Solo celebratory cigar

[BenjiM]

I have never been up to BJC, but I did my practical prep and checkride for my PGL @ Boulder. The cliff at the end of the runway there makes things interesting. Flew out to Freemont two weeks ago. The runway on a mesa is interesting.

I am going to try to be in Denver tomorrow afternoon/evening, won't have a lot of time, but I would enjoy talking planes over a stick.

This is all pending me passing my checkride tomorrow morning....

Tomorrow night is not good for me, but I can get together around noon or so. Leaving for Ireland on Thursday morning and I'm pre-bowling for the league I'm on in the evening. We're scheduled to be back on March 10th, so if we can't get together tomorrow we can do it when I get back. Haven't been hanger flying (or any other kind) in about 5 years.

Good luck on the check ride. I'll PM you my phone #.

I've got my own stash of WO's marinating just down the street on the corner. I'm just waiting for the price of gas to go down so I can afford them.

Shelby,
Didn't get done till 2pm. Maybe next time.

Checkride passed, off to Denver to get dinner and smoke a cigar at Stanley Pappas.

No problem - Glad the check ride went well.

Congrats on the checkride! How was the smoke? What'd you go with? How was Stanley Pappas? Did the lady leave you alone? She's really nice and I think they consider it to be good customer service to help you in the humidor, although it can be a little overbearing. But I still really enjoy smoking there.

Well the lady was not there this time. I smoked a RP decade toro. The tall black guy who I believe is "THE" Walter Davis was there. He left me alone entirely. I don't know how knowledgable he is but he cut and lit my stick just fine. It was pretty sick to sit there and listen to him talk about college basketball and Ali was pretty cool. The decade was pretty good. Checkride went fine.
