Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

What's worse than loadshedding? All the complaints about loadshedding!!! Everywhere you go someone has something to say about it and quite frankly I'm tired of all the negativity. Negativity breeds negativity. It's a never-ending cycle.

Yes, loadshedding is a pain. Yes, Eskom is a pain. Yes, the country is going to rack and ruin. But get over it!!! Continual complaints do nothing to help the situation.

Instead, next time there's loadshedding at night, sit outside in the dark; in the stillness and enjoy the peace. Look at the stars unobscured by street lights. Fall asleep on the bench with your dog sleeping next to you - and wake to find that the street lights are back on lol!

If you've got things to do at home, make a plan. If you don't have a generator, buy plenty of rechargeable lights. I've just ordered quite a few from Takealot. They can be recharged either via electricity beforehand or solar power.

Must have Internet? Stop complaining that there isn't any. I'm with Afrihost and my mobile modem has its own battery. Loadshedding, for example right now, doesn't affect my Internet at all, whether I'm on my laptop or phone.

Bottom line: Stop complaining. It is what it is. Get organised!
@Hooked, please come and have a chat to my mosquitos!

Today...halfway through the day my mod fell into a bucket of concrete,atty first and was completely covered.
I was so fast in getting it out and cleaned there was no time to take pictures.
I wiped it,removed the batts. Washed, yes literally washed the mod with water and a rag and ran the tank under the tap upside down to avoid the concrete washing down to the wicks.
Pics after washing

And vaped happily ever after.
Surprised this mod still works after that.
(And just last week I completely took it apart and cleaned it out.)

Great to hear you were able to save it, happy vaping and at least your tank isn’t “stoned”:D
 
If this tank wasn't a top airflow I think it would have been stoned.:hollering:

Finally it's happening..
House in Joburg is sold.. we are moving to a little village where we have bought an old settlers cottage,
we can spend some time renovating it, we are in the process of sorting out a solar system to use there as well as planning the
vegetable patch, what livestock to get and how to live as much as possible from the land.

Then you still have to wait 3-6 months because there's a delay in the licence cards department. And don't forget copies of your ID.
 
We don't really have glasses at work. So my colleague organized me a Brandy in bottle for my birthday. IMG_20200220_181012.jpgthe road is loooong, halfway through the 102km home.
