Random DIY mixing and More

We've turned cool and damp, rain on the way later this week. Guess our summer is over

Did it ever start?

Did it ever start?

Not here yet.

Did it ever start?

Yeah, they had a couple hours and that is as good as it gets in Western WA. After living there for almost 50 years, I can say that with certainty.

Did it ever start?

Sure did. We had almost a week and a half of dry, sunny and warm(ish) days. Over 60 Yeah, summer

You mean you have a shorter summer than us?

Well, if it goes as "normal" we'll have a cool and wet June, but summer arriving (maybe) mid July and running through August. Of course, once we get there, many will be wishing for cooler temps and rain.

Update email from River Supply:

Most important details in it - "As you know, on March 31st 2020, Ventura County implemented an extended version of their Stay Well At Home order. Accordingly, River Supply Co. halted operations as of April 2, 2020. We were hoping to resume normal operations after two weeks. Unfortunately, the county order has been extended to May 15th. As a result, we will not be accepting new orders until May. This applies to all customers on all levels."

 

[FranC]

Got that in my email too.

I wish you hadn't asked... we got these bags of "garden soil" and tilled it in (like we do every year) and it destroyed most of the plants. Went and read reviews and so many bad reviews (including what happened to us... some mold or plant disease) Squash plants had some horrible black spots and my newly sprouted green beans turned black and died before second set of leaves even appeared. Only 4 out of 40 survived! Brand is "Stay Green" from Lowes (should have paid more and got Miracle Grow or any other brand) My peppers (in a different garden) are fine because I didn't use that crap in that area. Mom's tomatoes are barely doing OK but usually look better. Lesson learned... it's not worth saving a few bucks!
Sorry, but you did ask. Reviews mentioned: glass, plastic, mold, chunks of rotted wood, rocks, asphalt, rocks, termite larvae, piece of moldy bread, smell of sewage (I'm not making this up... go to Lowes website and read the reviews for "Stay Green" garden soil) I am a huge fan of Lowes but my son got some Round-up and the measure cup (attached to the top of the bottle) was cracked... we didn't notice and when I poured some in it leaked all over (including on his lawn) I have been doing vegi gardens for years and never had an experience like this before. I hope your garden is doing well...

Gah! I was hoping it was doing well, not this! I'm sorry this happened

I reckon the only time it makes sense to have a large number of flavorings is if you are using multiple versions of something. Like several different brands of a fruit. Too many different flavors and they seem to just produce a blur, nothing comes through. I know there are recipes around with a long list of ingredients but it never worked out for me.

After I do SFTs, sometimes I just mix the leftovers (mostly fruits) together ("mutt mix") This last time it totally muted... down the drain it goes (and I never waste anything... until now)

WalMart is limiting foaming hand soaps to one per customer here. I just ordered and received 6 of them from Bath and Body Works.

The least I steeped it has been two weeks and it seemed fine to me. The stuff I'm vaping now is 37 days old and it's even toastier. The base emerges more the longer it steeps. Liked this stuff when I first vaped it and as the days went by I kept liking it more. It's addictive.

Ok,it’s got a bit of sitting to do.

RJ doesn't steep hers at all and she likes it. But then it's RJ.

Not really... I did it as an experiment and learned something about too many flavors cancelling each other out (it was less than 20 ml... not a big deal)
