    Right here, Terri. :) What are you doing today?

    Nothing noteworthy. I went for a walk earlier. I'm up to more than 2 blocks--twice around the block then to my mailbox and back. My mailbox isn't right in front of my house, but on the opposite side of the next street over. I have to cross my yard, my neighbor's yard and a wide busy street.

    Why is your mailbox so far away?

    For the ease of the postal carriers. Their routes don't take them down each and every street, so boxes are situated on the streets they do go down. This place, when you consider how many people live in the country, is big enough for 3 carriers, but is only allotted 2. Very few people have their box in front of their house. It makes my job harder too.

    Similar here for the USPS. We're down a (slightly) improved gravel/dirt dead end, with a couple jogs. There are a couple "stands" with multiple boxes on each, so the carrier only needs two stops for about 15 of us. Thankfully, our "stand" is just across the road from the end of our driveway. :) And yes, we DO have a locked mail box! Of course it won't stop any determined thief, but they tend to head for softer targets... hopefully!

    Makes me glad the mailbox is out front here.

    I hate delivering to locked boxes. Only the very smallest of packages fit in them and if my scanner for some reason doesn't save the tracking number scan, I can't get the package back to rescan it. Fortunately, at least for now, mail theft isn't a problem, so very few people have them. Even porch pirates aren't an issue here.

    Waving Hi to y'all great random folks.:) Can I get a Hi ????
    Hi, Fran, I hope all of you are well :)

    We are doing okay.
    I did whip up a couple of testers this week. One is the Walrus Breath idea that I mentioned recently and the other one meets the guidelines for the Flavorah 5x5 Recipe Contest being hosted by a large e-liquid recipe site.
    I probably won't submit it as I doubt I'll get any revisions done before the deadline at the rate I move.
    I guess I shouldn't mention much about that mix right now though, just in case v1.0 turns out to be super-duper awesome.

    Hopefully you never have a problem.

    I made up a little batch of new recipes yesterday myself and two of them are full of Flavorah flavours!! Let's see if they end up competition worthy :w00t:

    I hope they all turn out great! :thumbs:

    Have you become buried under a pile of testers yet?
    These were the first two that I've mixed in more than a month and I still have 52 in my steeping drawer.

    Thanks Mate :thumb:
    I manage to keep the number of steeping tester recipes reasonably low, I usually have about 10 at any one time! I don't go as crazy as some...yet:lol:
