Almost a 1/4" each :eek:

Written on 21st Century papyrus
Yeah but all controlled by the hole in the center pin.
I noticed that on my zmax I did not have as much airflow as on my 650 ma batteries with my T3. A difference in the threads and such on the ego connectors. Making the holes larger improved things with the restrictive threading on the Zmax. And with more air I can go higher in watts.
It also solved my T3 gurgling problem on the Zmax. I was drawing in too much juice thru the wick because of the restricted airflow.

Thinking back I got that size wrong? It is one drill size under 1/8.
7/64 it must be.
My bad.

I know what you mean. My reading brain trips over odd language or grammatical inconsistencies or even misspelt words yet has no problems with most verbiage. I think technical writers have no writing style and put together sentences designed to impart knowledge rather than for the pleasure of the reader.

If you think technical writing is bad, try reading codes and regulations. That stuff will drive you batty.

I used to do that for a living and the language made sense to me. Banking and finance regs. I suppose you get used to anything. :cool:

I wrote service bulletins for a few years. Proper verbiage was the least of my worries. I needed to make sure that technicians understood the intent of a change in specifications/procedures.
Picture books! I like picture books! :D

Law and regulations are fun. When I read them, I always ask myself two questions:

1. What do I want this to mean?
2. What does the other guy want it to mean?

BTW, I'm just now trying out a Kabuki tank. The vapor production is remarkable.

I'm still "Shall I or shan't I ?" about getting a Kabuki - maybe this has prodded me more towards "I will get a Kabuki" .......

Can't be any worse than reading adult themed fanfiction written by kids who have no clue.

I've lost track as to how many times I've screamed at my screen "that's not physically possible!"

ROFL!!! I read an actual book recently that this comment reminded me of, SOOOO much. The author pic on the back flap would put the author at about 60-65 yrs old.... but it read like it was written by a 12 yr old who JUST heard about that nastiness called S-E-X. :facepalm: The "hero" would make all these high-minded promises to himself about what dignity and restraint he was going to display, to the "heroine"... and as soon as he got near her, he'd come out with something crude and more suitable to picking up a streetwalker than romancing one's ladylove. :facepalm: (ETA: and the plot... :facepalm: amnesia? Really? And when this guy has no memory, nobody tells him he's in love with this woman and has actually already knocked her up? So she has to marry some other guy just so she doesn't have a child "in sin"? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!)

Never cook fried eggs bare footed, it slipped off the spatula, straight into my foot, I was hopping around like a frog while my kids laughed at me.
Anyway, I'm still around, although I've not been on the thread that much.
What has happened to pap? I hope she's OK..

Kattykins.... I've heard of egg on your face but never on your foot. I'm a walking, well, hopping disaster.

Sounds like that book would be good for bonfire night ;) BUT I have to give you credit it you managed to get to the end.

Well, I hate to stop reading a book in the middle, no matter how inane -- it's like hearing the first part of a joke but never getting to the punchline. :D And I kept hoping she'd salvage her trite plot features and imbecilic characterizations, but that never really happened.

The only book I absolutely had to stop reading was Pet Sematery... when the guy gets out of the shower and finds the cat he just buried staring up at him... I flung that puppy across the room hollering I AIN'T GOING THERE! NO SIR! But it was the middle of the night, everyone in the house asleep but me, right in the middle of the rural N. GA woods where my grandparents lived, and all you could hear were the cicadas, at top volume... For that book to be read at all, you'd have to be sitting in the middle of a brightly-lit library with several hundred people around you.

But there ARE a couple of authors I no longer read -- James Patterson -- he's been phoning it in for years, which is sad, his early books were so great. And Mary Higgins Clark, who writes every book to the same template. :facepalm: Oh, Robin Cook, too, another fill-in-the-blanks template writer. :facepalm:

One that I LOVE is Harlan Coben -- he keeps you guessing till the very last page! I love that!!!

I do like a good book but being single now with all these kids it's hard to get into a book these days, either to much is going on or I'm too tired at night.....or Im nursing a burnt foot. I did enjoy the hungry games books though.

I love a good horror story. I don't scare easily, I rather like that spine tingling sensation. I'm in my element this time of year, when the darkness comes early and the night creatures abound. I sat out on my screened in porch the other night and watched Insidious 3, no light except the glow from the tablet screen. Our property adjoins to woods on one side and about halfway through the movie I had to turn up the volume on the tablet because of all the coyotes howling, yipping, and uttering those barks that sound like insane laughter. A perfect accompaniment to the movie.......

I love the scary stuff too. I can't walk through those Live Haunted Houses though.
My fists react faster then my brain when something jumps out! :eek::eek::eek::D

I enjoy the scary stuff as long as it's not knives. Hate knives or scalpels
