We moved out here to Oregon about a year ago now.

We LOVE it!

We had been in the Midwest for years and it’s so much more progressive out here. Way more like minded people and we don’t have to be afraid all the time because of cannabis.
Nice. I liked the West Coast. I miss the seafood. I was born in Seattle. But I'm in CO now. Less traffic here, and the people are nicer. People were nice when I grew up there, but it's gotten crazy. At least the Seattle area has.

I’ve really been enjoying the seafood! We’ve got it a few times even though my wife doesn’t eat it :). The traffic isn’t bad here, and the weather has been amazing. We are in a valley so we don’t really get much snow and it never got crazy hot in the summer because we are pretty close to the coast. The forest fires were a new and strange experience to face, but they never got scary close, so it ended up ok for us anyway.

Ya, the mild weather was awesome. Here it can be snowing one day, and 70 and sunny the next. I'm up in the foothills so it doesn't get real hot in the summer. 90 is as high as it's been up here, and that's rare. So we don't need AC here really.

I miss how green it is there too. Oh and the mountains are better. The coast has newer, steeper mountains. Oregon was one of the places I was willing to move, but we settled on CO since it's closer to my wife's family.

I almost ended up in CO years ago. I had a job lined up but couldn’t find a place to rent for an affordable price that wasn’t a tiny apartment. With a wife and kid I just wasn’t trying to do that. Really I’m very thankful I waited or I likely wouldn’t be were I am now.

Crazy how time flies. My girl is older than your girl was when we met up now. I bet yours is like a little woman these days. I remember seeing a picture of her from holloween a couple years back. It's great getting to see a bit of each others life on social media.

Things are good here. Still no passport. Wife got a job again for the first time since leaving CA back in early 2015, so she's super happy. She did not like the grind of working for herself. And we're all stoked because we have money again. Money doesn't equal happiness, but it sure makes being happy easier. Plus I just harvested a couple weeks back, so I actually have smoke. :) Yay... although I'm bummed because one of my two plants turned out to be a dud. It smells great, looks alright, and barely gets me high at all. Ah well.

So I am trying this method with around 60 grams of trim I used about 3 quarts of alcohol per step and did the run three times but then combined all my first wash, 2nd and 3rd wash runs together to evaporate off. It's taking a while.. I wonder if there is anything I need at the end since there is a lot more oil, to get the last of the alcohol out? Thanks!

I've done a few bigger washes that definitely took longer to evap then just a single uart does. I would usually move the dish around every few hours to keep things in as thin a film as possible to evap well. I feel like with the moving air over my dish I've always gotten a complete evap, sometimes it just took a little longer. If it was crazy humid out it took a little longer for the last of the water to finish evaping too.
