Random DIY mixing and More

[englishmick]

Speaking of temperatures - we are pretty lucky in the US. Most homes or apartments have either central ac or window ones. Most of Europe and the UK don’t have ANY air conditioner. The news said something like only about 1% had air conditioning. People are just dropping dead from heat exhaustion in their homes.

Just horrible. Looks like the whole world is on fire right now.

About 10 years ago I saw TV news from London showing the first shop selling window A/C units. They cost 1000 pounds, maybe $1300. They didn't sell many the first day. They explained how they worked to one woman, she said, but if it blows cold air into the room doesn't that mean the pressure goes up inside. They are more common now though. My sister has several in her house.

In the north of england when I was growing up there were just a handful of days each summer when the temp got up into the 80's. Now it's regularly in the high 90's there. There were a few farms experimenting with grapes when I came to the US 30 years ago. Now grapes and wine production are a major industry. The rise in temperature has happened much faster in Europe than in the US. Guess that's why there are still so many climate change doubters over here. Maybe that will start to change now.

81 here (for tomorrow, that is).

Pretty awful for both of us.

Good morning. Still hot. I’m tempted to open the Hellbeast tank I got yesterday and try out the stock coils. I automatically put in the adapter with the nautilus on the first one.

 

[FranC]

We’re only getting up to 91 tomorrow so that will be my mowing day after work. After that we’re near 100 until next week.

ONLY 91??

 

[hittman]

ONLY 91??

Yep, coolest day until next week

[FranC]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today ?

 

[FranC]

Time for me to get some mixes out and pick one for my Dvarw.

 

[hittman]

That’s just awful.

Yes it is. We get hot summers but not usually this hot for this long. At least not that I remember.

I'm on my own tonight since the wife is leaving this morning to go help the youngest return the rental car. I know I've said it before but it's ridiculous how much they are charging for the car since she's 21. They don't look at driving record or anything. She's never had an accident that was her fault. Some idiot hit us in a parking lot when I was with her a few years ago but there was no fault on her part. We were sitting still and this person tried to go around us while we were stopped for someone going across a cross walk in front of a store.

I seldom mix this many flavors, but this one was well worth the effort.

For @Zazie. Could you list which company for each flavor.?

 

[Zazie]

Remember the toilet seat problems I was griping about back in May? (I'm sure you do--how could something that important fail to haunt you?) Well, this morning I used sheer brute force to rip the seat off the part that attached it to the toilet and then could twirl said part around to separate it from the bolt. That took an hour. Putting on the new seat took five minutes.

Thus concludes the great toilet adventure of 2022. Everything but the bowl and the tank has now been replaced.

I don't remember where i got this recipe from. I tweeked it based on flavors on hand and my likes/dislikes. I have no idea on a name for this. Lots of work but it turned out to be a 9.

Thanks, @dennism!

How about Cinnamon Cream Cookie for a name? Unimaginative, I know.

I, for one, have been anxiously awaiting the final episode of the Toilet Seat Chronicles.

Job well done!
