    Somewhere between here and there
    The wife said she was up well into the morning. We had 3-4 inches of rain in the last day and a half and after I went to bed the sump pump was running every 2-3 minutes. She went out and moved the drain line and stayed up until she was sure it was ok. She should have just woken me.

    Sounds like she needed her morning sleep.

    Don't you ever take cold showers?

    Cold showers are wonderful and good for our bodies, I do 2-3 every week.

    "Cold Showers Are Exfoliating – Cold water has been found to increase blood flow to your skin, thus providing an excellent exfoliating experience. This means that your pores are being exposed to more dead skin cells, which results in cleaner, smoother skin."

    @rosesense , here is a peek at the chocolate testers for SOD that I mixed the other day.
    Quite the range of color!

    (Not sure why a couple seem to have less, perhaps variations in bottle bottom thickness)
    Wow! The one in the middle looks like the later version of it and the darker one next to it looks like v1.

    My final tester for MaMaMaMa23 is Creamy Pango V2.0, a mix that may enjoy a slight advantage as I have tested a previous version and made adjustments.

    I ended up doing the majority of this test using the Fat Rabbit Solo rta.

    For my testing of the first version of this mix, I tasted mostly peach up front with the mango lurking in the background while the cream and Milk & Honey supported nicely and also added body to the mix.
    I liked it, but there was some dryness to it which I thought to combat by reducing the Creamy Vanilla a little and adding in a bit of FA Apricot for this version.*

    This tester seemed to change focus a bit through the course of my testing.
    At the start, I got more of the creaminess up front with the Milk & Honey asserting itself, then giving way to the peach with mango notes entwined within it, but a bit shy.
    It did work nicely for me though.

    Midway through my tester, it seemed that the creamy start subsided a bit and the fruits picked up their intensity, still peach dominant, while the M&H note increased a bit more at the end.

    Nearing the end of my testing, I noticed the M&H more involved throughout the vape, its darker notes blending harmoniously with the fruits for a tasty effect.

    I can't say that I noticed the apricot specifically as it would probably have been embraced by the peach, but I think that it did help with my main purpose for it which was to help alleviate the dryness from version one.

    This test was done having steeped longer than my first version and I wonder if that enabled the Milk & Honey to develop further and become more involved throughout the vape.
    Its taste with the fruits was almost beautiful at times.
    I did not perceive this effect throughout my entire testing though.

    After finishing this test, I really wouldn't consider this a mango recipe anymore.
    My "vision" for this mix was for Peach to be the star, Mango the co-star, with the Milk & Honey and Creamy Vanilla supporting.
    But Milk & Honey had usurped and taken this in its own direction, and I think I like this result better.

    Overall, this mix is my favorite from MaMaMaMa23.
    (it did have a head start though)

    I don't think the name quite fits the mix anymore and will probably change it.

    Testing setups:
    Fat Rabbit Solo RTA with a N80 fused Clapton
    Geekvape Aero tank with a smok TFV9 mesh coil.

    Creamy Pango V2.0 (as tested, 11 week steep)

    1.00% Apricot (Armenia, Albicocca) (FA)
    1.50% Creamy Vanilla (CAP)
    3.00% Island Mango (SC) (WF)
    1.00% Milk and Honey (Flavorah)
    2.00% Peach, Sweet Type (SSA)



    Thank you for reading and bearing with me on my little adventure here!

    *Thank you, Random Folks, for helping
    me with the dryness thing earlier this year!
