Happy anniversary!!!
You know, you are right. I do love my trees and all of my animals do too. They sold these homes as wooded lots. They basically took thick woods and built homes among them. My squirrels love the hickory nuts and one was on my deck eating a nut the other day. Another squirrel did not run away when I went out to feed them. I look at the tree two feet away from me and I see a squirrel peeking at me from the back...you could only see the top of his head and his eyes. He was excited and not afraid. Now that the trees are bloomed out I can see no neighbors in the back. Completely private. I do love my trees!
My old neighbor called squirrels tree rats. I don’t mind them as long as they don’t get in my attic.
Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day!
Letting the wife sleep in and the youngest is home so we’ll make brunch after bit. I had flowers delivered from her favorite florist yesterday and let her pick out a couple things she wanted. I am done nagging the kids about holidays and they can fend for themselves if they want to get gifts or cards. I’ve done my part. We are going to take over dinner for the MiL later.

Looks like the closest to silver I would be able to get in a squonker is the carbon fiber Pulse.
Rating my present rotation, all were sft's that steeped for 5 weeks. Except for the mocha coffe(ssa) the rest were WF's.
Butter pecan pie-5%-8
Boysenberry raspberry-4%-7
Grape juice-4%-6(after 3 tanks added 6 drops of ws23 to the rest now 6.5
Tropical gummy candy-4%-6
Strawberry cheesecake-2%-4(I'm being generous here)
Mocha coffee-1%-9 (coil killer)

I honestly don’t worry a lot about tanks matching my mods. I care more about how something actually works.
With an sft you're testing only a single flavoring. With Bill's 100 drop taste test...you're making a miniature version of a new recipe...using the flavorings, plain PG, plain VG, and nic base shown in the recipe. Each 1% of any/all ingredients in the recipe = 1 drop that you use in the taste test. You "tweak" that miniature amount to your own taste, remembering that each additional drop of anything added to it...means a +1% change in that ingredient in the original recipe. You keep notes on what you've changed as you go, so when you're finished...it results in an adjusted recipe to suit your tastes. Making any full size version of that recipe then, will mean it will be identical in taste to the miniature one.
Here's a link to Bill's blog that's full of useful hints, tips, etc.:

I'm too OCD mine have to do both match and work perfectly!
I'm that person that hunted down the purple replacement glass so my kabuki tank perfectly matched my purple provari and purple sparkle swrill MHM drip tip I bought for it 
This really helps me understand % more. I'm really struggling with that a lot, I only ever used drops or ml to mix.
I lost my Mom back in 94.
She loved this & maybe it will explain my earlier post.
The Power of the Dog
Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find—it’s your own affair—
But… you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long—
So why in—Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

The Caramel Mocha sft that I mixed up is still beyond yummy
BUT...
Again I find that caramels leave a stink in the air, kind of like smoldering paper.

Yay! You might want to also go back to my post and click the 2nd link I added, to see Bill's own explanation of the 100 drop taste test. It helped me understand it better when I first started DIY. I also asked him some questions about it in the blog.
