Oh wow! Talavera on sale. Wish I was closer. Good that I'm not. I love the birdbath and the toilet that is probably a gabillion bucks.
My wonderful neighbors (not) must have really stocked up on fireworks, they were at it again last night. I used to love fireworks, the pretty ones, not the noisy ones. Now I just dread it for the dogs. The booms were so loud even Lula tried to hide under the desk, and she's half deaf.
That must have been something for her to get under desk. How are you doing haven't charged in a while?
She tries. lol She fits under the desk a lot better than under the bed or under the Christmas tree.
Hahahaha oh Lulu!!! That's too cute.
Just got back from Oregon. Great trip but very hot. It was in the 100's and came home to 55F and fog. Lol. It felt weird to need a sweatshirt after shorts and t shirt only weather.
I always forget how much I love my bed, especially after camping.
Misswish - love bbqs!!! Wish I could join.
I love forth of July, but I always feel bad for the fur babies. They are such unhappy campers. TOH said they were tucked away under the covers. They're very happy now that mom's home.
I missed animals so much, I ended up stealing one for awhile. This is Gus.
Had no idea the 4th was so popular where I was. Huge parade and miles of booths with good food.
I even made friends with a butterfly.
Before the parade, I got to meet some of the participants. Received tons of kisses. It was great but still wished Pickles and Frank were with me.
Hope everyone is well!

I don't know if you guys have seen this recipe or not in the Castle Long clone recipe thread, but HeadInClouds (HIC) posted this recipe and I made it the other night. It is excellent. I've never tried Gentleman's Reserve, which is the pre-made juice he compares it to, but it's tasty!
I did substitute some of the flavors from FA to TFA or Inawera.
I copy/pasted the post from that thread:
Fans of Castle Long Reserve or Gentleman's Reserve might be interested in my latest recipe. It was not designed as a clone, but it's a remarkably similar flavor profile.
This is a balanced, complex blend of Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey and toasted macaroon. Jameson Black Barrel is generally described, "traditional notes of toasted wood, spice, and vanilla are enhanced by creamy, luscious touches of exotic fruit..." On inhale you get tongue-sweetness of spice as smooth whiskey builds. On exhale, whiskey blends with toasted nuts, then creamy vanilla and toasted nutty coconut. Succulent coconut is the final, lingering note. My recipe:
HIC's BLACK BARREL WHISKEY MAC
1% FA Oak Wood
1% FA Coconut
0.5% FA Whiskey
0.5% FA Brandy
0.5% FA Vanilla Bourbon
0.5% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Marzipan
0.5% FA Cardamom
0.5% TFA Brown Sugar
Mix it well and let it rest at least one day before you try it - to let Whiskey smooth out. No need to wait any longer than a day or two.
(NOTE: If you prefer very bold flavor, you can make this double strength, which also provides solid throat hit. I prefer milder, 5.5% total flavoring as written.)
This recipe is all about balance and contrast. The whiskey balances the macaroon; oak wood balances richness; creamy vanilla balances toasted coconut, exotic spice balances brown sugar, and so on. Playing with your voltage provides variations, and it's great over a wide range of vaping power (no flavor here will 'burn' if you crank it up a bit).
If you try it, I hope you'll leave a note here or on my blog to tell what you think of it. I'm certainly enjoying it.

Anyone tried Tetra Vapes flavors? There's a sale there for alcohol-free flavorings at $8/30ml. It's listed in the "Deals and Steals" thread.
Nevermind...it's not flavorings...it's regular ejuice...
