No, the site isn't closed. It's just that our regulars don't post all that much on the weekends. But don't be shy. If you know of any cigar deals on the various internet sites that are worth talking about, go ahead and post it. Even if it isn't about cigars, go ahead, you've got nothing to lose. In fact, you practically will have the entire site all to yourself. But be warned that if you are somehow able to get our attention, we're a spirited lot.

Could be a factor but not dealing with excruciating pain probably has more to do with it.

Good morning, boys.

Exactly why I got a Shield with a safety for a pocket gun! :o
He probably feels like a real ding-dong.
A Florida man could end up facing charges after he accidentally shot himself in the penis, according to local reports.
Cedrick Jelks was rushed to a Jacksonville hospital Friday after he unwittingly sat on a loaded gun in the driver's seat of his car, police said.

I used a 2 ton floor jack and 2"x4" at the T connection. Slow and easy. Wasn't sure how strong the connections were. Bridge jacking with 100 ton hydraulic jacks is easier, although more prep required. Hard to figure jacking loads on a pool when you have no idea about the strength of the T connectors.

Gun in holster, no problems. And what kind of moron leaves a gun sitting on the driver seat of his car?
The kind that gets shot in the dick.
Afternoon gents. Church gig is done. Now I'm exhausted. Time for a drink and a short smoke. And a nap.
