Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Well that stinks. I sent them priority.

This is what I get from tracking.

In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

RANDOM MORE . . .

Although the discussion is on going, just want to make sure none of "Us" get political or start a fight . . . AND - Not that I can have them any longer - BUT IMHO THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL - Like A Proper Home Made or Bakery Donuts . . . When none can be found - since they are very close to real donuts - maybe Krispy Kreme donuts in a pinch . . . However - As for Dunkin' - please get real people, while they were 'freshly made" every hour a very long time ago - today they're nothing but manufacture disgusting lumps that are oozed out of machines and that are sometime filled with or coated with manufacture man made fake sugar flavored garbage . . . All the DD"s in the area around here have the donuts (& Bagels) shipped in every morning from the main clearinghouse and sit there all day (I found out some stay over night for the next day - if not sold) . . . As for the sandwiches, especially the rubbery egg sandwiches - have Ya ever looked at what's inside - premade frozen defrosted products that are reheated in a small convection style oven with presets . . . Not for "Me" . . . Again, "My" Peronal Opinion" . . . Just sayin' . . .

Guess I was mistaken.

@FranC I am barely able to keep up with my OWN life it's not a big deal if you are mistaking.

I think that may be why I am feeling the "Whelm" feeling. Too much to do and a job that is currently HARD because it is new.

I wish we had gotten here 2 months ago. Sigh.

I like DD coffee. It is shockingly good. I think everyone likes it, given you can get a generic version at Walmart. Like, it's not the same though. As having this leisurely morning where you wake up at 2 and stop by the Walmart after yoga, on your way to work.

Note: This has never happened to me but I bet it is AWESOME.

I'm sure 2 months ago would have been better but I'm sure everything will work out. The job will get easier in time. I think you will have an easier time looking for a home if you don't only look at near-perfect ones. Of course, that would make everything easier but your hubs is good at doing work that might be needed also.

Have you tried the Kanzi apples yet? A “competitor” to honeycrisp. Really yummy. I got some plumcots yesterday (cross breed between a plum and an apricot). They’re really good. I wish we could grow something other than citrus and pears. The pear varieties that do well here are mostly cooking varieties though.

Have not tried those, but this orchard has many varieties I'll be on the lookout for those then! I just put my name and number down for them to call me when the honeycrisps come in. @hittman they are indeed a bit pricey IIRC, but for something we enjoy seasonally, I don't mind the cost. I think it's $32 for a bushel, which is quite a lot of apples.
This "Trifecta" (pumpkin, cinnamon, caramel) of donuts is kinda spendy $9.25 for a dozen, but again.. it's seasonal and made fresh daily right there at the orchard. Worth the money IMO for something bought very sporadic.. we'll probably not get anymore this year. They have pies, cookies, etc.. but we're hankering for those fresh apples.

We have a honeycrisp tree in our front yard [emoji3]

One thing I miss with Covid19 is the lack of fall festivals. I love the fresh fried donuts and apple crisps at those festivals [emoji3]

My batteries are out for delivery as well. Twofer! I hope the mail runs early. I want to mix.

 

[stols001]

Eh, I'm not picking. Right now I just want to get prequalified man but the husband is being the most GIGANTIC ase. on the face of the planet. He just won't let me CALL one oh HELL no HE has to research them HE has to be in charge and holy jesus I am SORRY I am the person who called some real estate service agents last night and well I get access to the webpage and I don't know how to let you know SO SORRY. Yeah, I bet I can get prequalified through the union and etc. and YAY well that can happen LATER if need be.

I hate him so much (husbando.) I agree on the non perfect houses and we have looked at some but geez louise I am supposed to put the husband to work AGAIN? He too has not finished like, uh, recovering. Also he procrastinates on stuff. You know.

Mornin

Good morning
So.. i got my batteries and plopped one in, and I'm like.. now what? I swear the ordering, waiting, and receiving a package is more thrilling than the actual item.

Off to the apple orchard soon before it gets crowded to pick up some apples, donuts, and cider. Stopped by there on a whim yesterday on my way home from work.. jam packed.. no thanks.
My apple trees are sad, and there will be no harvest this year. We haven't quite figured out apple trees like we have with our heavily laden peach and cherry trees. I'm not going to buy too many apples.. yet. I break the bank when the honeycrisp are in season. We are vegan, but willing to not be vegan for a moment for these amazing donuts.

Wife and I fell in love with honeycrisp apples when we lived in Massachusetts. When we moved down to Florida the quality of them was not the same... They are my favorite apple.

OH MY ! ! ! Yes - How I do miss a "Fall Festival" and home made items, especially by the PA Dutch and Country Farm House Cooks . . . . . . However it's not because of Covid - there are no "Old Fashion Fall Festivals" down here in South Florida . . .

I really wasn't thinking of putting your husband through another major project at this time. More of minor stuff you want done such as painting??

Any specials going at Bull City or did I miss them? Got a cart sitting ready to go.

Morning, mixers. Another 45,362 pages to catch up on ...

Isn't their a Percentage of Water too? Cause that VG is syrupy. I didn't quite get everything you said it I'm rushing to just have something to Vape 4 now & its not looking too great so any help is appreciated & I'll be rereading your input.

While most juice calculators do have a spot for water, I don't use any in my mixes, and especially not in my "base." Water is usually only added to thin the mix, and I run about 65PG, so don't need that. High VG users may need a drop or three, but go light on water if you think you need it.

Good morning. I’m just going to clean house this weekend. But I’m also going to mix. I am low on juice. I’m waiting on my gremlin order. I saw their weekly sale contained some drink flavors and I’m curious about root beer float. Has anyone tried it?

TFA? Makes a nice solo at around 5%, and, as mentioned, VBIC rounds it out very nicely

Didn't really like that post, just thanks for the info.

I needed to do an order weeks ago and waited until I actually ran out of several flavors and the juice I make with them. Anyway procrastinating is a hobby of mine and good hobbies don't come cheap. I did the same when I first started ordering juice on line. Kept putting off ordering and had to go up the vape shop for emergency supplies. That led me once to pick up several cheap bottles from the discontinued bin. Never forget one of those, it was the most horrible thing I ever vaped. It was one I had tried before and it was good but I got a way out of date bottle.

Could be you need to lighten up on the procrastination a bit?

So I ordered some flavorings last weekend and they arrived yesterday.
Graham Cracker Cap
Churro Cap
Tiramisu FA
Sweet Rice SC
Pudding Base VT
Sweet Cream TFA
Butter Cream Cap
Biscuit CSL
Irish Cream FA
Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) FA
Vienna Cream FA

I don' know what SC, VT and CSL are ??

Anyhoo....Last night I opened and sniffed bottles and then dove in and grabbed a few to mix together into 'something' for grins and giggles...
In a 100 ml bottle I used 2ml Irish Cream, 2ml Vienna Cream and 2ml Madagascar(Classic Vanilla)
This is pretty dang tasty fresh...I think it's going to be killer after a week or two !!


I am eyeing that sweet rice and the pudding base...

A guy has to get his fun where he can these days, with Covid going on. I did the free shipping option too so I'll have to wait a long time and fuss over the tracking.

I agree 100% on the TFA Root Beer Float alone and/or with VBIC. I also like OSDIY Old Tyme Root Beer + VBIC.
