Hello all, it's been a while. Since I only read the last two pages, I'll just say I hope everyone is doing well, considering...
Life here isn't easy, but it's good. Been deep down in the DIY rabbit hole in any spare time I've had at night.
Turning 40 in a few weeks, and in the interest of giving TMI, just recovered from a vasectomy (woo hoo!).

Morning knuckles. We had 2 minutes of snow here yesterday. WTF.

Any news on 22's race? I don't care if he won, lost, finished, or not... Just hoping he survived. Been mighty quiet...

I didn't run.

Did a bunch of yard work Saturday and my foot was bothering me. The race was at 5pm and at that point I didn't think I could walk 3 miles.
I've been feeling bad about it since. But, made the right decision.

I'll sign up for another. Hell, you can't leave the house on a Saturday when there's not a road closure for another race.

I only lasted an hour and twenty into a 12 hour fast for a blood test.

You and me buddy, fatties of a feather

Hmm, you may have a point. Instead of running, I went to McDonald's and ate 3 hamburgers, a large fry, half of my wife's fish sandwich and a chocolate milkshake.

That is some serious training . . . .

and, on a lighter note I'm back at work. Back is still killin' me, but I'm done with the house stuff for now.

Totally respectable decision. I thought maybe you carked it along the way.
Glad you're okay!

got my noisy cricket mod today, my first series mech

i built 26/32 nichrome clapton duals on 3mm id. It's about 0.6, so theoretically pushing 90+ watts. It doesn't really punch at that wattage with the chunky coils though, so will keep playing.

I like it enough that I will talk to Vaughan about "bricking"/tiling my two blocks into one to make a series squonker though

Tamed it down. Only around 70 watts. Clapton Z coil in stumpy. Nice. Not blown away by it, but it is good.

@Hawkizefan, Hawkie, did you get a chance to say goodbye to Fredi???

You can't totally decimate a team without impeaching the boss.
Rumor has it that from now on the first base coach will have a billy club.
Reach first base.....get whacked in the knee. Playing to win will not be tolerated.
And you don't even want to know what the third base coach will be carrying.

Morning hawkie.

I got thermals today. I should have ordered one size up. But i am quite warm, I think they add sex appeal too

I agree, I am really loving mine, and even with the new toy syndrome the batteries last a lot longer than any other mod I have. So far still haven't tried anything other than wattage mode, but things have been beyond insane here since it arrived.

We have gotten back a few of the race car parts, a tiny portion of what was stolen, but days are still spent talking to police and working to get the itemized list done, and the scouting trips to check the other place and make sure they haven't returned to take everything else.
We have a pretty good lead on at least one of the thieves, including photos and a FaceBook page complete with friends.

Honestly without vape I'm not sure I wouldn't have smoked, even after nearly 3 years.
