We do traing with shelter dogs with the Vets as well, dogs can be a great form of therapy for them, the program has really grown:)
Good morning folks
Morning Whis!

G'mornin ya'll and I'm off to recoup the little energy I have than whenever I get enough energy, I'm off to venture to the hospital...it's my heart but I'm great at understanding my own symptoms and no need to rush things. I survived 2 mini strokes in less then 5 days, I can survive a couple more hours since the hospital is merely 3 blocks away.

Dang, hope it all ends out being ok for ya....

Threw together a lazy brekky today of:

  • split and halved whole wheat bagel spread with refried pinto beans + onion powder
  • sliced leftover omelet from yesterday
  • sharp cheddar cheese
  • Louisiana hot sauce (just vinegar, peppers and salt...nice)
  • garlic-pepper





Nice hearty and warm stuff for a chilly morning. :)

I had a table top burner when i was heavy into cigars.....now I have been using it to prep my kanthal wire, works like a charm. So wanted to share with you guys how good it works and how nice it looks, they cost around $35 and hold around an ounce and a half of butane. Heats the wire almost instantly without having to hold a torch or worry it will fall over.

Hi hi! Aw thanks for thinking of me! I always lurk, I just ain't got a whole lot to say :p
I'm actually happy right at the moment tho, which is really nice!
A few nice things are happening in my world which is making me not focus so hard on the bad things. :)

That's soooo cool, like a steampunk Bunsen burner. I want one. :D

Me, I just have one of these $6 ones from FT:

Well-liked on Amazon too:

Works quite well and has a pull-out stand for setting it down when hot. I like that I can fire/adjust it with one hand while holding coils with my tweezers in the other. Holds quite a bit too.

I'm having a lotta fun today whilst I watch this forgotten sitcom... (Can you tell work is dead? lol)

I really wonder why it only lasted one season, it's friggen hilarious! I've watched 3 episodes so far.


The part when Robin (played by Bubba Smith) comes out from hiding in the cooler for 2 hours and says they're almost outta Millers had me rollin'.

Also yes that's Joe Mantegna playing the Arab guy. He shows up in a couple eps and it's funneh!

I love how informative Rip Trippers is....however he annoys the living shit out of me. So, I found a new way to enjoy his videos and get all the information he has to offer....CC. Closed Captions! The only problem is, once in a while even the CC function can't understand him, so it just says "WTF" and "No Idea Whatsoever, you're on your own with this one" at the bottom.....LOL. Keep it Foggy!

Been experimenting today trying to figure out the damned breaker panel for my Apt.



Ya think for being there since 1971 that someone would have marked the damned breakers beyond just "kitchen" "lights", "heat", etc.


I'm trying to shut off the LR heaters which are dual 8-foot baseboards and wreck my 'leccy bill for nothing since I don't live in the living room. The thermostat doesn't actually turn off...below around 50F it'll come on whether I want it to or not.

There are also two 60x70" windows in there. They don't have curtains but just plastic blinds I'd hung blankets over, plus a cathedral ceiling going to the angled roof about 25' up. Eesh...

Old pre-move-in pics:




I finally got it figured out though. :D

Now, I can have heat in my BR and the Bathroom, both of which are very small baseboards, while leaving the $$$ sucking monsters in the LR un-powered. There is enough heat from the Apt. under mine to keep things from freezing.

Also, between me, the cat and a huge tower computer with 3 HDD's and a big video card, keeping the 15x20' BR warm is not a problem. ;)

No more $200 electric bills this year!

Can anyone help please?

I have some juices coming today from Nicoticket that are 50/50 PG/VG
I got a big bottle of VG in the mail yesterday because I've got a PG intolerance and I need to make my stuff way higher VG.

If I take 1 part 50/50 and mix with plain VG, that makes it like 25/75 I think?

I suck at maths.

How can I figure out an easy measurement to get it closer to like 90VG?

I tried a couple ejuice calculator apps and they are waaaaaay too confusing.

Have you tried this one: http://www.steam-engine.org/juice.asp

If you add VG, it will decrease the nic level and 'soften' the flavor of premixed juice.

If ya give me the bottle size and the nic level, I can tell ya better the outcome. ;)
Do you have nicotine to add to it as well?

@m3rma1d

Does this help?

Not 100% sure of these result as I haven't had to bother with premixed editing in a while.
I'm using values for no nic, no flavors, just changing the PG/VG ratios. Assuming 30ml batch.

You're better off asking in the DIY Juice section though, they'd know. I suck at maths too.

Yeah that's an app I tried to use, so friggen confusing lol
I guess I'll just do like 1 part 50/50 to 3 parts VG. Might be overkill but I am FINALLY getting my skin to calm down, I'm not taking any chances.
