Random DIY mixing and More

[rosesense]

I thought of something. I drink a lot of coffee in the mornings and I'm trying to minimize the number of times I have to get up, so I've ordered an electric kettle and some Folgers coffee bags. Now I have to clear up a spot on my bedside table.

First thing I thought was you will have to get up 'for other things' if you drink much coffee.

Only 46 this morning going to 75.

I had the same thought.

They're really good together!!!

Last week I mixed 5mls of this......

WF Pudding Milk Chocolate 2.25%
WF Ice Cream Dark Chocolate 1.25%
SSA Ice Cream 1.25%

SSA IC is there because I wanted more ice cream flavor.

Just about vaped it all up today. Gonna mix 30mls tomorrow.

Also going to do a mix with WF PMC + WF ICDC and one of the milkshake flavors for a chocolate shake.

I will probably mix both of those and another with added pudding.

Yeah, but I won't have to try and carry a hot cup of coffee while on crutches with those "other things".

Good morning random folks. Have you any plans today?

Hola. Plans today involve work related stuff and trying to find a good company to fix or install a fence. Yourself?

Morning, mixers.

A bit warmer today, mid 80s. No rain.

Boss is down with cabin fever, so some sort of jaunt for the day. The hoses will likely pout at being ignored. Tough.

Start using a non-spill travel mug

Good morning. I’m not looking forward to work today after yesterday. My numbers for last month were down a lot due to the extra responsibilities I’ve been assigned and don’t agree with some of the decisions my boss is making. However, he’s still the boss so I have to deal with it.

Hey Hitt, this is kind of random, but I seem to recall you mentioning your daughter using some sort of subscription service for textbook rentals. Do happen to remember the name of the company you used? I would like to look at some other options other than just buying them from the campus bookstore.

I was just figuring the time I need to put my roast and veggies in the crock pot. Was thinking about mixing also but only have 1 bottle left. Might have to look and see what I have for plastic that I'd want to use.

I have 2 regular recipes to mix. Then I have 3 for the WF Puddiing milk chocolate/ Ice Cream Dark chocolate. One adds Pudding, one adds ice cream and one adds milkshake.

Roast sounds good. Did you make enough to share?

But of course. Only me and SIL so always something to share.

You could try Amazon. They sell textbooks, including Kindle downloads. There is an option to buy used books there as well.

Thanks, I was aware of Amazon having some textbooks, but I seem to recall @hittman talking about textbook rentals, which is an avenue I would be interested in. It appears that there are a few companies online, but I was hoping to see which one he used and to find out if it was any good.

I meant to share with us. I'll wash and ship back the tupperware.

It's no big deal. I'm in no hurry.

I've been struggling with a fence job lately. It's an out of the way fence behind my garage that I never even see unless I go looking, the panels are falling apart. Got a couple of estimates, the latest was from an outfit called Cedar Creek. It was $2800 for a fancy hand built 36' cedar fence, then $800 on top to haul away a pile of yard timbers and 4 pieces of used fence panels I had lying around. It would have been a beautiful fence, but I don't have that kind of money to burn. Built my own fences for years but I'm getting old.

The old fence posts are pretty solid, just not entirely vertical. All I need is one more post putting in and 5 cheap panels hung. Don't care what it looks like. Probably going to hire a local handyman. And the local guys will do hauling for $150 per truck load.

You should get several estimates. Fence companies are expensive these days, and there's a shortage of workers.

Just wanted to let you know he's not ignoring you.
