I guess I'll see what all the fuss is about on caps when my bcf order gets here. Hope they aren't too ridiculous, but meh, it's not a big deal either way.
Probably not a big deal for most unless you store them in a tight spot. New caps might not fit.

Geez, I sprayed weed killer and cleaned gutters today.
I've done nothing productive all day :p, but I tiled most of a bathroom shower yesterday so I'm relaxing. Finishing the tile and some grouting tomorrow, at least that's what I have planned for the near future. Glad I have an 'essential' job, but still limiting any trips as much as possible and using sanitizer, etc.

Hate grouting.

Vaping since 8/9/2012
I just wrapped up my work day. I’m roasting some veggies for me and about to make chicken sandwiches for the boy. I updated my vape spending/inventory spreadsheet as I was about four months behind. I didn’t think I bought much since last year but I was wrong. It adds up. Flavor order here and coil order there, etc. I fed the birds and squirrels and chipmunks. Did the dishes and laundry. And bathed. Pretty productive day. I’m ready to eat and get on the couch. I noticed all these limbs in the yard from the storms that I need to pick up. I just did that but now I gotta do it again. I may go through paperwork as I watch tv later. :eek:

    When I started mixing I dumped a ton of yuck mixes. Then I determined I should write my own recipes and I did and I dumped a ton of yuck mixes. Thank heavens I don’t have to do that too much anymore. Still hate it when it happens though.

    I got one of those mini jackhammer thingies and took the grout out between the tiles and regrouted. Did that a few years ago. Worked pretty good.
    When i have to regrout (which is a rare occurence) I use a razor knife and 5-in1 tool, plus a wet sponge. Power tools have their place, but manual labor, and the associated tools, are more effective on most jobs. Another nice manual tool I'm considering is the grout removal tool at Lowes. Haven't used it yet, but it looks like it might be worth purchasing. I am a cheap bastad, and try to cut down costs wherever I can as long as it doesn't affect the end results for the customer. That is my my biggest concern, and why I get so much business by word of mouth. I could cut corners and get jobs done quicker/cheaper, but my ultimate goal is customer satisfaction. That principle has worked out VERY well for me over the years. Over the last decade I have only had one complaint from a customer, and it was because they used materials I told them were a bad idea to use (never should have agreed to that).

    Good work is rewarded.

    I got my BCF order from the sale. I am excited to mix up some sfts of a couple of them. Butter Pecan Pie WF and also Banana Nut Bread TFA.

    Banana Nut Bread was the only TFA flavoring I had that was good on its own. Vaped a lot of that at one time.

    I couldn’t find the recipe for my last two mixes. Lucky I recovered a memory. Tomorrow or over the weekend I have to mix.Not that I’m in any danger of running out I just love finding new mixes and maybe help a few others in the process.

    I need to overseed my lawn, but I figure I can do that after sunset with a headlamp. The neighbors already think I'm crazy so might as well just cement that impression fully! :lol:
    You should be fine early in the morning or late in the evening (enough light to see but no strong sunlight)
