Random DIY mixing and More

[DavidOck]

Morning, mixers.

Only a light dusting here, although I'm sure the roads are a mess. But don't need to go out, so don't care

Good morning random folks. I got my workout done early this morning as I have a meeting with my ladies group tonight. It's currently 55⁰ and today's supposed to be sunny with a high of 84⁰. It's a false spring day. It'll get cold again, even the groundhog says so.

Guess it depends on the ground hog... Phil isn't real good:

35%

Only right 1/3 of the time, so imo whatever he says, figure the opposite

In fact, MOST of 'em in PA are consistently wrong! And none on the West Coast, so... I'll stick with NOAA.

Groundhog Day always annoys me. Of course there will still be six more weeks of winter on February 2. If there aren't--and there weren't last year--it's an anomaly (or a scary portent).

Good morning, hitt. I hope it goes well.

It was ok but could have been better if some calibration’s hadn’t gotten pushed back by the boss.

Took the trash bin out this morning wearing a tee shirt.

Last night I finally did something I've been thinking about doing for years. When I started mixing I had dozens of recipes which changed all the time. I set up a spreadsheet to store them. It has 5 columns to hold 5 recipes per page and formulas to convert % of each flavor to the amount in mls based on the total size of the mix. It also did stuff like calculate amounts of VG and PG to get the ratio I wanted, and the total % of flavorings in the recipe. I had 10 copies of it, each containing current recipes randomly mixed in with recipes I haven't used for years. I had to search through multiple copies of the spreadsheet to find the one with the recipe I wanted to make. So I copied each of my current recipes into its own copy of the spreadsheet named after the recipe, with just one recipe in each. Going to be much easier now, just look for the file called strawberry. And each one can have up to 5 versions of the recipe if I make changes.

Guess they have to do stuff like that to prove they are smart and important.

I believe that he wanted to hold off to make February sales look better. We have one customer that ordered 10 machines that total around 140k with accessories and they wanted me to calibrate them before delivery. Well, the boss put the brakes on having someone assemble them so I was unable to do the calibrations and bill them before month end.

Wish it had been better.

Today is our last warm day. It got up to about 57. It’s cooling off quickly just since I got home. Back to 30’s tomorrow.

You're probably right.

We reached 38 and had a little rain but it didn't get rid of much snow. 32 now. 28 for overnight. Better than single number anyway.

We’re having kielbasa for dinner tonight. I’m looking forward to it since we haven’t had it in a long time.

 

[FranC]

Headed to my iPad and TV now.

I had a kielbasa dinner last week.

Most of our snow is gone but the sump pump is still going off occasionally. Nothing like it was Friday with 1.5 inches of rain and snow melting.

Waving to you great folks from my iPad. Can I get a Hi. ????

Too cold here to melt much. More snow for Thursday.

 

[hittman]

Our forecast says chance of freezing rain Wednesday morning. I sure hope not.

I hope not too. Freezing rain is bad news.

Goodnight folks Sweet dreams.

Good morning. Back in the 30’s as expected.
