The herf went splendidly. Good smokes, libations and company. Sorry to say there were no white whale sightings.
Glad to hear it, Tony. How was the meatball/bacon/pepperoni pizza? The Southern Tier?
I had a 1.5 hour herf with NoVA Dave (CFest), two of his brothers-in-law (great guys), and a workmate of his, outside of a World of Biers ... had the Sierra Summer Camp Black Jack (?) and a nice Casa Magna Colorado CG ... then a friend invited me to share dinner with him and an older friend ... al fresco dining at a fine restaurant on the brick sidewalk of the Old Town of the colonial seaport of Alexandria, VA. Great food, slight sprinkles which was pleasant in cooling us off, and the heavy rain held off until we were in our respective cars heading home ... then all heck broke loose ... was on a multiple lane road near the airport and along the Potomac (GW Parkway) known for its ponding, and no place to pull over ... can't stop or you'll be rear-ended ... but the fastest setting of the windshield wipers wasn't enough and at times couldn't even see the road ... prayed like heck and made it home safely ... Only been driving in one worse storm. Anyway ... pulled the trigger on the Murcielagos ... turned out I had an account there at Atlantic from about 4 years ago (though I'm on their e-mail list).
