I’m about to order breakfast, so it will be eggs, home fries, WW toast, and nice fresh brewed coffee. After this horrible week, I don’t really feel guilty splurging.

Oh, and a toasted buttered fresh blueberry muffin, it’s good to live in NY every now and then. :giggle:

I'm not sure what my latest purchase was if honest. Have good reason for not knowing. I really don't have any "my money", but am allowed a bit of a stipend. From that the latest few things I bought we're a DovPo Topside, a Wasp Nano, some wrong sized tubing, a Vindicator Mod & Kennedy RDA kit.

Even if I work and can have "my money" I usually choose putting it into "our money" pool with the wife. As I've mentioned before I don't worry about money. Sure, we're dirt poor but we still don't worry about money. It comes and goes so no point. And no, not worrying over isn't why we are dirt poor. We live within our means best able. It coming and going is merely how life goes.

Yeah, I do believe we're all passing through. :)

My latest purchase was $30 in chicken breast.
And 8lbs of ground beef.
Took me 3 days to find that. I could have bought more, but didn't want to leave the people behind me with nothing. Im not that guy.
Felt like I won the lottery. Meat is as hard to find as toilet paper here.

Check out your local meat processors. the ones that are near me have plenty.
You may have to shell out for a minimum purchase but you'll have your meat.

That's actually where I ended up finding the ground beef and chicken breast. Everyone is flocking to meijer, Kroger, aldi and the likes and clearing them out. Luckily I have a fantastic meat processing and packing store close by. They had plenty of meat, fresh and frozen.

If you have the space, it's good to have a large freezer. I have one in the garage that i got from my Grandfather years ago.
It's a Kelvinator. Don't know how old but the power cord insulation is made of cloth. So it's old. Still works great.
It holds the pig and 1/2 beef i bought last fall. Just went to a farm and bought another cow and it's going to the Processor.
Cost me $1250 but he's a big one. Should get around 650lb out of him.

I have a chest freezer in the basement. Could fit 4 adult bodies in it. Whole.
It's packed now full of fish, chicken, pork and ground beef.

Good deal. and you probably already know this but don't forget to fill your old milk jugs etc with water and stick them in all the empty spaces.
Helps if the power goes out. And thanks for the heads up to not walk down your street if times get really bad!

Is your Wasp Nano the RDA one, bro?

Wow! I never see stuff like that where I live.

Yep. Oh and I did find my other Wasp Nano RDA. It was on my Eleaf Pico Squeeze. The mice apparently knocked it off my bedside tray/table. It was down under that on a box. So, I got two of the pee colored "ultem" top cap Wasp Nano and one with a translucent top cap. Got the Gorge back on the DovPo Topside. I'll use it at 18-20 watts. Not keen on temp control at all. It is at least functional so far. *touches wood thrice*

I got the Tobhino RDA that the Luxotic kit come with. I'm not using it yet as I still need to get a coil leg cutting jig. It's an okay RDA in my view but the Wasp suits me a little better. Got two Velocity V2 clones stuffed back. Quite a few (possibly four to five) different Goon RDA stuffed back, or in disrepair. Still got a Mr. Owl RDA which doesn't get used often at all. Got the Kennedy on the Vindicator. Got some old Evod style tanks, maybe about 3 but no coil heads for them (which is no great loss in my view). Aside from a brass Coppervape mod, that's pretty much it for me. I'm kind of retiring the aluminum Coppervape. Really would like to find those carried somewhere for about $20 still, but I figure they've "run their course".

Wowza, I remember when Evods were the shit. :giggle: And the 650mah batteries they came with.

I bought my first Wasp Nano on sale, and I was wondering if I should get another one. With May so near and all. :hug:

I bought cotton face masks on Etsy from 2 different US sellers, no China shit for me. Lots of sellers are selling masks there. You get to support folks who are probably laid off and doing what they can to get some bucks come in.

Shawn.Hoefer has a silver CV for sale in his Hardware thread (FS Lots and Lots or summat).

Correction: He did have. Someone just asked for a quote on a bundle and that's one of the items they selected.

Last thing I bought that wasn't vape stuff or groceries was some Yerba Santa herbal drops off Etsy. Contains one of the compounds (eriodictyol) the IBM Summit computer said might well be effective against COVID-19. (@Rhianne quercetin was also in the list, so good on you for suggesting it.)

You know you're going to get another one. :D :p I got three and probably will get another, or two, or three. They're nice little RDAs. I also like the Gorge though and the Kennedy. I'm hard pressed to have a favorite. Used to like Goons as well. Still do to a point. And I like the Velocities. :)

I’ve been taking Quercetin since whatever mystery flu it was hit me in late November. It’s meant to have a similar action to chloroquine, which I read Trump is busy acquiring now. I wonder if he intends to distribute it to hospitals.

The one thing about the Quercetin is that I think it helps even if you’re not infected with corona. I’m not sure about chloroquine like that, hydroxy or otherwise.

It will be very interesting to see which of us have the corona antibodies when they make that test available. I remember how many of us on VU had a very bad flu around the holidays last year.

But I’ve also read that in October a bad flu was going around NYC. Possibly it was a different flu than corona. We need info!!

I’m brokesville now, but if they’re available, I’ll get one or two. I trust your opinion and Crom’s. Plus, I’m realizing that if my sub tanks decide to crap out, I’d be up the proverbial creek. And having a bit less money now isn’t helpful.

Although the Regs are meant to be postponed a bit now. But Cuomo just had to push that Flavor Ban through now. Such a dickhead.

Man a bunch of stuff. I'll go with new carving knife. Lol

Gee, that doesn't ominous at all. *chuckles*

Careful slinging trust around like that. :) *chuckles* I might tell you go tail pipe a Wasp. I tail pipe them most of the time. Once in a bit I like the feel of a tip. I use the same kind of tips @The Cromwell uses though, tiny nub tips. I even found clear transparent ones. :)

I trust you as my bro, and I trust Crom because he’s a cheapskate! :snorty giggle:

I bought mandarin oranges. They’re yummy and I needed some fresh fruit. Also they’re high in Vitamin C.

I splurged and bought kombucha and Blood oranges and Mandarin oranges.

I need the Vitamin C from citrus fruits, and live probiotics. And kombucha is yummy and fizzy, like healthy soda.

Dremel. One cheapo from Walmart then a better one from Amazon with a flex shaft attachment that's more like using a pen. Trying to up my wood game. . Does it mean you're getting old when you're excited about tools? Also bought a bench vice. Oh and a new push mower.

It means you're getting middle-aged.

It means you're getting old when you get excited about genealogy. :)

Locally grown air dried tea and mustard green seedlings

That tea sounds great. I read at EWG that most tea now has heavy metals from the soil even if it’s organic. I’ve been buying Twinings because it’s affordable, and it tastes pretty good.

The carvings I got from you are cute!! I have the smaller one on top of a mod in my vaping area, and it looks adorable. The longer magnet one is on my fridge. I’ve got a bunch of magnets with vintage ads or pics in them that someone made, and it looks awesome.

Thank you! <3
