HERF Update, kinda:

Ken is back (duh).  All the cigars are here (hooray).  KC, Jeff, Tony, TD and myself all have Cuabas. 

Ken said he was sending out all of his cigars to people today.  I didn't talk to him yet and see if everything made it out and everyone is notified/etc.   But I'm assuming it is and that everything will go perfectly fine, because I'm feeling optimistic tonight. 

That being said.  I know Ken is leaving again in 2 weeks.  So that's what, 8-13 or so.  I was thinking the herf could be the Friday, Saturday, or Sunday before then (8, 9 or 10).  That gives enough time for the Cuabas to get to everyone and then get a few days to rest from the heat/humidity travel shock. 

If we don't do it then, I'm not sure how long Ken will be out on the rig, but I know KC has the KW run in September and so on and so forth. 

So let's just herf next weekend because that's easy.  Block off 4 hours and tell your wife/kids/dogs/etc too fucking bad, this is important tobacco.  Unless the house is on fire or something.  Then you should move away so you can better enjoy the Cuaba without the whole fiery debris falling around you thing.

It's a good thing I woke up because I forgot I was on "Tooth Fairy" duty tonight for two of the kids.  Is it normal that it should stress me out the way it does?  Anyhoo, mission accomplished without detection and it's back to bed for me.
