I will be buying a gallon of nic once I am no longer visiting the storage shed twice a week to drain ice and see if more ice is needed. Oy. At least it will be comparatively cooling down or whatever. I wonder if they have some storage sheds with like, electrical outlets, that would be ideal.

Anna

I looked into that once. I live in a flood zone and I was thinking of keeping some nic away from home. The only ones I could find with electrical power were the large room sized units that you can keep cars in. Way too expensive for long term nic storage.

I like my tobacco's mild, I used 2% desert ship and 1% honeysuckle. I haven't tried it yet, I'll let you know when I do.
I usually use 3% honeysuckle, FA tobaccos can be pretty strong so 1.5% on the desert ship is good for me. Going to have to try this. Looking forward to your experience with this one.

Did you just start mixing or are you just trying sketching new?
No, I've made my own before and got a good handle on it. I'm just going for something different and couldn't come up with much that I've not made or tried as a commercial made juice. I made a lemon cheesecake juice that I could have sold, all my friends at work loved it. I'm just wanting to go all radical this time. In my mind this will work.

    Yeah grinding brakes with no pad left are probably not good anymore

    My oldest daughter wore her pads down to just a few mm a year or two ago and didn't say anything. I found out by moving her car in the driveway. I got lucky and didn't have to do rotors.

    I've been waiting on the brake pads to be delivered, finally got them today. I replaced all the rotors last year, and they seem to be fine. The pads sneaked up on me. My wife had the car serviced for other things in Texas, and failed to tell us or even ask us to have the pads replaced. They were apparently at 10%. Speaking of the dealership, they supposedly replaced a wheel stud and lugnut.. but I'm very suspicious they did that. And suspicious they did other things they charged us for. It was supposed to be an all day affair, and ended up being a couple hours despite the laundry list. My rear right wheel had a lugnut, after being broken free, that was a major pain to unscrew. The threads stripped, and nut threads stripped. Now I can't get the nut back on. So either they stripped it by over tightening, or I suspect they didn't replace the stud and nut. They also spilled or sprayed some oil or whatever on our interior roof. That was fun to clean off. Not very happy with that Kia dealership. At least I can save us some money and time and hassle by doing the repair myself. The nearest dealership here in MI is on the other side of the state,and with work schedule.. it's kind of impossible to schedule anything in advance.

    I see. Good luck with your venture. I love all my cheesecakes:)

    Glad you got the pads. Not good to have bad brakes.

    Thanks all for the recommendations on nic. I will order my next Sat off which is 1.5 weeks away
    Which vendors are the fastest for shipping. I tried River supply and they were super slow even though it didn't matter during winter time.

    I'd go with Heartland. Their house nic (the cheapest) is good, and ime they're always fast to ship - even to the PNW I usually got it in 3 or 4 days.

    Yeah, brake pads are something even *I* will do myself if I HAVE to. Forward movement is nice and all, but the ability to STOP is like, QUITE important.

    I have been busy the living room is all cleaned up and like things are going okay. The husband is doing a lot. I'm kind of beat, that happens sometimes. I think I am going to chill for a while and like relax. Talked to my little brother, he is wild and wacky as always. Yeah, I think I'm pretty boring today.

    I am so sick of my doc jacking with my meds and making my life difficult. I know it's not his fault and stuff but he's going to have to fix some things before I leave unless it is his DESIRE I enter the psych unit instead of employment.

    Being a hypiermetabolizer is also an annoyance.

    I feel like I have done nothing of substance today. Also, I am cold.

    OH-- I did fix my precision atomizer today. I was very proud of me. I mean my husband did the actually insertion of the center pin which had come apart (but I figured it all out.) I was motivated. You know how some vapes just get associated with some tanks? Maybe it's me but it is my bamboo and green banana vape. It's delicious.

    I still didn’t get my bcf order. I emailed them to see if they would check on it. It was supposed to be two day delivery. I’m starting to get a bad feeling.

    On a brighter note I got two packages delivered today with some more stuff to review.

    I even did a pineapple cheesecake once. It was good but I probably could have tweaked it some and made it better but didn't. One of my first efforts and first fail was a black cherry cheesecake. Blechhhh.

    asOooh… starting with CHERRY. Brave. I'm not at all surprised you failed (and secretly now wonder if you are a former or even current Robotripper because as far as I am concerned, like, the only invention of new cherry flavors are to torture children who have gotten used to their cough syrup.)

    No offense on the big, R but cherry is ALMOST impossible. You have nowhere to go but UP.

    Pineapple cheesecake sounds gross to me @Coyote628 but I have learned, not only are ALL our tastes different, we are all. Unique Individuals. I say that because I am about to be guilted into doing the census online. It's THE LAW. I'm tired of the daily postcards.

    I wonder if it is AGAINST THE LAW to lie heavily like "I live here with 25 illegals" but I am not about to find out.: I ALREADY had the husband yelling at me because I said I felt the rise up against your government entitled me (and probably others) to have a smart bomb pointed at the White House at all times. The husband was like, "ANNA CONTROL YOUSELF." My brother started laughing and like said it is the nature of the HUMAN beast to like, someone would set one off.;

    I said, "I am mostly kidding but I am sorry the vagina hats put me off protesting HONESTLY...." However, it was an interesting discussion. He said protesting especially non violently was NOBLE and that to die in the name of a cause was GOOD and I said to prevail in a cause was WAY BETTERT and also it's a bit rude to "Black lives matter" black people when most of em know NOTHING about black people and I told him cool stories from when I lived and worked in the minority of East Black Baltimore and they have shown education and literacy was WAY more important than like, protesting.

    He kind of agreed. He also LOVED my idea of mental health social workers like riding along ALL the time as "natural helpful presences." He also said police training needed to be a 4 year degree and include "morals" and "general philosophy" and I said that was a COOL idea and Tucson PD recruit from U of Arizona fraternities and I felt that it was the WORST place to recruit from, including Pima County jai. I mean, at least the INMATES aren't drunk 24-7..... He also agreed.

    We had fun is what I am saying. I will be able to go bug my brother in person AGAIN!! LOL
