thank you @Skeebo for sharing that. Sounds absolutely wonderful. I've saved it, and although I have baked my share over the years, I've also gotten really lazy.
So, going back to what I said earlier, I'm happy to buy some from you.
But maybe, just maybe, I'll get motivated again and bake it myself. I'm just finding it really hard to get going, and it's worrying me.

It's not such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really.

Same could be said for Liberty City, Florida..... you always risked being seen in an episode of First 48 though.

Not such a good place for someone on the lam to hide, then.

 

[Zazie]

Just guessing, but we ordered some flavors (for adding to coffee) and they are weaker than our "vape flavors".

Yes, I would use less. But I'll probably just make some extract specially for the cake if I ever get around to making it.

 

[Zazie]

Your tree is charming, @DLKnives.

You're welcome man.

I hope I am just reading too much into the above statement, and that everything is okay.

I stocked up on my fav Ikenvape cartos.I still use one carto tank.

I’m betting the same. I never used the black ones.

Yep - Got a few of them (SS & Black) for the Carto Tanks I have and for the BB's too . . .

Hey, if you put it on top of a bunch of X-box games that tree can easily become a 7 footer.

Relay that info to the wifey.

I used this exact one in a facility where they had active covid. Up until now I have been covid free (at least the testing is telling me so). It is adjustable and has less fogging issues.

Clean and rewick my attys haha long postponed
4 RDA's, 2 RTA's and one sub ohm.
Got a brand new Berseker V2 mtl rta I've never tried before so might test it today.
Maybe mix a few liquids as well, I have a few concentrates I've never tried before like iced mint (mixmaster) or dry tobacco (Francos flavours). I'll get creative with small 30ml batches and see what happens.

I like it. It’s a lot of work getting our tree and ornaments out of the basement and setting everything up. Sometimes simple is better.

I haven’t received my SX mini from everzon yet. Looks like it’s been stuck in customs for five days.

I actually have work I need to get done. On a Sunday, which is unusual for me. Other than that, I need to mix up a quick batch of my usual guava e-liquid because I am out. I will also probably go for a run this afternoon.

How bout you?

Is that unusual?

Not to mention Horatio and his Sunglasses.

He can find you ANYWHERE in Miami.
