Don't know when I'll be back, or if... we'll see, time reveals all.
Meaning... coming back home versus moving up here. I may sell the house or rent it out, not sure yet. Thinking... thinking... thinking.

One more. Is it spicy? Might be something I’d like if no spice.
I like chai tea IRL but just couldn't do it in vape. Maybe the flavor I tried was just too strong on cloves (TFA) It was kinda like what happened with rootbeer (just couldn't get that flavor... both the RB and the clove out of my coils) In real life, I like spices... even more than most people, but not in vapes. But oddly, I like licorice in vape. Like they say, flavor is so subjective ;)

    Welp, my son (me) made a 92 on his (my) essay…the highest score in the class. Momma blew the curve! Poor kids! He made an A in literature. He starts back up Monday. Not much of a break.
    That’s great :)

    It's good to hear from you. I was 75% sure you had been eaten by a bear. I am glad I was wrong.
    For sure, there are plenty of bears up here. They always mind their own business. Bears are not fans of GSD's. There are wolf packs up here too but they are rarely seen. A neighbor, if you can call about a mile away a neighbor, got a cougar on one of his trail cams the other day. That was pretty cool to see.

    I always say mowing my yard will either kill me or keep me healthy. Yesterday when I mowed it was closer to killing me in that heat. I’m still not over it. And no self propel.

    Last time I mowed it almost finished me off. 3 hours at 90+ and I was beat for 2 days. Once I recovered I went to see the kid next door and now I don't have to mow any more. I do have self propel but the front tires lost all their tread. When I push the bar forward the wheels just spin.

    Glad you found a kid that wants to work.

    Sounds like there's still time for that.

    I'm very happy with how my for Random DIY science Fig Newton juice turned out.

    EssEmTee Fig Newton's

    JF Yellow Cake 2%
    FA Cookie 0.5%
    FA Milk 1%
    FA Fig 1.5%
    VTA Fig 0.5%
    TPA Brown Sugar 0.25%
    FA Blood Orange 0.5%

    Like the real cookie the fig sits behind the cookie base. IRL many FN recipes have brown sugar and orange as ingredients.

    My tastes disagree. I do not like the fig.

    Glad you found a kid that wants to work.

    This kid is cool. He's twelve and he's been doing lawns for a couple of years. He's being raised by his grandparents next door.

    His GF is a truck guy, works on his trucks every weekend. He just bought the kid a car, a classic 60's station wagon. Beautiful motor. He reckons he will have it completely restored by the time the kid is old enough to drive. The kid has to earn it by being responsible and doing well at school and so forth. Which I don't think will be any problem for him.

    Gotta love that. I bet the kid will love the car.

    I figured out a new trick. Recently cut way back on the number of setups I have going. Instead of cleaning the tanks and putting them back in the stash I put new coils and wicks in them and drop them in a separate tub. Since then when I'm in the mood I've been taking tanks out from the stash and coiling and wicking them. Got quite a lot in there now. It means if I want to fire up a new juice I just grab a prepped up tank from the box and fill it. Starting a new flavor used to be a pain, had to take a tank apart and clean it and put in a coil and wick, now it's easy as pie.
