Alright folks, I've done all I needed to get done this morning. About to hit the road soon. Hope everyone has a great next couple of days.
Don’t forget…. Ted Drewes, and toasted ravioli :)
Have fun in StL!

Got any good news?
What Atty didn't mention is that delivery is about to get permanently slower and pricier. Beginning Friday USPS will start implementing new service standards for 1st class mail and periodicals. They will be slowing those by 30%. USPS claims 61% of first-class mail will not be affected (whose 39% will be? :facepalm:). On Oct 3rd and ending Dec 26th prices will be increased on all commercial and retail domestic packages for the holidays.

Thing is they already started slowing Priority Mail packages many months ago. Historically those were all 3 day delivery times.

Stoopid USPS. Someday they might figure out that they will have to adjust rates, not to our liking, to better compete with other more efficient carriers.


But yes I agree, here here for any and all good news! :)

Like spring is only 7 months away. :D It'll go fast, it always does.

I guess it could be described that way, yes.
I couldn’t put my finger on it… almost like the bottom of a burned cookie. Dropping it way down helped a little, but that acrid flavor lingered. I could see using one drop in a creme brulee to mimic the burnt sugar topping. Other uses, I’m not so sure

    I don’t have the patience to deal with a crappy flavor like that. Rubbish bag is good place for it.

    The Molicel P26A's are really good batteries. I have a bunch. They use thicker wraps than any other battery maker. I think you will like them.
    And Mooch has the Molicel P26A rated as his highest performing 18650.

    I got 8 extra Moli's and put them in the fridge. I always had a lot of batteries and kept them in a rack waiting their turn. Trouble with that is they spent most of their time sitting around at full charge. That might be why my batteries are worthless after 2 years. Now I only keep 2 more than I need in the rack so they never sit there for more than a day charged up. Hopefully the ones in the fridge will be almost as good as new when I take them out. You have to worry about the Moli's. If they are the only ones available the flashlight crowd might start clearing the shelves.

    It doesn't here either. I'm just psyching myself up with some positive thinking. Last winter seemed to fly by... after the fact. ;) And I would rather have cold and snow over hurricanes, wild fires or earthquakes. Any day.

    They might never be able to compete with the other carriers since they have a legal obligation to deliver to every address in the country at the same price.

    I keep my spare batteries in a cool room in my basement. Usually when new batteries arrive they're at the suggested storage voltage of 3.5v-3.6v. If any are less than 3.5v I bring them up to 3.6v before storing them. Every 4-5 months I pull them out and check them. Those that need topping off I pop in a charger, bring them to 3.6v and then back to storage they go.

    Moli's aren't the only 18650's available. I just looked at IMR Batteries and The 18650 Battery Store the other day. Both places had Sony/Murata's, Samsung's and Moli's (and some others). Those are Mooch recommended stores.

    There are plenty of 20700 and 21700 batteries available as well. I use all three battery types.

    I do want to do a Creamy Custard mix also. Love the stuff.
    I really like your Creamy Custard a lot. My 30ml bottle has a little more than 1/2 left. Next mixing session I will make 60mls.
