WHAT Has Made You Smile Today? (II)

In my day, tripping involved LSD. You should take some before your procedure. That would be quite the trip.

Yeah, meant the same in my day as well. I’m a real light weight when it comes to drugs. Over the counter allergy meds usually knock me out. Any time anesthesia is involved, I’m likely to do/say some stupid stuff. When I had to have an impacted molar removed, I was put under and apparently I put my fist down my pants and started singing Tom Jones’ ā€œIt’s Not Unusualā€. Another time I started laughing at my doctor and called him Barney Rubble. There are more examples, but this is where the "trippin’ " comes from for me.

I’m thinking you might have been one of those guys that people tell stories about you for years. ā€œDo you remember when…? He was hilarious!ā€

If I ever hear that Tom Jones song again, I’m going to start cracking up. Everyone will wonder, what the hell is he laughing about?

Anytime I can spread laughter, even at my own expense, I consider that a win.

Steam Crave having a BOGO on my favorite RDTA plus they threw in a velocity deck and it got delivered today! About 12 days from China. Plus a glass extension kit. Now I have 4 of the same color, so I’m thinking that I may be a hoarder but BOGO and a free deck was too good to pass up :grin:

I can’t build on a velocity deck for the life of me. I tried the brunhild top coiler and failed. I’ll have to play around again. What diameter coils are yours? Looking good!

I’m still pretty bad at it too. I actually bought a few that I use just to practice building on. I keep trying both vertical and horizontal, trying to decide what works best for me (and trying different cotton too, since I’m still fairly new at it)

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts! I’ve been on the fence about getting it.

Using a stiffer wire like Kanthal, and make SURE, to limit the number of wraps, so as NOT to interfere with your ability in pulling the tails out of the bottom. Kanthal works great for me, strong, holds it’s shape, and I limit my wraps, so there’s plenty of room at the bottom.

My go to decks are postless or halfpipe type decks. Since I am snowed in today maybe I’ll practice :slight_smile:

Is that the only way you build them is vertical? I have one for my V3’s as well, I really just use the postless in that as well.

I’m probably 70% vertical 30% horizontal now.

I am going for a ā€œloopā€ test next week…
They are checking me for cancer otherwise. It’s the nice way of putting that test. Really it’s a needle where a girl really doesn’t want one. And they scrape the ā€œabnormalā€ cells out. No offense but I be tripping too. Last time I couldn’t handle it.
But I’m at significant risk for cancer if I don’t.
My bf said he’d go for a colonoscopy if I went…
Brave guy…
