Okay, me and my neighbor just danced naked under the moon emerging from the eclipse
He actually did buy a pair the next day.Well you know what to buy him next. Steel Cap Boots.
Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a shot. I've just heard so many good things about it. I'm not sure I'll like it since I don't really care for single coil attys and lower wattage. We'll see. Thanks again for the info.The Mjolnirs, it feels like about 32-35 watts. They're both on semi-regulated mods, so I can't tell you the exact wattage. I put 2.5mm, 26ga SS parallel coils in them, ohms at 0.3. I just tried one of them on a Minikin Reborn and 35 watts is on the highish end, like when the batteries I'm normally using are fully charged, so yeah, I think 32-35 is a decent guess.
If it’s black and you don’t like it I’ll buy it from you. I’ve been watching for a black one but don’t want to deal with China anymore. Have an order in California for over a month. Don’t plan on ever getting it.He actually did buy a pair the next day.

I'm glad to hear your daughter is back!
Looking like we might lockdown againRained most of the day here. Good because it saved me washing the car. Just parked it in the pouring rain for a few hours then drove on our wettest roads for 20 mins to clean the underneath and wash the bugs off of the grill mesh. Too easy.
Visited a patient in hospital and watched 3 episodes of the Three Stooges with him. Had a good laugh.
Feel sorry for the Melbournians though. Some new covid cases recorded there, just 13, just 13 sounds so insignificant when you see whats happening in India and elsewhere but the state gov hits hyperdrive and sets the sirens off when they pop up so mask up time for them there again in poor ole Melbourne. Hopefully it doesn't grow, though with new strains and so many returning travelers its bound to happen and see more lockdowns.

And so are we up in the bush too now I saw even though in our district there are no cases or even exposure sites. I get it though given the new variant acts different to the others and who knows who went where from here as we have a lot of newbies living here from Melbourne as well as those escaped into the bush in camps coming into town to shop. Blew me away just driving to the shops and hospital the amount of 4wds with caravans and campers I saw going through town.Looking like we might lockdown again
I think that the ring of steel is a nightmare to set up and maintain. So maybe just more practical to be state wideAnd so are we up in the bush too now I saw even though in our district there are no cases or even exposure sites.

Went to visit one of the patients today just before we got locked out, as I write this im not allowed any visits till things change, and got him some goodies from the supermarket. It was pandemonium in there. I think I found the last parking spot there and inside it was trolleys full of bottled water and toilet paper! I felt out of place just buying chocolate and chips and a newspaper there.
Stay safe Doggy.
Yeah I think so too as much as it bugs me up here. If it saves lives then fair enough.I think that the ring of steel is a nightmare to set up and maintain. So maybe just more practical to be state wide
Morning
Bit stronger than flu jab
Looking forward to Friday. My mother is getting surgery on her broken wrist then, with plates, pins, bolts, and all. The sooner that gets done, the sooner she can get back to just being regular, normal, ornery self.
yesI hope you don't have to lock down again. This is getting so OLD for everybody. How is the vaccine response there? Are people just not willing to get it?
He told you that?Well, we got adoptedView attachment 182376
His name is Fred - a little skinny but a real love. He wants his nards cut

You should tack "Astaire" onto the end of his name, as he looks very much like a tuxedo kitty! God, I'd love having a cat named Fred Astaire! lol
I bet he is a love. I think most every tuxedo I've ever seen was.
He will walk in when he is ready, watch out little ones...Ah, his own last name, good idea!
We already have Dr Edgar Balzac , so why not Fred Astaire?
He is currently living in a box under the house as theassholesprecious kitties we already have won't let him in, but seem okay with him being in the yard. He desperately wants to be in the house with us though
they work it out....Fred will have to get past this 17-pound, polydactyl, Ballsack first, who as of right now says no, lol

Makes knives, has a killer cat called monster, uses mower to kill snakes....So... this evening, I dragged out the mower. The lawn was getting pretty shaggy after all the rain. In our front yard, I discovered something that should not have been there. I am used to snakes slithering away, especially tiny ones. This one, maybe 16 inches long coiled up and looked straight at me.
I figured "OK, screw you", and mowed the little bastard. Looks like eastern diamondback baby rattlesnake to me.

Well, I am from Texas, with a bit of a red neck. I protect my own, and thank goodness that snake was not in the back yard with the dogs. One of the schnauzers had already been bit, and we took him to the vet for treatment.Makes knives, has a killer cat called monster, uses mower to kill snakes....
Your like a bad Elly May.
Yeah they are a pain around dogs. Our staffy we had got nailed by a brown snake, highly venomous, and as I wasnt home the neighbor took the misses and him to the vet. Just a few minute drive from us but he only just made it convulsing and frothing at the mouth just 2 minutes after the bites. Got sick of the hassle in summer of them with pets so we decided not to get another dog where we are.Well, I am from Texas, with a bit of a red neck.

We were told our dog was lucky he had been bit on the muzzle. Anywhere else, and he might not have lived. He still looked very sick for about 6 weeks after being treated by the vet.Yeah they are a pain around dogs.

Im not game to try catching ours unless I had to.We were told our dog was lucky he had been bit on the muzzle. Anywhere else, and he might not have lived. He still looked very sick for about 6 weeks after being treated by the vet.
I also own a 5 foot snake grabbing tool. It's handy for most snakes I find. Some go in the smoker. Yep. When, life gives ya rattlesnakes, cook em up. Big pythons are good too. Not sure about the Aussie snakes. You might do a little research and see which ones you can put on your plate.
Some of the areas where I used to go fishing just ain't worth the effort anymore. Too many water moccasins around. I'd spend too much time plinking at them, besides, anything I'd catch can't be put in any basket or on a stringer. The bastards would kill my catch.Im not game to try catching ours unless I had to.
I had one hit my boot once, another a 6 footer brown slowly slither over my foot mid step. A friend was killed by a Taipan in Qld sadly several yrs ago. I like seeing them just dont mess with them. In my area the majority are venomous and I cant recall seeing a non venomous one really. I used to camp and hunt a lot yrs ago. Make snares, trap, the lot, from my childhood. If it hit the fan I know id survive no issues even without a gun. I'v been in all the bush areas in central vic hunting, fishing, prospecting and know it like the back of my hand. My dad actually taught me how to tickle fish too.
But unless I have to im happy to go shopping for my food these days other than fish.
As a teenager a friend's mum had an exotic food shop. We tried curried rattle snake, chocolate coated grasshoppers, fried baby bees, curried witchety grubs and fried ants.
Iv caught witchety grubs myself and cooked them when I used to be bothered to and they are really nice. The rattle snake was nice I recall. The others were edible crunchy things. You'd eat them if you were hungry but nothing special taste wise.
Yeah id be steering clear of places like that too.Some of the areas where I used to go fishing just ain't worth the effort anymore. Too many water moccasins around. I'd spend too much time plinking at them, besides, anything I'd catch can't be put in any basket or on a stringer. The bastards would kill my catch.
I freaked out a bit one day. After I pulled up a basket and chopped up a moccasin, I saw an 18 foot python slither along the bank. We don't get snakes that big around here. Bigger than what I've seen on the show "Swamp People". Dang thing was as big around as a tree trunk. That would have been good eats if I could have killed it. I don't go fishing there anymore.
We get European Carp here in places. I have seen so many fish for them but never tried one. All I see fish for them are European themselves. I asked a few times if they ate them and they said yes. So I purposely caught one about 10lb. Oh no way. As soon as I started filleting it the smell near made me sick and I threw it. Nope not happening.At that fishing area, I was catching bass and crappie. They both go for the same bait and lures. My mom was at a different spot catching the little catfish we call pollywogs. Most other areas are so full of carp and turtles, you wouldn't catch anything but. My hubby and I finally got a boat, right before the Covid crap hit, so we didn't bother getting it registered yet. We figured it ain't worth paying a yearly fee for something the state won't let us use. Same for the fishing licenses. We ain't bought any since the pandemic hit.
Forget about eating the turtles. They taste nasty. The carp are so bony, they ain't worth it unless you catch a really big one... and I mean big enough to fillet on site. Last time I did that, a game warden asked me about the bag of fish meat in the cooler. I showed him the pile of remains to prove it was carp. We used the entrails as bait.
At a park, we tried fishing at a creek bank. We used to catch decent sized catfish there, but no more. Something else moved in. These critters have a nasty temperament, and get downright big. What's worse, is that they are protected by state law. The alligator snapping turtle.We get European Carp here in places. I have seen so many fish for them but never tried one.

Garbage fish.
I once tried to save a turtle that had come out of a dam here and was on the road. The moment I picked it up it sprayed me with the most sickening urine smell, any smell, I have smelt. All over my shirt and pants. I dropped it, went to the car, stripped and threw them in the boot then bin at home. Id have to be near death to consider trying to eat one.
Wow. I saw a fishing show once with one of those bite a finger size stick in half. Another member here too told me they stop people from swimming where they are.At a park, we tried fishing at a creek bank. We used to catch decent sized catfish there, but no more.

the pic was a download. I caught 2 of these bastards, big as a 5 gallon bucket, and had to release them back into where I caught them.

A 4 footer would be awesome! Good to eat?We don't have jumping carp here, just the kind that eat your bait. We have some alligator gar not too many. Mostly needlenose gar. Some get big enough the scales might get mistaken for shark teeth, at about an inch long and 3/4" wide, and a good 1/8" thick. The biggest I caught was 4 feet long. They put up a good fight, and once they do a gator roll, and wrap themselves up in your line, they can't get away.
