the liquid is rather foul but not so bad as to necessitate a hospital visit.
something unrelated and nothing to panic about at the moment. hair is one of the few things i can lose lots of and still be left with an ample supply.

I see a lot besides "tomato" in that pic, but I'm not gonna quibble.

@markfm ,@NolaMel is it normal for the silverplay to leak through its airhole and if not what can I do about it? I trimmed my wicks so they were JUST touching the "juciefill" dome or whatever you call it. Am I supposed to have wicking OUTSIE it? I used a mediumish amount of rayon and I did not trim my tails a ton.

If there's better wicking I can do that would be nice. It does not leak when I leave it kind of tilted on its side.

Morning all. I bet I’m the only one who woke up later than usual with the stupid time change.
Nope, slept till almost 10. But, I did go to sleep some time after midnight
Plus, I had a time zone move from pacific back to central Thursday, so my internal clock is fubar

None of mine have leaked. I cram as much rayon in as I can push through with a dental pick while holding the coil together with my ceramic vape tweezers (provably 50% more in length than I need in the end) . It’s the only tank I don’t comb the tails. Once I get the cage on, I close the wick holes tight, trim the wick even with the edge, then open the holes back up to about 2/3 and fluff the wick to fill the space.

I hope this is a good sign... orders made this weekend from sourcemore and FT have “shipped”. And....Dani mini will be here via dhl Wednesday. After May deeming hits I’m afraid either my usps or ups people are going to call the police for a well fare check since the plethora of packages will have stopped :rolleyes:

Silverplay....I've seen it wicked the way you describe. It's usually wicked just like the german Taifun atomizer. What I do is have the wicks go through the notches, put the cap on and screw it down. Then I take really sharp shears and trim off the wick just on the outside of the chamber flush with the outside....then gently fan out the cotton with my finger. I don't get leaking that way.

Yeah we're getting cold here too. Later this week we have days that don't even get up to 0 celsius. The snow has begun although it's not accumulated yet. Winter time baby, time for the long johns. I've got today off and it's actually beautiful outside albeit chilly. About to go to town (30 minute drive away) to do my weekly re-stock on groceries while Mrs Sloth's at a meeting. She'll be excited to come home to a fully stocked kitchen. I love days off :)

Have an awesome day Ricky, I'm excited to hear how the bunnies like their new shelter!
Thanks !! She came running up to me this morning when lugging it out of the back of my truck at 630 wanting food. I put it back where her food and water have been.

She loves her carrots

If you've got a good recipe can I have it. Decent cream of tomato soup recipes are few and far between :)
It's a very loose recipe really.

I get six 28oz cans of tomatoes, usually 2 cans of whole and the remaining 4 cans being a mix of diced and crushed. I blend the two whole cans in a vitamix/blender, then combine them all in a big pot. Then I sautee at least 2 large sweet potatoes, along with a mix of whatever else I want--usually onion, peppers, zucchini, etc--and toss them in the pot.

I add 1/2 tsp of salt (not a big salt fan, but could add more), 4 tablespoons of sugar, and an absurd amount of black pepper and oregano, basil, whatever else. Simmer for 2 hours then put in roughly 4 cups of heavy cream or whatever kind of milk product you prefer (I've been using almond milk lately, the nuttiness is great). Continue simmering until it boils again, then feed the family and don't forget the pooch :cool:

I've also been known to blend a sweet potato into the tomatoes during the blender step. A vitamix (or similar product) is needed for this, and it's best to sautee it first. Either way, this is really a sweet potato/tomato soup. And it's awesome, IMO.

Hey thank you so much for taking the time. I'm definitely going to try this it looks fantastic. And yes love the sound of the sweet potato. It will be a great addition to texture and the sweetness will add to the general flavour and overall finished taste.

Thank you again :wub:
