I've been doing a bit of procrastinating for several years. We had a nice oak tv/entertainment center with cabinets (floor to ceiling) on each side. Along with two matching end tables. All of it was in the Family Room. To include a working fine cathode ray TV, and a loveseat.

I got a wild hair. I hated to do it. That furniture was quality, solid-oak and cabinet-grade plywood. I had it before my wife and I got married 34 years ago. Damn dogs.
The loveseat and TV got hauled by my tractor, and dumped into the box trailer. The entertainment center and all other matching cabinets got unloaded of my stereo equipment, then the cabinets got taken outside.

I selectively disassembled with a sledgehammer (shelves, top, sides, back) without destroying it, then put the pieces into the trailer, for a later dump run.

The (8-place) dinner table and chairs may go in the trailer next.

Male dogs have tendency to mark things, is why everything is going bye-bye.

My procrastinating, I'm over it now. LOLOL

While not as ambitious as @Real-ist, today was a more day - more house cleaning, more laundry, and best of all - more exercises done! It doesn't hurt that the DH is currently in PT and has to do his exercises twice a day. I figure I should be able to do mine too.

Tomorrow will be busy - payroll and a new aquatics director starts. The asst. director is pregnant and due in 3 weeks, so we have to bring him up to speed quickly. The upside is she's great and has done most of the work for spring and summer programs and staff scheduling, he's coming in to organized chaos. :lol:

    @rosesense , I hope that you and yours have been well.

    I've finally worked through all of my chocolate testers and am not really confident that any are real winners.

    Both TPA and FW Fudge Brownie were at the top of the bunch, to my tastes, followed by FW Milk Chocolate and then TPA Double Chocolate Clear.
    I found the rest to be meh, no, or uh-uh as tested.

    I think that you've said that you tried DCC before and have ruled that out?
    (I do have TPA Double Chocolate Dark but didn't test that one, not sure why I didn't include it.)

    I'm going to try the Fudge Brownies in a couple of mixes moving forward and see where that goes.
    Thanks for trying. I do like DCC but don't think it is used or if used, it would be a small amount. I hope to get back to testing soon. Everything is in chaos here atm, might be moving to Colorado (not that I want to).

    Late evening all. I'm placing an order on Amazon for a few things. A glass beaker set (for mixing) come to mind. Should I get a set? What do you recommend?

    Also, anything else you would suggest, that may be of necessity.

    On my list is...
    LB-501 digital scale
    Cellucotton

    **I have 120ml, 100ml, 60ml bottles and plenty of quality syringes.**
    Ebay had the best deal on the LB-501. (New) $32.13+free shipping.
    I have one on the way.

    I would post a link, but I don't want a spanking. Well, maybe if the giver was female...lol

    I have that scale but for those who don't mind battery ones instead of plug in, I have this one from Temu for around 5 bucks: Plus they have lots of different ones, all are free shipping and free returns.

    Good morning. The weekend was too short as usual. We got some rain yesterday but not much. I think there’s supposed to be more today.
    Good morning, hitt. :) We had sun all day yesterday but it was too cold to melt much snow. Supposed to be partly sunny today with a high of 44. Only a cold 20 right now.
