Random DIY mixing and More

It was a struggle but I got a $20 order placed at Gremberry. He only had one of the flavors on my wishlist. I use tfa sour in my menthol tobacco so grabbed a couple 30ml bottles for cheap.

You cut logs? Wow. But not a logger right they bring them and giant machines um, cut up the logs? I assume? Actually this is useful info for me I am sure I am going to like, run into one at some point and you will save me from TOTAL idiocy.

I will not ask the gory details because it sounds like YOU hate fire more than *I* hate fire, I mean I hate when my house burns down but otherwise, I can admit, I am a TOTAL pyro.

When the husband FINALLY let me at the weed burner and monitored my INSTANT high competence (you gotta do it right or you can have runaway fire especially under the conditions *I* was doing it at I was kinda shocked all the plants were not spontaneously combusting as it was it was that hot.)

The WHOLE time (and it was most exciting before I realized the husband got the "giant" one as he always does and lugging that propane tank around even with wheels, well, my body was gonna PAY it was EPIC. You had your burn zones. You had the hose to get up against the neighbor's yard because they didn't care about weeds) well after that half hour I was like, "I am going to pay for this."

Pay, indeed I did but it sort of got me ready to mix cement. I HATE CEMENT.

I did do more than half, more than the husband BOOM!!

But I am, like most pyros, careful with fire I mean it is POWERFUL and that is what makes it exciting and I shoot for happy exciting these days. I did a great job. I would do it again but I don't think they do it so much out here. IDK. I think the husband was mad I did not need his help, I was like "Cool okay these are the valves, this is FLAMETHROWER mode, this is the hose, okay got it leave. He says he watched for 45 minutes and was 'impressed."

I should note the husband set the house on fire not me, I would never set anything on fire non purposefully.

I don't think it's bad enough that I need to join a volunteer fire department though.;

To give you a short lesson. The trees are cut down in the woods, pulled out to a landing and cut into logs. A truck comes, loads them, and takes them to a sawmill. The sawmill puts then through a debarker and then they go to the saw rig to get cut into boards or posts or whatever,

I'm afraid the only flavor I'm interested is VTA which they don't sell.

I debating making an order myself. I have started using sweet cream quite a bit in some recipes and it's one of the flavors he had on the cheap.

When I placed my last BCF order I included Frozen Yogurt WF to try out.

Fran I desecrated one of my yogurt FW mixes with some RY4 and smoked butterscotch FLV. I did envision you taking a 2x4 to my head while doing it though.

I'm a big fan of the Fresh Cream.

LOL, too funny I got the Frozen Yogurt also but haven't tried it.

I did sft's of Blueberry Pomegranate, Blueberry Peach Pastry and Bananascotch. The pastry one is good, didn't like the Blue Pom and haven't tried the banana one yet.

89 degrees? That's sweater weather!

Yea, I don't get it. My wife calls them summer sweaters...

Just got the new Gremberry Farms "Weekly Flyer" about items on special from now until Thursday at midnight. It only shows 6 flavorings at the top of the page, but when you scroll down there's actually 10. This week's theme is "Sweet and Sour". There's FW and TFA Sweetener, TFA Sweet & Tart (A favorite of several friends with their fruity flavorings), several Sour flavorings, TFA Sweet Cream, and more in the Sale. His regular code GREMLIN also still works for an additional 5% off of those prices, too.

I found out that Rich has been having a pretty hard time staying afloat business-wise. Whatever money comes in goes right back out to pay his rent and utilities. He's had some amazing 25%-35% off deals on all FA, WF, MB, and LB flavorings lately. They may even still have the 25% off discount applied automatically in the Shopping Cart, but I didn't check it. The 5% off GREMLIN code wouldn't apply to them, too, though. However, he does have really reasonable S/H. I can usually order 8-10 30mL bottles and still only pay $4.50 S/H.

He still has almost a year on his lease, so he's trying to figure out what to do. He's thinking about just continuing on with TFA, CAP, and FW flavorings, as well as his own proprietary Gremlin flavorings...when the other brands sell out. There's just no way for him to keep trying to compete with BCF and River Supply and carrying so many brands.

So, if there's anything you need and you'd like to help out a really nice vendor...you may want to check out the Weekly Flyer, or any of those other flavoring brands. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

I don't quite get why flavorings need to be reduced. If he is already paying rent and utilities, wouldn't it make more sense to keep as much variety as possible. Or is it because he has to pay so much to the parent companies?

What kind? PUR?

That's funny. Only winter sweaters here.

Bananascotch and Blueberry Peach Pastry are PUR and Blueberry Pom is CAP.

 

[FranC]

Bananascotch and Blueberry Peach Pastry are PUR and Blueberry Pom is CAP.

Thanks.

Well they lied...it was much hotter than 89 degrees. Those weather people just guess I think. And change it every hour. Grass is done. Thank goodness. One thing I don’t miss about summer is cutting grass.

Being the banana lover that I am I eagerly await your thoughts on Bananascotch, I purchased some off the clearance shelf at River Supply. What % did you do your sft at?

Ya know, I leave Florida-- where I was quite the hurricane magnet, and move to Arkansas, and guess what? It looks like we'll catch the tail end of it. I apologize for bringing the hurricane your way. It won't be near as bad as what I have experienced in Florida though. That's a good thing.

We moved the day hurricane Andrew hit. That night when the storm hit the windows on the new house were opening and closing due to the wind. It was kind of freaky because even the knobs used to open them were spinning back and forth real fast.

I lived in Miami during Hurricane Andrew in my 20’s. I lived on Kendall Drive in an apartment near a Publix. Six month contract job. Andrew was rough! I was by myself and scared to death. All my doors were opening. Ended up in the bathroom with one candle I found. No power no water no AC afterwards. Looters everywhere. Two palm trees on my car. Barely missed the eye of the storm but I was on the edge and close enough. I always said for the six months I was down there, a hurricane, one of the worst, just happened to show up.

It is 3B Cheesecake. It was the only name I could think of.

Oh I like the name! I was just in the middle of a heat stroke and my brain wasn’t working.

I use to buy from Gremlin until they stopped carrying Flavorah flavors. I'm sorry I can't purchase anything from them. Nothing strikes my fancy/and or need at this time.
