    My John Deere rider has a great feature. You attach a hose to a fixture on top of the deck. Start the water running and spin the blade for a while. The blade throws the water around and the underside of the deck comes out sparkly clean.

    My previous mower was a JD push mower. Still working like a dream after almost 10 years, brilliant engine. I did all the maintenance, except for years I was lazy about cleaning the grass off the underside of the deck and the deck just rusted through. Still it gave me an excuse to get a rider. It took me 4 hours to mow the lawn before and it was getting harder. Now I can do it in 40 mins sitting down.
    Some of the newer Toro personal pace mowers have a hose connection like that. Mine is too old but have seen it.

    Good evening. I stopped on the way home and got a haircut again. I didn’t notice it at first but the last time the lady didn’t cut it short enough so it only lasted a few weeks. My hair grows fast anyway but I can usually go 4-5 weeks.

    I mix 100mls of my regular juices at a time in 120ml bottles. Generally when I get down near the bottom of a 120 I mix another 100mls in the bottle. Trouble with that is the juice has only steeped for a week or so when I start vaping it. It's well steeped by the time I get to the bottom of the bottle.

    I figured out a new trick today. For each 120 bottle I labeled up a 60ml bottle. Now when the 120 is down to half full I can empty it out into the 60ml, by that time it's well steeped. Then I can mix a 100ml batch. And the 120 will be well steeped by the time I get through the 60. No more vaping unsteeped juice.

    In my last bottle order I meant to get one 60ml bottle but accidentally got a 12 pack instead. Now I have some use for them.

    Quite exciting for me, since I've settled into a major vaping rut for years and nothing new happens anymore.

    I'll soon be into a similar rotation with my goto juice.

    Thanks for the hindsight!!!

    I finally got around to breaking into the Capella flavor pack. I did an sft of 4U blend and did a 2ft of berrylicious and pudding base. I’m only going to do a couple at a time since I know from past experiences that if I mix samples of all of them that I’ll end up not trying half or more of them.

    Good thinking. Hope you like them.

    Dinner with a twist.

    A twist on a supreme pre-made pizza. Sliced garlic, more sausage, thin sliced tomatoes, pepercini, garlic Dill Pickles, mushrooms, cayenne pepper and mozzarella....

    I hope it tastes good.

    (Edit)
    No idea what happened when I posted last night. I couldn't upload a picture. It was a success. Both my wife and I thought it was a hit.

    Be sure and report your results. I have yet to break out mine, but I'll have a mixing marathon in the near future. I may need to buy some more 30ml bottles. I melted some of mine on the stove. Don't ask me how, but it was an accident.

    I will report back once I try them. I get the stove thing. My wife has melted things on the stove in the past. Not so much since we got the flat cooktop.
