tiggerts came home with a case of swamp ....

Bwahahahahahhahahahaha! I resemble that remark!

3. 6/27 - The days of 100+ degree temperatures have begun. Sleeping in is not a viable option when the bedroom has no AC. It gets hot fast. It's past time to switch to iced coffee in the morning, hot coffee is hard to face when you wake up sweating every day.

I have use of a car again today, a voyage to "the city" was made! It still exists, both the car and the city. I saw live humans in person!

Cute bed sheets there Factor52. I've never cared much what my sheets look like as long as they're soft. I don't spend waking hours looking at them. My bedroom has only one purpose, sleep. Yeah, it's like that.

Some question about favorite (not so obvious) "bands" earlier, I have too many to list and know what genre you want to hear about makes a big difference. I've been hooked on anything with Dose in it: Themselves, Subtle, 13&God, CloudDead, and others. Busdriver is also a favorite. Mixed with that, my player is usually on random with various electronica/hip-hop/dub/etc. I can thank my DJ friends for that influence, as well being Generation X. I have a large collection of garage/punk rock, but I haven't been "feeling it" for a long time. I do like a small number of popular musicians, but it's very few.

TMI for one post. Apologies.

Glad you got wheels again! Tea instead of coffee... now that is a darned good idea! After a hot shower, putting on a suit, and trying to drink HOT coffee, I am sweating like a pig and needing another shower! Iced coffee and iced tea is in my future! I intend to brew some up this weekend!

On a side note, I got an iTaste SVD in... very pretty... several buttons that confuse me... when it is at the 18650 size, it is 2 inches longer that my Bolt or the copper mech so a friggen MAG LIGHT! Way too big! It was vaping fine at home, but now I am getting a really tight vape - so barely vape at all... could be the over-used carto? ...perhaps, I will check later. It is definitely not a replacement option for my Bolt, SB, or copper mech.

I baked a pork shank in the oven today while I slept... I thought it was a big, double boned pork roast of some sort that Tommy bought, Tommy said it was a HAM! Whatever it was before, it is a mess now =] I roasted it and it was tougher than shoe leather LOL So, I cut the temp down and left that puppy in the oven and went to sleep. I am going to debone it and make some chili with it in the pressure cooker... I have Caesar salad for the weekend... I had made some chicken fajita meat for the Caesar salad, but I saw that Tommy ate chicken fajitas for dinner and left the salad >.<

Hitting the sack now. Good Night all.

2. 6/28 - I'm definitely making iced tea tomorrow. I have to use some of this mint I'm growing, it's out of control.

The iTaste SVD looked nice, but many APV's do in the pictures. It's so hard to tell what the size will be, the white backgrounds in all the pics don't help at all with scale.

It sounds like your carto is clogged Lisa. If it's the only one you have with you, blow it out from the connector side, as I'm sure you know by now. I rarely take a backup battery with me, I make sure it's charged before I go anywhere. I do have my eyes on a tiny VV passthrough to keep in the glove box. I do take a backup clearo in a small ziplock, even if I don't drop or break anything clogs and leaks can happen.

Lady, you need to catch a break... Get them all off to work and out of the house and relax for a bit, you've been running all week AND dealing with a broken freezer.

Hitting the sack now. Good Night all.

Rest easy, Steve!

I have seen no briskets on sale... They should have started already for the 4th. I have a couple of recipes I want to test out on the smoker with brisket :/ Oh well, Tommy wanted some tamales but I am not sure I want to make some this weekend... I'd like to wait until winter to make tamales, but I may have to get some made sooner :/ COME ON WINTER!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you are probably right, it is clogged... problem is, my carto was FULL when I was at home and now it is EMPTY... like I vaped it all in the 6 minutes ride here?!?!?!? It hasn't leaked all over my shirt, so I guess I vaped it OR dreamed it was full sheesh! I blow it out and I'll be out of juice with no needle bottle here :/ Stupid of me, I know.

The carto has been used with several different juices - the last of which is cinnamon, so it is very dark now... I'll get what I can out of it and be better prepared next week... I need needle bottles and some M3s to go with the juice and battery I am currently carrying :/

1- Heck it would drive people nuts in Iraq how me and other other guy would drink coffee hot even when it would be 130-140 outside. Dr's appt went OK I suppose she spent about an hour with me explaining the process and got me some meds, some that I can use all of the time, others that are for when I am staying at home for a while.

Good to know, Sky! Dot those I's and cross those T's before you get out! I am very excited for you =] So many new changes coming your way!

2- Thanks Lisa, hoping that they go ahead and get me out, to be honest I am tired of this constant fight here, and with it all winding down they are looking for people other than me to be here.
Nothing like sitting at work with muscle relaxers and pain relievers on board to make for an interesting night.

1) The excellent Bill Herbst, the gentleman that started this fantastic RY4 thread, has taken a stab at making a classic synthetic RY4. I've had and enjoyed some of his NET RY4s in the past. This version of Bill's Pretty Good Classic RY4 is much more than pretty good. It's a nicely blended RY4 that does a good job at mimicking the can't-quite-pick-out-individual-flavors characteristic of the best classic RY4s I've had. For reference, my favorite synthetic classic RY4 is Janty DK and my favorite NET RY4 is Goodejuice GJ4.

I've always heard that drinking hot beverages equalizes the body temp when it's hot outside.

Chores are done I'm going to bed.

 

[skydvejam]

3- Interesting, never really liked the RY4's though myself. Heck have not liked many of the tobacco flavors to be honest.

Vape problem SOLVED! I went to the restroom, popped the grommets out of the tank, rinsed everything and blew the carto out good, refilled the rebuilt tank with Endless summer juice and then popped the last grommet on and I am good to go! The carto is gunked pretty bad, so I'll just deal with it and clean all of my tanks this weekend.

I have some great tobacco juice coming in this weekend [I hope] so I'll be in a better place very soon =]

I have heard the same thing, GeorgiaMntGirl... not sure how it works, but I have been craving some sweet southern tea, so I have to get some made this weekend =]

Have a good rest!

3- Wow woke up this afternoon, mind you I work nights, and it is pouring rain and we are under a tornado watch, weird weather for sure, painful too hope that doc can help me some later.

We are going to be sunny, dry and 118 DEGREES tomorrow.

 

[skydvejam]

4- Yes that does work, a few years in Iraq has taught me that. Both the Turkish people and locals have some good hot teas that are so good.

2) That's not really surprising. There are so many variations of RY4s that many people have middling experiences with them. There are far more bad tobacco e-liquids out there than good ones. Even tobacco juices that purport to be the Best Damn Tobacco are average, at best. Thankfully, NET e-liquid vendors like Ahlusion, Goodejuice, Want2Vape, etc. make some really special juices for fans of authentic tobacco flavor. The unfortunate part is that many store owners have had poor experiences with tobacco e-liquids and it shows with their selection. Out of the five vape shops in LA, only one has quality tobacco e-liquids.

Good to see you again, Chic!

I got another pressure cooker/smoker in! I am going to play with it this weekend... I really want to smoke some veggies, though - eggplant specifically!

 

[skydvejam]

5- I have had a few good Johnson Creek juices, just finding myself enjoying the sweet and candy types more, mint and menthol is so yummy right now to me.

Somebody was asking about favorite bands earlier. My favorite music is Blues so most won't recognize my favorite bands but here's one of my favorite singers that is probably one of your favorite actors (and mine), but he was singing everything from rock to opera before he ever acted. He still has a blues band he tours with and plays a mean harmonica.

This is my favorite version of Under the Boardwalk.

and one of my favorite songs that he does.

3) With Google Reader dying on July 1 and iGoogle dying on November 1, I'm looking for a new RSS reader and personalized home page service. Any recommendations? I've played around with Feedly a little bit and I don't really have an opinion on it. I've heard good things about Netvibes and igHome. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi...ah, you know the rest.

#1 Hi to all. Dealing with the usual insomnia tonight. Its hot in Tucson and I feel gross.
I am a fan of tobacco juices, including RY4. I must say though, that a lot of juices that are called RY4 bear little resemblance to the first RY4s that I tried. I really miss BWB's RY4 (sorry if I shouldn't have mentioned the vendor). Best RY4 ever. Never found a decent replacement for it. Good tobacco juices are hard to come by, as RPad said. Most of them were probably formulated by people who don't vape tobaccos. Its unfortunate. I think more people would like tobacco juices if they had more good experiences with them. I for one used to hate tobacco flavors. For the first 9 months of vaping, everything I tried was awful. Granted, I was vaping juices from the same local B&M, and their tobaccos suck. Now that I've found good vendors and started mixing my own its the majority of what I vape.
