We used to make those acetylene/Oxygen bombs with balloons LD around the 4th. Make them too big and they take out all the windows in the area. Luckily we didn't have any houses around. I had one go off premature and it almost broke my eardrums. It's been a long time.

I just realized I've been vaping the same ADV for a full 27 months, zero desire to change. Life sure gets simple with good VV gear, good cartos/atties, and an eliquid that you enjoy
Yes it does Mark!!! I was going along just wonderfully and all of a sudden I got an urge to try a new liquid....then another urge to try a new tank.....then, well, you know the rest! Still have plenty of my favorites on hand (ADV and cartos to punch) so once I satisfy this latest bout of "let's try" it'll be smooth sailing for me again for a bit.
I still enjoy DIY, will come up with a new mix sometimes for others, but for me it's a simple 60ml every 10 days. Couple minutes total, including cleanup. I could mix 120 at a time, but I've grown used to the 60ml bottle size, convenient, good enough control to use it when initially filling a new carto in the M1A1.
Five an acetylene bottle is honeycombed inside...That's to prevent friction from the acetylene molecules rubbing together.....Friction = BOOM!!!!. I've heard acetylene in a balloon will go off in a short period of time.. At a dealership where I once worked there were many balloons set off and it was required to blow up your coffee cups...One morning the whole shop was called into the owner's office...He was livid and said the next boom = ALL ARE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!! Just then....BOOM!!!!!!!!! He fired every dang one of us....He recanted within the hour...These explosions I've been hearing I don't believe are acetylene...There off in the distance and very loud...My bet is fuel and fertilizer...
I always order my standard flavors and whatever sounds good to me...Punch and Mt. Dew sound good...I'll sure drink either...They may vape like crap...Everything I've ever mixed has been vaped except for the Atomic Cinnicide...When I first quit the stinkies Cinnicide was a go to juice...along with Big Red...All my tried and true mixes I'll throw together in 120ml...New stuff I'll throw together in 60 ml...I don't go lower than that...A tenth or two off at 2 ml will change a flavor...less change if it's a tenth or two off at 8MLs...The waffle I'm currently enjoying is very Pro Tank friendly...
Got two pork tenderlions laid out along with some smoked sausages...I'm gonna cook for the family tonight even though I will be down on the coast....I started my annual diet on 4/1...shoulda' started on 1/1!! 227 then 207 now....and I'm 6"3' so not to bad I guess...Still I'm not exactly in the days of my youth anymore...Life is much easier at less than 200lbs...Every pound is = to 4 extra pounds on your knees,,,that's what I heard anyways...Diet then binge...the story of my life...

I've been doing some exercises for my back and tummy to see if strengthening them will help my lower back issues. So far so good. Sore muscles a little bit but that's progress. Also doesn't hurt to get this old dog in better shape now that she's able to hunt
Dee, I'm curious if you have any supremacy chapters in your area. Maybe those booms are related. The ones up here definitely prefer to set up out in the boonies.

They sure are thank God. but the balloons aren't. I got an old tank of propane that I'm trying to figure out what to do with. It's a 10 gal. tank thats been here for around 15 yrs. The hose is deteriorated and the fitting looks to be home made (the late BIL). I don't want to just release it into the atmosphere. We have enough junk floating around now. I think I'm going to take it to the place I get my acetylene and let them deal with it.

We used do those in our backyard...in garbage bags. It shook the ground but windows survived.
I left a big boom in the vitamin section of WalMart the other day.
It got a little bit of attention.
But I'm old, so I just pretended I never heard anything and kept on wobbling along.
Then I did it again.
That was when I figured it was a good time to get out of there.

What's that smell??????????
Made it down too the coast...Everything looks the same as it did last fall..The grass had grown into a jungle...It's trimmed up purdy now!!!!!
I'd rinsed the Pro Tank coil a few times and all was good...Decided on the disassembly/wash/dry burn tonight as it was taking longer to get lesser puffs...My advise...don't even bother...That thing looked like it had pine sap in it...the flavor wicks were.....uhh....not so good...washing and then dry burning???? one coil was lit...then it popped...Those coils were 5 for $5.95...I may continue the rinse but past that = TOSS!!!!
I pulled my small trailer today...When I drive....well....I don't often get passed...even in a ratty little 4X4 Ranger pulling a trailer...Twice today I had someone that wanted to ride directly in my blind spot...I stick to the right lane when possible....tis easier to hide in the right lane...Now I'm booking azz and coming up on slower traffic...Dang near took a VW Bug out when I slid to the left lane...He had caught me but didn't have the nuttz to pass...Then later I had a Volvo wanting to ride the same blind spot...The blind spot ain't that large!!! In the words of #3...Lead or follow but stay out of the damn way!!!!!!!!!!!

I was turning left onto the highway from a cross street and had a pedestrian right where my front pillar is. I didn't see him at all. He was jumping out of the way by the time I saw him. I was apologizing big time.
Five my Dodge has the pillar issue as well...
The blind spot I mentioned is the area not seen by the windshield mirror nor the door mirror...On the Ranger their door was about even with m tail light...The VW I didn't see creeping up on me...the Volvo I did see...Still neither one was willing to lead the charge...
While I'm .....ing...Down South we have many new drivers from even further down South....namely Mexico...Now the Mexicans as a whole are all good with me...but....and this tends to be women...They drive 5 ft off your azz and will not pass...Slow down they won't pass...speed up to warp and still 5 feet behind you...This really pizzez me off should I be on my motorcycle....
Getting ready to spray round up....The story of my life....

Both ProTanks came in today. I'm still quite happy with my M1A1 at the moment and will use it until the punched Boge bites the dust. (many times in between too)
On another thread here Bov pointed me in the direction of JWraps for my severely less-purple BP. I now have 2 wraps on their way to me!!! That's what happens when 908 can't make up her mind...she orders 2!!! Hey, I can dress up my black BP while I am at it too! (I didn't want it to feel left out.) So now I am stoked to see what they'll look like all dressed up! I will no doubt wrap the purple one, but may wait and see on the black one. I do like the simplicity of the tuxedo look.
My RTS order arrived as well. I now have some raspberry, ripe banana, strawberry, tutti fruity, watermelon and strawberries & cream to play with! Yup, I'm on a fruit kick as of late....or always I suppose if you consider the fact that my ADV was banana cream for over a year and a half straight. If anyone can suggest something good with what I now have in my arsenal of flavors, I'd love it!

Glad you found some wraps there Tracy! I got my ECX order today and the NF Custard smells awesome...like a rich egg custard. I'm not much on fruit flavors so I can't really give any advice there, but I bet Salem, Fran and Sdh can
Today's tasks were pruning some lower limbs out of the front yard maple tree, and mowing. MIL actually did most of the mowing, and I'm starting to realize that she takes the mower away from me because she wants to be able to continue doing these things, not because she doesn't like the way I'm doing it. It was like a light bulb moment for me today, and I saw her in a whole new light! Or maybe I'm starting to see the world in a whole new light. I'm liking what I'm seeing
