Good morning everyone...!

Good morning BD!

How is the world treating you Sam...?

There is a Chinese curse that reads "may you live in interesting times"  world is "interesting" at present.  You?

My wife is off today, and I'm trying to figure out what we can do without me getting into trouble.

San Lotano makes a Connecticut, Habano, and Maduro.  They also make the same (I think) in a box pressed Oval.  Is there any difference in flavor between the box pressed Ovals vs the non-box pressed...?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the oval and the box pressed are two completely different cigars and they do not make all the same sizes in both.  They are both very good,  the oval is a bit better to me.

I see the difference in the sizes, but the flavors look the same to me..?  I also noticed they make a San Lotano Oval Habana 2000.  I've only had one or two cigars with the Habana 2000 wrapper, and I believe I enjoyed both of them.

I would say that there is a nearly uniform like  for both regular San Lotano and Ovals.  Don't think you can go wrong with anything in the line.

I have boxes of each in both maduro and habano in the retirement tub if that tells you anything.

You can always go for an instructional drive in the car.

In the back of my mind I'm thinking, "if they go on sale, and they are not the Ovals, would I still buy them...?"  I think I probably would.

She wants me to get gas in her car today.  It's down to 1/2 a tank, and she's afraid that if we have a snow storm she will not have enough gas to drive the 1 mile to work.

yep. don't want to take any chances. probably get 30 mpg... so that's cutting it close. 
...and more chance to freeze up when it gets that low. 

She likes to worry, doesn't she.

She  just likes to worry you.

For Christmas I received a NPower 2.5 watt Amorphous Solar Panel Battery Maintainer.  Some times I don't drive my truck for a week or two, so I thought this might help maintain the battery during the cold weather.  You set it onto the dashboard and plug it into the cigarette lighter.  It comes with 2 connectors.  One for the cigarette lighter, and one with battery clamps.  The problem is, when you plug it into the cigarette lighter, there is no way to know if it made a proper connection in the lighter socket.  So I went to Harbor Freight and bought a cheep $6 multi-meter.  Now I can disconnect the lighter end from the solar panel, plug it into the cigarette lighter, and use the multi-meter to make sure it's getting a connection.  Then plug it together and sit it onto the dashboard.  When I first tested it, the meter read 12.3 v.  After a couple of days it read 12.7 v.  Now to see how it does..

If she only worried about me that way, we would have had a happy marriage.

I guess it won't charge on those days.  I've always been fascinated with solar panels, so I thought it would be fun to have one.
