@Butch , just thought you might like to know... I grew up 8 miles from a Air Force base. It was a big influence on my life (in so many ways) Was so lucky my friend's dad (retired army but had connections with the air force guys) I got private tours of B52's and C4 galaxies. My dad was army... wife's dad was navy. Happy Memorial Day (not just you Butch but to everyone)

It’s a baby tree… about 3 years old. It’ll fruit, it just can’t put enough energy into both growth and bearing, so you pick off the fruit that does set.
I grew one from seed last year, overwintered inside and growing on outside again this second year....only hope I can make it survive long enough for fruit bearing :)

That’s the one I like the most. The SSA duo is kind of bland to me, even % raised. I was pondering maybe adding vanilla or something to see if that fixed it. It reminds me of ice milk more than ice cream
Try something eggy like a custard or a heavy cream :)

Good morning folks,

I'm going down to ride a little on the spinning bike today, first for the year.
and then on the bench of the chiropractor.
I have an atty that was completely impossible to remove grape odor from, so now I will vape a few rounds with pg-vg-nic.
On the way home I will pick up a package

I was Army medic, never got close to a military plane, but did have plenty of experience with sore feet.

    Good morning. Four day work week sounds good but one would be better. I haven’t been mixing much having to try to focus on reviews as much as I can. Still have two on hand and four or five coming this week.

    It is completely beyond me how people pick up textures in a vape. Sometimes, when it comes to DIY, I feel like the little boy in "The Emperor's New Clothes," if he were divorced from reality instead of right.
    I know this is true for me. I can barely pick up the basics of a flavor. Never a nuance, or a 'this and that on the inhale" but "this is that on the exhale"

    When I was a kid, there were avocado, pomegranate and fig trees everywhere (empty lots, along creeks, ect) All up for grabs. Also, there was a (back then) some fancy houses that were built in almond orchards... they left some of the trees in the back yards... free almonds abound. Basically, so many fruit trees everywhere... oranges, lemons, cherries... many go to waste.
    same here. Southern California and every other house on your block had an avocado, Lemon, or Tangerine tree. Everyone had at least one Pomegranate tree on their block, not as prevalent as the others but still around. Also the little tiny orange things, the ones where you eat the skin and all. People behind us had a walnut tree.

    I'm not sure about "crunchy" but I do get differences in the inhaale and exhale in a recipe.... especially the more complex ones....top notes on the inhale and mid and base notes on the exhale :)

    Good morning in here! My work week is usually one day a week. However, its all I can handle and its enough to pay (help) with the bills. It pays for my healthcare now as well. I'm frugal not my choice but by need. :)

    I know I complain about work a lot but have a pretty good job at a good small company. I think I've just been here so long that I'm getting kind of burned out.

    I feel the same. I was thinking of adding vanilla too, which is sort of ironic considering these mixes are supposed to be vanilla ice cream.
    Yeah mine is very weak, I upped %'s but not holding out much hope for this mix. There are better recipes out there.

    :)
