Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Hi all!

First 2 days drive done, holed up in Eugene, OR. "Short" drive tomorrow, only 5 or 6 hours. (Yeah, after one at 11 1/2 due to lack of motels for 200 miles.... and today's about 10, short!)

Good weather so far, not too many bozos, and a noticeable diminution of semis on the interstate. Good for us travelers, not so good for biz.

Those are long drives between motels. Safe travels for the rest of your trip.

 

[DavidOck]

Yes, that they are! Of course, if I wanted to make it a 4 day drive, I could. But traveling alone, nah, it's the destination, not the journey.

 

[Uncle]

@Uncle hope you are healing from that fall.

Still sore; but improving . . . Keeping as inmobile as much as possible and wearing a knee brace when going out . . . Tylenol extra strength helps a lot . . . Thank you for the well wishes, that's very sweet of you . . .

Hate to leave you here with nothing going on and even farts not trending any more. There is one thing that's been on my mind a lot lately.

I’ve been wearing underwear for close to 70 years. One thing that never changed is that they have a label on the waistband at the back. It helps you avoid putting them on back to front.

The girls here probably don’t know that men’s underwear has an opening in the front. I won’t go into details of how it’s used but trust me it’s important.

Here’s the thing. The last time I bought underwear I got a brand I never had before. Fruit of the Loom. They don’t have a label at the back. No label at all in fact. But they do have something that looks exactly like a label on the waistband At The Front. You can imagine the confusion that causes, and how many times older guys have put their underwear on backwards, which means the opening is at the back where it really isn’t good for much.

I don’t know what FotL were thinking. My guess is these things were designed by a woman who was mad at her husband and wanted to make all men suffer.

Anyway, that’s all I have right now.

Maybe that's so you can use the opening for farts?

We've moved on to underwear.

Just checked, they still make the underwear with the back flap for men and women.

I'll pass. Looks like a total PIA to me.

Shhh! one of Joe's little secrets

Good morning mixers. On the topic of underwear, none of mine have tags on the back and I’ve never put them on backwards.

The boss is back today so I’ll be staying extra busy. Should have plenty of work for that.

More drama with my youngest daughter after my wife got home last night. There’s some test she has to take to get into the nursing program at college and couldn’t get registered online so finally got a counselor to help her but is quickly running out of time to meet the deadline.

Good Morning Mixers. Been so busy building a shed and chasing my puppy around that I ran completely out of sweet and bakery e-liquids. (Still swimming in NET extracts). Mixed up a few Monday, wanted to let them steep for a week, but probably won't happen.

good morning folks,
I have been to the forest with Øsa, thought she had crossed a small river, well, she had not, I then ended up on the wrong side, instead of walking around that would be a kilometer walk, I chose the shortest way.
We're home, I have coffee, vape, life is beautiful.

Always something. Hope she has time now.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

How about on or over your head, especially at a party when it's dark . . .

Or better yet - wore someone elses underware . . .

Nope, guess I missed that.

My plans today are to mix two sft’s. I am going to put this off as long as possible.

INW Marula the Next Day and Chapter

Last night I added some Marula to 10mls of ice cream base. Yesterday I mentioned going with 1%. After some thought, I decided to double my SFT percentage of 0.7%. So I added 1.4% Marula to IC base.

This morning before vaping any other flavor I vaped some of my initial Marula SFT. There was about 5mls left. I saved some because I wanted to know if the Marula fades over time. After one month there is no flavor fade.

New RDA + new wick for testing 1.4% Marula ice cream. Fran's IC Base total flavoring is at 8%.

The very same Marula flavor I taste in my SFT is right there along with the IC. It is the same tropical fruit flavor, turned up a notch, as I stated in my Marula SFT notes from a while back. Marula and IC Base are tasty together. I like it.

That tells me INW Marula is a highly concentrated flavor versus the flavors in IC Base (8%).

At 1.4% I do not get any banana taste from Marula at all. None, it's just not there. A nice juicy marula tropical fruit flavor is there.

INW Marula is a shake n vape fruit. As I said, I taste it in the IC the same as I do in my one month old SFT.

Here is what INW Marula is and is not. Marula is a fairly light tasting fruit. It is not a bold in-your-face type of fruit in the way a raspberry, an orange or lemon are. Marula is lighter than most light fruits.

INW Marula is not a flavor I would recommend for most mixers. At this point I might "almost" say it is a tricky flavor to work with.

After I post this I am going to head off to push INW Marula to 2.5% with IC Base.

Be back soon with results...

OK all you smart people, went to the gov site to check if my new car had any recalls - it's to early in the morning and I am at a loss - what does this mean:

0 Unrepaired Recalls associated with this VIN

No recalls, recalls have yet to be fixed, or all recalls have been fixed . . . .
