How was the ride?

It was an adventure, thanks for asking. SO many people out, but it was windy and cold being right off the water. Half a mile from the lake was almost 70, but it was about 55 lake side. Cold for riding the scooter, but would have been perfect if I were exerting myself by pedaling a bike. On the way home, I came to a red light behind a bus and lifted my scooter onto the curb when my rear motor wheel just came off! It seems that I lost some screws to some brackets along the way that kept the rear wheel secure in its grooves. I thought, "shit, what now?" I could call an Uber SUV to bring me home for about $60, or I could walk it 8 miles home. I put the wheel back in place and secured the axle screws with my fingers. Hardly secure, but... After walking it a few blocks, I had the crazy idea to just drive it home slowly while seated. I was fully padded up, so I was prepared to take a spill. To my surprise with my weight holding the wheel in, I made it all the way home. Who knows how long those bracket screws were gone??? I hardly ever lift my scooter while riding. It could have been MUCH worse. Anyway, I gotta start doing pre-ride checks, like every manual ever suggests. TLDR I know, but you asked.

@curious2garden

on the plus side it’s gotten me out of a few days at work so that’s cool.

I’m tattooing the top of one of my hands tomorrow. I’m running out of room. I donot think they can fire me for it, but if they do I Wouldn’t Even care. Haha

I should be trimming. But I don’t want to.

any new hotties around here? @Laughing Grass and my honeymoon period is over and now we just Argue about what we’re going to eat for dinner.

@Karah and @srh88 and me and my wife have been swinging pretty hard. Things are going pretty moistly.

@sarahJane211 I don’t mean this in a bad way, but you’re one weird fucker.

@Aeroknow is the man I’m gonna be making seeds with some gems he gifted me.

oh I have some funny news. I was on a mushroom trip and realized I was about to turn 40. My diet was literally only bread and cheese. I realized I didn’t want to hit 40 on a downward slope to being old and unhealthy.
about 6 months ago I cut out all fried foods, most carbs and all alcohol. I pretty much eat different soups and salads and nuts and chicken and fish. I’ve lost 34 pounds and I feel better than i Ever have!

for just 3 easy installments of 19.97 I will share my secrets to success in a VHS video I’ll send you. I also get naked and act out the entire movie robocop using sign language only.
send 3 extra dollars and I’ll send you and ice cream sandwich and I’ll autograph the VHS tape.

wouldn't be an argument if you'd kill the damn fish.

Butternut squash, ginger, chickpeas, chicken, 2 different kinds of kale, carrots (variety) mushrooms, cilantro, sweet potato, garlic, yellow curry powder, turmeric, cayenne and coconut mike with jasmine rise. Soooo Good. Love the instant pot!

That sounds delicious and very close to a Thai yellow curry I love although much more complex! I've been eyeing the stainless steel liner in the Instant Pots although my liner has held up well in my Ninja. I have a stove top pressure cooker I rarely use and couldn't understand the fuss about the electronics until on a whim I decided to try one and my Foodi changed my life! I made short ribs in 45 minutes last night. They are just so much easier to use, no monitoring and clean up is super simple.

I mean it doesn't do either one too well and they say a 2L rotovap is the biggest it can handle, for occasional use only, but that's why I thought it might work with the distillation set.

Most of my working life I had the luxuries of house vacuum and coolant lines. That made the rotavap quick and easy to use. One lab building where I postdoc’d had house vacuum but didn’t want those stinky organic chemists hooking their vaps to them!
So we used those blue recirculators. House coolant was allowed us, so we didn’t have to use ice except to charge the pump. Fortunately the big ice machine was only one floor down.

The best feature of a rotavap is speed. Once you’re set up and turning, stand back and watch recovered solvent pour off the condenser. The rotating action also takes you much closer to dry than a static distillation.
