Cold Trap

Have ya’ll been coveting a cold trap for capturing your solvent when cold boiling under vacuum, before it floods your vacuum pump crankcase

Check our project at: http://skunkpharmresearch.com/1845-2/ , where we are making one out of copper tubing and a stainless sanitary spool!

New Floor in Skunk Shack

Whoooooop, whoooooooop, awhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!1  A new industrial strength vinyl floor in the skunk lab, compliments of Alpine flooring!

Alas, our finished floor slab was not smooth enough, even sealed with floor paint, to keep reputably clean.  Rather than continuing to scrub stains in low spots and repaint the floor, we decided to have a easily cleaned vinyl floor installed and as serendipity often happens around here, at that moment enter George, owner of Alpine flooring, who offers to install a floor himself pro bono, out of remnants.

Hee, hee, hee, got my tall pointy ears right off and of course I did a professional job of helping him install it, by staying out of his way and offering sage advice and encouragement.

Wow, what can I say other than George was so fast and good, he made skim coating the floor and installing the vinyl look easy, not to mention that the price was sure right and it was a kindly thing to do.  I’m definitely contacting George at george@alpineinc.org for my next flooring job.

Maggie and sweet Lola did their part of course, christening the new floor with muddy paw prints within minutes of its finish!

Feb 8th Truffles and 23rd BHO Classes a success!!

Whoop, Whoop, Awhoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1  Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark, snort…………..  I just love assemblies of folks who are serious about the subject and attend to both learn and share!!

Good enthusiastic and knowledgeable MMJ group from CA, WA, and OR, who also shared with us and each other, so as usual, it ended up being an intellectual exchange, with good contacts made by all.

Good eats too, with deli cuts and designer bread for sandwiches and Eloquentsolution’s delightful soup!

We limit class size to (10) and the Feb 23 BHO class filled quickly, as has the March 8th BHO class.  So far there are only (4) signed up for the July BHO classes, so if you covet taking one of them and are not a gambler, it might be prudent to send in your application, using the form at  http://skunkpharmresearch.com/skunk-pharm-research-classes/ ,as soon as possible.

2012 in review

A round of applause to the WordPress.com stats helper monkeys for preparing this 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 170,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 3 years for that many people to see it. This blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
