Do I have to upgrade now, too?

My video and sound work fine. I do have a bad USB port though. The specs on Sheldon's new one sound really good! Hmm... NAH!

Bye bye, Mr. Volvo

It's been a good time, but toward the end, it got a little rocky. Time to go. Next step, find another car! It will be a few more years before I can get a cool car back, so for now, looking for something easy to work on and cheap.

What a week!

I'm not usually one to post bitches and gripes, this week has been so ridiculously dumb, I have the need to share this marvelous memory.
It started out last week. I found I had a hole on my pocket that I put my vaping mod in. Yes, I forgot about it twice during the day. Ended up with two broken tanks and a broken mod.
A few days later, I was talking to my son and he mentioned there was a big oil spot in the driveway where I park. I was at work and checked. Not only was there a couple quarts of oil under the car, but there was a trail of oil leading up to it! Blown gasket. Now I'm looking to scrap it and buy a beater.
Somewhere in there, I managed to do something to my neck and can't move it. It's giving me a major headache and I can't sleep.
Today, as I sat In a chair on our porch with my messed up neck, the back of the chair decided to give way and I ended up hanging upside down being jabbed by various broken, jagged pieces of chair. After making sure my kidneys were not still attached to the chair and helping me out of the death trap, my wife couldn't stop giggling. Gotta love her!

Glow in the dark Easter egg hunt

This is what an Easter egg hunt looks like at our house. Pitch black, glow in the dark eggs. We started this a few years ago and it has been a big hit with the kids.

Boom said the oil seal!

Well, evidently the Volvo is on it's last leg. I found a lake of oil under it yesterday. That with the transmission acting up, it's going to cost more than the car is worth. Selling for parts is my only option right now. Volvo's are great cars, unless they break down.

Vape stuff

Wow, just for reference, this is from 2013! I've accumulated much more since then. I stopped building and chasing "the best" about a year ago and now just go for convenience. I have a drawer full of old mods and random vaping items. This was probably about 6 months after starting to vape.

New vaping setup

I managed to break 2 tanks last Friday due to having a holy pocket and forgetting (twice). One was my very much loved Triton and the other was an old Kanger I had as a spare. I have dozens of other mods from drippers to the old genesis type to Kayfun rebuildables, but I have gotten tired of building over the years. I haven't changed up anything for a long time, so I figured it was time for a change. I Googled and found there was a vape shop 5 minutes from my house. Who would have thunk?

I went there with the intention of getting a VTC mini and a Triton 2. As fate would have it, they didn't have either of them. I looked around and ended up getting a Joyetech Cuboid and a Uwell Crown. Didn't see any reviews until after I brought them home and set them up. I can say, I'm pretty happy with them both. I upgraded the firmware for the Cuboid and it added some features, which was great. Right now I'm sporting the .5 ohm SS running TC at 400-420 F. 

I have never sub-ohm'ed because of battery life, so with the 2 batteries in the mod, it should last through the day, no problem. I dumped a couple dozen bottles of 12-18 nic bottles because I don't see myself going back to my standard 1.8 ohm at about 10-13 watts. I bought a bottle of 6 nic and that is too much. Bid difference! So, now I've started a quest for juice (again)!
