Shits rough.

I’m so sorry.

Many of us know this feeling very personally and deeply. I’ve been there before and dread the day I’ll feel that way again.

Somehow animals pour out love that is seemingly endless. Each one is unique and irreplaceable, and it can take a long time before the memories are enough to bring your heart peace.

Thanks for the kind wishes. I’m doing my best to stay disciplined and within what my body tells me I can handle. Once this side heals I have to have the same things done to the other side, so I need to learn to live with it for a bit lol.

Tell us about a personal project, hobby, side thing, activity that you’ve been getting into lately.

I have been chomping at the bit while trying to stay patient and positive during my recovery period. PT is being slow about getting me in and my stir-craziness is starting to get the better of me. At the same time though I’m grateful that things are the way they are. I know there are many people worse off than I am and my heart goes out to them. Limitations suck.

I spent the last week slowly but surely cleaning up the back yard and removing/burning overgrown shrubs (WHY ARENT YOU YAUPON?!?!?!?) so that our dogs have more space to run and play and potty. The weather has been crappy and rainy which sucks for most things but worked out perfectly for burning brush. Silver lining, or something.

Besides that life has been pretty standard. I’ve been trying desperately to get back to reading my books but it seems like distractions continually pop up and prevent me from “getting in the zone” where all I want to do is bury myself in a book. This week’s priority is to do more reading, distraction be damned!

So the habit is thinking, “What am I going to do with this?” whenever I am considering buying something.

That’s a great tip!

The TLDR is that most carts are filled with oil, and oil is a wicking substance. It moves around.

If your cart stops working because it’s empty, over time whatever tiny remnants of oil are in the container can wick their way back into a place where the coil will vaporize them again. All of a sudden your dead vape will give you a couple hits if you’re lucky.

510 carts are great at flooding the wick/coil area with oil and clogging up too. There’s a million ways to reflow the oil to get them usable again but sometimes just forgetting about them somewhere gives them time to fix themselves. If you think it might be clogging you can try something like soaking it (in a sandwich bag or similar to prevent damage) in hot water.

Sometimes the position the cart is in will encourage oil to flow in or out of places.

Sometimes auto draw batteries cause chamber flooding if they don’t shut down promptly.

Sometimes the cart gets left somewhere warm and the oil goes anywhere but where it needs to be.

These devices are just prone to issues in my experience, but they aren’t that hard to troubleshoot.

In this case I think it’s more than self promotion and shit stirring. He knows the future of red bull after Max isn’t in a Formula 1 car, and that’s kind of his job to take care of.

Checo is doing Checo things, forever trying to replicate his last to first drive.

Danny is more of a supersub driver than a prospect driver at this point. It’s pitiful, but it is what it is.

Yuki shows flashes of brilliant driving but just can’t seem to impress anyone at Red Bull enough to be considered for the main team.

That leaves basically no one besides the academy drivers, and I think the point he’s making is it doesn’t make a lot of sense to tread water with ‘average’ drivers when you could be developing someone else with a higher ceiling.

Not a surprise but also not exactly the most desirable place to be at the moment. Hopefully they can turn it around and Pierre can do more than play bumper cars at the back.

I was fortunate to miss her first couple appearances on an F1 broadcast but apparently she’s now part of the F1TV crew occasionally, just like James Hinchcliffe.

She’s so out of touch with the sport that the questions and comments she make sound extremely awkward and out of place. I will literally mute the TV when she’s on, or fast forward if I’m watching a recording.

Give me more strategists in the comm box and F1 academy drivers joining the broadcast and I’ll be happy. Danica is like my F1 kryptonite.

War is truly terrible. No one should have to feel the pain the innocent victims of these conflicts feel.

I’m all for women in motorsports as long as those women aren’t Danica Patrick.

Please stop being a part of F1 Danica. Thank you.

An impressive distance to fall in such a short time.

I’d pay good money to know what Ted is thinking, and even more money to erase it from my memory forever.

Distillate can be sneaky in its potency. Enjoy the ride!

Just for the experience really, I’d read about the technique and it seemed like it might be a good fit for my tiny 2x2x4 so I’m giving it a go 🤷‍♂️

That’s awesome. Has it more or less gone how you’ve expected so far or have there been surprises?

Christian’s Horndog has entered the chat.

Looking great!

Apologies if you’ve addressed this elsewhere but what’s the motivation for mainlining? Are you experimenting or chasing something in particular?

Definitely has more beans.

I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.

Congratulations Charles!
