No problem, I did see someone recommend adding cinnamon to it I would advise against that the FT RF SC has a hint of cinnamon in it already and adding more makes cinnamon such a dominant flavor that you miss out on the DDL after three days and you end up with a cinnamon vape (think an atomic fireball or a bottle of Hot Damn) with hints of maple syrup
I made it yesterday just using the RF F. Toast and TFA Dulce. Both at 2%. I will let you know in about 2-3 weeks. Next time I am going to make it with the FT and TFA's Pralines and Cream.
Thanks again!

If you know an AC guy, they can buy the unit for much less than retail. $6200, ouch! It's not even my wallet and that hurt.
An A/C guy (company owner) is the best, by far, to have in your back pocket. I just got a central 3 ton unit with furnace for $2,500 for my daughter's house. Long time relationship with the owner whom I met 30+ years ago when he showed up on a Sunday to do a service call and charged me peanuts. I always used him after that and referred him to many people. When he retires I shall cry.

(RF) French toast, (VT) Vanilla cream, (FA) cinnamon ceylon (It's a nice mild cinnamon good with bakery... not like "red hots")
Be careful with that (FLV) cinnamon... it's super strong. (VT) Vanilla is the only one I have but I like it (both of the ones you mentioned sound fine) It's been awhile since I did this... don't remember the % used. I'll try to suggest a guideline anyway (later today)
Thanks Vaper, I do not have any VT anything. Probably have the FA Cinnamon though. No hurry in getting around to it.

Back when I worked at Lennox I could get a 3 ton for a little less than 1K which was at cost and that was many years ago, that's a heck of a deal.

    My next door neighbor got a deal like that. He knew a guy that worked for a mechanical contractor. He got the furnace and ac at cost and paid the guy 1k for installation and still came out at 3k in the end. Unfortunately I don't know anyone that I feel like I could ask for a favor like that. I'm not thrilled but at 5900 for both I feel like I'm getting a fair deal from a company that has been a customer at my work for a long time.

    $5,900 is not bad for an off the cuff price. Friend on mine on the west coast just paid over 10k.

    Yesterday they resurfaced the road by my house. Ground off the old surface and relaid it. But it ended up higher than it used to be. Now there's a step at the end of my driveway. Goes from 4" at one side to 8" at the other side. I'm going to call the guy who laid my driveway a few years ago to come out and level it back up.

    A few months ago we had a racoon in the attic. I called Critter Control. They put a one way door in the overhang where it was getting in. Then they came round and put a plywood wall under the overhang to keep it out. They said they would block it from inside the attic but I guess they changed their minds. The plywood wall they installed was right next to the blind end of a gutter that has a hole in the bottom. I was worried that water draining from the gutter would get behind the plywood and cause a problem. Nothing I could do because I didn't get that in writing. A couple of weeks ago we had some major rain and water was coming into a closet under where they put the plywood blocking. Today I have my roofer coming round to figure out what happened.

    And over the weekend one section of an ancient fence behind our swimming pool collapsed. I got it propped back up with 2X4's but it looks like crap. I'll have to get the whole fence replaced. I used to do my own fences but I'm 70 in a few months and I can't be bothered any more.

    Home ownership is hard work and expensive sometimes.

    I did dig out eight 120ml bottles. I'm going to mix extra of my regular flavors so I have 2 bottles of each. That way by the time I get into a bottle it will have been sitting for a month or two so it will be steeped. Might start on that today after the roofer has been round.

    ouch...yeah done that before and back when I was using coils (not mesh strips) I was using them teeny tiny itsy bitsy ones for the et dripper and them things hurt, they were small enough that they would ..... my fingers like a needle, one even broke off a sliver into my fingertip, man that sucker hurt

    ugggg, tbh I've not really been doing well...I've been stuck in isolation since march 15th...and don't get me wrong, being alone doesn't bother me really, and not being able to leave my house doesn't bother me really...but lately I'm fighting really hard not to shut down...on a normal day I am not social at all....but being isolated 3 months, I've been disconnecting from everything and then depression for a few days to where I don't want to do anything...and then anxiety kicks in because I know I will not handle it well when I do have to start getting back to work....I have several social phobias and hapnophobia (fear of being touched/it physically hurts to be touched, even if someone just accidently brushes up against me in passing), so I usually stay away from people anyways and already social distance myself when around others....but 3 months of not being around anyone at all, I know once this is over it's going to be very difficult....this is one reason I have always taken retail/csr type jobs, to force myself to be around people....as much as I don't like to admit it, this isolation has brought out a lot of my ptsd and agoraphobia and as I have autoimmune disorders, I can't go out like I normally would and try to push through them...
    between that and well my thyroid crashed and I've just been a zombie the past week, man my brain was in such a fog I couldn't even see straight, everything was blurry...
    as much as I hate counseling, I think once this is all done and over I will need to actually see a specialist before I can return to a somewhat normal life.

    Good afternoon Folks.

    Tested VT Sugarloaf Pineapple this morning. To me it is very much like a freshly cut slice of pineapple. That and INW Shisha Pineapple are my fav's.

    Also tried VT Passion Fruit & Mango. Also very good and tasty.

    I'm impressed with both.

    I don't think I have the INW but really like the Vt sugarloaf pineapple. I used it in a pineapple wafer recipe and it was really good at first but faded almost completely out after a month of so. It could have just been the other ingredients drowning it out. I'm not sure but it was really good the first couple weeks.

    I'm really sorry that sucks. Ugh, such a rotten situation, I hope the isolation ends soon. Having had it (I think) my test was negative but like 4 different docs dx me with it, you are doing the right thing. I had anemia so it hung around for ages... Anyway glad to be feeling better.

    DUDE, I have been busy! Offer guy from WV is sending me stuff to review, like policies and stuff so I am thinking that is a good sign. I know one of my references got sent something and she was last on the list so I bet they all got them. That's pretty much the main thing in credentialing but I have pleasant people in my life who wil do that. Fingerprints, meh. YOU KNOW if you have done something wrong, man. So I should be fine.

    Right now I am hold with the Douglas SSI office. They are indeed as blitheringly incompetent as they seem. It's been a long hold but I don't care. Sitting here trying to not do TOO much although after this it is Walmart. We have no food. Oy.
