Random DIY mixing and More

Morin' Randomness . . .

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

My plans are to try to stay awake. Woke at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep.

Almost the same as you - woke-up way to early for "Me" . . . However, NEED to stay awake for a little while . . . I have to go out this morning to get a couple of items before "ETA" shows up in the area . . . Hopefully, she just wants to say hello and go as quickly she came . . . Then will probably, try to keep busy, as I wait for any possible responses to my "Classies" . . . Really hope there is no loss of electricity . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Happy Saturday mixers....

And my quote of the day, 2% milk is 98% not milk. Think about that one a minute.

Your quote of the day is flawed..... it's okay though, it did make me rub my eyes and clean my glasses.

Saturday salutations, sleepy stirrers and shakers

Rain's backed off for a bit, so of course the temp has dropped some. Even so, just barely over freezing, so not bad. But the days of 50+ seem to be gone for now. Yeah, time for socks in the sandals, and long sleeve shirts

I thought you were up mighty early. I'm always up late night thanks to my work schedule.
Later today I'm going to mix some Stixx, just sfts of four flavors we just got, and try a few new recipes and other sfts.
Lemon Cream Wafer solo, Glazed Donut WF solo and in a mix with Joy FA, Zeppola, and Sweet Dough FLV, and also two different Blue Razz mixes.

Question for anyone: is it necessary to steep Stixx Mixx tobaccos for long? I'm just doing 4 10ml sfts for my wife and she doesn't go through liquid very fast so they will get at least a week's steep.

Good morning mixologists I just slept 10.5 hours . The husband had to wake me finally. My plans are: not much, other than I may email my doc and whatnot. That and yoga. But right now I am rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

I guess I did not know how EXHAUSTED and stressed I am. I ran out of Ambien, so I guess I am done tapering dear GOD. Oh well sometimes it is what it is. Just gotta get my motivation up.

I kinda don't want to think about the house for a couple days, I mean it is the weekend and etc.

I am very EXCITED thought and I would say less pissy but I don't know for certain yet, the am meds have not hit. Right?

I got three tanks cleaned out and am trying Fran’s creamy almond cookie recipe. It’s 2-3 weeks steeped. I keep picking up on something tart. I’ll have to go back and see what might be causing it. Maybe I didn’t get the rda cleaned out good enough.

 

[hittman]

Nothing in that recipe should be tart. Must be the black currant from before I washed it out.

 

[NolaMel]

Well - Right now - all I have is a couple of .05 ohm coils that came with the new Sceptre's I just got - send "Me" a PM with your info and I'll make sure they get to Ya' then - No Fee - Nor Trade NEEDED . . .

Now - If you have more 1.2 coils then you want and would like to get rid of them - let me know and I will purchase the .05 coils and have them sent to you - then you can send me those that you want to get rid of. . .




.

I’ll dig later. Just trying to catch up for the day before we start some house chores. Monday is hurricane debris pickup, so we gotta hustle lol. I *think* I ordered a box of 1.2 with my first sceptre, if I did, you’re welcome to them

Our boy Kai who passed away a couple of months ago was the same. At one point during his growth both ears were floppy and I figured they'd never stand up. Then this happened at 17 weeks:

Him being my first GSD, I thought maybe his ears were going to be disproportionate to his head. lol
But then at about 10 months of age:

He was a very tall GSD, 29 inches at his shoulders. This was my boy shortly before his sudden, unexpected death.

In the picture above he was waiting for my wife to get back from her business trip. She was gone for two weeks. She got back on Wednesday and he passed two days later. I still miss him so much.

It’s hard on the heart. Oldest has an app that picks a random photo/video every day. Friday was a video of Monk and my granddaughter laying together watching a video at Christmas. She was busy explaining it, and he was listening intently. He was so big, and her so small, she was snuggled in using him like a bolster pillow. It made my soul ache.

I am sorry @NolaMel . Some pets are so special. I have owned many cats, but I know the one that is gonna come running when I die is my first cat, who was mighty hunter and hit by a car. He was more than just a cat. He just really was. We kept him going at the Vets for a few days and he would not eat except when I came to see him when he would lick cat food off my fingers. He also had this look like, "I'm doing this for YOU." The vet was like, "That is highly unusual for a cat."

Yep, I know he will come find me. It's "my" heaven. It helps. I STILL miss him when they do those security questions like, "What was the name of your favorite pet?" type deal. ((Hugs.))

Good morning Fran.

Just watching some random news story on TV.

I will probably rewick a couple RBA's soon.

It's been unseasonably warm here over the last week. 70's each day. It's our Indian Summer.

 

[englishmick]

I've been painting the outside of the house, yard cleanup, and watching all kinds of junk on TV to avoid the news. Now that's in the rear view mirror, but I've got way behind with all vaping stuff. Only 2 setups left that don't need wicks or coils and several juice bottles that are almost empty. So now I'm going to dig up some bulbs that have to come inside and do some final touchup on the wall I'm currently painting. Then the rest of the weekend is free for vaping tasks.

We've had amazingly nice weather lately. Sunny and up in the 60's and 70's until middle of next week.

I got leaves picked up, mowed the yard, and cleaned leaves out of gutters. I’m not loving the creamy almond cookie. At least not in the rda I’m testing. I have two recipes I found online that I want to get mixed later.

I give mine a month but a week or two should be good with a small bottle.

 

[FranC]

It appears we have Indian Summer also. 70's last two days.

 

[mcduffy]

Dang, I got mine in Ohio. They sent an extra 15ml bottle of Honduran Ligero as a freebie. I think we ordered on the same day and both ordered 3 bottles.

Got four bottles of Stixx Mixx tobaccos I ordered here in Detroit today. The only extra they included was a bumper sticker. And I had to pay extra postage for the fourth bottle... Why don't they like me?

Don't feel bad. BCF sent me a sample of something with no label on it. I think they hate me...

There is no tart in that recipe. It’s sweet .

 

[stols001]

Don't feel bad, I got a bottle of "joy" as a gift for my first nic river purchase. At least it had not LEAKED all over the other flavors as happened to an early pal of her, who was finding ALL her juices tasted awful. People were like "That can't be and etc." and I was like YOU DO NOT KNOW JOY.

If ever a flavor were misnamed, it would be that. I have heard that in witches meetings under the full moon that if you add a drop of joy to the mix it improves it.

LOL I am not up for that. I still have the flavor.... Because I am a hoarder.

I got some stuff done, and well maybe not as much as I wanted but I had to explain to the HUSBAND that like, NO we were not going to deal with this whole propane ISSUE with them because he "feels bad." I was like dude, they LISTED it as a propane house (I have screenshots) it is in the OFFER letter. He did not want to ledge the offer letter with the bank, and I was like HELL TO THE NO, SEND IT. He did not seem to comprehend it was NOT our problem.

This is why you have a REAL ESTATE agent to deliver that bad news, but fortunately I am ruthless. I was like, "No dude we say sweetly, "We can't test the propane system and furnace and pipes, so if you stay on your illegal free gas. I SO get but the contract says, "All features must be in OPERATIONAL status at assessment, or basically it does NOT exist. Furthermore the contract states you can't change it BACK there can be no "material change to the home, other than normal wear tear." We have initiated the mortgage and they tend to ah, move as fast as they can so get ready."

After about a HALF hour of EXPLAINING where he went nuts he finally got it, and the said he like married me for my TOTAL ability to kick his rear at every game we have played. He was like "It made me want to marry you more." I was like, "Why because I can be smart, cunning, ruthless and EVIL? And the TEACH you those skills?" He said he doesn't tend to put himself FIRST.

I was like DOOD sorry we could buy a WHOLE other house by the time we sorted this out if they had their way. They are relative CHILDREN (the dude is like 20 years younger than the husband.) I was like, "Come on now, they are already getting to stay til Dec 28 because *I* had the forethought to go, "I don't want something to come up and you are moving instead of Christmas and if you want a last Christmas in your family home." I am not HEARTLESS. But, I also know what is LEGAL and what isn't. I will sweetly invite them to amend the contract and give it to the bank for review, but I will also note that banks tend to be pretty much like a bull at a gate when it comes to a loan.

I would kill for a real estate agent but I AM NOT PAYING FOR ONE. We already did the title and easement stuff and normally that takes, like, lawyers. NO ON THE PROPANE SORRY.

Also it has sat for several years my guess is it's gonna need repairs which NO HUSBAND we will NOT BE HELPING WITH.

He said he is too nice. I was like, "Well you aren't being nice TO ME you gotta not promise the guy anything he is BUTTERING you up. Nein, niet, no merci, de nada etc.

GRRR. Yoga APPROACHES. I feel alright. I have enough measly ambien to make it to Monday. Gotta check my Tuesday Schedule, I am seeing New DOC. I need to check all that out. Bah.

Here is hoping though.
