6/28 #1 Morningnite all!

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!

I can drink hot coffee while walking around in my skivvies complaining about how hot it is. Forget can: I HAVE done this :D But if you want it cold, try making cold brew coffee concentrate (http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-mak...-crowd-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-187198). It keeps in the fridge and you can use it to whip up iced coffee or a nice cup of hot coffee. Also, make up some coffee ice cubes. Few things are nastier IMO than creamy iced coffee with regular ice cubes melting and diluting everything down...

Connecticut is experiencing its 2nd wettest month in recorded history, with three days left and rain in the forecast it will probably break the rainfall record. Anyone else all wet?

YES. Upstate SC is out of drought conditions for the first time in my adult life. I think it might even be the first time since the late 80s... Not only are we NOT in a drought, we're currently 5 inches ahead for the year. Asheville and western NC are about 11 inches ahead for the year :ohmy:

#4 ... 6-28

I have no drill bit or a drill for that matter, how to make the hole in my RDA bigger? I'll have to figure that one out later. The more pressing issue is I have to take Wifey to the ER as soon as she is dressed, she had a bad nite last nite and isn't doing any better since I got her up. Here We go again! BBL hopefully!

3. 6/28 - Good mid-morning folks. I performed most of my outdoor chores for the day, time for a little ECF.

RY4? - I haven't liked any I have tried, so I gave up. Like 555, I don't know what flavor they're trying to mimic but it's way off IMO. My favorite tobacco vapes are rich pipe tobacco flavors. I smoked a pipe on and off through the years, which shaped my preference in that area. I had a friend that ran a pipe shop for many years, and I have had some pipe tobacco vapes that taste very much like flavored pipe tobacco smells.

My favorite NETs don't taste like tobacco at all to me. YMMV, obviously.

When I worked with a tobacco wholesaler, State Express 555 was a cigarette we sold into a few tobacco shops... not really mainstream.
But apparently some followers..

4. 6/28 - I smoked 555's for years. They're not really all that special, nor is the taste very unique. Many tobacco vapes seem to make up or steal names that have very little to do with the flavor or smell of the real thing. I've found they are as far off as cherry cough syrup is from real cherries. Marketing and advertizing are annoying and often insulting.

However, if it tastes good to you I won't judge your preference. It beats smoking, whatever flavor you're vaping.
