On this date:
In 1793, Frenchman Jean Pierre Blanchard, using a hot-air balloon, flew between Philadelphia and Woodbury, New Jersey.
In 1861, Mississippi became the second state to secede from the Union, the same day the Star of the West, a merchant vessel bringing reinforcements and supplies to Federal troops at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, retreated because of artillery fire.

In 1931, Bobbi Trout and Edna May Cooper broke an endurance record for female aviators as they returned to Mines Field in Los Angeles after flying a Curtiss Robin monoplane continuously for 122 hours and 50 minutes.
In 1945, during World War II, American forces began landing on the shores of Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines as the Battle of Luzon got underway, resulting in an Allied victory over Imperial Japanese forces.
In 1957, Anthony Eden resigned as British prime minister for health reasons; he was succeeded by Harold Macmillan.

Ten years ago: U.S. forces continued to stage airstrikes against suspected al-Qaida fighters in Somalia in the first offensive there since 18 American soldiers were killed in 1993. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, which went on sale the following June. Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Carlo Ponti, the Italian movie producer who discovered - and married - actress Sophia Loren, died in Geneva at age 94.
Five years ago: Iranian state radio reported that a court had convicted former U.S. Marine Amir Mirzaei Hekmati of working for the CIA and sentenced him to death. (The Obama administration and his family denied Hekmati was a CIA spy; Hekmati was released in Jan. 2016 as part of a prisoner swap.) President Barack Obama announced that chief of staff William Daley was quitting; he was succeeded by Obama budget chief Jack Lew. Former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame. No. 2 Alabama beat No. 1 LSU 21-0 for the first shutout in BCS title game history.

Nice watching the Golden Globes last night, wonder if there is anything good on tonight?

Had no idea. Junior Oscars?

But did he say it before or after he quit?

I don't understand the whole foreign press part. Are there award shows for movies and/or tv sponsored by the 'murican domestic press?

July 1969 according to the interwebs. Prescient.

Had a great smoking day watching football yesterday. Had an EPC Capa de Sol from NJDave followed by a La Mission 2009 and an Esteban Carreras Chupacabra Chupita which was a great little cigar.

No joke. That's even before Watergate happened. Makes it a more interesting quote.

That makes more sense. I'm assuming you brought the tv in for the winter from behind the barn door?

The EPC was excellent and I really like the La Mission line. I picked up the Chupacabra in Somerville and it was surprisingly good, even when the Giants were shitting the bed

Yes, last weekend. Figured that was all I was going to get out of it for the season. That said, it only takes about 2 minutes to re-hang and plug in

Somerville carries a number of Estaban Carreras. I tried one once and it was just meh. I'll have to pick up a Chupacabra the next time.

The stove burns @ over 600 degrees and we could still only get the garage to about 50 degrees, good enough to smoke but we need to insulate

You should try one of those Amish built portable fireplaces. They're pet friendly too. You don't want burnt Nachos.

Good day to you, Raz.

I've been waiting for it to show up on a Jam. There was a time when new AJ (and other) smokes showed up on jams as they were introduced to the inventory. Another positive fallen by the wayside.

Those things look pretty darn cool but I'm not sure I would light one in a garage unless it was 100% cinder block.

insulation is good too, inexpensive, and easy enough for Tony to do, after he fixes the holes in the dining room floor.

Ahhh, that's a different story. I was picturing an open barrel, no flue. I've seen them outdoors attached to a propane tank. Wouldn't want to light one of those in the middle of a garage.

I've met Andy, bro.
-
Had a great smoking day watching football yesterday. Had an EPC Capa de Sol from NJDave followed by a La Mission 2009 and an Esteban Carreras Chupacabra Chupita which was a great little cigar.
That fire pit is working out for you?
No this was in Andy's garage with his burn-barrel stove going
That makes more sense. I'm assuming you brought the tv in for the winter from behind the barn door?
The stove burns @ over 600 degrees and we could still only get the garage to about 50 degrees, good enough to smoke but we need to insulate
Those things look pretty darn cool but I'm not sure I would light one in a garage unless it was 100% cinder block.
You just described a bunker
My garage is cinder block but with a wood/shingled roof.

Put cement board on the walls where it sits in the corner, insulated flue pipe through the wall and up, all good
Ahhh, that's a different story. I was picturing an open barrel, no flue. I've seen them outdoors attached to a propane tank. Wouldn't want to light one of those in the middle of a garage.
We're not rednecks, sheesh
speak for yourself.

my follow up has been moved up to 7:30am tomorrow instead of Wednesday afternoon for a culture scrapping to see what is in my neck seeing how the ER only looked at it and prescribed antibiotics not knowing what it was. medical center not happy with the lack of 'minimal medical care'.

Correct. Which is why I don't have a fire pit in my garage. But I would if it were 100% block.

I insulated the garage when it was being built, both for the garage and because two of the upstairs bedrooms are partly over it.

Morning, muchachos.
Morning StillNotSleepingRaz.
Pretty much. Now the commute.
Hopefully you're in the van so you can get some sleep.
In the van, yes. But driving. I got plenty of sleep last night, just still at the wrong parts of the day.

It's one of those days.

It's blasphemy, I know, but I must stop buying cigars for a while. At least a month or two. Can't believe what I've spent on the damned things past 45 days.

At the rate it's going, I'm going to need to start using the bottom cabinet of my humidor for its intended purpose of storing boxes of cigars, rather than storing liquor.

Not nearly as much as on motorcycles and parts....or guns....

Enjoying an AJF Bellas Artes. Very tasty.
Was that the one I gave you or had you purchased more of them? I had completely forgotten I had bought a bunch and just found them.

But those are durable goods, with value-retention that rates from good to great. Cigars, not so much.

I haven't found anything on this. Room101 is pretty popular and although the brand is ultimately owned by Davidoff, not sure why the CEO of Room101 would just up and leave.
Usually when stuff like this does happen, they take a year or so off because of a non-compete clause and then come back again under a new brand.

True, but he's not a full time cigar person. He has all of his other Hollywood / jewelry / design interests he can spend more time on. Cigars was more like a fun pastime, that maybe isn't fun anymore.

I think the joke is that you and I need all the work done for us. Too lazy to find it on our own.
Edit: I'm more confused by Ogie's comment, "In other news, water is wet." Was Booth's departure a given? Obviously I'm not hip to all the goings on in the industry.
