Found the Montecristo Platinum in the humidor tonight. Guess it wouldn't fit into the bag while still in its tube, but then forgot to pack it when I sent it off:smiley6:

There is a small tributary that runs near those. It connects with the Swatara that is the main one. It just backs up when flooding. East Pottsville street has more of them. Near where Wimbel was looking, I had my truck parked in a remote garage. That section of town, North End, had about 5' of water. It was up over my dash.:smiley18:

I'll get Wimbel packed up tonight, and that should be enough time, since it's a short run to Mizikie's.

Nice vid of the 4x4! Thanks again!

I haven't been on in awhile and it sure looks like Wimbel is having a grand trip. He will be one wounded warrior when the pass is all done.

I'm down in Florida and trying to sample 3 or so cigars a day and decide what I want to stock up on :).

'Badwhale' I'll PM my address, look forward to the sample

I'll get that in the mail, probably next week.

As for Wimbel, he got wrapped up last night, and shipped out today.:smiley20:

Thanks again!!!

Pass has arrived and all is in good shape. Wimbel is looking good despite his journey and the injury he sustained along the way.

Non-CC for CC trades?

Awww, hell.:smiley18:

I did CC for non-CC before you. There's no premium for age either. Wanna re-do your puts/takes ;-> ?

I guess I just thought in that direction it was ok?...actually, I guess I didn't even notice.

It's ok with me because I want the isom's to get around south of the border as they are harder for you guys to get and besides OpusX are MSRP on par with any ISOM as far as I'm concerned! So have fun and enjoy:smiley37:

Wimbel Joining me outside on Saturday night for a cigar, movie, and fire. Though Wimbel decided to stay away from the fire for some reason.

I taught Wimbel how grill some ribs.

Wimbel has arrived safely in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains at The Bed Store/Citizen Agency world headquarters. When I arrived this morning he was in the middle of laying down some sweet tracks.

Attachment 3424

The wife and kids are gone this week so Wimbel and I are going to be two wild and crazy guys about town exploring the greater Knoxville area. Should be fun!

Thanks also to badwhale for the bonus La Sirena's. I am a fan of those.

This morning Wimbel was laying down some vocal tracks, this afternoon he was just laying down.

Attachment 3425

Last night we hit the town.

Here is the little guy buckled up for safety.

Attachment 3427

Here we are in downtown K-town.

Attachment 3428

While in Knoxville, you have to go see the Sunsphere (A.K.A. The Wigsphere for any The Simpsons fans that may be here) from the 1982 World's Fair. It is by far our most worthless attraction.

Attachment 3429

Then we paid a visit to Neyland Stadium, where the Vols football team dashes the hopes of all Vols fans year in and year out.

Attachment 3430

Wimbel made friends with the Torch Bearer outside of Neyland Stadium. Wimbel didn't even mind that the guy is a flamer. As far as garden gnomes go, he is the most progressive and accepting I have ever known.

The it was to the house for a late cigar and beer before sleepy times.

Attachment 3432

Wimbel is a well traveled gnome now with lots of stories to tell about you guys. We pillow talked for hours.

We may sell all these cigars that came with him and hit the strip club tonight. :smiley37:

Only that's he's the most awesomest ever, and he wishes he was back in the coal region. Duh.

Hmm. What did Will and Wimbel do to rate Will being called the most awesomest ever?

I'm curious too. I took the little guy to see the Sunsphere and even after that he still thinks Will is the awesomest ever. It just doesn't make any sense. The Sunsphere, guys. I took him to see the freaking Sunsphere! How has that ever not been the awesomest thing ever since it's creation in 1982?

I'm not even going to dignify this with a response, so: :smiley29:

Welp, I'm going to spend another couple of days with the little dude, listening to story after story of how awesome bigwhale is. Then I will get him out and on his way to ashauler on Friday or Monday.

I was able to talk him out of selling the stash and going to the strip club so the cigars are still safe at home in my toiletadore.

I'll try to list my puts/takes for approval when I get home tonight.
