Good morning. I’m surely glad it’s Friday. Been having some weird problems with my car lately. Took it into the shop Tuesday and there’s a problem with the programming for the tire pressure monitoring system and I need new sensors too.

Just replaced the TPMS sensors on one of our cars.. $750.00 :rolleyes:

    Somewhere between here and there
    Morning, mixers.

    A bit warmer here for the next few days, above average but not in the broil setting. Still no rain. Or floods!



    Yeah, 2:56 AM I hope I'm still asleep!! :lol:


    Yours, or company car? Heck, I could see TPM on the spare, since it's rarely checked until it's needed, but not if they don't put a sensor in it!!

    Yep, for when the car programming goes snarky...

    Company car. They said if they can’t reprogram it then an instrument cluster would be $1000 parts and labor. We aren’t going to do that.

    Mine was quoted at $500

    Always something. We had 4 cars until recently, now have 3 and only one (mine) is working properly atm.
    We had 4 cars for years. I have a truck but liked to have a car as well. We always had old vehicles and drove them until they died.

    Last one was a Chevy Prizm inherited from MIL. Low miles but she hadn't treated it well. The wheels rims were dented from hitting kerbs after she should have stopped driving so the tires all leaked. So many problems the list would take 2 pages. The engine sounded like it was about to explode. I decided to keep driving it until it died but it refused to die. Last winter I hit a big pothole and killed a tire. Drove home on a flat tire. Still got $800 at auction.

    Had a nice Civic. Great engine. But the door locks didn't work, the interior linings fell off, hole in the floor so it was wet inside, numerous other minor problems. Sold it to daughter's boyfriend for $1500 last year. He fixed it up himself and sold it for $3500. He felt guilty and told daughter not to tell us so she called us 5 mins after he left her house. Didn't bother me at all.

    Now we just have my 98 S10 and an Explorer.

    I have 3 blueberry flavors that have been sitting around unopened for months. Never made blueberry before because I used a one-shot mix. Looking for suggestions on %'s. I chose them based on posts here, maybe from @ShowMeTwice.

    They are TFA Blueberry Extra, Flavor West Blueberry, Wonder Flavors Blueberry Jam.

    There was some good discussion about blueberry mixes here a few months ago, made a half hearted effort to find the posts but I was defeated by laziness. Help.

    I mixed one new one to fill my divider and one I mixed before. When I went to put the old one down I noticed 2021 on a label in the drawer. Took that out to dump and picked up another that was 2021. I thought I'd have to dump them all but only 3 were old. The rest are recent 2023. I'll have to remember they need to be vaped.

    The only blueberry flavor I have is FA Blueberry Muffin. I last mixed it at 1.5%. At that percent it holds it's own in a mix.

    For me, blueberry flavors are kind of, ummm, iffy. Tried many of them several years ago and thought they were fake tasting compared to blueberries in real life. That is, until I bought FA Blueberry Muffin. The blueberry in that flavor tastes like real ones to me.

    Fran posted these blueberry notes for the TFA's this last April. Hitt posted this recipe in January. And Dennis posted this recipe last July.

    If interested, here is my most recent Blueberry Muffin recipe. Pretty sure I never posted it in the thread.

    Blueberry Muffin v4

    FA Blueberry Muffin 1.5%
    FW White Cake 2%
    WF Crumble Topping 0.7%
    WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.5%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 1%
    INW Custard 0.75%

    Cars have way too much programming nowadays.

    Yup, too much programming.

    Lets see... new vehicles have Blueteeth, WiFi, stream this and that. Then hack and reprogram a vehicles computers.

    Hmmm, pretty soon people will need a college degree to program and drive their cars.

    Me? All I want is a decent used Jetsons car and an AI robot to program things for me. :w00t: :lol:

    As I said at that time, I can't taste blueberry flavors.

    probably will do a couple 2 flavor mixes with some of the new WF's

    @dennism, sorry, I don't remember if I answered you yesterday or not (and LOL, I'm too lazy to look back).

    I did 2% each on WF's pudding milk chocolate and ice cream dark chocolate.
    I remember. You did answer.

    Okay, thanks. :) I also did another SFT with pudding milk chocolate at 3%. LOL, I vaped most of the one I did at 2% already.

    I think it's pretty darn good as a single flavor.

    Will be looking forward to your thoughts on both.

    Since you're not going to look back I'll tell you again that I'm glad you said the chocolate isn't that dark tasting because I don't care for dark chocolate.
