LOVE it RED!!!!!

LOL! And you'd THINK if they'd known a redhead would be using these, they'd have done a better job of it. Oh, and I forgot to mention, even the 20-something guy in the video had to edit himself to allow futzing the spitback cover back on. He said it took too long to finesse it on there, so he didn't want to bore his viewers with watching him fumble around with it. I think they should improve the threading on those. I'ma go TELL 'EM.

I'm shocked Lannie, the L shape seemed so easy, just pull it with some grips to the right and then use some tweezers to push it into the slot, then the screws goes straight in. The coil, when you take the tool out lines up just fine for me, I do pull the wire down before I tighten it with the mandrel in, then do the same for the other side. Then pull the mandrel upwards, this keeps the coil in place everytime. The spit back cap I use some small pipers to start it off. It's one of the easiest rba's to work on for its size. I will have to do a video of how easy It can be with just a few simple things.
Thank you for sharing your heart felt story about your animals x

Tweezers. :facepalm: Check. Pull UP on the mandrel afterward. :facepalm: Check. I'll remember those for the next one. I did pull down on the legs before I did the screws, and even after I got the wire in the L-slot, it just kept springing back OUT. I finally wrapped the .... around the base, and THEN it stayed, so I guess that's what I need to do.

What's "pipers?" Did you mean pliers? I was thinking maybe to put on a nitrile glove or something so I'd have a little better grip. The dang thing kept slipping in my fingers. :blink:

Lannie, I'm sorry about your horse. :( My horse Firecracker, was born on the 4th of July 1972. I was 9. He died in 2004 at the very very old age of 32. My sister's blind horse Snow, was 35 and died a few months after. My horse looked after of hers. Snow was heartbroken I'm sure. :( They were together for many many years. Felt like a piece of me died when they went. It's very difficult to lose a pet. They REALLY are a member of the family. Whether you've had them for a week, or 100 years, it's rough.

My old girl, Aeisha, was 29 when she died. In six more months she would have been 30. I was kind of looking forward to celebrating her milestone with her, but it was not to be. She died comfortable, though. A twisted stomach is painful, but the vet said it was going to cost around $5,000 for surgery, and at her age, she'd only have a 25% chance of surviving the surgery, and probably a 100% chance of it happening again before too long, so we brought her home, shot her full of Banamine to reduce the pain, and she actually came to the barn that evening during choretime and said goodbye to me. She stood in front of me and pressed the length of her forehead up against my chest while I hugged her face and cried and petted her. Then she brought her head up and walked back out to the pasture in the dark. The next morning, she was lying peacefully on the ground, as if she were just asleep. So I felt OK about it. We got to say our goodbyes and she died on her terms, at home (not at the vet's office), and hopefully, not in too much pain. Anyway, it didn't look like she'd kicked around at all, just laid down and went to sleep.

Which has NOTHING AT ALL to do with vaping, sorry, but I couldn't help it. I loved her a LOT.

I got stuff coming from BCV, FT, Orbtronics, and someone else I forget.
Makes me good for a decade or so on everything except some flavoring, PG/VG and batteries in a couple of years. Good for about 2 years on those things.

On second thought I retire in 3 weeks so....
What??? You do???? OMG that's fantastic! I wanted to retire in 3 years, but I dunno now. My "house" is kind of falling apart so I'll need to save more. :-x
It's ok though. I love my job. :thumb: And, it pays for the VAPE MAIL. WOOOOhooo!!

Don't do it, Robert! To retire means you'll be re-tired (tired again). I have never done so much hard physical labor in my life as I have since I retired. :nah: ;) :(

Some sad news, Nosey the rat died half an hour ago.
It was a very strange and sad moment, he came up to the cage (I was sitting on the sofa next to it) I opened the cage door and he ran along my arm onto my lap and died. It's like he knew and wanted to be with me and although it was very sad, I'm glad I was there for him.
He fought for weeks but now at least his suffering has ended, thank you to everyone who sent their wishes. What a Character he was..

Oh man I'm so sorry Rixsta. I was really hoping that he would have pulled through. It's amazing how animals are. It's a sign that he Loved you very much that he wanted to be with you when he passed. He'll be waiting for you all healed and ready to share your bond together once again! Sorry Buddy! RIP Nosey. :nun::angel:

Because I can!
