So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

[Sqrl Klr]

Went to work and drove four boat tours.  Came home and shoveled some poop out of the pick-up.  The plan is to take it slowly and move all four yards into our composters over the next few days.  Next weekend I’ll go back for another load.  With all this poop I’ll be able to expand my garden next year!

Crapola happens, especially at Sam's place!

It’s a good thing I didn’t call in sick today.  We’re short two rangers and someone else did call in today.  I was supposed to be the late patrol ranger but I spent the day working as a dock hand and driving boat tours.  After the last boat I got to close the park down, clean the restrooms, and close the out parcels and the beach.  On the drive home I was unfortunate enough to be the first responder to reach a traffic accident.  No one was badly injured fortunately.  Just bumps and bruises.  Sheriff’s deputies arrived while I was helping the driver who’s car was hit.  I stuck around until EMS arrived and then excused myself.

Now I’m sitting in my chair smoking my pipe and relaxing for the first time since I woke up today.

Mucked the alpaca shacka and planted some herbs today. After lunch we are going to plant the rest of our vegetables for the year.

And we are pretty much done on planting vegetables. Just waiting or some seedlings to "harden off" before we can plant them.

Hmmm.  I hear alpaca poop makes pretty good fertilizer.

I drove four boat tours and did “thong patrol” on the beach.  I babysat some JDs who were rough housing on the diving tower. And I answered about a thousand questions from beach goers.

Pretty good day.

Got the green bean beds desodded; fertilized and limed; and tilled just before the storms rolled in... Get them planted; and the worst of the garden stuff will be done-up until canning/freezing season; which won't be all that long!
Don't think I've shot my 350 for two weeks-and it seems like forever

Went to the campground and brought the camper home. Hooked up, dumped tanks and towed it to the house.

You can use alpaca, goat, and sheep poop directly in place of soil or mulch, it works as both. Grass and weeds start growing in it almost immediately. After our garden and growing soil have been properly remediated I plan on selling our excess manure to locals. We also have chickens, but their manure needs to be aged/composted before you can use it, like cow or horse manure.

Didn't go home for lunch today because a I had to make a trip to the bank. I needed to put enough money into an account to pay off the Titan. Monday I will call and raise the daily limit amount to cover the payment. The limit raise is good for one day then it will automatically drop back down.
Then I went to McD's and had a fish sandwich. The a stop at the liquor/vape store to grab some vape juice. I've been trying out different flavors to find what I like. I think I've settled on a half and half blend of Melon and Crisp Menthol. Both at 6mg. I have the SMOK Nord X set at 10w and I get a nice cool thick plume. I'll do this for a couple bottles then drop to 3mg and finally 0mg.
I don't think I'll completely quit because I do enjoy the cool fresh flavor and part of the addiction for me was just having that smoke in my hand after meals and with adult beverages.

Yep, I get that. I have smoked cigarettes for so long that I'm sure I will need something to get me past those urges and cravings. It's hard to believe that Sunday will be 2 weeks cold turkey after more than 50 years of smoking.
say what you will about vaping being just as bad but let me say this... I can breathe, I have more energy and I feel better than I have in years.
Nope, it's not like a miracle... I know I have done serious irreversible damage but like I said, I feel alot better.
Heck, I'm even sleeping better. I was getting up 3 or 4 times a night. Sometimes even lighting up. Now I get up once a night to drain the dragon and that's most likely a result of the BP meds. And the best part... no more hacking up that nasty lung butter.

As long as you feel better then its working.

I used to do mech mods and remember when boxes that wattage was a newer device.

Around the time I turned 30 I could not make it through a full night's sleep without getting up to drain the fluids, and I don't take any meds. In the winter I don't mind since I can reload the stoves if it's a cold night, but it's not something I enjoy!

I vaped for a few years from 2014-2016 and was really into mods and had a few unregulated boxes. The regulated wattage boxes were the big thing when I slowly got out of the habit. More or less I moved away from everyone I knew that vaped and lived with smokers. Now that we are making our own cigarettes we don't cough nearly as much as we did when smoking store bought smokes, but I'd like to quit again. My wife and I both quit from 2019-2021, but the stresses of the pandemic made my wife really want to smoke again. My "compromise" was to only do hand made smokes. They are basically like American Spirit smokes, but don't taste like dirt. I use tubes with filters and pack them myself rather than rolling. We get "fancy" tubes with carbon or extra long filters. The current batch aren't carbon filters, because Amazon was out, but I got some 25mm filtered tubes from the same brand. Both are much better than the "Cartel" brand hemp based filters we were getting at first.

We rolled our own for the past 8 or 10 years with the little electric machine, long grain tobacco and filtered tubes. This was better  than store bought for a long time... definitely cheaper. But lately we have been hacking up all manners of crud and corruption. Vaping has all but eliminated that. I like the cool menthol along with a melon or citrus flavored after taste. Once I retire I'm not opposed to trying some forms of CBD to see if it will reduce the aches and pains from years of abusing my body and the affects of getting old. Right now it's not worth taking the chance of testing positive and losing my job this close to the end.
I've spoken to many folks in the industry. Any beneficial type/amount of CBD will show up in a screening. There are types of CBD that do not show up but the benefits are minimal and not worth it to me at this point.

The CBD should help, but I don't blame you for waiting. You don't have to vape it though, gummies, tinctures, or other oral routes are just fine. I got some locally made CBD hand soap and I want to say it helped our hand pain, but nobody can seem to agree if it can absorb through skin or not. To me it was nice soap either way and I like supporting locals. Possibly CBD vape would "kick in" faster, but I find that eating it has a better effect for body pain than vaping. Sometimes I add some CBD oil to my coffee, put it in waffle mix, make cake, or even bread. Lots of ways to "skin that cat".

[avator]

All good ways of getting it in there but it will still show up in screening. That's my only fear right now... too close to retirement to go out like that.

Bill if you can find a flavor called Poseidon from Cyclops Vapor you will love it if you like Mellon flavors.
