I'm making this harder for you guys than it needs to be. Sorry. Wish I could edit the thread title. Okay, scratch what I said. I've changed plans and decided we'll hit the Virgin store on Times Square (sounds bigger) and the Apple store on 5th Ave between 58th and 59th streets. So, with the...

Thanks for the replies. :tu Since Apple has several NYC stores, I guess I should specify that we are heading to the one at 401 West 14th Street. I'm only doing that because the Virgin store is only a couple of blocks away on Broadway and we can hit them both. Okay, scratch what I said. I've...

Brother gorillas, anyone familiar with NYC know of a B&M or cigar-friendly bar near Union Square? I'm taking the train in this Saturday (10/4) with my son and we're gonna hit the Apple Store and the Virgin Records Mega Store plus get some lunch. I'm not familiar with the city and I'll just...

Excellent thread! When I get my Vinotemp, this thread will be my first stop for I'm sure that I would have forgotten everything that I've read here by then.:tu

Not sure. I wasn't that precise, I just eyeballed the bag size. I think it was 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons.

Yeah, it has the ordinary foam humidifier in the lid. Wasn't enough though and I didn't want to just lay the bag on the sticks or on the wood. I guess I could replace the foam with beads. I think there's even a small screen in it , I'll have to check. No magnet to hold it, velcro. You may be...

While I was at the grocery store tonight, I was looking for something to hold my scentless cat crystals in my humi. I bought a portable toothbrush holder and a cheap pair of knee-high stockings to use as a bag for the crystals. Well, the toothbrush holder was too long to fit straight in my 50...

I wonder how it plays out if you already have a life insurance plan (20 term) and then start smoking cigars years after the plan started. That is my case, only smoked cigars occationally while playing golf when I got the ins and just recently started enjoying cigars a couple times a week. Do...

I left State College in '81 just before my senior year. I played on the B-Ball team with Bruce Clark's (PSU football) younger brother. I still remember spending hours playing pick-up games in the old rec hall (by the lion statue). I think my skateboard wheels rolled on every inch of the...

Shilala, Great idea! I guess I need to make a trip to the fabric section in WalMart. :) BTW, I see that you're in DuBois. I went to HS in State College and I remember playing DuBois in Basketball.

The last pic of the salt mixture consistency.

Okay, I feel better now. Here are the results: I mixed the salt mixture as stated above in one of my wife's ramekins and put it in a tupperware container with the remote sensor. (see pics). It's been 24 hours and the RH has been either 73% or 74%. Which means I'm only 1-2% low. Why I think the...

Sounds good. Thanks.

I'll try that. All I've got in the house right now besides regular Iodized salt is Sea Salt. Do you think that will work?

First let me say that I love gadgets :). So, I got my first humidor (Cuban Crafters 50 ct.) w/analog hygrometer. I calibrated the hygrometer with the salt test like the instructions said to and after 2 days it read 79%. So, okay, it's reading 4% points high (if I did the test right). It's...
