Way back then in my youth, I was never interested in someone like Gordon. It was only later in my life that I discovered him. I was more of a Rock-n-Roller, even Van Morrison, I discovered too late to see a live show. Today I would love to have seen a lot of musicians who are no longer around, at least now there is Youtube. :|

yeah I am sure at the time I was bored silly by Gordon Lightfoot and probably Van Morrison (Unless he played Wild NIght or Gloria) I have a big love for him now.

Happy Sun day, mixers. Although that will be scarce around here, rain is back. Maybe some sun breaks today and tomorrow, soggy Tuesday in the offing.

Nothing new on the mixing front here. Still watching the last efforts age ;)

    I hate hazelnut with a passion. In food, drink, or anything. It is one of the few foods or flavorings I just cannot stand. And I have no idea why. Most people I know like hazelnut.
    Everyone can't be the same. :) Pretty sure you said that before. Sometimes my memory ain't too good. Can't even blame it on age cause I've never had a great memory.

    Hazelnut is one of my favorite flavors!
    Different strokes for different folks.
    I think there is a song in there!

    I don't like hazelnut, unless it's in Nutella.

    I am having quite a morning. The husband exited from our bedroom lair. He has been steadily escalating when it comes to my vaping. I don't really know what to do about it, honestly. I try using my air purifier, I try to keep the fan on, if I know he is waking up soon I will open a door but honestly? He is just escalating over the whole scene and it's very irritating. He came out screaming "I smoke outside." He demanded I stop, covertly in that statement, and that has NEVER been on the table. I just looked at him, like "You are poop on my shoe," and thinking, "Yeah, you SMOKE outside, you don't even have an insurance policy you don't even CARE what happens to ME if you die first and I lose your income which is not going to be pretty. For me."

    Anyway, I got up and started moving all my vape stuff to the bedroom. Then, in an attempt to move my filter which he had tied up with all this tape and saran wrap, I almost electrocuted myself (I was trying to cut it with scissors, which was probably unsmart. So then I had to turn off all the dang fuses in order to complete my task safely.

    In the meantime, the husband, who appeared befuddled as to what was going on, (it is fairly rare he like, wakes my inner Russian Maven Gene) got screamed at right back when he was demanding what I was doing. I know it was more like a general "what are you doing" and frankly, he deserves what he got, things like, "I am obtaining this chair, which I need." I don't have anyplace else to be, and quite frankly he can move his damn bed into the living room and live vape free for all I care, because, well, it's not really fair. The only thing I can do is like, uh, move to a room of containment and this is all there is. Perhaps I can sleep on the couch in here, or perhaps I will join him in his solitude.

    Then he came back in freaking out about the dog having fallen over and needing a vet . This is because he tried to freeze the wart off the dog yesterday and it's having trouble moving around. I would have helped normally but to be quite honest, the best thing I can do is sequester myself. The door is locked, and he can find a vet. If it doesn't happen in time (I must say the likelihood of finding a nearby emergency vet open is kind of low, they all like, uh, are closed. Mainly why the wart has been being treated at home.) I mean, I'm sorry.... I just looked at him silently and went, "Deal with it" mentally. I went in the bedroom and locked the door and I will exit when like, I need stuff.

    I'm sorry but I'm tired of it. This was never a deal, but it's a lot easier to be "outdoors-ish" in Tucson I guess, and this apartment is small and has too much stuff in it. It's fairly annoying although I suppose I am glad I did not electrocute myself. Also, he gets 10 hours of vape free-ness most days due to my work.

    I just... I can't deal with it. I really can't.`

    Well he found one. I am still like, sequestered in the bedroom. I'm glad the dog is not gonna die I guess.

    Time for some new mods?

    Maybe. I got a dozen Picos really cheap. Now one is dying after several years of daily use. If the rest last that long there will be some left after I'm gone. And I've got about the same number of Solos and Provaris, and various others in smaller numbers.

    Wife likes the Picos best. And we use them for vacations because you don't have to pack a charger.

    Interested in what you think of those.

    The caramel biscuit and grapefruit are definite winners. I think I need to mix the natural raspberry and blueberry each with a base. So far the natural raspberry more like a candy or jam raspberry to me with a little bit of a chalky texture to it. The strawberry milk is definitely good but needs more strawberry in my opinion.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    My plan is to put a recipe together for the WF Macadamian Nuts. I am quite impressed with the nut flavor. I also like it with the INW Biscuit I mixed it with. I may just add a fruit or two and go with that.

    I want to get started and maybe even finish a review today. My wife’s friend finished college but they didn’t have a graduation ceremony so they are having a drive by graduation where people put signs on the cars and drive by or around. I’m not sure. I think it’s silly but my wife wants to do it and if I don’t go then I’m in the dog house.

    Is the Natural Raspberry an SSA flavor or another brand?

    Yes, it’s ssa. I think it’s going to need another raspberry in a recipe to help it out.

    The raspberry syrup perhaps? Do you think they would combine well together?

    Great minds think alike. I’m wondering if they didn’t make two raspberry flavors on purpose to pair together. I haven’t tried the syrup yet but am thinking that I should do a two flavor test with them.

    I haven't tried it yet either, but very much looking forward to it. I also have a couple other raspberry flavors I have never tried such as TPA Sweet Raspberry. Would you say Sweet Raspberry tastes similar to the SSA Natural Raspberry?

    I’m going to mix this S’mores recipe sometime today. It sort of follows a recipe I found on ELR that follows DIYorDie dude’s recipe. I subbed and rounded %s.


    S’mores

    0.50% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA)
    1.00% Cookie (Purilum)
    2.00% double chocolate clear (TPA)
    4.00% Graham Cracker (Clear) (TPA)
    1.00% Marshmallow (DX) (TPA)
    1.00% Meringue (FA)
    0.50% Super Sweet (CAP)
    2.00% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA)

    Flavor total: 12%
    I hope you plan to report back on it when you've tried it.

    If I remember correctly, the tfa sweet is kind of a candy flavor too. It’s been a while since I’ve used it but don’t remember the tfa having the texture or mouth feel that the ssa does.

    Good afternoon mixers and mixettes :)
    Set 2 nets for some December fishing. Hopefully it will be worthwhile. I'm hoping for at least 10k lbs, anything will be a nice cushion to help me through the winter. I have some nuts squirreled away, but it would be nicer for a few more.
