and yard and garden equipment is going to be hard for me. I have a barely used compressor driven nail gun I'll never use again. That's going to be a tough "let go". I love the funky squashed red tank. I just love looking at it.

Heading out in a bit to storage lockers to see if I can fit the industrial wood shelving in my PT; going in garage. New friend offered to help me with them. I may take her up on it. Taking a few more kitchen things. I need to have everything I need to prepare the dish I'm taking to T-day Potluck this Wednesday. Supposed to make enough for 30-50 people but organizer, The Life Enrichment Director said, "bring what you can manage". I can cook up that much but getting it to Clubhouse is major issue along with keeping it warm. It's stuffed eggplant and makes a really intresting presentation in the eggplant shell but they don't travel well. I think I'm doing two large ones in Pyrex dishes that have insulated carry cases and a few stuffed in shell. If Teddie has any of those carry, insulated cases left over I'll make more. Teddie does a lot of potlucks so she may have a bunch. I do know she has five huge Crockpots in addition to smaller ones. Hummmmmmm they may be good to use. Gonna think on that one. She's taking candied yams. I'm sure they will be loaded with sugar and mounds of marshmallow topping. When I went over to her place, yesterday, waiting for DH to get there to sign the final lease, she plied me with Omara's Irish Cream, Greek Olives and Italian Feta cheese, and kept offering all kinds of neat sweets and flat breads. While I was there she fed her DH two flatbread rolls filled with caviar spread. I declined as I get sleepy when I eat. She used to be morbidly obese but has lost over 100 lbs and keeping it off. I don't know how she keeps it off the way they eat. I'm suspecting she may have had band surgery and just isn't telling anyone.
Later I'll come back home a pick up a few more things and take Lily Heeler over for first time. Starting with smallest dog. I haven't seen any out there much over 12" tall. Lily is not small for a Heeler. She weighs 54 lbs, at Vet. Vet said she is not fat but don't let her put on any more weight.
Then this afternoon breaking open pool filter for good clean out. It's getting cooler starting tonight but today may break the all time record for this day of 87F. It was 74F, at midnight, last night when I came home.
Be well Friends. Find and give some happy.
