Not being able to play Jungle Hunt well.

The TFV 4 is at our local post office, waiting to be picked up after they have their lunch.

The next larger town near us stays open all day... Colorado, I can't wait...

I'm now vaping from my new CUBE X II digital box mod, and TFV 4 tank mod. Wow. That's what I was referring to, in my last post. I only 'vape' Max VG (vegetable glycerin, 80%, or higher) e-liquids. It surely kicked my cigarette habit almost four years ago. Now, I'm down to 6 mg and 3 mg nicotine level 'ejuices' (I started at 26 mg! 50% propylene glycol, 50% vegetable glycerin).

Shenzhen, China - is where many of these products are made, @mikedt. They seem to have been pioneers in the vapor tech industries. I enjoy it - it takes the edge off of my day, and the flavors are spectacular. Breakfast cereal flavors, flavors taken from the candies no longer made in the USA... and, the e-liquids I purchase are made in the USA, Great Britain, or Germany.

Premium stuff. Plus, it costs about a third of what a cigarette habit would cost. The only problem is the initial investment for the wares that you use to 'vape'. A good, powerful box mod can cost up to $250 - and, the tank mods are around $40-50 USD. I'm not into rebuildable drip atomizers... they're sloppy, and too much nicotine going through the skin of your hands isn't healthy, either.

So, I vape tank atomizers. No muss, no fuss - just fill them up, and keep your Li-Ion 18650 batteries charged. My rant - why did it take four days for a US Priority Mail package to arrive where we live? It was ordered in New Jersey. Well, enough of me - have a good night, everyone. :)

Unless things have changed in small towns in unincorporated areas:
Our Postmaster shut down to help a lady having a panic attack about all the snakes sunning themselves on her patio. None were poisonous, but she was deathly afraid of snakes.

He'd flag me down if I drove by or went in. He needed change from a bank and couldn't leave the PO that long. We were both on the Fire District board, and had to be security cleared to hold office.

It looks like more of the same, when we get to Jefferson County, CO. In-between Morrison and Conifer. Red Rocks is a mere 15 minute ride from where our new place is going to be.

Concerts. I can dig that.

A 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin. Custom built, turnkey-style. On a lake! Covered porch, with fold-out windows and screens.

With a wrap-around deck, for my own concerts... and, a future large, barrel-style Jacuzzi. I grew up in Northern New England, so that lake may send my testes back to pre-pubescence (colder than a well digger's @$$). It'll be just like home - without the ocean.

Well, enough of me. Have a nice weekend.

Great to hear LW! [emoji106]

Glad to hear that things are going well for you!
 
Give it a bit more time, and he's disqualifying himself for this thread ;)

Lived in the next "town" just after Morrison.

They've changed the Red Rocks entrances. There's a school in one of them now on HWY 24.

People used to get in free by climbing over Mt. Morrison. Hikers gave us fits. They'd break a leg and if the Rescue crew didn't have enough people, they called out the Fire Department. Hauling a stretcher over scree studded with Prickly Pear cactus is no fun.
I sat in one.

Check out Dinosaur Ridge. The quarries in the area started the dinosaur wars between museums and diggers. That layer of earth is called Morrison Formation after the town.
It's applied all over the west. Some formations have different names depending on locale, but the Morrison is the Morrison all over in the four states of Colo. AZ, UT and NM.

Tiny Town on 285 is good. Some bigwig's kid couldn't travel, so the dude had copies made of famous buildings in miniature and put in a mini railroad.
 
Good to be back. Lawn is looking really nice... but the work involved nearly annihilated me, after our near miss by a Tropical depression and merging cold front, which brought eleven days of rain. We got some 40-45 knot winds for two of those days, but the right rear of our yard became a pond.

So, I hope everyone here is doing all right, but my rant of the day is Yardwork By People with Disabilities. I am completely worn-out, and the pain has been nearly more than I could bear.

All doctors want to do is write prescriptions for anything that ends with the word suffix 'codone'. The side effects of that kind of medicine on a guy who has kidney problems - and type 1 diabetes - means that the disadvantages outweigh any benefits. So, I ride the storm out.

I'm still here. No pity, please. All that I require is some positive energy from people like @zuben el genub, @bjacks12, @Kaat72, @Unforgiven, @scary alien, @ocnbrze, @PattiCakeUS, @Lordvincent 90, @kct1975, and all of the ground gear set who post here.

Thanks. ;)

Each and every day.
Even if it was just to justify your daily rant here :p

I do. This salon in Raleigh, NC - Salon 21 - did a superb job. Liz is happy, and that's what matters.

Her hair is naturally curly. To me, as youngster who also had curly locks - prior to my hairstyle change - hers is incredibly sexy. She looks like a million.

I actually spent less than I thought I would; so, we got her some salon-grade hair products. Her face was in an ethereal glow. I asked her why she seemed so thrilled (my ex-wife was a silver-spooned Southern Belle, who would've had no reaction)... she said, "No man in my life - ever - would've done this. If they did, they would've dropped me off, and they would've been late coming back to pick me up. I love you, baby. You even stayed, and were a part of it."

To be honest, I was inside the salon with the hair stylist, and Liz. Honestly, I felt honored to have been a part of the whole process - since it is usually the domain of the female gender.

My post about the bill at this 5-star salon was unnecessary. I will, in another six weeks, see that she has a follow-up appointment - for as many times as she likes.

The look of love upon her face was priceless.

I woke last night to the sound of thunder.
How far off, I lay'd and wondered...

Then I remembered I had half-assembled popups about to get wet. Closed one trailer up wet, fully opened the other. Now I can't get back to sleep.
 
Kidney issues last night. Worse, I awoke this morning to a rape scene on a film showing on one of the Showtime networks. Did insulin, and ate.

Waking to a gang-rape scene: not recommended. Seeing Liz's smiling, beautiful face - total wonderment. Then. a visitor from the Church of Latter Day Saints... grrrrrr...

Back to Liz's face - now, I feel better.

Good morning. Sheesh.

LW & Liz. ;)"

Last time I saw LDS missionaries was in Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, 2 years ago. We don't get them here, as proselytising might get you a lengthy jail sentence.

As a member of the LDS church who served as a missionary, you need only indicate that you're not interested and we don't return(of course, we didn't write every person's name down as it isn't logistically feasible, so you might get visited by another set of missionaries later on who have no idea you guys were already contacted).

Yeah, we don't go into the mainland at all. We do have several missionaries in Hong Kong and Taiwan though. I served in the Philippines myself.
