How’s everyone doing?
I’ve been popping in and out but been silent lately. (Like a fly on the wall)
Life’s been busy. Planning a wedding for sometime this year and trying to focus on work.

Hope everyone is healthy and doing well!

Wuz tired yesterday and crashed before Pharts time to chat.
Got the brick Well box type thing removed from top of Cistern and the the rest of the stringers down and ready to lay deck.
A huge cistern. 10X20X10 inside.
Around 15,000 gallons if totally full.
I will still be catching rain water in it and using for garden and such.

Gonna put the 5/4 decking down with 3 inch glav ring shank gun nails.
Don't like the holes the screws put in the decking and I would never be able to adjust the screws Screws are more likely to split the ends when butt nailing.
after I coat the deck with traction paint for the wife unit.
Can always knock down a nail.

Today remove fire scorched siding from end of house and put up house wrap.
Hardi lap siding will be going up.
Have Gekko gauges so I can do it by myself.

If men only really understood that that "I do" really means....

On top of it all a guy was desperately trying to give me a horse and another wanted me to fix his lawnmower for him.

Evening Pharts. Hope all are doing well.
Haven't been on much due to work and trying to kick my shinyitus again. Been staying away from temptation. I've got 16 setups sitting by my computer as is and more shit in the drawers. I really don't need anything else. Don't really need half of these, but damn it, I like'em.

Work is going to be very busy the next 3 weeks. We started setup our largest convention of the year today. My like is going to be all Offshore Technology Conference.

Speaking of that, I have a vaping question for our meager number of participants. This thread is not known to discuss vaping or vaping equipment at any length, but I do not want to pose this question to a thread where I do not know the regular posters.

What mod do you currently own that has lasted you the longest?

No, I am not asking which one is prettiest or shaped the best or puts out the most power, etc., but how long has that mod lasted you without having to be repaired (or garbaged)? For example, a little over a year ago, I bought two Joytech eVIC VT mods on sale. One died after only three months. The other is still going OK, but the wattage readout varies so much throughout the day that I simply to not trust it to be my daily mod. I have also had three Cloupor mini mods, one of which died a horrible death after about a year, one lasted almost two years (it died last week) and one that is still operational, but has drawbacks such as you cannot set the wattage any lower than 7.0 (I'm a tootle puffer and often prefer to start a new wick at 4-5W). I also have a couple eLeaf iStick 30W and a 40W and have never had a problem with them. One of the 30W iSticks is now 4 years old and still functioning like new. My only fear of these is that they are internal non-replaceable batteries that, supposedly, will only last one year (then you toss the mod, but they are cheap). As I just said, however, I have one that has lasted 4 years so far, so I think I have to give my "best mod" vote to iStick 30W. So what is your longest-lasting mod?

Is that because a new one attracted your eye before you could make a long-lasting commitment to any of the others?
Good senario, indeed, although I actually have been using the same to 18650 dna40 squonkers for several years

Only partly cloudy with a stiff breeze, but I think we hit 74 today. I was too wiped out from yesterday's exertions to do anything outside, unfortunately, so I just sat at the kitchen table and stuffed capsules (milk thistle seed powder, dandelion root powder, and turmeric), so we're set for a few weeks.

Probably dried out a little, I assume?

The corrals are still very muddy and there is still a thin strip of snow in the dog yard (where that huge drift was), but everything else seems to be taking on a more solid/dry feeling.
About time, it will be Fall again before we know it

My small patch of grass hasn't even turned to seed yet....generally it's gets the first mow the first of March...NOT this year. Miniature grass with lil seeds, actually more weeds than grass, but neither are doing well.

Eleaf Pico 75 had for about 3 years or so. Also have a Sigeli 150w that I've had for about 3 or 4 years. The pico is still in use. The other is in a drawer. Just big and heavy.
