I haven't either, haven't took the time to figure out the software. Not sure I'm missing anything though, can't remember the last time I had a dry hit, even using my nude nicotine molasses 100% VG.

May try it when I retire Bob.......:giggle:

Yur exactly right about folks retiring then going back to work. The only thing I can think of is a lack of hobbies too.
Or can't get along with the wife?

By the way, what are you using for TC....DNA product or different?
Whatever chip is in the Disguiser mod. Seems to work nice on SS316.
Running paralell .7 ohm 26 GA SS316 coils. .35 total resistance.

I am sure it is not DNA. Movkin mod.
I won the mod.

The bad thing about retirement is that some folks, their health just goes to hell after they retire -- that's happened with both my parents. I tried and tried to get my mom interested in things she might do as part-time employment, she was NOT interested. Now she can't get out of her wheelchair -- she never needed a wheelchair till about 10 yrs after she retired.

I am still usin a 2 bay $7 Trustfire charger....

You musta got one of the special edition functional models.

The problem with a TR001 charger is TrustFire has reinvented the electronics at least a half dozen times - and they are all still called a TR001. (The only way you can tell which version you have is to disassemble it and look for the revision number on the PCB.) In it's most recent incarnation? Good luck getting an 18650 battery charged in less than 12 hours...

No, it's NOT right, and if she hadn't been so fucking stubborn and lazy and done her PT after her hip replacements, she wouldn't be in that fucker!

Hmm about 6 hours or so for LG HG2 3000 mah.
Got plenty no rush.
Seems to take about the same amount of time as an Intellicharger I won.
but I like the slidey thingys better in the Trustfire.

How can I get bored being retired.
I have Lucy to give a hard time about squanking and such.

Now I am not sure whether to get one of those Chester Copperbottom squankers or not.....

Glad to be able to help you ease into your dotage Bob

Chester Copperbottom is great - if you can remember to squonk. Just get a decent build going and squonk it every time.

You can thank me later :)

Ahh hip replacements. Yep she needed PT.
Another 10 years and I may well be in a wheelchair with my back issues. Sooner If I had kept on working.

ohh my dotage rate has slowed down since I don't have to deal with the rude dumb assed public every day now.
I don't hate humans now as much as I did a few months ago.
Still not sure I would do anything to prevent their extinction, just not inclined to accelerate it now.

The general pattern I have seen is people who make no plans for their retirement are a miserable fail. The people who do really well are the folks who have plans laid out before their ass has left the building: Renewing their teaching credentials, travel plans, part-time jobs in something they always wanted to do, volunteer work etc. The likes of landing your butt in front of a TeeVee for 10+ hours a day is the worst retirement "planning" ever.

I was back in the home improvement store last week where I used to work. Picking up some shelf brackets.
A jerk came up to me and asked me why the store was out of a product.
I just grinned and told him I had no idea and walked off. I heard him threaten to go get a manager.
I just told him you do that :)
Felt good.

I've already given my husband strict instructions that if anything happens to me that causes me to temporarily need a wheelchair, he has explicit instructions to use a belt, drag me out of it, or whatever is necessary, so I don't wind up in the same straits as my mom -- she's only 75 yrs old, there's just no excuse for her to be in that thing, except her own stupid stubborn can't-be-told-anything obstinacy. This woman being eaten alive by diabetes, who won't eat anything but sugar. :facepalm:

I am nothing whatever like my mom -- really a great deal more like my dad, though I barely knew him enough to even know that -- but my husband is GLAD -- he and my dad were like old hippies together. :D (because they WERE old hippies together!) :giggle:

Yes, when I make a typo, then I look. If the letters aren't showing, that makes correcting typos a lot harder.

Andria

I just took touch typing in high school. Nuns and steel rulers were involved - which might explain my somewhat Pavlovian instinct to avoid looking at a keyboard.

Or in front of a computer chatting with vapers?

I watch virtually no TV.
Got a decent workshop and friends and family who need help fixing stuff.
Did not plan out my retirement.
for ones who do that what happens when plans do not work out?

I will be fine just going with the flow.

Kinda my theme song.

Gotta start tearing most of the dash out of the new/used vehicle I got the wife unit to crash.
AC/heater box issues. Why I got it cheap.
$700-1000 dealer job.
I will put new cores and blower motor in for about $150.

I took it in one of those community "business" schools; was up to 60 wpm at one point, especially when I used to do the live-chat BBS thing. Now, it's still more or less touch typing (which is why the layout and spacing of the keyboard is so crucial to me, that I hung onto that old keyboard thru about 5 re-labellings), but it's not strict -- I do look sometimes, to make sure I'm in the correct position, to hit some of the non-alpha keys, or whatever. Correcting typos is the usual reason, and being able to see the letters makes that much easier.

At least that involves an active level of participation.

Those are the people who tend to make another plan.

OTOH I'm seeing my sister, who was 'married' to her job and made zero plans for what to do post retirement. She lives enriching days full of watching nothing but re-runs of Castle or Bones, and then buying tons of useless stuff she has no need or room for when she gets bored with that.

And... repeat. :facepalm:

Oh yeah, retail therapy, my mom gets every catalog under the sun -- yet thinks it's weird that I order vape stuff or printer ink online. :facepalm:

They were preorder which I did not realize at the time.
Me either...nor do I remember them specifically saying they were pre-order...oh well, at least we didn't get ripped off.

How do you like the squonker?

May try it next weekend when I have a free moment.

I like it. Just not earth shattering good.
Am using a velocity mini on it right now. Dual .7 SS316 coils in TC mode.
Be careful on the squonking. It pumps a lot of juice with a moderate squeeze can flood a velocity out the airholes with one generous squeeze.

have to shorten a BF pin for my NarDa clone.

Let me know if you need help installing it. The instructions suck.

That is a problem when different squonkers come with different bottles...I try to use the Italian bottles on all the mods if they fit, I'm accustomed to barely squeezing.

Retirement is the leading cause of death for the elderly. :p I'm going with what the old guy on Pawn Stars said: "I'll retire. The day after I die." 'Tis why I plan on keeping active with some type of work for as long as I'm capable of doing so.

Mornin fugee's and GFY ;)

Seen the cardiologist yesterday. He said everything is looking good but wants to do an angiogram Thursday morning. Told him whatever gets me back to work as soon as possible. Had about my fill of being at home and am past ready to be on the go again.

The idea of retiring is great but in all honesty I dread that day. I been out on sick leave since June 7th and I am climbing the walls already. There is only so much grass that can be cut, projects that you can do or juice to be mixed before the walls start closing in on ya. I want to be in a financial position so that at age 60 I can leave the rat race if I want but in reality, I think it would be dumb on my part to retire from a 6 figure income just to take a minimum wage job to keep from getting bored.

Now once i get the sail boat I want, my attitude about retiring might change :)

You are right - I use a Mac :giggle:

Awe, I see how you are now. :) I was actually thinking of politically correct squatting. Both do apply though. :giggle:

I still use a PC architecture, 64bit. Currently awaiting attaining more/better memory for it. Seems the Ubuntu LTS I have on it decides at times to act like a Windows based machine. I float between the Debian based distributions of Linux. Even make use of a plethora of Unix programs at times.

Quick, someone come watch me. I have dangerous software and access to nuclear launch codes. Muhaha! "Big red button labeled 'Do Not Push'? Nah, I don't know why it looks like someone whacked it with a 20 lbs sledge hammer," says he and whistles an innocent tune as he walks slowly away.

Linux is becoming more and more user friendly by the day. I am surprised more people haven't cut the microsucks strings and gave linux a try.

That's the ticket. How could you get bored fishing, crabbing, sailing from one location to the next. No way. No how.
BTW, I cannot get that song I Will Surive out of my head now. Thanks a lot!!!

If you ever got that retirement home you showed me I could sail up the bayou playing this......


Pull up to your boat dock and play this.......


Then we can sail to this little hamburger joint/bar i know of that you can only get to by boat and do this......

Just make sure you keep it between the navigational buoys. Especially, if you have been to Margarittaville.
