The REO Lounge

[Papa_Lazarou]

Well I sure know who to call if we run out of helpers here! So grateful for the recent sunshine. Sure helps to dry stuff out and is easier to help others who flooded when my mud boots don’t get sucked off my feet.

How are my Reonauts?

Currently lounging on the couch after a fine, fine meal. We hiked to the top of the island today - such a beautiful, warm day, at that - and watched eagles fishing. What a change from just 9 days ago when we still had snow . Now it's all daffodils and blossoms. You can practically hear everything budding.

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been mia. I’ve been fulfilling my other hobby of playing/collecting guitars. I got my hands on a beautiful Stratocaster and Jaguar. I’m currently building a custom guitar too. I’ve been obsessively working on it too. Miss everyone hope all is well. I’ll be back with pictures soon hopefully. The Stratocaster I picked up used, aged cherry sunburst my favorite. Got a heck of a deal but it needed some work. Fixed everything up except the frets. I’ve got a master luthier replacing the frets with stainless steel ones. Anyone who plays guitar knows why and how beneficial this is. Anyhow what did I miss?

Dud service from Eric. Apparently hasn't responded to feedback. In the new ideas thread.

The political discussion must be quite interesting, seeing as she is a German, assigned to Canada, recreating in the USA. Quite the rounded perspective, I should think. I can skype in next time

She is quite envious of the US healthcare system -

Hey you lazy Reonauts! Hahaha! Actually, I’ve been a bit lazy in my routine spa treatments of my Reos lately. But today a couple of them got a good bath, alcohol cleaning on the right spots and de-oxit. Dang that feels good! They are my everyday, all day Friends that I just take for granted (and holy money the SL’s sure had some pocket lint. Haha). It also reminds me of what amazing little beasts these mods are. Year after year. They just keep ticking!

As I've said before, a thousand years from now some extraterrestrial research team will poke through the rubble of what was once a proud human civilization and find a perfectly functional REO clutched in the calcified skeletal hand of an ex-REONaut.

Of course, the coil might need dry burning... maybe.

I agree but to me no such thing as ex reonaut. Reonaut forever here!

They will find much stock pile next to my skeleton! They will think I was a king at one time or something! Lol

Or a sacrifice!

@Papa_Lazarou curious if you've played Sekiro yet? I'm not sure if you were planning on it, per se. Just curious. I was extremely hesitant as I'm not a fan of Dark Souls, but I finally bit the bullet and downloaded it yesterday, thinking I'd likely be requesting a refund. But I'm too big a fan of Japanese settings to not give it a shot. I played it for 1.5 hours this morning and fell head-over-heels in love.

I think the thing I didn't like about Dark Souls was the "slow" combat. I get why it's popular, but to me it was too slow/clunky when combined with the frustrating difficulty. However, Sekiro is in many ways the opposite - the combat is fast-paced and exciting, the flow is incredible in my opinion. So I'm very excited for it and will not be asking for a refund. Plus, the scenery is outstanding.

Hi all,
Haven't posted in quite a while.
Love my Reo's but must send out (2 reo grand's) for repair. Does anyone know where I can go to buy a used Reo?
I need a Reo to use while mine are being repaired.
Thank you in advance.

 

[TwistedThrottle]

Welcome back @klm
Not sure how long you been outa da game, but dont use the address on the business card that accompanied your Reos, the company was sold. Eric and Cindy are the new owners and are on par with CS that the porcupine provided. Check out the website for the address. As far as the used Reo, they pop up on the classies occasionally. Good luck!

 

[klm]

Thank you for replying. Yes I know the original owner retired. But thanks for reminding me.
I never went through verification process for the classifieds & now it appears verification is on hold. So don't know where to go to buy a preowned Reo.
Thanks so much for replying!

Welcome back and good to see you! Is it possible to send one of your Reos in for servicing at a time? (The thought of no Reos sent chills down my spine. Hahaha).

 

[klm]

Ha ha . That's my predicament. Neither Reo is working. I also have an old Woodville that's not working.
So I'm at a loss. Ran out to local vape shop & bought a Suorin Air to hold me over. I still use 510 atomizers too! Tried the new style of vaping but hate it.
At this point I would take anything that works with 510 atty's.

 

[TraderX]

I have some extra Reos that I was able to purchase at bargain prices. Truthfully, more than I will likely ever need. I will send you a PM.
