Late Night in DIYland, take II

(hoping you aren't in Idaho)

I really hate that the forum won't let me upload any pictures without cropping the crap outta them

 

[Ace]

Lol. Never been. No plans to go. Private or otherwise.

What are you trying to upload? Anything good?

 

[flowerpots]

I'm in GA, so Idaho might be better lol

 

[Ace]

Nothing good. Just random. Although it has pissed me off several times.

 

[Ace]

I was in Georgia at one point. For like a half mile or so.

 

[rowdyplace]

I noticed that, must be a busy day for everyone. How're you tonight, Rowdy?

Fantastic, thank you!! And, yours??

I have spent the day building a new (larger) storage cabinet for my flavorings. I am combining several ideas I have seen on these forums. I bought a 6 drawer (drawer size = 12"x12"x3") plastic storage cabinet. I want to stand the little 8 ml bottles straight up. I'm trying to use Styrofoam sheets.. First I had to make a pattern for the holes. Then, devise a clean way to cut the holes in the sheets - once I found a way to cut the larger sheets into 12"x12" pieces. A knife tears and is ugly. So, I have been building a hot wire Styrofoam sheet cutter from "coil" wire and a power supply. The hole cutter took a coupla of hours to figure out. Now to power up the sheet cutter and cut sheets. Then, punch about 80 - 100 holes (one at a time) in these sheets - 4 of them. Tomorrow, move the individual bottles into their new home... add drawer labels...

Ok, that just may be more than you wanted to hear. But, it is cheaper than sitting in a bar drinking beer all day. I have $21 in the cabinet and $5 in the styrofoam. Everything else is recycled from my various junk bins.

This will make it easier for me to find and return stuff quickly as I start mixing the "Killa Vanilla" clone I am seeking. I have over 250 flavorings. (Overkill, you might say...).

A half mile? Was it by supersonic jet?

Nice, Rowdy. You sound very handy and talented, and resourceful if you did all that for $26. I've seen people use the styrofoam sheets too. I'm not sure what I'm going to end up doing for organization. I can't build anything though, so mine will have to be purchased.

You have more flavorings than I do, you would fall under the category of serious hobbyist.

 

[Ace]

@rowdyplace and here I don't even feel like re wicking

@flowerpots theres a highway going from the river (Chattahoochee I think) into Chattanooga. Passes just through the tip of ga.

More like obsessive...

Or did you cross the state line, then hang a hard left?

I know, right?! He's building and I'm not even motivated to clean my coils today.

Ahh ok, so a quick in n' out. Did you enjoy your stay?

 

[flowerpots]

Obsession is a good trait for any proper hobbyist.

 

[Ace]

Stayed in the cabins on the river for a fewvdays. Loved Chattanooga. Almost bought a house there but glad I didn't because the area was wrecked a year or 2 later during a hurricane or tornado or something.

 

[flowerpots]

By the way, never get in/on the Chattahoochee River. They have sewage running into it.

You like mountains? I suppose a real Scotsman would.

 

[Cramptholomew]

Hi everybody! I'm going to bed. Have a great time tonight!

 

[flowerpots]

Nite, Cramptholomew!

 

[Ace]

Lol. Didn't touch the water. But was a nice place to stay. My favorite part was probably Ruby falls, so I guess that would be the inside of a mountain.

 

[Ace]

Hi. Bye

 

[flowerpots]

I think only we Georgians do the sewage in the Chattahoochee thing.

You just won a special place in my heart with the mention of Ruby Falls. That was my most favorite place to visit as a child. We went there many summers. I can still remember the shaft elevator taking us down, and the gem-studded walls.

Where else did you visit in that area?

 

[Chowder]

Checking in!

 

[Ace]

Hmm. Drove to the holler outside new Pittsburgh where the ex's family lives (thank god there was no bald banjo kid on the porch)
spent a lot of time looking at houses. Making me think now...

 

[flowerpots]

Did you go to Sliding Rock? Lookout Mountain?

 

[Ace]

Lookout mountain and rock city...

 

[flowerpots]

Checking in!

Hey @Chowder

 

[flowerpots]

Lookout mountain and rock city...

Awesome! We have in our yard one of those See Rock City birdhouses. I love that area as well. Did you go to the dairy there, the Borden dairy?

 

[Ace]

Spent a bunch of time eating and visiting family

no dairy. Did that in Indiana (drove from Chicago to chatt.)

 

[Chowder]

Hey guys, this thread is looking like it's starting to give some posters some trouble. Question: do we start a thread dedicated to mixing with tunes called, "The mix while mixing", or try to stick it out here?

 

[flowerpots]

Did you fish for rainbow trout in the river?

 

[flowerpots]

Hey guys, this thread is looking like it's starting to give some posters some trouble. Question: do we start a thread dedicated to mixing with tunes called, "The mix while mixing", or try to stick it out here?

Oh, were people not liking our tune-spinning?

I think we could do that, yeah. I don't really care one way or the other.

 

[Ace]

Should probably do version III. I was thinking about that yesterday. We did sorta hijack this with our silliness

[Ace]

No fish.

 

[Chowder]

And no, I'm not trying to hijack the thread, just observing some are starting to have trouble with it.

I'm okay with V3. Sure, go for it.

 

[Chowder]

All in good fun though, and better mixing! This thread would still be viable for the OP intention. We just wouldn't put so much data on it for easier loading.

 

[flowerpots]

Trout fishing is kinda boring anyway, unless you fly fish, you didn't miss anything.

Excellent. Should we go to it now, do you guys think?

 

[Ace]

Sorry folks. Please go back to the regularly scheduled DIYland AND stop by the randomness too

 

[Chowder]

Nope Pots, this was your baby! I'm not stealing, but you could name it: Late night in FINLand, take III, The Mix While Mixing!

 

[RocketPuppy]

WAIT WHAT???? That's what this place is for. It can be random.

Man, I posted that 2seconds too late!

 

[RocketPuppy]

This thread is for anything. I find that I often have questions that don't belong anywhere else, and this is the place. Music along the way is good too.

 

[Ace]

It does get difficult when there's 50 videos onthe page.

[RocketPuppy]

=(

 

[flowerpots]

I think there was concern over the tune hijacking posts, RP. So, Chowder made a V3 for us.

 

[RocketPuppy]

Whatcha mean? It's getting hard to load?
