    Today I mow. It has rained almost every day and I haven’t cut it in three weeks so it will probably take all day. The drought killed the weeds and the incessant rain has made my grass very healthy. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
    Make sure to take some breaks.:)

    Morning, mixers.

    Another nice day here, gasp, two in a row!! At least the water won't evaporate between the hose and the ground.

    Good morning. I just put a Boston .... on the pellet smoker. Should be ready in 8-10 hours.

    Interesting censor going there, a Boston, uh, not baked beans?:hubba:

    Tropical Yogurt 4.1

    FW Yogurt 2%
    SSA Whipped Cream 1%
    WF Crumble Topping 0.5%
    FLV Sweet Mango 1%
    FLV Ripe Mango 0.5%
    CAP Fresh Pineapple 2%

    It's a very refreshing, smooth and tasty vape right off the mix. I test nearly every recipe after mixing so I know exactly how it develops over time.

    However, this mix will improve 100% over time (3-4 weeks, YMMV). With time it becomes creamier and all flavors gel.

    FW Yogurt is an excellent yogurt with no funky notes. SSA Whipped Cream adds to the overall yogurt profile I was after.

    WF Crumble Topping is being used here as a cookie over the top. It works well as a cookie and at lower percents for this type of thing.

    The Flavorah mangoes are IMHO the best, most flavorful and realistic mangoes out there. On their own they do not make a complete mango profile. The magic "happens" when combining the two. There are no subs for the Flavorah mangoes!!!

    Cap Fresh Pineapple is quickly becoming a favorite. It is a fresh ripe pineapple that is very tasty with no harsh notes.

    Don't let the percents fool you, this is a full flavored mix!!! The yogurt base sits behind the fruit in this mix. FLV flavors are ultra concentrated. The mango profile is out front along with the pineapple and each makes their presence known in the mix. Crumble Topping adds a flavorful cookie note.

    Overall it is nicely balanced. It took me a few rounds to get this where I was comfortable sharing it publicly. I tested this mix in a couple rda's and rta's, MTL to RDL, between 12w and 30w. It is just as tasty at 12w as it is at 30w.

    @Zazie can you please add this to your blog? Thank you!!!

    I’ve been thinking I wanted a fruit mix for something different. I’ll have to mix this one.

    Added some One on One flavors to my arsenal,
    Pie Crust
    Powdered Sugar
    Cream (Milky Undertone)(PG) - was hoping to find (R) as I figure it would be spicier, (NC-17) would probably be too much!
    Vanilla Variety Pack - mainly for Vanilla Custard Cheesecake, though the rest sound nice. Got VIC blend (I) and (II) - no (III) for me :(
    "Standard" Variety Pack - mainly for Corn Bread and Golden Sponge Cake

    Still have a ways to go to hit my "all of them" hard flavor cap.

    I don’t have fresh pineapple. I have golden, funky, and sugarloaf. Do you think one of those would work?

    So, I'm back in the city again, still bouncin' back and forth between here and up north. It's all good, I've always been a nomad.

    Last night I went to bed at 12am sharp, fell asleep quickly. I woke up at 2:15am, wide awake and raring to go. Something told me to go through more of my wife's things.

    Ohhhh man!!! I came across a smallish wrapped box with a label "My Dearest Husband". I did what any kid would do. I shook the box lightly, didn't hear anything. Set it aside for a bit and just looked at it.

    Something kept telling me, "open it you dumb azz". I did and I was not at all prepared for what I found.

    Inside are many notes and love letters she wrote, a music CD she mixed and a cassette of her telling me all sorts of things. And instructions!!! Yes, instructions. She told me to pop the CD in and only read one letter per song and only one song+letter per week. Ok.

    I popped the music CD in the player grabbed the letter marked #1 and hit play.

    Out comes one of our favorite songs by Richie Sambora called Falling From Graceland. The lyrics, whew, I mean, seriously.


    Oh crap! Well, that and her first letter had tears flowing. LOTS!!! Tears of Joy and tears of sadness. I never knew I could feel both emotions at the very same time accompanied by a warm tingly feeling all over my body. She told me "SMT you will need to be stronger than ever as my time here is short" along with much much more. And dang, I swore at 3am I could hear her voice speaking each word in my mind as I read this letter a few times while replaying that song.

    Who knew? The woman is still looking after me four years on. I mean, frankly I'm at a loss for words and I don't know that words alone could convey the feeling.

    Anyhow, I am very happy I found this wrapped box and its awesome contents. I am very much looking forward to whatever surprises she has in store for me next. She even wrote a couple notes for our other longtime lifelong amigo in life, my lady up north, and one for each daughter. I am amazed but shouldn't be cuz that's the kind of Woman she was.

    I'm sure she meant for me to find this box much sooner but honestly it is better this way. Time and Distance = the Wider Perspective. Those who know, know exactly what I'm saying with that.

    I mean, dang, what a Gift!!! I truly am blessed in Life, no doubt. :wub: :wub: :wub:
