That's what happens when you have half a horse living indoors. I have a friend that has a Dane that thinks he's a lap dog. Pretty funny seeing the pictures he posts. Their dog before was a St Bernard. He was like wrapping your arms around another person but I couldn't take the drool. The only thing tough about those breeds is the short life span. I don't like 12/13 years, I'd really hate 7/8. Of course at this point, all of them have the potential to outlive me. Every time you hear of someone like Ken Stabler passing you just wonder when your card will be pulled.

    I saw that he passed. I remember his name very well.

    Believe it or not but I have ventured into the world of sub ohming. I picked up a couple subtank minis and have made some DIY mixes that taste great in them. I don't know if it'll stick but for the first time I'm vaping something below 24mg.

    You know the rules Hitt. As long as you have batteries to handle the draw, it's pretty straight forward. I find it pretty worry free and economical. I wind my own coils and have been using 22 awg wire. The coils last forever, just need to dry burn the crap off them every once in awhile and you're good to go.

    Oh, forgot to mention, I got an email from by cousin that my mom's youngest brother wasn't feeling well. He went to the hospital and his kidney's are in really bad shape. The started him on dialysis today and have to take it slow because of his condition. When it rains it pours.

    I thought about it. The guy that runs the store was very talkative when he found out that I vape too. He showed me all their different lines of eliquid. They aren't any higher than ordering online. I have been making my own coils for the kfl+ attys I've been using. I'm also getting into mixing my own liquids. The TFA thread is very helpful.

    I think I have about 500ml of 100mg nic in the freezer. I think that will last me my lifetime if push comes to shove. I go through juice so slowly. I've been using a 50ml bottle of nicoticket for well over a month and I might have anoth 6 months left in it. Light weight anymore in all things nic related.

    A little excitement around here for those that follow poker. The November Nine were determined yesterday (actually this morning) for the final table at the World Series of Poker. Joe McKeehen is the leading chip leader. He's from North Wales, 24, and a life long resident of this area. Back when I was his age, I was driving school bus in his school district and possibly in his neighborhood. He must have graduated from college as a math major and gone directly to poker. He had a bit under $400k in winnings before this years WSOP, not bad for a recent college grad but nothing compared to this years earnings.

    Before making the final table in the main event, he pocketed nearly a million in winnings this past month and at a minimum, he'll make $2m if he goes out first. Winning it all he'd pocket a little over $8m and join the elite. It should be an interesting final as there's also a fellow that's 72. That is a rare occurrence these days in a game that's filled with 20 year olds.

    You've got that right Hitt. It takes a certain type individual to make it in the pro poker world though. It's funny playing all these years in local tournaments. So many people watch what you get on TV which is usually final table stuff. But that's not how the game is played early regardless of the venue or amount of money to be played for. I watched an entire WPT tourney in NJ a few years ago and made friends with wives and friends of the different players. It's quite a grind to wait for quality hands and maximizing the pots when you get them. Then it's the hours involved in a big tourney like WSOP. 12 hour days, day after day with each hand having the potential to severely cripple your stack or put you out has to be brutal. It's not only the physical exhaustion but the mental. That's why you see mostly 20 somethings lasting.

    I can understand that the young guys might have a bit of an advantage when it comes to stamina. I could use a little bit of that stamina for my daily work too. I asked my boss recently if I could get a little overtime in but he hasn't decided yet. I could really use some extra money but didn't feel right asking for a raise. So I figured that if I could get in a few hours of OT and get some stuff done around here that needs to be done and isn't getting done then it would benefit both of us. We have a new guy starting in a few weeks but I honestly don't have high hopes that he'll be able to get everything done that we need done. I could honestly use an extra hour a day just to get more of my own work done but didn't want to present it like that.

    Rwb, shouldn't you be working or something?

    Roth, too cute. Our youngest used to push the cat around in a play stroller.

    Well, I got my answer on the overtime and them some. First he thinks that the new guy starting the end of the month is going to solve all of our problems. Not only am I not being allowed any overtime, I also got a speech about how we should be billing more hours out and was asked if I'm being held up by other employees wanting to chat. I almost blew a gasket. I always have more work than I can finish and never complain about it to him. I was only asking for 3-5 hours a week. The conversation happened early this morning and I'm still ......!
