Random DIY mixing and More

[DaveP]

I have a pressure washer but I don’t think mine has that capability to use a tub. Mine has small bottles that it pulls from so I just used my pump sprayer. I have a one story with a full basement in the ground so mine isn’t too tall. I got covered with bleach solution yesterday. It looks fantastic! I’m finishing it today.

I made a master list of everything I’ve gotta do to this house. It’s 18 years old so it’s a big list. It’s just money. Can’t take it with you I guess.

My pressure washer came from Northern Tools, their 3000 psi house brand. It's worked well for many years of use once or twice a year around the house.

My suction port is built into the output of the pressure washer where you attach the hose and wand. It's just a port with a small tubing section that you drop into a bucket that contains the bleach and/or soap. If I'm not using the additive port I just screw a bolt into the tube so it doesn't suck air.

I believe Fran gave us the OK to do some minor cheating with previously used flavors

Question. I've noticed several mentions of graham cracker clear. I always just used the regular graham cracker. Is there some advantage to the clear version?

It's just the name. It's not actually clear but it's the fav of a lot of folks including me.

Mine is old but it may work. I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos so maybe I can figure it out. All the professionals use the bucket method.

Here is the recipe I settled on and I just made some. It smells fantastic! It’s taking a warm bath and I need to vape down a tank and dry burn/rewick before trying. This one may be a winner. Do not blog.


Caramel Cream Cannoli

2.00% Cannoli shell (WF)
3.00% Caramel Butter (WF)
4.00% French Vanilla Creme (TPA)
5.00% Marzipan (FA)

Flavor total: 14%

I’m glad I didn’t use almond as I read that is what marzipan is. I’m learning.

Raspberry Lavender Spritzer

1.00% Lavender (FA)
0.50% Lime (INAWERA)
2.00% Pink Champagne (FW)
0.75% Raspberry (Malina) (INAWERA)
1.50% Shisha Raspberry (INAWERA)
0.50% WS-23 30%

Might add sweetener to this, depending. All new to me except for the pink champagne and, of course, the WS-23.

Just tried my caramel cream cannoli. Very tasty. I think next time I’ll drop each flavor percentage down by one as 14% flavor is strong. That will make it 10%. I like this. Of course I made 100 ml so it’ll be a few days before I remake it with the lower percentages. It’s different and it has a unique flavor I’ve never tasted before. Me likey. One day I’ll do sfts so I know what I’m tasting. Yum!

I wouldn't dare make 100ml with no idea is I'd like it. You have faith.

So far I have only 2 I'm pretty sure will be winners.

It’s hard to go wrong with caramel butter. I haven’t used it in a recipe that I didn’t like yet.

Huh, that would be about 3 weeks for me, if I vaped only it!

Ah, but RJ can vape anything!

How could I forget that I should be so lucky.

I loaded a tank with the berry ice cream cone recipe I mixed a couple weeks ago. It’s decent but not quite good enough to post yet.

0.40% Basil (Flavorah)

I take it you haven't used basil before? I wonder how it vapes? I love basil when I buy it fresh I end up just chewing the leaves like a cow. But I must try so many flavors before I buy more. I am sort of glad I'm stocked up although steeping I am gonna have to get on it soon I think.

I used to make 100 ml new recipes but I had to halt the practice after I put my new margarita and gin and tonic mix in the same dang bottle by accident. There was NO salvage to be made had to pitch. Now it's never more than 30 ml, sometimes less the first time.

I woke up think... I can might be better? Then I hang out for an hour and take my temp, which was 99.9 it's SO DISPIRITING. I feel like if I could just HALT this fever, I would feel better. I took Tylenol last night I had to I was all ashiver and ashake but like if in a few days I don't get worse I am trying some Advil.

My 02 is hanging out at 96/97 but my PULSE? I normally have a resting pulse of like, 60 something (on Adderall even) but no it's hovering around 100 I was blaming the Albuterol but then I read a high pulse can be a symptom of the virus. Maybe I will reduce my Adderall it's not like I need to concentrate right now. I just, it's not bugging me or anything but shheeeesh. That is a high pulse if you ask me.

I am sorry for whining dude, but like I am SO TIRED just because it has gone on so long. I mean I'm super bored. I never get sick. Maybe I will try to do yoga just to see if I can precipitate me into some kind of heath crisis. I get dizzy though that's the thing.

I still don't think I will die, or even get supers sick although I almost wish I could, I have decided this virus is like slowly being pushed through a wood chipper. I mean, I am sure the end of your pinky is super unpleasant but when you get done with one arm, you are just like, "Oh God make it stop."

I don't think my symptoms are getting any worse but they are not getting any better, either. MFFFF.

I wonder if social distancing means it's cool to pee behind a bush on the road. It has to be safer than some of them gas station bathrooms I mean even in the BEST of times.

Safe travels to your DD @FranC !

Well, you are sounding at least a wee bit better. When did you say you get the results of the test?

 

[FranC]

I had a baggie ( medium ) full of 15ml bottles and have all but one in use. Not long ago I found my big stash of 15ml bottles but now they're hiding on me. I don't know how this can happen in my small room but it does.

 

[hittman]

I have been reusing my 10ml bottles but am probably overdue to get some new ones. I have a bag of 50 I got off of eBay but they are almost impossible to get the dropper tips On
