Today, I ran it in 15 minutes because I didn't want to be late for a meeting with my colleagues in The Hague. A leisurely stroll takes about 35 minutes. When I smoke, I take a circuitous route and it therefore varies depending on how long it takes for me to finish. On average, it's a 25 minute walk.Now I'm giving consideration to what cigar I might smoke on the way home. Perhaps an RP Decade Cameroon?Another solid choice. How far is the walk to the bus stop?

We've been dealing with Lowes for the big stuff, and while they have decent products, and good prices, getting the stuff actually to your door intact seems to be just beyond their reach. we are on our 3rd stove delivery. not THIS particular delivery, after the last stove delivery went bust with a damaged appliance, I called the manager and re-raised the roof (not the 1st time on this project) so he agreed to bring me a stove to use while they actually figure out how to get an undamaged one to me. Wait until they get my bill for all of the dinners we had to order out and the time we have both spent waiting for them to bring damaged appliances to us.damn Sam, that all really sucks.

I saw a big change especially in NY when they quit hiring qualified workers and started training in house, unions blocked and not supported, and a very lax work ethic. I sat in an interview with a kid in a tee shirt and pants falling off his hips. I told him to go home and come back when he looked presentable. my engineer chewed my ass out and said I would probably hear from HR. I did and when I claimed it was a safety issue especially when he'd be working for me they dropped it. the kid never came back.+1 also, I'm in the last group of baby boomers, admittedly one of the largest demographic groups in history in USA, and I'm going to retire in a couple more years (I Hope!) and i'm seeing a shortage of manpower, qualified or not, to fill positions as will be, probably already is, a shortage of labor since we didn't procreate as proficiently as our parents. couple that with the new atmosphere of bringing manufacturing back to the US and the problem compounds.We've been dealing with Lowes for the big stuff, and while they have decent products, and good prices, getting the stuff actually to your door intact seems to be just beyond their reach. we are on our 3rd stove delivery. not THIS particular delivery, after the last stove delivery went bust with a damaged appliance, I called the manager and re-raised the roof (not the 1st time on this project) so he agreed to bring me a stove to use while they actually figure out how to get an undamaged one to me.

I think, as a group, we failed overall to produce a decent round of worker bees. I'm sure some of us made our kids go out and get a job when they were in their teens, but most parents I were involved with let the kids stay home until they were in their 20's with no expectation of gainful employment. My kids all had jobs when they were 14, and all 3 of them not only gainfully employed, but hold good and influential jobs now. what I see is the kids who were given this ethic, will be the leaders and will have to figure out what to do with the ones who are still having trouble tying their shoes by themselves.I saw a big change especially in NY when they quit hiring qualified workers and started training in house, unions blocked and not supported, and a very lax work ethic.

while this may sound and actually be troubling in the short term (10-20 years) if we are truly as adaptable as everyone makes us out to be, the newer generation will figure out a way to redirect and change things to fit the new order. can't help the eternal optimism.

I wish it had passed me by, too. :PGive it up, Tony, this one has passed him by.Let's just say that when I build sauce with my hot Italian sausage, I'm not the one who does the ingesting.why, what's wrong with pasta, sauce, and sausage?I had pbj. building sauce with hot Italian sausage.It sure does. Even the jalapeño chips. Time for me to go find some grub too.Hmm, Ham & cheese samwich on a pretzel roll with ice tea and jalapeno flavored potato chips!
that sounds good.
If I didn't know better, I'd be repulsed by that statement.
I have company coming for dinner.

@LTG: Any OT this week?Oh my, yes. Super busy at work right now, and the OT is unlimited. Working a bit when I get home, then some more on Saturday after I hopefully hit the links, pending the weather report.

Won't have any next week, though, with the holiday. I'll miss the extra $, but it's nice to have a week where I don't have to work more than my normal shift.@LTG: Any OT this week?Oh my, yes.

Got the little boat out this morning and went cruising with the warden, very nice excursion. Water was calm enough to go offshore a ways where we found huge schools of dolphins surfacing. On the return we stopped and checked out the Georgetown Lighthouse and got in the water and cooled off a bit there.nice day Dave.

looks like the lighthouse is abandoned and in need of attention.

It was built in 1812 so rather old, automated about 20 years ago so no longer manned but it still operates .Got the little boat out this morning and went cruising with the warden, very nice excursion.

So they delivered the stand in stove, I took about 1-1/2 hrs converting it from natural gas to LP gas. then about an hr after that, the Lowes truck comes backing back in and the same guys get out saying they'd dropped off the wrong stove. I really wish I were imaginative enough to make this s**t up. needless to say I disappointed them by telling them it was already hooked up.Wow, now that is enough to piss you off!

Nice Tony! Sounds good!

I had one for a while, too, and enjoyed it. I did a work around for the CO2 supply, though. The retailers were getting ridiculous fees for replacement bottles. That worked well until the carbonator itself went tits up. Cheap design.Nice Tony! Sounds good!

If I didn't know better, I'd say this was Don Pepin Garcia stick. Lots of black pepper notes. Great cigar.
