Home from the hospital. All went well and the doctor says I should be clear for full weight on the leg in 48 hours. Can't smoke for 24 hours while the last vestiges of general anesthesia wear off. Back on Oxy, but doctor says it should only be for a few days. There is light at the end of this tunnel.
Good news Bret.  More physical therapy?
Yeah, but doctor says we should see rapid improvement now.
yes!

Not sure you'll be able to appreciate this from the photos but saw this on the way home this evening.  There are about 3000 cans connected by strings.  I realize they're not the kind of cans you're used to seeing on here.

It may not be burning as cleanly as the Monte I smoked yesterday but much tastier, imho.

id take a Monte White first, but the V is hard to beat.
I wasn't impressed with the Monte White but the draw wasn't great either.  I'll smoke another before I pass final judgement.  But as far as flavor profile I still like the V better.  You're allowed to disagree.

It's still Tuesday so we are required to disagree so the Monte is fabuloso and the V is over the hill.   :)Actually as I said last night I never tried a White but V's used to be a top 5 for me but they have changed and not what they use to be.

How about if it was an older/aged V?

I'm experimenting with a new feature that I'm excited to try at the flip.  Is it almost midnight EST?

CI delivery. Now I can post pix of my cigar purchases ;)
Were you having problems doing so, previously?
Oy, I was asking because I saw/fixed something earlier today that may have affected one's ability to post pictures.

no I'm still stuck on the old banter. Things move to fast here, I'm realizing I'm old and set in my ways, change is hard. I still find it hard to follow the conversations here, I can't tell who's posting. Ho, got to go, my stewed prunes are ready.
