    Morning, all, and, uh, happy Tuesday? ;)

    Thanks for the info (I knew someone would know) . . . . BTW: Don't really need to worry about Winter killing the battery around here - Now Summer heat is another story . . . AND - As for higher ground, that's not happening either - FL is flat . . . Anyway, :shock: $200.00 :shock: later mechanic replaced the 3 year old battery with an AC Delco . . . I NEED an inexpensive used SUV in good repair ;) . . . Just Sayin ' . . . :rolleyes:

    .

    Well, your are (supposedly) past hurricane season, when higher ground might be Colorado... :) Glad it was "only" a battery, and yes, excessive heat isn't good, either. Figure the battery itself was somewhere north of $100 of that, so nice mechanic!

    Same as yesterday. Whole lotta nothing.

    I, too, find it hard sometimes to get all of that done in one day :lol:

    First frost of the season, down to 30 last night, heading for, um, about 60? Scattered showers on the agenda. Light snow in the passes (not sticking on the roads) is giving local ski bums anticipatory thrills, although flying downhill on two little sticks has never enticed me.

    You should probably cancel that dentist's appointment at least, @hittman, just in case you're contagious.

    I'm sorry you're feeling crappy.

    I called yesterday and rescheduled the dentist appointment yesterday. It's just to get a filling replaced. Nothing urgent. They scheduled me for the end of December.

    Go home if you start feeling worse at work.

    I mixed 10mls SSA Grapefruit. As a shake n vape it is a grapefruit. I totally get the sour of a real grapefruit up front and then the light sweetness. At first I did 0.5% then added a couple drops to push it to 0.7%. That just made it a little more bolder.

    I then added 0.5% FA Strawberry. Wanted a more neutral strawberry that wasn't leaning to the sweet side and one with the green note. FA strawberry works well for both. Initially I was going to use FA Juicy Strawberry. I'm happy I didn't because that would have pushed what I am going for into something more sweet.

    As a S'n'V grapefruit and strawberry work really nicely together. I still get the sour of the grapefruit on the front-end. On the backside the strawberry added its very pleasing nectar like note to the lighter sweetness of the grapefruit.

    This combination, 0.7% SSA Grapefruit + 0.5% FA Strawberry, works well together. I am very pleased.

    Good morning. :) It was a nice 61 for our morning walk. It was misting out, that was very refreshing.

    Plans are to mix some ideas and to rewick a couple RBA's. I have my rewicking set so I don't have to do all at once. Staggered by a few days works nicely.

    Grapefruit and strawberry still sounds strange to me for a vape juice.

    Thinking I might get the brunhilde back in service this afternoon.

    It sounded strange to me when I was researching flavor pairings. The Flavor Bible has them as complimentary flavors. A few websites confirmed for me that they would work together.

    I am impressed with SSA grapefruit. They did a fine job with it.

    Maybe try a little 5ml and see what you think???

    I'm vaping some now. IMO, the balance between sweet and sour is one of the better ones. Keeping the grapefruit out front is key. I was surprised at how the strawberry and grapefruit sweeter notes blended. Together they make a flavor profile that I've never tasted before. It is refreshing.

    I'm not feeling worse. At least not yet. I am definitely feeling tired. I don't think I've had a good nights sleep in a week.

    Being a Raven fan, I sure enjoyed the games outcome. I doubt any Colts fan will agree with me, for an exciting game it was hard to beat. I think that Jackson showed he can compete with any of them.
    I used to be a Colt fan until Irsay took them to Indy, but those were the days of the great Johnny U.(showing my age).

    I agree with you. It was a good game. I think Jackson has proven he is right up there with any of the current top QB's. Easily in the top three or four of the younger QB's. I remember that middle of the night move the Colts made. As a young one I remember watching Unitas in the 60's with my dad. He was one of my dads favorite QB's.
