It's Tuesday again! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Today is Tuesday, May 15, the 135th day of 2018. There are 230 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On May 15, 1968, two days of tornado outbreaks began in 10 Midwestern and Southern states; twisters were blamed for 72 deaths, including 45 in Arkansas and 18 in Iowa.

On this date:

In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, married her third husband, James Hepburn, the Earl of Bothwell, who had been implicated in (but acquitted of) the death of Mary's second husband, Lord Darnley.

In 1776, Virginia authorized its delegation to the Continental Congress to support independence from Britain.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an act establishing the Department of Agriculture.

In 1918, U.S. airmail began service between Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York.

In 1928, the Walt Disney cartoon character Mickey Mouse made his debut in the silent animated short "Plane Crazy."

In 1930, registered nurse Ellen Church, the first airline stewardess, went on duty aboard an Oakland-to-Chicago flight operated by Boeing Air Transport, a forerunner of United Airlines.

In 1948, hours after declaring its independence, the new state of Israel was attacked by Transjordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon received a hero's welcome from President Dwight D. Eisenhower and other well-wishers on his return to Washington from a violence-marred tour of Latin America. The MGM movie musical "Gigi," starring Leslie Caron as a young French courtesan-in-training, was released.

In 1972, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace was shot and left paralyzed while campaigning for president in Laurel, Maryland, by Arthur H. Bremer, who served 35 years for attempted murder.

In 1975, U.S. forces invaded the Cambodian island of Koh Tang and captured the American merchant ship Mayaguez, which had been seized by the Khmer Rouge. (All 39 crew members had already been released safely by Cambodia; some 40 U.S. servicemen were killed in connection with the operation.)

In 1988, the Soviet Union began the process of withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, more than eight years after Soviet forces entered the country.

In 1998, hundreds of looters died inside a burning shopping mall in rioting that laid smoking waste to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, addressing the Israeli Knesset, gently urged Mideast leaders to "make the hard choices necessary for peace" and condemned what he called "the false comfort of appeasement." California's Supreme Court declared same-sex couples in the state could marry - a victory for the gay rights movement that was overturned the following November by the passage of Proposition 8, which was ultimately struck down by the courts. Emmy-winning composer Alexander "Sandy" Courage, who created the otherworldly theme for the original "Star Trek" TV series, died in Pacific Palisades, California, at age 88.

Five years ago: Under mounting pressure, President Barack Obama released a trove of documents related to the Benghazi attack and forced out the top official at the Internal Revenue Service following revelations the agency had targeted conservative political groups.

One year ago: The United States accused Syria of executing thousands of imprisoned political opponents and burning their bodies in a crematorium to hide the evidence. The Supreme Court shut the door on North Carolina Republicans' effort to revive a state law that mandated voter identification and scaled back early voting, provisions that a lower court said improperly targeted minority voters.

If it's a taller gazebo and a gas fire pit, probably not a problem.

Heck, just put a liner in the back of the pickup.
Good idea, can't get any more portable than that.

Install that next to the gazebo with a couple of empty buckets within reach.  Just sayin'.

good morning Tony. good morning guys as you arrive. it's GFY Tuesday! woohoo!
Nat Sherman maduro robusto and coffee. meeting with the redhead for lunch; contractor and zoning officer coming over about issues with her gazebo plans with firepit.
Gazebo!  I knew it would only be a matter of time!
yes, but I'm just the consultant.
For now
I physically can no longer work. besides, she has MONEY and can afford the best. this contractor designed what she wanted with the firepit in the center. that concern is being addressed with the zoning officer. a more complicated and intricate gazebo than my skills entail.
Fire pit in the middle of a gazebo, what could go wrong?
contractor spoke with Fire Chief who came up with a few suggestions on fire retardant materials, fire brick, spacing, etc., and readily available extinguishers.
It sounds beautiful. Post lots of photos.

Don't see how that can put out enough heat for the hot tub....unless you put it next to the fire pit under the gazebo.
Not sure it'll need much help warming up the water in FL. The sun will get it most of the way there.

EDIT: But to be fair, the reviews on it are pretty good.

the hot tub is for me. the back story is: my rheumatologist in NY said my insurance would pay for a hot tub for my RA, only the insurance company didn't cover portable units. when you rent it's difficult to have landlord approve a permanent hot tub inside. what the hell, I have a few extra bucks, my RA is still kicking my ass, and I'm sure a lady or two would like to join me once in awhile.

I would have to eat a home cooked meal, I didn't make, for that to happen.
My new lung doctor says xray shows possibility of the "C-word", but since i don't have the
sudden weight loss and the coughing of blood, he wants to double check.  When I got that news was
