No, it was the previous rain that made it easy to dig. Today was mostly sunny (partly cloudy, pick one) and 66 degrees.
Wow, another nice day. Can only hope it stays that way.
Weather guessers claim it will, but you know that they never truly know shit...
Nitey nite.
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.

Whose? Yours?
So, given you live in Hawai'i, where's the honeymoon? The boring flat lands of Oklahoma or Nebraska?
Well 3:30 PM and nothing done on porch...
Had to go mow wife unit's friends grass then take wife unit to grocery to buy stuff to make some Funeral Potatoes for a church thing. Have to deliver the potatoes tomorrow...

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.

Unfortunately its mine.. we probably try out some Asian destination like Japan or Singapore.. its just farther away from home.. lol
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.

Give you a Horse?... sounds like an enemy,....
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?I never used the same one long enough to figure that out.....
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

with a big HELL NO!

I don't even want to think about it. Let me at least mow the lawn a couple times...
I forgot grass....it should be mowing time now, but it isn'tI don't even want to think about it. Let me at least mow the lawn a couple times...
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.
I think Crom has been mowing for a few weeks already, but even if mine gets the starter's gun right now, it'll be another couple weeks before first mowing.
Yeah mowed twice already...
Already tired of it

Yeah I remember him saying that....but the damn grass is growing like mad in the desert from all the rain, but not in yards.
Grass and weeds always grow best where you do not want them to.
I'll trade riding my mower once a week for the rest of my life if I never have to clear a path in snow ever again.Yeah mowed twice already...
Already tired of it
Indeed, growing like hell in the strike joints in my concrete driveway, lawn, not so much

This is the life buddy - we are super happy - this has been an excellent stay and we can't wait to get here full time
Well bedtime for this Bonzo

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.
That explains why I haven't seen much of you lately...at least as much as I've been on.
