I watch an episode while I eat my lunch everyday and usually have to clean my monitor after I finish :laugh:

Got Katie's window ac put in today, I bet she sleeps like a rock tonight! I know I run on the hot side, but it's been staying around 85 degrees at night upstairs the past several nights. I don't know ho she can stand it with the humidity so high. I was soaking wet by the time I got the ac installed! Turned it on and stood in front of it for awhile, told her I was testing to make sure it was working right ;)

Weather is calling for some serious rain on Friday, up to 2" an hour! I may need to go buy a gallon bucket of that caulk and just spread it all the way around the basement LOL

Yesterday I pulled my off-shore boat down too the beach...

Radar indicated it would be clear sailing...Only one system passing slightly too the North...It barely caught me before I left heading for clear skies...

Then as I exited the interstate the sheet hit the fan...Torrential rain....lightening striking all around and the thunder wasn't playing either...I made it 20 miles at 15mph and finally pulled off at an old country store that I knew had a big shelter beside it...Spike and I ducked into the shelter for some relief from being in the truck to long...Lightening was cracking!!! We made it in safely...a little frayed and wet but safe...

An old fellow down the road died a few years back...His son is renting his house...I've seen a lot of foot traffic from the new renters.....On the lawnmower a couple of hours today and I saw a large Pit Bull roaming about...he cut into my yard and headed in the direction of my truck and boat....neither needing the tires pizzed on...I cut him off at the pass and chased him off...Later with Spike out on a bathroom run I saw him again...Luckily I saw him before Spike....The Pit ran my way as I ducked into the porch...Spike was livid...That dog would kill him in an instant...My Sister's family is heading down tomorrow...they have a small dog as well...I believe the Pit to be coming from the new renters....This little town always has a speed trap running...I went out for some grub and sure enough found a cop running radar so I turned around and informed the officer about the dog...I ended simply with "this cannot continue"....I'd the feeling the officer wanted me to say what I'd do if he didn't take care of the situation...Ninjas don't reveal their secrets....

Off the diet for a couple of days....Supper was a Cajun Filet Biscuit w/ BoFires and a large sweet tea...backed by two BoBerry Biscuits....BoJangles rules!!!! Sorry if they're not in your area...This is the South....we get special privileges......Ben and Jerry's/Willie nelson's Peach Cobbler in the freezer.....then it's back to dieting....and watching for that dang dog....

Dern tootin' they're dangerous Five...When I arrived at the beach the Sprint tower had taken a shot...No cell and no interweb...Smoke was hanging in the air during the rain the other night...Last year lightening caught a peat bog afire and it burned for months...With all the water in the ground a hurricane now would blow a lot of trees down...Dang weather needs to calm down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I have come completely unglued since I got home from errands. Katie's drama I can usually walk away from, but she tore into me a bit ago and I let her have it with both barrels :(

Yesterday I put her brand spanking new ac unit in her window, got all the safety screws in, weather stripped, running like a champ. Last night she turns it on at bedtime and says it's not cooling, so I go in and look...she has it on fan only, I fixed it. A few minutes later she comes in my room again...the ac unit is too loud. Go in her room and turn it from hi to low. A few mins after that she comes in my room ranting that it's too loud, her old ac was better, she just can't sleep with all that noise. This ac is whisper quiet...she's just in a mood.

This morning I asked if she wanted me to take it out and put her old one in (which weighs about 60lbs) and she says no, she'll "manage." So I'm out the door to cash my check, pay my car taxes, and she asks me to get milk and butter while I'm out. But she can't have just any milk...it must be Hood brand and I have to go several miles out of my way to get it. Went to BJ's to get my stuff, they had her "I can't believe it's not butter" so I got that. Decided I didn't want to drive to the other side of town just for Hood milk, so I grab a gallon of Land of Lakes milk at BJ's.

She went postal when I got home with a different brand of milk!! Started yelling at me about living here like I own the place, running my ac and computer 24/7, mooching, etc. I'm not proud to say it, but I just lost it on her. Threw $40 at her for the electric bill, said some things I usually swallow about being her slave labor here...wow, just wow :(

Deep breath, some comedy while I eat lunch, and I'll hold my head up and keep marching forward.

Wow Bovina! Sorry to hear this. It is abuse! I keep thinking about "throw momma from the train".
I just ordered some Nature flavor Carrot cake. (Not for me-for sure) Anyway, Bovina I forgot your method of evaporation. I tried the NF before but did not evap them. I ended up tossing out my mix. Not a biggie since I ordered small samples. This time I think I will do a complete evaporation method. Or somewhat close to it. The ethyl alcohol taste funny. Thanks and yes I am diverting your attention. :)

Sdh,

I sent Bov a sample of Purple Haze with the NF flavorings I DIY'ed and an actual bottle from the vendor so she could see the difference, and what we are talking about with that NF funkiness. We're not alone girl. She saw!!!! hahaha blech! I think I'm going to try her suggestion as well with this grape and eg tea, heck, it can't make it any worse!!! :)

I don't know what the vendors who sell these flavors as premixed are doing. They would have to evap for sure. It is the only logical explanation to why people use Nature flavors. Ha! Or they must love the ethyl alcohol taste. I am also thinking they are putting additives in such as vinegar, lemon juice and so on. I sure wish I knew the super duper secret.

Didn't Salem say she uses their extracts or something besides the coffee and tea flavorings? Anyway, yes I noticed it in Tracy's diy PH. The vendor PH was yumilicious, but the NF one...well I couldn't finish the tank of it LOL. Noting bad on Tracy's part, it was the flavoring. Other people notice it in the Caramel Cream, but I don't, and I still love that flavor.

Sdh, you will get a good laugh out of this...when I first started diy over 2 years ago, I ordered the NF Carrot Cake along with my 2nd bottle of the CC. Of course back then everything had to be mixed with at least 20% flavoring, so I mixed the Carrot Cake at 20%..

On the home front, I told Katie I'd mow the yard after my nap. Woke up at 6 and the whole yard was already done! And yes I know she's abusive, most of the time I just vent about it here, but sometimes I pop my cork like today. I have never believed in fighting just for the sake of saying something hurtful. People fight and bicker, but fight fair to solve the issue. If you are fighting to hurt, you've already lost. Compromise is a difficult concept for some people.
