Hey Huck, yea I flipped a bit, almost puked but on the bigger plane did a lot better....LOL
Hun, I would need to be k'oed as Mr.T in the a-team, no shit flew sober to boot camp it was the worst damned thing ever... from PDX to PHX circling due to thunder storms for 6 hours... in a seat not fit for a legless midget.
From PHX to CHI not as bad but NO Ac in summer, did not pass go did not collect 200 fuckits go directly to boot camp.
It was not that bad, it sucked pretty hard for me to remember it 20+ years later.

The flight home was in an aisle to myself until take off them they moved me to first class because I was in my dress blues and so scrunched up. Was to fucking drunk to enjoy it but my knees and hips enjoyed it.

Well my Christmas present to myself came in today, and so far i couldn't be happier. $28 with one of Joe's deals and at the same power it hits better than my kbox mini does and the ohms don't bounce around. Coming up from a single 18650 box tho it does feel awkward in the hands right now, but it's definitely not too big or too heavy. My Christmas present to myself since I'm 98% that poor kbox is dying, doesn't always fire anymore. uploadfromtaptalk1452015303160.jpg

Hey Mark. The wife went back to work for a few hours, so I think I'll try a Tim Hortons K-cup in the Keurig. Probably won't be as good as a cup from the Bunn.....but I think that I ONLY need a cup for right now. Time for me to go and check it out.

Coffee me pete. What a shitty day at work. Find out the 10,000 parts I ran on the injection molder are too big. They gave me the go no go gauge on the high side. Looks like I am running 10,000 more
That's not good. Every time I made a mistake like that they made me put it on a table, then hit it with a book. :(

Tim Hortons in the Keurig came out pretty good......but NOT as good as from the "real" coffee maker. That's OK.....Was definitely easier.....and a bit quicker for a cup. Funny thing though.....My wife bought me a 12 pack of these K-cups for a stocking stuffer. This is my FIRST one that I've had.......and there's already FIVE missing from the box:mad:. Thanks Hun!:rolleyes:

OK so we had a bit of a windfall.
Things were looking BLEAK and it was not just the damned weather.
Mom ended up winning enough to make a late xmas joyous.
So we got some much needed supplies and restocking stuff, some new jeans and shoes.
So for vape shit, she has a efest zipper case for her batteries, 3 new pee yellow lgs and wire coming to feed her subox and subtank.
Me I got wire, been out and keeping fingers crossed my coils hold out till then, a velocity and 4 25Rs.

So the hunting and shopping was frustrating at times.
The Best.
Famous footwear. Yeah yeah I know shoes, but when you wear 14 shit is tough to find. They did not have a ton of selection in store but the manager took her time to make me feel good and not like a freak in search of rocking horse shit. I cannot tell you the last time I spent 50 bucks on something I really did not want and fucking smiled as I shelled out money and to top it off left happier than a pig in shit.
She listened, we traded mall retail horror stories I was walking home in comfort 3 miles in new shoes. I was so impressed I wrote corporate praising this gal. THE one face to face retail experience that I did not feel enraged after being in.

The good
Lightning Vapes for a coiling kit, a few hundred feet of wire. Super fast super cheap will be hitting these folks up again. Order placed at 1am my time shipping notice in my inbox at 7am my time.

Li-ion wholesale. nuff said @Jon@LiionWholesale seems damned stand up and the prices are tough to beat with a bat. totally at the mercy of usps on this one.

The middle of the road.
Ecx for a grip of flavors. mainly coffee for her I got some ry4 and caramel to expand her vaping horizons. This one is a love hate they are either on the ball or behind the 8 ball.

Vapenw.. gunna say this... they have some good selections, good prices but can be a bit slow to ship... pay 5 bucks they do not have a juice for 6 bucks to get the free shipping and besides it is nothing I really want anyways.

The I damned near went postal as fuck, or the Milton "I'll burn this place down!"
For the non vape shit..
Walmart... holy fuck, stay away seriously I swear the cashier was fucking loaded or just functionally damaged. They have no middle ground of how fucked up the place is... it is either a grocery store with decent employees or it is a work release of the morlocks. The rural one I used to go pick up cash from kept the really fucked up people in the stock room.

JcPenny.. I can see why they are on the verge of closing.. This one has me so pissed off on how I was treated corporate is getting a damned ear full. no money spent, no money will be spent ever again there.. big and tall be damned I'll wear a fucking garbage bag and duct tape before I step a fucking foot in their store again. Shitty customer service would be better than zero customer service.
4 employees walked past and ignored me, 1 cashier that was slower than trying to freeze water with a blow torch, 1 greasy fat fuck that I think was very fucked up.
So I got greasy fat bastard to get someone to let me into the dressing room, he was across the store. Had to repeat myself 5 times for him to get it through his greasy mop.My rule of thumb on repeating is say it, growl it, fucking yell it like a Gunnery Sgt receiving recruits. 45 minutes and no one.
The cashier was still waiting on the same old bastards with the same 5 items, and a line of 15 people waiting as when I walked in. 45+ minutes on one transaction.
I found a non English speaker who shrugged her shoulder at me and waved in the vague direction of the dressing room. At this point my eye was twitching.
I find someone else and they shrugged and not saying a word walked away.
So at this point I could have shot flame out my ass and smoke out my ears I was enraged.
So I went with my three pairs of jeans and tried them on. Holy shit the dressing room had like 30 pairs of jeans in it. So I added to the pile with my three pair... and 4 end caps, 4 islands and two wall sections of clothing. Another 45 minutes of stripping every stitch of clothes in a 50' radius of the hidden dressing room... and not one employee to be seen. So I left.

payless shoes.. the fruity swisher flamer needs not be dealing with the public, the other close one is just as bad. Bought a pair of shoes walked out of the store and walked back in and returned them they hurt my feet so bad that going barefoot in snow would be better.

Super supplements... Fuck you, the space you took over, and the giant greasy fat bastards behind your counter. One was so loaded he could barely stand let alone open his eyes past a squint, the other was clueless... ya corporate is going to hear about that.

Longest I was ever at a job was 15 years. This one, I only started working there a couple months ago. I seriously need a new line of work, but I've never known anything else. Honestly? I'm a bit freaked out at the moment.
I am sorry to hear that, Huck. I do know what you mean though. The guy that's in charge of the distribution center has it OUT FOR ME.....and has for many years:mad:. He tried to "write me up" twice this year. 1st time was for having the flu, and going over my 5 sick days a year, by one day (even though I still had WEEKS of vacation time). The second time was when my wife and son were coming back from Florida (wife's Mom was in the hospital in REALLY bad shape). Wife's first plane got delayed 3 times, and connection was cancelled, so they had to spend the night @ the airport in N.C. . After all the BS that was going on with the flights, I had to make some calls to get them home ASAP, and had to pick them up @ the airport. The boss thought that I STILL should've come into work for the other half of the day, and TRIED to write me up for it (still had vacation time, but have to give 48 hrs. notice to use it). He finally got me for when I was having BRAKE problems with my car in October. I had receipts for the work that was done to my car....but he said that he felt that I DIDN'T make every ATTEMPT @ coming in that day......and I should've been there regardless.

I know that this is PROBABLY NOT the same stuff that you are having a bad feeling about.....but I get them JUST ABOUT every day too! Yup.....work is just great:rolleyes:.

Work. Last week was really super ultra crappy, then today, it just kinda went to shit. I'm diggin' a whole and only crawling out once a week.
I was given the task of bringing a tractor trailer back to the company's home base after a troubled young man hung himself in it. The truck ran fine for about a mile. It was towed to the nearest dealer for repair. Two days in a Chicago hotel in winter sucks. It ran fine for about 50 miles, then went dead again. This time in a tiny town where the sidewalks roll themselves up by 6 P.M. It was a new truck. Finely a truck hauler brought it where it was to go. So a week 1/2 later I got back. Some scary shit went thru my mind as I was driving that truck. I understand. I left parts out you don't need to know :cool:

I just adore you.
I have vowed this year to point out customer service short comings, how much douche bags with their cellphones are ruining society.
And to praise the right people.

Not to mention me and a total stranger berated and talked shit to the scumbag begging for money claiming to be a homeless Vet. 500 bucks of tin wear and a hidden 5 thousand dollar mountain bike does not a homeless veteran make.. besides he tossed the apple I gave him because it was not money. At least he was not in his wheel chair.

I think tomorrow I am going to make a sign saying Lying Scumbag con artist and stand behind him.

Honestly sounds like you need a lawyer. Possibly trying to get your to quit or trying to force you out so they are not on the hook.
15 years and only now they are fucking with you?

Something is fucky in @Huckleberried land.
If it is one person... then let the fuck fuck games begin. I am pro at fucking with people.
Go for broke.. the annoy-a-tron, liquid ass, and send shit.

Offer them Harbo sugar free gummy bears or leave them where they will pick them up and eat them. No need to get arrested for food tampering... they eat some then will be confused on why they are shitting themselves soulless.
