Dropped the wife's car at a repair shop, one tire keeps losing pressure. Now we play the waiting game.

Slow leak can be easily repaired for cheap. No need to worry about that one.

Only if it's in the tread....

Yep, we had a screw in there. Told me it would take about 1.5 hours to get it in to look at it, it was done in less than 45. I'll take that W.

Word for today is eclaircissement.  (Winning word from Scripps spelling bee)

That's funny. I was just thinking, where did I just see that word, and remembered it came across my NYTimes feed. Hadn't bothered to look it up, however.

I'm gonna look it up now, but I'll be pissed if it isn't related to eating eclairs.

Kind of like when I watched "Three Body Problem" thinking it was about Ménage à trois.

LALTS. That was a good show, but definitely wasn't about what I thought it would be. Not that I thought it would be a sex romp, mind you.

I'm currently reading the third book in that trilogy.  Interesting, Very different style than I'm used to.  The second season whenever it comes out will be more "traditional" SyFy.   Looks like March 2026.

Looking forward to it.

Hey Tony.  Check with your inside sources and see if you can get me a box of these.  Please?

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Brad is my only inside source and these don't appear to be AJ sticks. I'll ask Charlie because he ultimately is the most knowledgeable cigar guy I know.

I know, they're EPC's, but in the business, might know a guy who knows a guy...

Brad's weird about non-AJ smokes. Charlie says Atlantic is the best bet. Charlie was also familiar with the cigar.

You know I know Atlantic, but these are non US release with the only domestics available at EPC events.

Ahhh. Now I understand the difference between Noir and Black. I'm assuming different blends? I'll continue to do some digging.

I guess I should have read the article instead of just looking at the pictures. My bad.

At the bottom of the article, they list this site which I'm unfamiliar with, but they seem to have it in stock:
