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.

Another showery day, some thunderstorms possible though. I might be able to use my storm spotter skills if they get rolling good. So far there hasn't really been enough rain to make a dent in our deficit. At least I got the wife's Dr appointment changed to a virtual so I don't have to drag her out there today. Mornin.

I lost ethanol down the drain but still had pretty decent recovery while using it alone.

The most painful part was having to sit in front of it for the bulk of distillation. You add ice, the distillation speeds up. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat......................Lol

i tried my badass chiller/heater and that vac pump you recommended, which i had got, but it was also a pain in the ass to setup everytime. This was in my kitchen lol.

Muffin mix has so much sugar in it. My recipe uses a half tablespoon for several large waffles.

it sounded like a fun idea, but in practice, I prefer to know what goes into my daughters food.

I have a gigantic swollen lymph node under my chin on the left side. I feel like shit. Vaccinated and got a negative covid test.

do I have lymphoma and am I dying?
@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.

((Sam Elliott Voice)) Hello Bob

I've got some good news for you. If you're willing to trade, I'd be more than happy to shove some needles into that swollen neck of yours. Not sure if it'll fix anything, but will both know whats,,,what afterwards. Im offering my services in trade for this VHS tape you speak of. I like sign language and I like naked people. Dont care much for signatures or robocop if were being honest. Also, the top side of my hand where its fleshy, near the pinky. Is the worst tattoo I've ever received. Not sure what the good news was, but lemme know Schmeckle, lemme know.

((Stop Sam Elliott voice)) For real though Bob, those to little designs/dots on the side of my hand were FUCKING RIGHTEOUS!!!! I'd do my whole body over again before those two dots..
