When we were digging post holes the other day, we hit a sprinkler line so I had the sprinkler guys come today and fix it. I tried them when I got home tonight and there’s a leak on the opposite side. Evidently we just grazed the side of the pipe when we dug the hole. So now I have to have them come back.

Good morning, hitt.:) Get all the posts in?
All but the one where we hit the sprinkler. The repair guys came today and fixed it but I tried the sprinklers tonight and evidently we scraped the side of the pipe on the opposite side of the house so now I have to have them come back.

Black Djinn by Drops - Review by Ben28


Black Djinn

Black Djinn by Drops , a brand whose liquids I loved and that I want to continue trying. This time they bring us a pure and simple tobacco, probably the purest I've tried so far. Thanks to Vapeo24 for making this review possible, you can visit their page and find out more about this liquid.

According to the manufacturer: Seduction in its purest form. Tobacco flavored with sweet and dry notes. With notable sensations and subtle nuances of vanilla and coconut.

Remember that this liquid is sold in an 8 and 16mL flavor concentrate format and must be mixed with base and nicotine according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Let's go for the smell test. I notice a very pure and strong smell, I know for sure that this liquid is going to be on the dry side. I notice the clear aroma of tobacco, accompanied by an alcoholic note, which I can swear is vanilla. I also perceive the aromas of nuts, specifically it reminds me of walnut shells (although the coconut could also be the culprit). As I said before, just from the aroma it gives off, I know that this is going to be a moderately dry and strong liquid.

Taste test, performed in an Oumier Wasp Nano RDA with handmade coils of 0.28Ω and at 47.5W. First, a warning that it is a liquid that has an impressive throat hit. After that small warning, let's start with the notes. On the inhale I can notice the tobacco base, again, it's a tobacco that hits very hard. In the mouth I notice the alcoholic note very pronounced, which I suppose is either vanilla or some other secret ingredient like Bourbon or Whiskey. On the exhale is where that characteristic flavor of the nuts is noticeable, again, somewhat bitter and they remind me more of what the shell is, so to speak, than anything else. I sincerely believe they are walnuts or almonds, due to the bitterness they provide.

In conclusion, I believe this liquid is not for everyone, not by a long shot. It is for a well-defined group, who love the potent flavors of tobacco, dry liquids, with a very good throat hit, and very powerful. If you are one of those, you have to try this liquid without fail.

Got some bad news this week. Indiana is a deep red state and they recently passed a MAGA style budget bill. The details are just starting to come out. It includes cuts to property tax and major cuts to all kinds of Grants. Our township of 300 houses is going to lose 40K from our annual budget. Town board says we can survive for another 2 years on our bank balance. After that we won't be able to meet our statutory obligations as a township and will be absorbed by Indianapolis.

Every township in Indiana is in the same hole, there are 578 of them. And townships don't have the right to impose their own property taxes to make up the difference. Shame because it would only take around $150 a year per house for us.

There's a glimmer of hope. The bill was thousands of pages and it was published at the last minute. The Pols weren't given time to read it or debate it. They voted for it without realising it would shut down all the townships in the State, and they are scrambling to find a fix. It would cost them way more than they would save by cutting the grants.
If nothing happens, will all 578 towns become part of Indianapolis?:blink:
