Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Well,I accomplished digging to the bottom of the tote boxes and all is put back now. I have also filled the smaller spot on my top shelf with a large Yankee Candle. Also tossed some junk I’ll never have a use for. At least I feel that I accomplished something.

Still have a foot of space on bottom shelf but it will probably have to wait for another inspiration.

I wouldn’t mind knowing what I’ve spent. Betting it would be less than most.

I'm not sure I want to know how much I spent. I prefer the saying "ignorance is bliss."

nic salts don’t really hit hard on the throat and lungs like freebase. At least that was my experience when I tried them.

I think if I vaped 50mg freebase I would definitely be choking, the nic salts are very smooth. There is no chain vaping with that strength unless you want to get sick.

Morning all you Merry Mixers!

My plans are to make another big pot of beef stew, so pretty soon I have to get to cutting and chopping.

I knew that.

It can be at times.

I just made 100 ml each of Castle Long Reserve and Honeycomb Cream Cake (with three good substitutions). They are in their hot water bath. That’s about all I’ve accomplished today. I’ve been working like a dog since Christmas though.

We spent some of my Lowe’s gift card yesterday on bird food and another pair of loppers. Son picked up a spike ball set at Target with his Christmas cash (my Dad was generous to the three kids this year) and I bought a 13.1 half marathon ornament for under $2. Their Christmas clearance was freaking gone. I normally pick up basics for next year at 90% off but it was all gone.

It’s in the mid 60s today. Window has been open for two days. Love this kind of winter as I despise cold weather. I think I’ll go finish sweeping the basement and the leaves off the driveway. I want to wash our cars this week...maybe this weekend after the New Year storms coming our way.

I’ve also been sorting puzzle pieces. I’ve started on the mass of green and it’s gonna be brutally hard. Like try each piece hard.

Linen closet will be done later...not in the mood especially with weather this nice.

I need to get more small boxes and organize my new flavors. My boxes are full, especially TFA. I really want to pare down my stash. Just too much and a lot of it in big bottles. I was excited to finally use my honeycomb flavor. Hopefully one day soon I can use up some of it to a more manageable amount.

We’ll be needing finished pics.

I'm not quite ready for any staining, but man.. I'm having a hard time making a choice exactly what I want to do. Tentatively planning on staining the legs and shelf frames with ebony minwax polyshades, and the shelf planks with Bombay mahogany minwax polyshades. The legs and shelves are all pine, and I'm considering doing the most simple thing and painting them.. I could do the "correct" method and use stain and poly seperately. The only thing I'm certain on is staining and finishing the birch desktop with my PETA approved "walrus" oil and wax. Kookookachoo. Probably overthinking this by a mile. I'll definitely post some pics when completed.

I’m making a roasted garlic and cracked pepper pork tenderloin and mashed taters and peas later.

Watching The Twilight Saga?

Oh.. blood..

Watching The Twilight Saga?

Oh.. blood..

I'd take drawing blood or any other unpleasant activity over watching those movies!

I have been keeping track of all of my vape costs for the last 3 years:
2018-$1018
2019-$1182
2020-$1298
Considering that when I quit in 2013, I was smoking 2 packs of camel wides a day,@ $7.00 a pack that works out to about $5,000 a year. Per my calculations that's a savings of about $11,500. Don't ask me what happened to the money I saved, but the math doesn't lie.

I was keeping up with my spending when I started stocking September 2019. I was right over $5k. Yes, in one year... I don’t do it any longer... But...for five years prior to that I bought nothing except VG and coils. I used one mod and one tank for five years with four main DIY recipes. I feel foolish for having an entire cabinet full of stuff now, when I really wanted to quit vaping right around the time I heard of the deeming. I stocked instead of quit. Oh well...at least I have it when I need it.

Will the drama at my house never end. Now the wife wants to return the new bed. She picked it but now says it’s too firm after having it over two weeks. I just nod, agree, and tell her to pick whatever she wants. I can sleep on just about anything.

I'm partial to The Strain when it comes to vampire stories.

From Guillermo del Toro.. that's got to be good. Another series to watch by myself
That has a capital N-O written all over it for my wife.
