Oh well if it is trying to boot but doesn't that can be fixed. It isn't an HP is it. I've worked on a bunch of those that get into that boot cycle. Have you tried a hard reset? Pull the battery and unplug the adapter. Then push and hold the power button for about 5 seconds. Then re-install the power and see if it starts. I know it sounds feeble but it has worked many times.

It's storming outside!!

I just performed a hard reboot with my Garmin GPS...It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Haze is performing a lot better than my cartos....I'm at 8% Grape juice...2% hypno and 2% Earl Grey...Next I'll try EG @1% and Hypno @3...Though I have suspicions it will be great as is in the Pro tank..The PT is all waffled up and gonna stay that way until no waffle remains or it blows...

Koolada is TFA...Adds a coolness to the vape and supposedly makes fruit flavors pop...Anyone tried Koolada????????

Monday will hopefully see the arrival of the belts for my old Cub lawn tractor...A full service is in order...The Cub is 27 years old...Just goes to show there was once a day when quality actually mattered...I take pretty dang good care of it too...Nobody is allowed to drive the Cub!!!!!!!!!! Really now a couple of kids have gotten their first driving experience on the old Cub...under the watchful eye of The Evel One!! When that service is complete it's back too the BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not an HP, it's a Compaq...even worse IMO lol. I'll try a hard reset and see what happens. Since I have the old Gateway that my ex sent me, I'm not going to the expense of hunting down and replacing the mobo in that thing.

I haven't tried the Koolada, Dee but I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying just a few drops of the Creme De Mint to 20ml of my Coconut Cream mix. Just got done making another batch. I would have made more than 20ml, but gotta wait till payday to go to the feed store and get more PG :facepalm:

ETA: Doofus me, HP makes Compaq :oops: Hard reset didn't work.

Hello everyone!!! Just a quick drive by tonight as it's getting late now, but had to check in with my favorite peeps and see what's new in the Notcigs house.

ElDee, I'm super psyched that you are liking the Purple Haze!!! It's good stuff for sure. Koolada, have definitely heard of it but not tried it YET. Now that I see that it makes fruit flavors pop I just may have to add some to my next order!! Thanks! (I'm glad you feel the same way about the EG as I do...less is definitely more!)

Bov, Creme de mint and coconut sounds wonderful!! If you'd like I can send you some PH to try? I'd be more than happy to, just say the word!

I've been busy running around again today....I am trying my hand at terrariums, and succulent dish gardens so I've been researching and gathering supplies. Will begin the fun soon!

(((hugs))) to everyone!!!

I've been neck deep researching the flavor threads...Nothing much learned either...

My thinking is......a little Koolada in the Purple Haze.....Could be a for sure winner....

At first I was getting a definite Earl Grey taste on exhale...I guess it was EG...hey this is the South...the only tea we know is sweet and full of sugar...I only went 2% and while the exhale isn't unpleasant less could be more for the other 2 flavors involved...Then I've never tasted Purple Haze either...Maybe this carto will break in and not burn like it's brother did....

Tracy, what mg do you vape? I'll trade ya a shot of the Coconut De'Mint for the PH! The batch I mixed today is 14mg. I recently upped my nic because I've been smoking too much. It's helped a lot, especially in the evenings.

And thanks for the too cute necklace link PM style :D

Fran that is impressive. You'd hate the custard I just bought, by itself it's almost too sweet even for me. Thinking it'll make a good mixer.

I've been doing research too Dee. Found a tear down guide for this Compaq. Good grief, they couldn't make it simple to get to the mobo by just taking the back cover off. NOooooo, you have to disassemble everything from the display screen, keyboard, all the way down. Screw it! I'll yank the HD out (which I discovered is not booting) and junk it. I might get $5 for it at our local PC parts store :glare:

Sounds good Bov! I will PM you in the am....past Maddie's bedtime (and mine, who am I kidding!) hahaha
I vape 12mg. 14mgs is good for me too!

Works for me :)

Yep Fran, funny it made me think of you when I tasted it. One of the first things that popped into my head was "Fran would hate this!" LOL

Well here it is but I'm so bumbed. The controller they sent me won't work. So it goes on the shelf until I can afford a good one to put into it. I put vines and grapes on the bottom to camo the vents. That white stuff is from the polish I used.

Too sweet for you Bov is a no no for me. LOL

Well Fran, if sweet isn't your thing, you would probably find me to be wayyyyy too sweet!! I've been told that I'm a sweetie pie!! Yep, that's right! Me!!

Spent the last two days mowing on the tractor with the bush hog and this old boy is "tarred" as we say down here. Just flat out tarred!

This evening right before dark I went out for a ride on my 4wheeler. The air smelled sweet and the temperature was perfect. Fun little ride.

Hoping to get to town to the Post Office early tomorrow then I really should get back on that tractor again. We;re supposed to have storms Tuesday and rain Wednesday, so that will shut down any mowing until things dry out good again. Its a never ending thing here in Yeast Texas in the springtime. Finish mowing then start all over again.

Anyhow, tomorrow is Monday so all you workaholics can get back to those jobs and fight that traffic and eat lunch out of a brown paper bag and smile at your boss.

In the meantime, I'll be puttering around on my ol' tractor and probably stop by the house for chicken and dumplings with iced tea for lunch.

Have fun at work!!!

LOL!!

TT
