Pizza encore tonight. I always make enough dough for 4 pies, but they’re so loaded that we can only eat 2.

There’s a local award winning pizzeria (786 Degrees) that charges $19 each for a pizza with these toppings. Theirs is wood-fire, but these homemade are pretty darn close in flavor and crust quality. I make 4 of them for less than $20. That makes them taste even better.

Hey Bronze, I ran out of Huntsman this very weekend so I was forced to try my DIY blend. I am very pleased and its a very viable substitute! I'll miss HHV Huntsman, but thank you for helping me with the transition.

Hope things are good with you in these troubled times.

Great news!

Keep in mind that procuring nic solution is and likely will remain sketchy going forward. I recommend you stock up on it now. Store in quality glass bottles, sealed tight, in your freezer. Keep air, light, and heat away from it. There are online calculators to determine how much you need or do the math in your head. Glass Bottle Outlet is a good source for Boston Round bottles. Nic can last many years if stored as I described.

What flavor did you end up with?

Yeah I got a really large jug of Nic and I have it sealed in freezer. The place I got it from had excellent long term storage instructions on their site or linked to my order or something. Anyway I have lots of Nic, as you advised and I treat it as a precious commodity. The way I am mixing I'll use it quite slowly.

For my primary flavor I went with Cornell & Diehl Virginian. Its different than Huntsman but has some of the grassy notes I enjoy. I also sprinkle a touch of Vanilla in there, too, which I am pretty sure you suggested. I tried the without vanilla and with vanilla versions and the vanilla definitely helps smooth the overall vape flavor out.

Awwww! He relaxed hard today. He’s gonna need an extra good meal tonight to regain his strength. :D

He's a pain.. He went under the shed again yesterday. I saw him go under the truck so I went out the front door and cornered him there. He tried to run past me to get to the shed and I caught him. I did block the place he was going under it. I need to get that fence up to keep him in the yard. I think it'll work because Scruffy doesn't know he can climb or how high he can jump if he tries..

If he’s jumped onto your bed, you’d need a fence a good deal higher than that.

Tigg is 13 yrs old and almost never jumps, but he’s long-legged. We put up a child gate with the top at about 43” high. He wanted out so he stared and bobbed and stared and bobbed and poof! He was over the gate. Took him about 10 minutes to wreck our plan. We put something to block the bottom and raised the gate another 6 inches. He hasn’t been able to clear it. Now he just runs and smacks into it. :facepalm:

Get your nic in glass. It’s impervious. Plastic is not. Especially long term storage.

1-1/2 hours with a tech at my house and another 3-1/2 hours on the phone with the cable company yesterday to resolve my problem. I was exhausted. Never in my life have I experienced so much incompetence. I talked to no less than 5 people and got cut off from 4 of them. I had to puzzle together what I was learning from each to finally figure out what the problem was before I finally got a hold of a sweet girl who I walked thru the problem and solution. She did exactly what I asked and the problem was solved. I swapped cable boxes on Friday. Turns out the new box is not compatible with the cable package I have. I have what is called a Legacy plan left over from Time Warner before Spectrum bought them out. The newest boxes do not recognize those Legacy plans. Why could I figure that out but no one at Spectrum could? Unbelievable!

    I was physically worn out after that ordeal. Literally. I wanted to choke them so bad. I have a numb switch I turn on when things get too high or too low. It got tested yesterday. Thankfully that last young lady got it done for me.

    You have more patience than I do.

    Some days it makes you wonder....could the system really be that bad by chance or is someone messing with us? Glad its sorted for you, Excellency.

    I'll get some glass for my nic. You've steered me true so far; I'll follow your advice.

    Why could you get it and Spectrum could not? You cared about the outcome and Spectrum has a near monopoly. Is the cable a franchise granted by the city or county government? I would bet, if franchised by the local government, the politicians who signed the franchise agreement don't have similar problems, General.
