Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Morning, mixers.

Not much change in the weather here, although a tad cooler is the guess. Rain continues to be what comes out the end of a hose.



Maybe you'll get to deliver it to yourself this weekend?

I share your lack of rain but we're supposed to have some coming.

I'm celebrating a bit. The kid next door mowed my lawn for a couple of years but spring of last year he broke his hand on a school trip and had to take a break. Then his old riding mower died. Had to do my own mowing last year. This spring they got a new family mower so the kid inherited the old one and he's back in action. It's a complicated yard to mow because there are lots of trees and fences and rock gardens so it would cost a lot to use a lawn service. He does most of it with the mower and the rest with a weedeater. All I have to do is go round the day before and pick up the fallen wood.

Good news for me. The canadian smoke, heat and pollen are hard on my old bones.

Glad you got the kid back to do that.

I wasn't running on all cylinders yesterday. I needed to rewick a Lemo. It was almost full so I decided to suck out the juice back into the bottle. Got mixed up and put around 4 mls in the wrong bottle. Then I did a BB. Replaced the coil and wick. The new wick was juiced up good but I forgot to fill the tank. So I got several nice hits before the wick burned.

I certainly hope you're doing better today.

I did get 4 recipes written.

 

[FranC]

It appears I only wrote 3 recipes. I have since written 2 more so I have 5 now.

What are you folks doing today?

 

[FranC]

I'm going to try a lemonade recipe. I burnt out on lemon years ago. Trying again.

 

[FranC]

OK. Back to my recipes. Done talking to self.

I got done work early today and did errands on the way home.
Got showered, ate a little bit and now I'm catching up on forums and vaping.

I'm almost through one of those mixes that I've been avoiding since December. It is meh. It's the WARNing one that I mentioned last week.
I might have used the Inawera Raspberry (Malina) too high in there at 0.75% - it's about all I tasted and that really wasn't even strongly flavored vaping it.
I didn't get the apricot (FA @ 1.5%) or nectarine (TPA @ 3%) coming through at all. I guess they could have faded some in 6 months.

The only new WF that I picked up is the Ice Cream (Toffee). There were some others that I'm interested in but figured I'd wait a bit until I see some other folks impressions.

Good luck with your warning mix. Dump if too bad.

I got that Ice Cream (Toffee) also even though it sounds sweet. Haven't done anything with it yet.

Just wrote down SMT's Cannolli Mix/base down. I've decided to go with a light chocolate touch so the mix can come through better.

It's not that good, but it's not the worst thing ever.
Almost through it though,

Good for you.

I'm up to 8 recipes not counting SMT's. Giving up for today.

Happy to say the clouds kept our temp to 84 and we have a slight chance for a thunderstorm. Garden could use watering.

Ugh. Costco.

At least we only go every 4 - weeks these days.

LOL. I used to say the same thing about Sam's Club. These days dd is a member of Costco but doesn't go that much. Less than you.

Great for a lot of stuff, although not so much on the perishable items, for us, or things like their cheesecake. Just can't eat all of it before it goes bad. Just the 2 of us, mostly, so even the Costco size bag of spuds sometimes has some growth before we get to the bottom.

But non-perishable items, big savings. Went "executive" years back, and with the "rebates", haven't had to pay for membership since, and usually get some money back when we renew

Yes, when hubs and I went to Sam’s there was only two of us.

Nope. It's not an Amazon package and I talked to my supervisor about it today. It was misspent to the wrong place, but the bulk package placard on which the package was supposted to be on was scanning like it had been sent to the right po. It got sent back to Ft Worth and is on route to the correct po. I'll get it tomorrow, with or without toothpasre.
