Thought I would check in with a few words for the old timers and the newbies cruising
around for a good vape.
Winter is pretty much here now. No snow but back to our normal rains after the hottest, driest summer anybody can ever remember. Farm is tucked in better than ever with Kale, Chard and lettuce in the Hi Tunnel. Woodpile almost full. Temp in the 30s to 40s.
So I finally, after over three years from the bust, am getting my shop back together. After the raid the allure of my shop being a happy safe place went away for a long time. We just shoved some stuff here and there and kept sustaining. That worked in the right time but now it is get on with the good life. No, I don't get to be a busy bee making Zaps for a living but life is the book of changes. Ask Dave if the production scene is fun fun fun. No, it is work work work if you do it right like he does.
Anyway I am very happy to be out here in a different mode. A retired guy in his retirement season doing just what he wants to do, pretty much all day every day. This is my man cave. No TV but 3-4 bars on the laptop with all the doors closed. House is 80 yards away. I also have some cameras around.....on the driveway, in front of the house, in front of the shop and of course Wilma and her girls.I can monitor all those cameras from the shop. Wilma threw another heifer this year making three in a row.
I gotta say, the funnest part of my new life out here and in general is back to a clean record. I found the old Rick pretty quickly. The same guy but more opinionated and hopefully wiser. So I am still having the same fun as always. Dave passed on a few dogs over the last three years. We have several dogs barking now, including Sophie who has finally learned "speak" correctly. She is a sweet Golden with a very loud bark. Good thing she only recently learned it. If she would have showed it to all those coppers, she would not have made it. Hell, they threatened to kill her if her and their cool dog got into it in any way........."and he does not like other dogs!!!"
So life is good. Any leaners out there who are not sure about dogs, take it from old and feeble Zapman. Underdog is an excellent product with excellent service, all done by a couple of great people. Get them while they're barkin. The deals are great but the classic/top shelf are the kind.
Y'know, in this world the true craftsmen and innovators eventually could get an offer that is hard to refuse. Things can change. MJ is quasi legal now. Washington is another world folks, believe me. I have heard from a close friend. The big guys are moving in fast.
Get them now and during the holidays. A good vape makes life better. A good vape that barks is like anything that barks.......real nice to have around. OK, sure, there are exceptions. A barking woman comes to mind.......
Edited..........BTW, my sweet bride of 50 years has never been a barking woman. She is why I am still alive and still barking, being the happy dog I have always been. She wondered if I was referring to her in my original post........no way Jose.

but I'm at a loss with what I want to do with this...I'm sure something will come to me, but I'd still like to hear what type of designs you think would befit this wood 
... then I tried the nylon stem.. omg, it was awesome, although now I understand why people say it's like a one hitter.. after 1 hit with cloudy vapor, the herb gets really dark... Any tips on how to generate the most vapor from the direct glass stem?
