My first day on the job in orientation this was addressed. Pants must be worn at the natural waist level. In other words "no swag on the job site!" hahehahahaha. Funny thing is that's how half of the hammer swinging goons do it, there like F tho Police, and F the swag ban!
It's certainly another world from the bicycle retail shop:) I've had several smokers tell me matter of factly "those e-cigs will kill! you, and they don't work" I just shake my head and think "what doesn't work?" One lady told me that, and I dared to venture, "Why don't they work?" She responded "Cause the don't." I asked if she would try it, she said "No, never! I'll just quit before I kill myself with that thing!"
I'm so happy we here have recovered from smoking cigarettes

Did these people own their original teeth or share them like harpies?

Nobody got arrested (except in VA) for wearing their pants too low, and so is learning 1/100th of an inch an attempt to break the law on pants height?

I can think of a few uses for your pole as a rodman and one is to knock the stupidity out of some of their heads!
"those e-cigs will kill you" - "my uncle once had a guy smash him in the face with a silver bullet"

"was he a werewolf?"

Amen!

You know you can't win an argument with a fool! They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Today is the first day I've received a paycheck in something like 15 years:)
I've been working for myself for 8 of those and all the others have been for less than on the up and up companies...
Week #2 of my new life as a Rodman (construction survey field)
I've been having a good time absorbing tons of new info, I went down in a 60 foot sump (hole in the ground) and took center line shots on a concrete slab being poured to support a demineralization tank. I've been doing well with a new industry language.
I had to memorize inches to tenths of feet on my second day on the job. I'm happy I've been able to keep up with my crews demands so far:) 1" .08, 2" .17, 3" .25, 4" .33, 5" .42, 6" .50, 7" .58, 8" .67, 9" .75, 10" .83, 11" .92, 12" 1.0
Sorry it helps me to practice and chance I get:)
Next is to do hundredths of a foot, :) example: .480=5-3/4":)
I have two new tape measures I've never seen or read. Engineers tapes have tenths and hundredths and thousandths of a foot markings:) Lots of learning here in the bayou. I had a pound of boiled shrimp last night, awesome. Boiled crawfish earlier for dinner:)

My loving friend Dennis here has done something sooo wonderful it's hard to even express how grateful I am.
As hard as it has been to leave my family and take this leap into a new career and location for the next 1-1 1/2, I always know I've got a great community of support and laughter and love here in Reoville. Thank you all for well wishes, not just to me, but they way it goes around to everyone. I really enjoy reading how everyone here is doing in the lounge........
All I can really say is thank you:)
ohhh and pics soon;)

p.s. As some of you here may know through "in the wild sightings" or Kay's thread "The Real Us" This reonaut has a beard North of the equator:D

:wub: Its so good to read you are doing well and finding your way, Buddy.

cheeky, cheeky!
You don't want to encourage insinuations with the women that work on this construction site!
Your tubemod might not be able to handle the amperage!:lol:

i've tried to reply (and then deleted) to this 4 times with different repostes, none of which has risen to even my lowly self-censorship levels...

On behalf of my generation, I'd like to apologize. I wear my pants properly and thusly, I have no swag. This probably explains why I have successfully reproduced and am married at age 24.

Sent from my mind using telepathy

REALLY? You mean you have children AND you are married? You have my respect and admiration.

I am only partially kidding as I am sure you already know from reading your post. I loved it.

Isn't it sad when people have to congratulate someone for having a child inside of a marriage? On top of that, I'm lucky that I (barely) make enough that my wife can stay at home and raise our kiddo.

Good for you. A stay at home mom. I chose not to have kids and have worked all of my life but if I were a mom I would love to be able to stay home. I know it takes planning and sacrifice in this day to live on one income.

Thanks for the help superT! Was able to build a super nice 1.8ohm coil that vapes like a choo choo train!

Draw is a bit airy but I found one of these old drip tips that allows you to regulate the draw. Awesome awesome awesome!

You ROCK! Isn't it fun to get it working? I don't have my Reo yet and it won't be until after the first of May.

I am practicing since I am brand new to this whole dripping/coiling/wicking thing. I have been using an IgoW for the past week. Now I have successfully coiled, wicked and am vaping on a Kayfun 3.1 clone. With the coil jig I have it is fairly easy to get the coil. I think I am ready for the RM2! Since I am getting the LP with the sub ohm upgrades, the sky's the limit, right? I have some 30 amp batteries as long as they are not too big for the Reo, I am in business. If not, I am just fine with 1.4 ohm for the rest of my life.
