[A Friend of Charlie]

Afternoon, muchachos. Back from the non-commie east side of the state. Lovely Labor Day weekend and we beat the return traffic so easy return trip. Only smoked one cigar - a cheapo that was gifted to me but wasn't half bad - but did a lot of drinking and a lot of laughing with family

Well done, Raz.  Sounds like fun.

It was. If I may be forgiven for boasting a little, the Holtz clan has a reputation for being fun to party with, so it was a bit of a riot. Half the neighborhood around my brother's lot showed up to hang out. I bought up a third of the stock of the local tortilla factory, we made blistering hot pico de gallo, roasted jalapeños and habaneros, barbecued ribeyes, and my sons made shrimp that was to die for. All my nieces demanded that I perform all the songs I've written for them, and we drank fine liquor and made campfire pies. Good times.

That sounds awesome.

Evening men. Taking a break on a pleasant NJ evening with a V Melanio.

See?  Jersey ain't so bad.  If only they had less assholes living there.

Even better if they would quit moving South!

oops....

Afternoon Raz, glad you had a good weekend and made it home safely.  That is ok Tony is a dumbass too and did not take any cigars on vacation.

Well, since my dad and step-mom weren't at this event, I wasn't expecting to have an opportunity for cigars so didn't take any. But then one of the clan's Septs  showed up and he'd brought cigars. He apologized profusely that they weren't "the quality you're accustomed to," so I had to smoke one to be polite while we grilled steaks, and it really wasn't a painful experience. It helped that I was on three double whiskeys and grilling a really beautiful steak, but it really wasn't a bad smoke. One of those no-name cigars with Cuban in the name, but I've had Gurkhas that would have been far worse.

Nothing wrong with Gurkha's when you are in the middle of nowhere and don't have a cigar and someone gives you a free Gurkha to smoke.  They are a good value at $0

Yea, 100% is about my Cheapo Beano target point for them.

For those of us old enough to remember :

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Martin Milner, whose wholesome good looks helped make him the star of two hugely popular 1960s TV series, "Route 66" and "Adam-12," has died.

He was 83. "Adam-12" co-star Kent McCord, who spoke to Milner's children, said Milner died Sunday near the La Costa neighborhood of Carlsbad, Calif. He said the family is doing well, but gave no other details.

That was a good show. Remember the spinoff "Emergency". " Rampart General, we have a code this-and-that! ".

Oh yeah, both good shows in the day.

My sisters had the hots for that skinny dark haired EMT.  I sorta liked that head nurse, Dixie McCaul. A nurse with a stripper name. I'm sure that was completely unintentional.

It was the hair.

And that top blouse button threatening to pop loose.  Dixie, you tease!

I'll be reloing in a couple of years....

You were edumakated in the South and got family in SC and GA so you got some credentials to bring with you.

How could good cigars not be a part of that?

Well, and the guy who gave it was in the process of inviting me out to go bird-hunting with him and his prize-winning Viszlas in October, so I wasn't about to flip him shit. ;-)

All that matters is you were not working and you were enjoying life, location is otherwise not important.

What's a campfire pie?

You take homemade cinnamon bread, stick it in a cooking iron with long handles, dollop in some homemade applesauce, close the irons, and the kids hold the irons in the fire. Pull them out when done, dust them with powdered sugar, and consume with copious amounts of local muscato.

Warden came out to get on my nerves but that did not last long after she got on my nerves in under 15 seconds she was gone within 30 seconds more.

97 degrees and she comes out sits down and says it is hot out here.  No Fuk'n shit, really?  Never said another word just stomped back in the house.  Ahhh peace and quiet again.
