thankfully I’m cuddled up with my Yorkie Haley. She loves to nest in her Patriots throw blanket. Found a local guy to shovel me out and no power loss at all!

Im feeling very grateful this morning!

How about my other New Englanders faring?

    Have you heard from Anna lately? I miss her. Hope she and her family are doing well.
    Yes, I hear from Anna. She said to say hi to everyone. She loves her home in WV. Happy with her new job.

    @Zazie @WhiteHighlights @Fidola13.. Hope you folks are warm this morning.

    Coffee, vape, and breakfast done, now procrastinating. Based on the towns around us, I think we ended up in the 16-18" range. I haven't seen a total for here yet. Our friend came by again this morning with his plow while we were eating, nice. It's up to 16deg outside but below zero with the wind chill. We will have to head out to dig out the cars, porch, and patio soon, but it's so cozy & nice by the fire SMT donated.

    Glad for no power loss.:) The storm was bad enough without freezing too.

    You would think so. I have a mini Dani because it was a gift from Anna. No way I'd even try to buy something that expensive.

    My most expensive mods are dna mods and I could get 2-3 for the price of a Dani.

    Maybe consider using a Kayfun Prime instead of a KFL21 on your Dani SBS??? My Prime's never leak. They have juice flow control so you could always shut the flow of juice off for added protection. Just a thought.

    My KFL19's don't leak juice out of the AF either. Make sure the wick tails in your KFL21's are not touching the center airflow block (see photo). After you install your wick, and juice it up, slide a pin or paper clip, under the wick shoulders (closest to the coil) and gently move those towards the sides of the juice wells on each side. That will prevent juice from leaking down the center AF and out of the deck airflow hole.

    You want your wick shoulders to look like this...

    You can see where space was created underneath each shoulder. That's a Prime build deck. The build decks on the Prime, KFL19 and KFL21 are the same.
    I have both Prime and KFL'21, my Prime has not leaked a drop ..
    Thanks for the picture, I see what you mean, and will concentrate much more with the tail and shoulders from now on.
    I have KFL that has not leaked a drop so the leaks are my carelessness.

    I don’t know if I’d try myself or not on that one. I’d send an email and see what they say.
    I completely agree, and it turns out that I will send them an email for how to proceed. I have come so far in my simple cleaning that there is nothing more I can do, I think maybe it's a little juice that bug the bottom switch, but the only thing that does not work properly now is to turn off and start up the mod. I can turn it off but can not start it up without removing the battery.

    In general, Dicodes' Chipset does not cost much more than Evolv, technologically speaking, Evolv does not have the compact chipset that Dicodes has.

    The best way to describe Dicodes is to include one image of the Extreme v3 chipset:

    The Dani SBS chip is possibly a further development from the Extreme v3 chipset.

    In real life Panna Cotta recipes have heavy cream(s), a vanilla and unflavored gelatin. Some recipes use half-and-half instead of cream(s) and some use a combination of the two.

    With that in mind, for a basic Panna Cotta recipe I would start with this:

    FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) 3%
    FA Whipped Cream 1.5%
    FLV Cream 1%
    FA Milk 0.75%

    Alternatively, you could go with FA Vanilla Bourbon for a darker more earthy vanilla to make it more tasty and less generic. If you do, go with a lower percent, like 2%, or it will take over the mix.

    I think that would give you a decent Panna Cotta base. Then add whatever fruit(s), chocolate, nut, caramel, butterscotch or whatever other flavor(s) you might like over the top.

    Panna Cotta Tiramisu would also be tasty. It you like FA Tiramisu go with 0.25% (it's strong). The tiramisu would add some tartness to the Panna Cotta. Same thing with adding a coffee flavor like FA Cappuccino or FA Dark Bean (Coffee Expresso).

    Hope that helps! :)
    thanks mate,
    I have written down the recipes,
    need to buy FA Whipped Cream and FLV Cream.
    I like creamy flavors so both were already listed in the shopping list.

    I hear you and dearly miss all the old places like that! The folks who worked in many of those places knew customers by name. And people were, ummm, friendly. Remember Woolworths? In 60s they had the best soda fountains.

    I remember Woolworths. Didn't realise they even had them in the US. Back in the early 60's my local Woolies installed a doughnut making machine. It was a long tray full of hot oil with a conveyor belt. You ordered your doughnuts and they put them in at one end and you could watch them slowly run through the oil, flip over and go through again to cook the other side, then stop on a drip tray for a while so excess oil could run off. The kids would be queued up around the block. Just plain fried dough, no icing or sprinkles.

    First pass done outside; cars have been liberated! I had to come back in for my Face Pain Conference, a session that I'm really interested in starts in 5 minutes (dealing with dentists, a great fear of mine). Back later!

    I wouldn't want to get hit with one.
    Iguanas are adorable. If you travel to places where people are used to having them around (are not hostile toward them), like Mexico and the Virgin Islands, the iguanas will walk right up to you with gentle curiosity. But yah, disconcerting to have a little godzilla fall on your head. When I read the article and viewed the video posted by Uncle, there was a bit of a disconnect. 5 ft includes the long tail. They really aren't scary big, though I never saw one when I visited FL. In MX and the Virgins, the ones I saw were much bigger than lizards, but nowhere near as big as a croc or a gator or cayman. Maybe they've become bigger in Florida than elsewhere.

    I had a pet lizard in my bedroom growing up. I didn't bring it in. It was just there one day, and it stayed. It hung out between the curtains and the window. I didn't feed it. I believed it was eating spiders, but I could be wrong. We had brown recluse in my neighborhood, so I liked having a lizard guardian. Whatever it ate, it found on its own. I think it liked me too.
