I got to snorkel with a whale shark on my birthday (16th)! Amazing little big guy!

My fishies came today! I got 12 tins each of smoked/olive oil, jalapeño, and garlic from American Tuna. Can't wait to try them. I've only had the regular tuna, but it's the best canned tuna I've ever had.

Just ate a can of jalapeño. A little disappointing due to light use of jalapeño, but I guess I'd rather have a can of fish than a can of peppers. The fish was first rate, and the cat approves also. She cleaned the tin.
I like can tuna but $15.55 /lb? Screw that. I'll stick with Aldi $1.68 /lb oil tuna. Last week I paid $6 /lb for fresh Ahi tuna at Sprouts.

Some of that I consider my donation to American enterprise. Aside from the higher quality, I'm helping my neighbors make a living, even if those neighbors are on the other side of the country. You have watch canned fish closely anymore. Some of it's starting to come from China, and I don't knowingly buy Chinese food.

Half way through the workday so far and one coworker brought me a home cooked lunch (steak and potatoes) and another came in my office and handed me a brownie she bought for me. All of this was completely out of the blue. I can't way to see what's in store for the rest of the day!

I walked into the lunch room and donuts were laid out on the free-for-all table. After making another trip to pick up my third one, the hottest chica in the office walks in and tells me good morning...and it's her day off. Pretty good start to the day all things considered.

There is now quite a bit of sugar on my office floor. Hopefully the roaches will come in and clean it up for me this weekend.

My atomizers didnt leak.these bastards are a tricky thing.
Yeah I seem to have bad luck with them. My current setup (eLeaf iStick 30W, Aspire Nautilius, 1.8/1.6 ohm atomizers) is my least leak-occurring one I've owned but if you set it on it's side for long enough, or it gets knocked over, it'll certainly leak. I've also had it leak when putting it back together but I have no idea where from. I think it was from the airflow holes. But anyway it's kind of annoying to always be concerned that it's standing up and never falls over. Can't just throw it in a jacket pocket and forget about it unless I want a juice coated pocket.

It might just be by design that they can't make them truly leak-proof. There needs to be airflow through the wick and airflow through vent holes and I think that'll always be a leak source, even if everything else is sealed. At least that's how I understand it.

i have 2 aspire zelos kits,and when i think i have it worked out they will leak again.Closing air holes when refilling and after opening them and have a few sharp inhales helps a bit.The leaking seems bloody random to me,dunno why.As you said though keeping them upright definitely helps

I made some oak leaves for xdecorations. Some of the orientations got clipped off, but you can't really tell when they're moving. I might fix it later, and add some more tree species. Default was all maples.
