Trying to distract me from the next half hour from calling in sick, because after that, I am not able to call in sick. Etc.

I am not sick.

Have to make money for the next house cause it's coming up sometime soon...........

Oh how I admire your optimism, LOL. I HOPE so I am so sick of moving. At least our current tenants aren't raising our rent or kicking us out. They said we are the best tenants they have ever had. We pay rent on time, the husband does the yeardowrk, etc.

Okay, now the next task is NOT to be late, gotta gg bathe. LOL.

My wife is leaving this morning to go visit my youngest at college. I won't go into detail but something bad happened over the weekend and she needs her mom.

I hope it's not health related and just boyfriend problems.

I did a Havana Primed/chocolate mix and small bottle of the Primed solo. Think I'm done for now til I figure out the other 2. One will just be an sft as Bronze suggested. I may get that done......or not.

Standalones I go 5-10%. The Supremes I’d start with 7. Light Fire 8-10. For mixing choco I’d go 2-4% on Havana. Choco doesn’t cover very much. Your aged burley I would treat like your Honduran. I forgot your 5th one.

Heat and alcohol extractions will extract some nicotine (unlike cold macerations). Not sure how much. You’d have to research that. But it’s enough that you should know so you can compensate in your blends.

Interesting. I don't remember reading that - not that I doubt you, it's a big thread and I didn't read it all. And it was quite a while back. I thought nic was negligible with both methods. I'll keep it in mind & look into it if I go that route.

I also gave the husband the happy ending upon my return.

Anna - love you to death, but sometimes struggle to follow your posts. I think that was the only line I really understood. Not sure why he complained after that.

Uh, happy Monday?

Hey I was reading on ELR and it said after mixing to cap the bottle and run it under hot water for 30 seconds. What is the purpose of that, a form of steeping?

Not sure how much effect 30 seconds would have, other than rinsing any spill off the bottle... but some, as mentioned, do use a longer "heat bath", some use an ultrasonic cleaner, and many of us just wait

I’m in the wait department. Just my opinion but I don’t want to heat my mixes

 

[FranC]

I want to mix some fruit with the Stixx Aged Burley but haven’t figured out what yet so maybe a mix for tomorrow along with the Latakia sft

I think these NETs are trying to multiply.I forgot I have the Light Fire to mix also.

Keep your NETs in separate locations.

Keep your NETs in separate locations.

LOL I would lose them. My mixes are all together and they are labeled and dated. The NETs have their own spot with the newest mixes in the back.

Good afternoon, all! Not going to try and catch up. I don’t have it in me to plow through ten pages today. Did I miss any recipes or advice I need?

@hittman , hope your wife is able to help your daughter work through this. Sending positive thoughts
