deejStuff Is Here!! (Part Three!)

[CES]

we had just the right amount of snow (get to leave work early, and to have a beer with friends while waiting for hte last of the snow to melt off the roads) ....hope you get just enough too Deej.

any anyone who wants more can have it. (I was in detroit as a kid and have ice skated to school, and have had icicles in my hair)

 

[Reddhott]

ohhhhh that would be great!!!!!!
any cranberry champaign yet

 

[Spud006]

I'd buy some caramel apple peanut butter. That sounds delicious.

 

[Poeia]

Deej and CES, we had 4 feet of the white stuff, one time. I'm not kidding either, I measured it. The Blizzard of '78, shut down the state for a week. Other than that storm, I have seen a few 2 foot storms and more 1 foot storms than I care to remember.

If we are going to have a "sooooo much snow" competition, I'll always win. We had to cancel my mother's funeral for the blizzard of February 2003.

 

[TravTech]

I like Ice Cube of Doom.

But I only know what approx 10% of them are about. (Old fogey, here.)

Most of them are about nothing really. Just took a username and ran with it. Only some are specifically requested content or subject wise.

To me coming up with a concept based on just a username or a little background info lets me be more creative vs say, someone requesting a dog throwing a hand grenade at a bunch of cats. The latter is so much more restricting but could still be fun. Most of them (especially the ones for me. TravTech or R0G3R!) are more about conveying a feeling, tone, or atmosphere than being "about" anything.

Some are even experiments made completely from scratch just to see if I could pull off a concept I had in my head. Oh and a few are based on whatever the theme was for weekly sig contests.

One of my favorites is probably also one of the least graphically appealing. There was a guy who's forum name was "ILoveOreos".

Not the prettiest thing I've ever made, but had much fun coming up with the concept. I still get a chuckle out of it.

Wow you all have been chatty
Hi everyone.
Everything went sideways on me today
Check engine light came on, car died
Darn alternator went out.

I guess it was jealous of the furnace

Another 426.00 out the door

Deej, do you have a welfare program no Joose for me next month
And it snows in AZ ??? It didn't when I lived there

I have a cleaning question?
For those that uses Vivi Nova tanks, How do you clean your coils?
I have always soaked them in alcohol and rinsed, dry burn, rinse again and air dry.
I noticed that I am getting a buildup. They last me anywhere from 3-5 weeks.
I have never had one really go out on me, just the wicks wear out.

I just want to see if there is a better way

 

[Spud006]

Hi Dolphins,
That sucks about the car. They always seem to break down at the worst times and right after you repair something else.

As for the vivi nova. I usually just rinse out the wicks when I'm cleaning the rest of the tank. Then I dry them with everything else and dry burn them in short spurts, maybe 5 seconds each push, then blow hard on them and repeat until they stop smoking and are glowing red. If they start to get caked really bad on top, I will dry burn and then put a small piece of yarn through the cutouts on top and run it gently back and forth a few times to loosen it up. Then dry burn a bit and blow the particles off.

Mine usually last 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer because I use four vivis, two mini and two full, at a time. Just like you the only reason I through them out is that the wick starts to fall apart or if they start to have a funky flavor.

Then I am on the right track. I run 2 full and 3 babies
I dry burn like that too but haven't done the yarn thing. That might help me. They only get caked toward the end of their life but I wanted to try to stretch them
Thanks Spud.

Good afternoon everybody!

I'm jealous CES I wish it would snow here. This poor state needs more moisture.

You and deej don't have any idea what you are wishing for! 8-o

I rinse them, do a dry burn, put them back together.

When you're in Phoenix... if you look north, you'll see some mountains.

I'm in 'em.

It snows.

Not a lot... but it snows.

I forgot you are in those mountains.
Have you been to Lake Havasu?
I used to go tubing there when I was younger.
It used to be a nice vacation spot. It probably still is

Now deej the first time that you had to shovel a driveway or dig your car out, you wouldn't like snow too much.
In fact because of the backache, you'd probably hate it!

 

[Digimon2k]

so... the bag labels...

Those came about because I couldn't find larger bottle labels (taller, actually) and many folks requested the Flavor be larger. That lead to moving the ingredients list to the outer bags.

I never did stop looking for different label stock.

I found some that look workable, but I'd like to get some feedback. So, the next 10 orders that come in that have the words "New labels" in the Order Comments will get double Rewards Points.

There's a couple catches.

(1) No 5ml bottles... 10ml and up, plastic only.
(2) You have to report your impression(s) of the new labels.

Once you've reported back, I'll double the RPs you got on the order.

Thanks Spud.

Your welcome. I only really used the yarn trick when I used juices that had something in them that really caked on the coils. I haven't had that problem with Deej's juices so far.

You and deej don't have any idea what you are wishing for! 8-o

The only reason I hate the snow is because it seems like no one can drive correctly in the stuff. Yet in Colorado we need the snow otherwise we get a massive fire season in the summer. I'll take snow that is an inconvenience to me over fires that destroy the beautiful mountains any day.

I landed at the Lake Havasu airport once to refuel. Taking off was fun. A 90* crosswind developed while I was on the ground... no biggie in and of itself, except shortly after wheels-up (about 30' above ground) I passed 2 buildings that acted like a funnel. The wind caught the tail and in less than a blink of an eye, I was no longer aimed down the runway... I was aimed at a hangar.

What fun!!

(yes, I quickly corrected... stayed over the runway... with a rapidly beating heart)

Now deej the first time that you had to shovel a driveway or dig your car out, you wouldn't like snow too much.

I gots me a big-a** blowtorch...

 

[dolphins35]

Sounds good Deej.
I am sure you will get 10 orders before the 3rd though

I think I am going to sign off. I have a killer headache and am going to lie down.
You all have a good night

 

[dolphins35]

You fly Deej? That's awesome. 2 of my Uncles do too.

Yes, I remember those cross winds. Scared the crap out of me every time I flew into Phoenix too.
They say, once your get into Az you can never leave
It took me 6 years
Have fun with your uhhhhh Blowtorch

 

[Spud006]
