[LordOfWu]

Is Daniel going to be at HMS this Saturday or Sunday? Hmmmmm, I wonder...yep, I feel an evil laugh coming on...

Yeah it was a damn fine day yesterday and if you believe the weather peeps.. it should be a wonderful weekend. Gotta get my Scooter up and running...:new_rofl:

Forgot to add I managed to set up a mini-herf while out in Vegas next weekend. Peter (Pnoon) will be there at the same time so I get to meet him. Then I get to meet the rest of the vegas crew in livewire, killjoy, and Scottishsmoker... Gonna be a good time! :sifone:

Hey you solo herf all the time in Wyoming don't you? It's not much different, there's just more oxygen so your sticks might burn quicker.

[opusfxd]

Ahhh, what a day! Cooked some blueberry pancakes for the kids which only one of them ate. Almost got into it with the Ex about her wanting more money and her lack of job. There were some high points, got to ride the bicycle for a bit before I shuffled off to HMS for a fine smoke and some conversation. There was a football game or something on the tvs.

I can't decide whether I want it to snow so the summer isn't so freakin dry or keep it like this on the weekends so I can get out more on the scooter and bicycles.

[moglman]

I'd be fine with some rain down here and snow in the mountains!

[LordOfWu]

I didn't go to Omaha after all, and I am quite glad I didn't! I am looking at being at Smoking Cave on Friday, possibly.

Up working until 2:00 this morning, then back in the office by 9:00! Working me like a red-headed step child, I'm tellin' ya!

[opusfxd]

Um, ick. Been there done that. Don't want to do it any more.

Something with January in the tech business ... I don't think I've gotten less than a 60 hour week all month. Including a rip-roaring good maintenance window at 2:00 am on New Year's Day.

[moglman]

We thought we lost you there, Travis. Welcome back to the sunlight.

It's going to take more than that to get rid of me! But thanks. Hopefully things calm down a touch. This has got to be the weirdest post-holiday month I've ever seen, and I've seen some weird ones.

Awesome to hear... a know a bunch of us were wondering where you disappeared to... that sucks that work has been killing ya... hopefully you will get fewer hours soon...

[tdp]

Oh it's all primed to slow down now, but given the economy and all that jazz I can't complain if work goes a little crazy here and there. It's still work.

Ye gods I need a cigar though. This weekend is good timing.

Ok that sucks more than Mert's deal. Who the FFFF makes you schedule maintenance on a holiday where there's no vendor support????? That is nowhere to be found.

[tdp]

Worst part is I scheduled it. We'd fired everything we had at a big switch to make it work right that week, and vendor finally gave up and suggested that maybe a reboot would keep it stable long enough to replace it. That was the 31st. So I scheduled an emergency window, went to pretty good New Year's party, didn't get too lit to type, popped the switch, watched it cry about memory corruption errors on reboot, opened an RMA, and went back to partying.

Good times. Beats Y2K where we all sat watching for something to happen and nothing did.

[zmancbr]

So I came home from the herf yesterday and checked CA for the first time in a couple days to find out I won the CA lottery for pool #3! What a perfect end to the perfect weekend! :D So I will have about 40-65 sticks inbound from the generous brothers at CA!

I mean seriously, doc sounded like I should be turning blue just by sitting up! Even better...could be that even if they fix all this stuff I could still have sleep apnea!! Yeah me!!

High sitting tounge... how long do you supose that someone pissed away to discover the "high tounge". Let me guess, it can be fixed with several thousand dollars.

So the PWQ hits 2000 and goes on vacation??? Where you at, Zack?!?

[tdp]

Ok, next time somebody tells you "Dude just try telemarking, it isn't that bad" realize that what they're saying is you're going to do squats and lunges down a hill for six hours straight.

Holy hell my legs hurt.

Helping a friend move on Saturday -- kind of last minute. I swear I wasn't this busy last year :(

[LordOfWu]

Geez, how late are you helping him move? Tell him payment for helping you move is a cigar and buy in to poker!

[tdp]

hah ... it will go late, I think. If things open up early I'll definitely be down.

Quitting cigs this week too, so if I do make it to play expect me to be a little distracted and fishy.

Sounds exactly what I went through in 04. My uvula now hangs on a keychain and not in my throat.

[tdp]

If fish don't smell like Camel Lights, probably.

[LordOfWu]

OK, it's official, tonsils are coming out, septum is getting un-deviated, and a couple of other equally painful procedures. Looks like the date is April 14th, so I'm gonna be smoking like a chimney up until then, since at least two weeks of no smoking after that.

{sigh}

:frown:

[moglman]

It's probably good that you're getting the work done now. You may have to stop the Jiu jitsu (or any of the other 10 ways to spell it) to protect your nasal investment. Is yours trauma or congenital?

[LordOfWu]

Congenital, and the doc says after the two weeks I can start working back into jiu jitsu...fortunately we don't get hit in the face much at all :D

[opusfxd]

Been there, done that, got the Tshirt. That sucks man. Beats the heck out of a CPAP though.

[opusfxd]

Ok, so it's almost mid April. The weather has sucked the days I've been free and there have been a couple that were good but I had to work.

Screw it!!! I need a fix!! Tomorrow is SUPPOSED to be upper 50's so today I bought a flat of brats, chicken thighs and a rib roast (half price - $30- at Kings if you're interested in one).

Unfortunately this was all after my Q shop closed and I need to get some new rubs and charcoal. So first thing tomorrow I'll be at his door knocking and coming home to let things soak for a little bit while I take my kids to the Arvada Kite Festival (look it up, it's free and fun for the family). Then I'm going to come home and fire up my first smoke of the year. I'll let you know how it turns out. Hopefully I'll have you all over for the second round.

[mhailey]

Man, that sounds good. I've got an easter egg hunt tomorrow morning, and then we are getting ready for 17 people at the house for Easter dinner on Sunday. I smoked a slab of salmon last weekend, and it was great. the weather was not that good, but the salmon turned out nice.

Speaking of which, I wrestled with the tax man tonight & came out on top for a change... It looks like I will be going over my past returns with a fine tooth comb though. Maybe it is me, but it doesn't seem right that I would owe a sizable sum one year & be over by a similar amount the next... Time for a glass or two of nice red!

Stopped by DaveCo today and met Dave. Decent selection in there and Dave's a pretty nice guy even in the after work rush.

Another thing is going on up there. Qing for a Cure. A charity BBQ for a foundation for a couple kids with cancer. $5 will get you a small sandwich and $10 got me 6 ribs all from competition bbq teams. Goes through tomorrow night.

[opusfxd]

It's true!!!! I texted 27297 with Roastburger and got a text coupon for a free Roastburger from Arby's. Had to buy a drink and then I wanted potato cakes, out the door for about $3.50. It could have been half of that if I wanted. :)

Also didn't we pass the 1 year anniversary of this place?

[mhailey]

Holy Crap did I just get some weather! a huge funnel cloud passed right over my house, which I saw, and touched down about 2 miles away (from what I understand). The hail was amazing! I'm calling the insurance agent tomorrow to come check my roof.

Here's another great photo from my sister, who is about 5 miles away. This cloud was inbetween her house and mine. She is looking west, and I saw this while looking east. Fun Day!

yowsa....glad you still here mat...heard about the tornado watch in ne elbert county on way to mert herf

[LordOfWu]

Wow Matt, glad you and yours are all OK! That's crazy!!

[physiognomy]

Caught some of that same hail here by DU between all the errands we had to run today... Cool pic of the twister. Might have come reasonably close by here as well because we had sirens going off all over the place for a while.

[mhailey]

My wife was on the way to the Lowes at Southlands mall (the one that was just on Fox 31 News), when she turned around because of the tornado warnings. We then found out that a tornado went through the Lowes parking lot, and the rest of southlands mall (about 5 minutes from my home)

This was litterally right after I finished installing a new storm door on my backyard door. I think that is what kept us safe, my new storm door.:rockon:

I must have just missed you. I was there (for the 268th time :)) after work around 6.

[mhailey]

I must have just missed you. I was there (for the 268th time :)) after work around 6.

Nope, I had to leave at 5:00 to get home for dinner with my wife and kids. I did enjoy a very nice Tatuaje (brown label, don't know the name), and it was fantastic. great 1 1/4 hour smoke, with a nice Coca-Cola, watching Fox News and ESPN. The guy with the remote could not make up his mind.

[opusfxd]

Crazy how this guy with the remote thing seems to visit my house too!

BTW, today I won two raffles at work. One for a free entry to the Stadium Stampede on Father's day (saves me $20 - it's a benefit for St Joe's hospital that finishes in Mile High Stadium - note I don't say invesco) then I get a free hour massage certificate too!

I'm going to go get so wrecked and let them work out all the knots! :)

Oh! And I get to leave tomorrow night for a long weekend next to the river in Estes. Relaxing, hanging out, hiking, hope the weather holds out for a few sticks on the deck!

That weekend in Estes sound awesome! We did a camping trip over Memorial Weekend, right by a river, and sitting by the camp fire, enjoying a nice cigar (or three) was just what the doctor ordered. ENJOY! Everyone needs weekends like that to rejuvinate and re-energize. Oh, and get some saltwater taffy on mainstreet Estes. Can't be beat.

[ahc4353]

I need a sanity check (don't say it Fred :bitchslap:)

Trooper chasing a speeder no lights on, no siren on, runs a stop sign kills two with a broadside hit. So hard it ejected them both out the passenger side window.

Guilty of anything or walk?

Well just so you know he killed two sisters on the way to the store to buy milk for mom.

17 and 19 years old

They died
He walked yesterday

[mojo65]

Al thats sad, I hope the parents sue the crap out of the cop! what a retard!

[LordOfWu]

I don't know if there are legal ramifications, but I think it goes to the argument of when cops should and shouldn't chase people. I can't imagine anything the person he was pursuing did that was worth the lives of two people, and I would assume the person got away anyway.

That is quite sad.

[zmancbr]

Al thats sad, I hope the parents sue the crap out of the cop! what a retard!

:tpd:

I seriously hope they sue for not having lights on and for blowing through a stop sign! There is a reason the have those there! Sad news for that family.

[opusfxd]

I'd have to say this qualifies as gross negligence.

[ahc4353]

Not in NJ. He walked.

Amazing.

Had a great weekend up in the mountains. Michelle finished her first 1/2 marathon (9,097 feet above sea level, I know, crazy!), took a nice pontoon boat ride out on Dillon Reservoir, had a few nice smokes...all in all a very nice weekend!

:horn:

[ahc4353]

Sounds awesome Mert!

[opusfxd]

I'm jealous. You got the relaxing weekend and mountains and cigars. After enjoying my outdoor time last weekend I got back in time for cold, wind and rain. Got some great pics though.

Of course after playing hookie I end up working two late days in a row and it doesn't look like it's letting up.

[LordOfWu]

I'm just throwing this out there, Eric (eps) has never had an Anejo Shark...I don't have one, but thought that someone might want to know :eyebrows:


He works up at the Smoking Cave every other Wednesday, I can act as delivery boy if necessary.

Hey my fat butt lost enough weight over the last couple months to finish second in the weight loss contest at work. 4.5% lost. I also had 18% of the minutes of excercise activity recorded for my building.

$100 for my troubles. :)

[physiognomy]

Congrat's Dave... I need to get back on my bike etc. A couple years slacking off hasn't done me any good.

[moglman]

WTG Dave! It's sure a lot harder to drop now than when even 10 years ago for me.

[sepp]

Good job Dave!

[drjammer]

Way to go Dave!

[LordOfWu]

Way to go Dave!!

[ahc4353]

Mornin boys!

Hope you each have a great week.

Congrats on the loss of poundage! I know it's not an easy task!

[LordOfWu]

I hate it when Monday's start the way today has...need to change my mental outlook before I have more of a negative impact around me than I already am!

[opusfxd]

You could be switching your schedule over to working 12 hour mid shifts for the next week. Yeah that includes the 4th.

[LordOfWu]

I don't know how I can be expected to put any energy into work when I'm three days from going to Alaska! I mean, seriously, what are they thinking?

:der:

Oh, did anyone watch the UFC last Saturday? A guy I train BJJ with put it best, I think, "Brock Lesnar is a bumpy, peanut filled turd"

:nutkick:

[mojo65]

there were 5 of the gang at HMS for the fight. Loved the bisping KO!:rock::nutkick:

lesner is a tank....if you end up under him...your done! He is an ass in an interview while the blood is pumping.:der:

[LordOfWu]

Hendo represented well for Team USA, didn't he! That was awesome!

[mojo65]

I seen that punch coming,, he was dropping his hands and circling into Hendo's right hand.:doh:

Back from the land of the north, great trip and I actually caught some fish this year! Now I need to get back in the swing of things and hook up with everyone...not that I didn't smoke on my trip, far from it! Just that now I need to smoke with some BOTL's!

Been a little slow on here this week...where my post whores at?!?

I'm working to drop about 7 more pounds before the 29th...gonna be hungry for the next week and a half or so... :mad2:

[mhailey]

are you dropping it for a match (MMA), or for weight loss goals?

[LordOfWu]

BJJ Tournament, want to be in the 170-189.9 class, not the 190-209.9 class

Right now I'm right about 195, but I have to weigh in with my gi on...so the extra couple of pounds

[sepp]

Right now I'm right about 195, but I have to weigh in with my gi on...so the extra couple of pounds
I do not miss weigh ins... remembering wearing a rubber sweat suit and exercising at the back of the team bus on the drive up to Flagstaff to shed the last 1/4 lb.

Hang in there. How long do you have between weigh in and match? Do you get to recover some?

[LordOfWu]

I think we weigh in the night before, or the morning of...need to find out tonight.

[LordOfWu]

So I can weigh in the night before, all the way up at Dave and Busters in Westminster! Geez!

How's the cutting coming?

[LordOfWu]

It will hit high gear starting this weekend, only need about 5 more pounds...of course that's assuming the 3 kidney stones i currently am dealing with (yep, sucks to be me) make up their mind and pass...otherwise I'll just be watching from the sidelines.

That can't be fun, let us know how it goes. Spare the details, though.

So, I'm down to about 191, so making weight should be no problem on Friday! Kidneys seem to be playing along right now, so it's looking good for tourny on Saturday!

:new_rofl:

[mhailey]

I am SOOOOOOO excited! :runnningaround:

I just purchased WinterPark/Mary Jane and Copper Mountain season passes for me, my wife and my daughters (well my yougest can still ski free). Now I just have to go get all of the equipment and clothing (clothing for my daughters), and we're set. MAN I CAN'T WAIT!!! The season doesn't start until mid November, so I have 2 more months of sitting on my hands, and then into the mountains every weekend.:lotofsmiles: :track:

Matt

[moglman]

I recall those days fondly Matt, when I was skiing every weekend. It's been a while. I think it's even better that you are treating the kids to this. They will remember these trips all their life.

[mhailey]

My mom and dad live just outside of Granby, so we have free lodging all winter long. Plus they also have season passes, so it will be three generations skiing together all winter long. :dance3:

[opusfxd]

So pardon me for asking but I'm from the 'I used to ski Jane for $15 and Loveland for $9 club", what are passes going for nowdays?

Like I even think I have time or the knees left to try.

[colimo]

:amen::metoo::tpd:

[mhailey]

There are a bunch of options depending on what mountains you want to ski. When I purchased them, you could get the 4 pass (4 days unrestricted to Winter Park/Mary Jane/Copper Mountain) for $120; a season pass to just Winter Park/Mary Jane for $359; a season pass to Winter Park/Mary Jane/Copper Mountain for $399. all of these are adult passes. You can also include Steam Boat in the passes, but then the price goes way up.

Children 5 and under ski free
Children 6 to 12 it is $209 for season pass to all three mountains.

It cost me, spot on, $1060.

http://www.skiwinterpark.com/tickets/seasonpass/index.htm

This may seem like a lot (and it is, when I hit submit on the purchase button my face looked a lot like :yikes:). However, if you buy a lift ticket at the window it is at least $90 per adult and $60 for my oldest child (my youngest would still ski free). So for one day skiing without the pass it would cost about $240, and spending that kind of money there is no way we would leave early. Come hell or high water we would ski all day, and the kids would not enjoy it because they would be just too exhausted by the end of the day.

Two weekends of skiing and I have made up the season pass, and the remainder of the year is gravy. Plus we can leave when ever the kids get tired, because we did not drop $250 to ski that one day. And we have free lodging all winter long, which just seals the deal.

[sepp]

Two weekends of skiing and I have made up the season pass
We always look at it as the first day on the hill is very expensive and the rest of the days are FREE :rock:

[opusfxd]

Somebody kill me please!!! I can't take this cold much longer! Been living on Nyquil and cold meds since Wednesday. Which really sucks but I was in the final period of training for a tri on the 19th and haven't been able to do anything since. I even had cigar time planned as well as Henry's herf. :(

Just had to vent.

This may make you feel better brother. My MIL and SIL have gone through 8 bottles of wine in the last two days. But hell the SIL has only fell down twice. It's good to be me. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Hey, I haven't been real active lately, but it was just a brief break...I'm back now :D

I'm recovering from a pinched nerve in my neck, so sitting at a computer all day for work was bad enough, but I'm felling much better now!

So, what have you guys been up to?

[colimo]

glad you're feeling better mert cya sat

[opusfxd]

Been trying to keep above water. I've been gone even more than you and Jamie put together.

[RobustBrad]

Going to be another warm one today!

[mhailey]

My daughters are going to take their first ski lesson on Saturday!!! Man I can't wait!! :bounce::bounce: I really hope they like it. When it first snowed this year, they put on their boots and skis and I pulled them around the yard so they could kind of get a feel for the skis on their feet, and they loved that. However, it is a little different when you are on nothing but snow, rather than grass witha dusting of snow.

[opusfxd]

Going to be? I thought that it was technically winter already.

Not til 12/21. Of course spring will start about 6/30 the way things have been going...

[mhailey]

So, my daughters had their first ski lesson, and loved it. EXCEPT, towrd the end of the day, some out of control A-HOLE ran over my daughter's (my youngest who is only 4 years old) hand and cut open her first and middle finger with his edges. I AM SO PISSED!! Her first ski trip, and her first ambulance ride, in the same day.

Did you catch up with him? I hope you did. Cheese#$%&. Hated them.

[physiognomy]

Hope she's ok & the experience doesn't dampen her spirits too much Matt... I hope she's back up and skiing as soon as possible!

[mhailey]

I should tone it down, as I don't know if he was an Ahole or not, as I did not speak to him, by choice. If I had spoken to him, I would have gone off, and I would have been the a-hole. The ski patrol caught him, yanked his ticket, and he is getting charge by the district attorney. She has her fingers all bandaged up, with steri-strips on the lacerations. No stitches, praise God. While she was crying and wimpering in my arms, before the doctor came into the exam room, she looked up at me and said "when the doctor is done, can we go back to skiing?"

WHAT A TROOPER!!!!!!!!

[physiognomy]

Very cool to hear Matt...

[colimo]

glad she is ok and justice done matt

[opusfxd]

Glad to hear she's all right, well mostly.

[jcarlton]

Glad she will be okay and what a trooper!!!

[opusfxd]

Oh crap! I went and worked out with a buddy of mine tonight. This guy took best all around rider the last two years in his categories and is racing Pro, 1,2 next year. Yeah if Lance showed up he'd be racing him - and prolly give him a good run. As you can imagine for a bike racer, it's all legs in the workout. Mine feel like logs. Of course my arms got a good workout from taking all his plates off to get the weight down for me on my turns. Ever see someone press 350 with one leg?

I am so not walking tomorrow. But this will feel real good come the March races.

[massphatness]

Hi guys -- for those of you who haven't seen, I'm hosting a contest on a CA to help Fred fill his troop coolers. Entry is a 5'er for the troops. The catch is YOU don't win anything -- rather you enter the name of a fellow BOTL. Winner gets my vino, two custom made shelves, and FOUR custom made vino drawers -- one of which will packed with sticks. I'll ship it on my dime anywhere in the CONUS or Canadia.

You can view the contest thread on CA HERE (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=24614)

Show your buddies you love them!

[physiognomy]

Very generous Vin... I have already 'bought' a couple of tickets & plan on picking up a few more before you close it up. Fred was more than pleased when I told him about your raffle last week.

Saw that, Peter: many thanks!

Quick update and then back to helping out in the kitchen.

Some of you knew that my wife, Sally Beth, was having surgery this week. Everything went fine on Tuesday and she spent yesterday on lots of pain meds. She's back up and about and is doing fine except for some discomfort and is enjoying spending time with her parents.

Thanks for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Glad to hear that! Hope you're not letting her get too much back up.

[webjunkie]

Thanks guys. She isn't really doing much today except being nauseated and sleeping. Actually her parents are both sick today as well, so perhaps it isn't related to the surgery.

Hope they all get feeling better without getting it on you.

Well since it's so quiet here today, I figured I'd post something for you all to read.

BTW for all you that know Boy Scout stuff, I received my Woodbadge beads last night. Pretty cool I had some people in my course come down from Silverthorne, one of which graduated with Scott, along with a guy I worked with at DIA when we opened that place.
