Random DIY mixing and More

[Koolkiz]

Good Sunday late afternoon. Worked yesterday and had a few hours sleep last night. I'm still tired. I had a strange smell sensation at work during the rehab meal It smelled like cigarettes and coffee.

I'm getting low on vg and pg. Any recommendations besides Amazon on gallons? I just want one of each.

Oh and a big like for all of you fine folks!

I know it’s going to be busy but would like to run my car to the car wash and get the salt and crud off of it. I discovered I’m missing a center cap off one of my wheels. I hit a chunk of ice or something the morning we got the snowstorm so am guessing it happened then. I found a place online to order one. The shipping was almost as much as the cap.

Go to Facebook marketplace and put your make and model centercap piece in the search. You never know.. I have found such randomness there.

I get my pg and vg from Bulk Apothecary.
I also get it from LNW.

Coffee for sure. Cigs no.

Thanks! Do they ever run sales or discount codes? I'll check them out.

 

[hittman]

Coffee for sure. Cigs no.

Perhaps someone had clothes on that smelled like smoke. I know now I can pick up that smell pretty easily if someone has been smoking.

I don't know about sales or discounts, You can also check LNW, they are about the same price.
Edit: In the past I've used the code "e-liquid Recipes" for 15% off with LNW, it may still work.

I've been pottering around on the terrace feeding plants. I think our wisteria needs a good dose of phosphorus....it's 10 years old now and big but has never flowered.

High 60's F today and all next week.....better than 10 years ago....

Extra P might help Charlie, but the secret to 'forcing' a Wisteria to bloom is prune..prune..prune. Plants in general only take up the nutrients they need...not what is provided...more will only go to waste.
Early spring and again mid winter is the prune times.
Seed grown, they can take anything from 5-15 yrs to flower. I've heard of a bonsai in a pot that took 20 yrs.
Grow it to how big you want it, and keep trimming it back to keep that shape.
When its just growing, it puts all its energy into growing...not flowering.
Also...don't trim into the hard wood....leave about 5 buds on.

Coffee for sure. Cigs no.

Makes you wonder what smelled like cigs to you.

That could be it too.

Haha cigs and hospitals bring back such fond memories.

Funny story (or annoying), my last race in motocross in 1996 involved a very theatrical crash at Daytona. It almost ended my fathering ability, and also put me in traction for 6 months. The moment I could walk again I wanted a cigarette.

I had to walk outside in a gown, holding everything in place with one hand, while pulling this rolling IV life line along with me. I get out to the edge of the entrance and fire up my favorite cancer stick.

Security came from every direction. I was informed I had to go to the edge of the parking lot to smoke. Uh, I feel safe here on the forum.... so you all know what I did.

It could of been the workers. Two of the staff last night are smokers. LOL its strange to begin "smelling" again.
@Skeebo I remember when people smoked "inside" hospitals. When I moved to Wi back in the early 90's nurses smoked inside the building on third shift. Yet, now vaping is chastised everywhere one goes.

Hoping more of your smell will return quickly. Been a long time already.

I did go to the car wash but just sprayed off the gunk. No drying or detailing. I came home and washed the inside with soap and water and put some leather conditioner on the seats. That’s good enough for now. I hate vacuuming the inside of the car so may wait until warm weather and have someone do it.

Bulk Apothecary is the only place I buy VG/PG from. I haven't seen any recent sales from them. There are no discount codes.

If you need them quick and you have a Tractor Supply out by you they sell USP PG by the gallon ($40). There are several folks on ECF who use PG from Tractor Supply for DIY. Walmart carries USP VG.

 

[hittman]

I can’t remember if I mentioned it but mixed three new to me recipes this morning and threw some soft baked cookie with some glazed strawberry just to get a feel for what the cookie tastes like. It’s one of the new ones I still haven’t put away.

 

[FranC]

Still got plenty from my last order to try.
