Sounds easier than I thought!!

I had a thought. One friend of mine has been saving his leftover dry vape material, saying "I know there is a use for this stuff". And I bet he has a pound or more of it, probably a few pounds...they are heavy all day long vapors!! It seems like you could make cannabutter from it, and it's already been decarbed in the vaporizer. There's definitely some THC left, often quite a bit, when dry vaping, so why not? Anyone done it??

Yup and it was quite potent but it had a popcorn flavor to it I didn't like.

I changed to a double boiler pan, lower temp for longer and don't stir, using a colander and a bowl to press.
Also use way less water like >2:1 with the double boiler since you are not evaporating it off from direct heat.
Then filter again thru a finer mesh strainer if needed. Cheesecloth is a pain for me.

Do the last hard press on the material in a separate bowl, use that for the brother-in-law's batch of cookies.

Well I read and read and read some more the past few weeks, and I am ready to attempt to make a batch of extract using dry ice for a super cooled QWET wash tomorrow. My Everclear is already chilling, and I'll decarb in the a.m... Science has never been so exciting to me before...and I love the fact that you can actually make shatter out of this stuff with a little further purification....but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. I could very well end up with a bottle of green hand sanitizer, lol.

Oh yeah. A friend told me it still had activity so I dumped some (~5-6 tblsp) in a small batch of pasta sauce. Whoa! Put me under the table.

I froze my ass off crawling around in the snow in the driveway to put tire chains on my ladies car because she can't drive in the snow without them and had to go to work. She's a chronic floor it when your tires spin and slam on the brakes instead of tapping them. I've been over the technique with her so many times that I've given up and go straight for the chains as that way everyone on the road will be much safer.

I've even been in the car when she started to slide and told her to turn into the slide and lightly tap the brakes. She does the opposite and then spins the tires trying to drive out of it. I can't get her to understand the dynamics of driving in the snow.

I know. That's why I bought her chains for the few days a year we might get some snow. I want her to be safe. And anyone near her when she's driving. I won't get into the rest of her driving. Lets just say that when we go anywhere together I usually do the driving. She scares the hell out of me. I try not to be a backseat driver but there are some pedestrians that are lucky I was. Fortunately she only has a couple miles of 30 mph city streets to drive to work.

Rent some snowmobiles for a few days in the hills.
It's amazing how you can just feel the ice and traction and know what's gonna happen after experiencing every condition, over and over.

But I hate the snow. We rarely get enough to matter but even then I don't like it. Snow belongs in the mountains for me to see if and when I want to. Gave up snowboarding because of my dislike of snow. I'd much rather be wakeboarding on the water in the summer on a 90°F day. I don't play in the snow.

At some point, getting cold and doing it all over again just isn't fun.
I liked crossing the huge frozen lakes, with open inlets, ice ridges, camping in the drifts, and awesome ice quakes on the lake.
Right up there on the adrenaline scale with downhill skiing, but still too cold. A bucket of warm sand on my feet sounds way more fun than an adventure.

The power went out about an hour ago so I was able to test out my generator and plan.

The generator fired right up. I ran the extension cords, plugged everything in and then the power came back on in under an hour. At least I got to go through the drill for real. :mrgreen:

My plan is freezer, refrigerator, cable, computer, router chargers for devices. I have a kit I put together. It all worked out. The generator didn't give me any issues trying to start. It's just 3500 watts but plenty to power what I listed.

Most exciting thing for days.
