One box of 10 601 La Bomba Warhead II  5 1/2 x 56 for $62.95 left at Atlantic.

12 Honest Men box of 10/$69.95 in case you missed the Holts offer.

...and of course still a couple of Room 101's left.
12 Honest Men...10/box, really?
That's the way Atlantic sells it. They have to pull two sticks as commission.
Hey, I can't do this all for free...

Then add shipping on too.

But does it really matter since Holts had plenty to sell @ $60 with free shipping just last week.   Even with shipping the 101's are some nice deals though - BUT they raised the price on some of them.
Bundle up the order for retiredor storage and Atlantic is free too!  ....just a bit of a threshold.
True.

Retiredor project has reached the 95% saturation point and small quantities of limited varieties are about all that are left to fill in.  Took care of one of those yesterday, that is if a box is a small quantity.  Most of the things I am still searching deals on would be 5-10 in quantity unless it was a Padron 64 at some unbelievable deal.

Now my search is for a very nice cabinet humidor, still pissed at myself for letting a J.C. Pendergast get away from me over about $300 difference.

Speaking of the Retiredor:

1)  RETIRE:   275 Days

2)  Warden informed me while I was drinking over the weekend that her company had offered her another lucrative incentive package to stay longer........  but the time is months after I retire not years so it will work out ok if she stays and very likely she will.

"On average, those in the bottom 40% of the income spectrum end up getting money from the government. Meanwhile, the richest 20% of Americans, by far, pay the most in income taxes, forking over nearly 87% of all the income tax collected by Uncle Sam."

Sure wasting all that money on flying cars, should
have been investing in submersible ones...... Good morning boys..
Got back from visiting Gettysburg college,  It is finally dawning on wife & child
that we cannot afford $252,000.00 for a four year college education.  Not even
$152,000 after taking off the $25,000 a year Lincoln scholarship.  Explained to wife that her obsession
with buying timeshare every few years, put a huge dent in saving for college.  We did not need to buy a
forth time share for $18k(the cheapest so far) last August, even after me telling them we have to put
daughter through college.  After meeting with Financial aid, and them telling us
the Federal Government expect us to be able to put $31K into the pot each year.  the good news is
FDU offered her 30K a year scholarship, and another 3k in grants. I can swing the leftover 15K a year.
this September  It's only 8k more than I am paying now for high school.

on a different note, made oxtails yesterday, for the first time. browned them on all sides,
then sauteed a large onion, a shallot, some fresh ginger, and garlic. put three beers(1 expresso stout,
1 Killians red, 1 molson gold) in the pot, a Jamaican hot pepper (less the seeds), and some
spices.  returned oxtails to the pot (about 6lbs) some beef broth, 3 beef bullion cubes, and some leftover beef
gravy to the pot. RTB then Simmer for about 3 hours.  I liked it and my bartender/karaoke buddy Shadow,
inhaled it when I brought him some to the bar.  Of course when I put the packages on the counter, the wife said
what the hell is that, I told her oxtails, she said, "Me and Gabby wouldn't eat that!", I said, "No problem, it's
not for you anyway..."  8)
