No rain the past few days now...I'm trying to ignore it so maybe it'll stay away...

Dug up and leveled the concrete driveway pipe that was giving me trouble...Added another 4 foot concrete pipe to widen the driveway...Built the retaining wall then backfilled and leveled the whole mess...Yeah it was hot and yeah I'm a little sunburned...Dang glad that's outta the way though...

So I get home and the ac is running...I'd turned the thermostat up before leaving...Finding it hot in the house was NOT GOOD !!! The duct from the fan had blown off under the house....SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the driveway ordeal that can just wait until tomorrow...I'll live.....

Thank you for sharing Rosco's vid, Wharf :)

We don't have a dish washer here either, nor an ice maker in the freezer. I never considered myself spoiled before...I thought having all those things were necessities!

I got vape mail today, and I'm test driving my spiffy new Puri tank. (Thank you John!) First impression is this sucker is huge! My favorite ceramic drip tip won't fit, but that's ok since my 2nd favorite tip fits it. Did I mention that this tank is huge? Got her filled, primed, and puffing on my purple BP, and then I decided I wanted it on my pink Divine Bovine. Swapped it over and no contact with the center post...I can fix that later by raising the atty pin. Oh yeah, and it's huge! I'm not honking on it hard yet, I want to let the wicks get good and saturated, so I turned the voltage down to about 4.3 from my usual 4.6 for my Caramel Coconut Cookie juice. So far the flavor is close to what I'm used to, and I'm surprised at the amount of vapor given the reduced voltage. The vape is cooler, but I hope to raise the voltage a bit as the atty breaks in. I ordered some Fusions and 5 Puri / Evod replacement heads from Iken, and they came in the mail today too, so if I toast the atty that 5card sent I have 5 more to fry LOL! And it's huge!

Also got a letter from AH...he's not huge btw. As I expected, he's fine with a divorce, but he said he would contest it if I didn't "give him custody" of Chase LMAO! He'll make trouble for me if I try to take our dog out of this home and away from him :facepalm: He also said he's looking forward to meeting New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, said maybe they can get together and watch the games :laugh:

Bo there is a smaller one in the works that should be available soon. You're not the only one that wanted them smaller. Myself I like the size but then I'm a guy.:laugh:

I got the motor ready to pull tomorrow. Damn I hate doing this kind of stuff. My free motor job has now cost me about $65.00 to do. I broke a cooling line coupler off the tranny and had to get the broke off end out to install a new one that of coarse only Dodge carried. Finally after 3.5 hrs., one broken easy out, drilling, buying tools I own that someone didn't put back and another easy out I finally got that $#@^&*&$% thing out and the new one put back in. If it hadn't been for that it would probably be done.
On a good note I got the laptop I just finished sold. I decided I'd get some of the money back from one .

Ok Bov, BEFORE you were married, and on YOUR credit card....that dog is 100% YOURS girl! Plus the fact that posession IS 9/10s of the law, Yup Chase belongs to you. Period!

I do like the larger capacity of that tank!! Suhweeeet!

93 today and tomorrow here with oppressive humidity = 908 is pool bound!!! Greater chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms tomorrow, some with high winds and hail. More heat and humidity through Thursday of next week. Can we catch just a bit of a break here? Plthhhhhhhhhhh!~

Whatever you all are doing, stay cool! (ElDee, I hope you are fixing that duct under your house. It's too damn hot out there!)

I have never fought dirty in my life, and I'm not going to start now. This is not my first divorce, and I've never taken anything that didn't belong to me, but I have a few large pieces of "leverage" to use if he tries to back me into a corner. He tossed in a couple of vague references to "friends" he's made...that might come in handy in an attorney and judge's opinions as well :)

Same forecast for us. It's downright miserable outside.

They are nothing but scare tactics. He's got friends alright......in very low places. Oops, did I type that out loud? ;) You have friends too, who'd love nothing more than an hour alone in a room with the POS. Oh 908, you are so bad today!!! Back in the pool with ya!

5, funny you mention that. His cell mate is pulling a 60 year hitch for serial child molestation, both the neighboring cells on each side are in for life without parole on murder charges. If he's got a lick of sense left in his head, he'll worry about minding his own business, rather than trying to create trouble for me.

He's already been thru all that 5. He's at the MacDougall side of MacDougal-Walker Correctional in north central Ct. MacDougall is the max security state pen. Walker building is where they do all the shrink and orientation stuff to decide where the inmate should go for the duration of their sentence. He's not convicted of a sex crime, that charge was dropped. His convictions are 3 years for attempted burglary, and 3 years for assault on a peace officer, so 6 years but the sentences run concurrently. Parole can happen after serving 1/3 of your sentence if you have a good report, so 2 years for Kevin if he stays out of trouble. If he gets good time credit added to time already served waiting conviction, he could get out earlier.

MacDougall keeps everyone in their cells 22 hours a day unless they have work detail, or educational/vocational training classes. TBH, unless there are things I don't know about, I think it's over kill to put him in a max prison. I'm not getting soft or saying he doesn't deserve to be in prison, but it's not like he tried to put a beat down on the police officer or tried to take his gun. I realize why spitting on an officer is considered assault, but max security for an otherwise non violent offender? And society wonders why the recidivism rate is so high. He won't get any counseling help there, he'll just come out angrier and meaner. Sad on so many levels.

If it's like WA. after he's been there awhile he'll go to medium security. I imagine the prosecutor made him look like a serial killer or worse. If he minds his Ps and Qs he will probably get transferred after awhile. But every state is different. Well except here. This state doesn't do nothing on it's own. We have Californias old penal system.

I'm sorry to hear about WA using our penal system. Our system is messed up.

It's your old system and it's messed up too.:laugh:LOL WA. hasn't got the smarts to do anything on it's own. On other stuff everyone does whatever Seattle does. When Tacoma banned ecigs wherever smoking is banned it was because Seattle did it. Seattle's reason was our officers can't tell if your smoking or using an ecig so it will waste too much time. I told the Seattle Mayor they needed to hire competent officers instead of banning ecigs. Ha the only time they would waste is the time needed for another donut and coffee.
