Hi, gloop.:) LOL I like your new word.
Thank you, Fran :)
Mr. Webster probably would not approve though!

Adding "er" for unconventional usage comes from work frustrations where I would whine to my coworker that something was "driving me crazier-er".

    Behinder is more funny. The heck with Mr. Webster.

    I was getting ready to leave to go to Costco and the wife asked if I’d wait so she could go with me. I was surprised since she was having a bad pain day. Then she said she needed me to take some stuff to drop of for donations. She’s been complaining about the kitchen faucet being hard to adjust for a while now so I suggest we go by Menards. We picked a new faucet that I’ll probably go ahead and install today.
    I got a new kitchen faucet last year. I installed dozens of them I was working maintenance in group homes. The residents were rough on gear like that. But for mine I had Lowes install it. Lying on my back under the kitchen sink is more than my old bones can handle any more.

    Shortly after that the water heater died and I replaced it with a tankless. I love the idea of the tankless but it does reduce the flexibility of the water flow. It's more like you are stepping through six or so settings rather than a continuous change. I used to use a slow flow of hot water when I was cleaning tanks. But if you set the flow of hot below a certain level the heater turns off.

    Hi,hitt. :) Hope it goes well.
    It went ok besides the water shut off valves were hard to turn and the one on the hot water side was letting a drop loose every once in a while. I just left the hoses connected until I was ready to pull the old faucet and then quick dropped the new one in and connected the hoses first thing. I wasn’t about to mess with changing valves on a Sunday night. The wife is very happy with the new one.

    I just put in a new one for my mother in law a few weeks ago. I’m an old pro at changing faucets. I think I’ve replaced the kitchen one five times now. The master bath has two that have been changed a few times each and the one in the hallway bathroom has been replaced twice.

    Glad she likes the new one. Yeah, you have to be a pro after doing so many.

    @Zazie , I'm not sure if this one might interest you,

    VOC: Cinful Cookie Crunch

    2.00% Cinnamon Crunch (Flavorah)
    1.00% Meringue (SC) (WF)
    3.00% Sugar Cookie (CAP)
    0.25% Super Sweet (Purilum)
    1.50% Vanilla Overload (Gremlin)

    FA Meringue might sub for the WF.
    Holy Vanilla or possibly INW Shisha Vanilla for the Overload. From reading older posts here I think you did have some Holy?

    I might try adding a touch of Rich Cinnamon yet to see what that does, but I like this so far. Plenty full (to me), fairly rich, vanilla is the star so far.

    Testing with Hellvape Dead Rabbit Solo, single 0.25 ohm N80 fused Clapton at 26-34 watts
    Yup, it's right up my alley. Think I'll add it to three or four other Cinnamon Crunch concoctions already on the agenda for my next mixing session.

    And, yes, I have Holy Vanilla.

    Thanks for thinking of me, gloop.

    P.S. Do you consider it ready for the blog? Or should I wait for any tweaks you come up with?

    You're welcome, Zazie :)
    I remembered that you mentioned trying the Cinnamon Burn Victim mix a while back so I thought maybe try this. I don't really remember how my CBV tester went so can't really compare, but am pretty sure that the cinnamon note is lower in this recipe, at the moment.

    P.S. Do you consider it ready for the blog? Or should I wait for any tweaks you come up with?
    I am thinking of trying it with a bit of Rich Cinnamon just to see how that goes so I guess wait a bit just in case I think that makes it better.
    If you do mix it and try it before I get to tasting a revision, I would value hearing your thoughts on any adjustments you might make.
    If you find it to be a decent enough mix as is then I guess it could be added to your blog. I could end up tweaking things forever!

    Oh, thank you if you do give it a try!
