Didn't Rave say there was a stable on that property? Maybe a horse is in your future. But a horse is a money pit, for sure. Take it from one who knows. I just ordered more of Penny's medicine. Whine!

Yes, but it was garbage. I wouldn't put a horse in that. As much as I would like to have another horse, I don't see one in my future. I spent more money on my horse than I did on myself or on the fixer up house I bought years ago. That's why I don't have a horse now. I just can't afford the maintenance. Now maybe a goat to keep the lawn down so I don't have to mow. :D

I would but Cindy is sending me some and I'm currently using the rayon ball out of my Melatonin bottle and loving it. I also just got some Tencil if you want to try that. PM me if you do. I got 2 oz and it will probably last me a lifetime.

Cindy, I don't remember if you said you waned to try the tensil. PM me if you do.

No thanks, Terry. I'm happy with the rest of the 500 damn feet of beauty coil that I have! :grr: :laugh:

So tonight for dinner for the boys, I had to carve a rotisserie chicken and almost cried. Poor chicken. When it's in pieces, you don't really notice, but when it's whole like that, you realize how utterly defenseless this poor slaughtered animal was. Especially when I had to turn it on its side to get the leg quarters and wings.

Broke my heart...can you tell I don't do this much? I'm such a wimp.

Is there a similar animal that'll take care of the snow? :lol:

That 500' will probably last 450 yrs. :lol:
Somebody actually took the time to calculate it: 131! :lol:
But my coils seem to be lasting a lot longer now, so yeah, you might be right! :thumb: No joke!

I've just had to dilute my juice, because BAM it's way too strong now. I'm a flavor junky and I was getting nauseous! And buzzed! So with less junk in my juice, my coils will stay clean even longer now. :thumb:

I've been diluting my juice for my dripper with VG so I can vape without coughing. I've added so much VG that my nic level is probably down to half what I started with and it's still too harsh. I'll just keep adding VG until I stop coughing and next batch lower my nic level. I really like the way it brings out the sweet in my strawberry though. Yum!

Edit: I should add that I'm playing with the Tencil rayon right now.

Ha! If I have my way I'm going to have the whole house. :laugh:

And I hope you get it, really.

Nope, but there's a few that will color it for you and melt little holes. Just don't eat the yellow snow. Its' not lemon lime.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Terry, let me know how you like the Tencel. I have 4oz on back order at the moment, which is probably enough to do a few decades worth of wicks. My quick calculations for the roll of CottonCellulose I have is that it will produce between ten and fifteen THOUSAND wicks, depending on the coil diameter which makes the cost per wick a little over penny. Hope I don't run out.

I hope you do get that house. It really does look like a great place to spend a long life enjoying it.

Good idea, don't watch the "Money Pit", Terry. Awsum is just trying to rattle ya. :lol:

And you haven't been!? Pot calling the kettle black. Just sayin'. :lol:

Ha! If I have my way I'm going to have the whole house. :laugh:
Welllll, you could give Wuzz one of the loft rooms. A couple of days with those steep steps, and he'll be moving back to Florida. :laugh:

And if you got a snowmobile, you could plow your driveway with it, too!
My son wanted to get a new snowmobile when we first moved down here, but I told him that he'd get far too little snow for it to be useful here. Until last winter, :glare: that was the truth. We usually get a light snow and it's gone in a day or two. Maybe two or three times a winter we'll get a heavy snow, but it generally doesn't hold on long either. Now, around Chicagoland, he had a use for the snowmobile that he had (until he kilt it). Last winter I just ran my Jeep up and down the driveway a few times. I still had to wait for the country road to be plowed before I could get out.

Yes, but it was garbage. I wouldn't put a horse in that. As much as I would like to have another horse, I don't see one in my future. I spent more money on my horse than I did on myself or on the fixer up house I bought years ago. That's why I don't have a horse now. I just can't afford the maintenance. Now maybe a goat to keep the lawn down so I don't have to mow. :D
Or a few cows? But then, you'd have to fence the place. If you really don't want much of a lawn, simply don't mow the areas that you don't need to be clear. Nature will reclaim the land and it would grow back into forest in time. It'd be a thicket for awhile, but you'd have more wildlife and privacy. The only areas that I have mowed here are the septic field and the areas to the sides of the ramp up to the house first thing after winter. That just prevents trees from growing up there.

Today is a little cooler than yesterday, but I think it'll be warm enough to give Penny a bath, so I'll head out to the barn soon to do that, let her dry, then clip her more.

This morning, I worked at getting the clipper blade off the clippers and putting it back on after I brushed hair out from where it attaches. The blade didn't want to come loose easily, and I was afraid to pry too hard because I don't know what I'm doing, and I didn't want to be prying at the wrong thing and break the clippers, but finally I got brave, and the blade came loose. You'd think some little thing like this wouldn't scare me so, but I find as I get older, it does more than it used to. When I was young, I'd have just snapped the blade out, assuming I knew what I was doing. Now, I'm never sure I know what I'm doing with something new.

Terry, I hope to hear a positive update on the house you want. I'm still sending good-luck vibes.

It is supposed to be 87 degrees today so I got an early start. Hubby graciously stopped by the home depot and got me two gallons of white barn paint last night. Of course, it turned into an ordeal. They have 17 of them at the south store but couldn't find any of them so he ended up driving to the north store:)

I got one gallon of paint up on the fence so far plus the half gallon I got onto the fence yesterday afternoon. Most of the fence now has its first coat. The fence will need a second coat, darn it. I knew it would.

I am about to crack open that second gallon and get back to work before it gets too hot to continue.

Hey, Evie, good morning to you.

SandySu - let us know how that goes with Penny the Horse.

Terry - I'm hoping you get a good house even if it isn't this house:)

RAven, jer, awsum - Hi:)

Goats would be a good idea. Milk, meat, and lawnmowers.

Goats, cute and edible:) Actually, ours are pets. We would never eat them.

PIKACHU TO THE RESCUE! :wub:

This is a snow-eating animal-like robot that poops ice bricks for igloos!

Eek, just don't ask how much it costs...:shock: :laugh:

A wolf will eat snow, but it will also eat the grass-eating goat that you've got lined up! :lol:

Too funny, Cindycated.

Doesn't it ALWAYS need a second coat? :glare:

You've got a lot more ambition than I do today. Maybe more coffee ---->

Like I mentioned earlier the Tencil burned my throat so bad I had to dilute my DIY 18mg strawberry with lots of VG and it still didn't help. I'm using some 6mg Pair that Rave made for me and it's way better. No scorching my throat and the flavor is great. I'm going to make some lower nic strawberry and test with that. Both types of rayon seem to bring out everything, flavor and nic strength so I hope cutting down my nic will help. I didn't have this problem with the pill bottle rayon but I just received the cc rayon from Cindy, thanks Cindy, and I'll test with that to see if there is any difference. Cindy sent me enough for a few lifetimes. :laugh:
