Now that the deck is completed and most of the furniture has arrived I want to have you guys over for a smoke.
I have cleared Saturday, the 17th of September, around 2 or 3 in the afternoon with the wife.
The wife will be rather pregnant and I am not as good a host as her so at the very least we will have some sort of food, might even be catered/delivered food.
All you need to do is bring your smokes and your preferred beverage; I can have a cooler available.
Family and friends are also more than welcome to come with you. My wife and our nearly 2 year old daughter will be there.
Here (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=9812+Canmore+Way+Bristow+VA+20136&spn=0.023533,0.045417&hl=en) is a Google Map of my house. You can add your location to the “To Here” link. If you are coming from westbound I-66 DO NOT get off on 28 South. Continue on I-66 to exit #43A and turn left on Linton Hall. Then follow that to Sudley MAnor and the Google directions are good.
If anyone is going to travel from afar we have four extra beds and a couch available if needed. Anyone is more than welcome to stay with us, yes I have permission, but if you’d prefer I can get you some info on nearby hotels if needed.
If you have any questions please ask. If you can make it, go ahead and post here or PM me.
This should be fun. :thumbsup:

From the back of a Havana Club bottle:
1 ounce lime juice
1 ounce HC
4 ounces club soda
mint leaves
sugar
From a CW post....
Muddle mint and sugar. Add to glass of ice, with rum, club soda, and mint.
(A bartenders' guide says that, in muddling the mint and sugar, the sugar should dissolve in the oils that are released from the leaves. I've never been able to do this, myself.)

I have fresh mint in the back yard if you want me to bring some. We made mojitos with it a few months ago.
To muddle the mint leaves you use the back of a spoon, and the coarse sugar should break them down when you grind it into it, sorta like a mortar and pestle.

I brought a bunch planning on handing a ton out and really didn't do all that well...I can tell as I managed to come back with more than I left with! Of course, the poker game helped with that...:eyebrow:
A huge thanks to Todd for hosting and putting me up at his wonderful home; Rachel for putting up with all of us; Vipe, Ashy and Joshua for making the trip; and everyone else that made it. Wow, this is like an Emmy speech or something! :bouncetau
Seriously though, it was an excellent time and I really enjoyed meeting everyone.
Wow, just WOW!.
I just got in the door a half hour ago...
Let me say that (unbiasedly since I flew in from afar) that this was one of the best HERFs I've ever attended. There's so many people to thank that made my trip wonderful. In order of meeting:
Mark
You went above and beyond. From holding up a cardboard sign with "vipe" plastered across it with a magic marker, taking time out of your day to pick me up from the airport, great conversation, paying for the food and drinks at the tavern and the sublime cigars you gifted myself and all the other brothers. You made me feel very welcomed to VA. Thank you.
Todd
What can I say? You're an amazing brother! I can't express enough of my gratitude in one post, a few sentences or a paragraph. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home for Jason and I to stay. Like I told your wife - I wouldn't have been able to make it without your hospitality. The stay, the food and drinks, the smokes, the HERF, the tour trip around DC and Shelly's, dropping me off at the airport and for everything in between. I'm saving up for the next one :thumbsup: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :awholelot
Jason
Another fine BOTL that came from afar. Thanks for all the great conversation and not making me feel like the sole survivor of La Casa del Waschers! LOL. Thanks for the enjoyable game of Texas Hold 'Em and having patience with this newbie poker player.
Rachel
Thank you for the hospitality and letting Jason and I and all the other brothers hang out at your house. Thanks for letting Todd come out and play! Without your contributions, my stay wouldn't have been half as good.
Order gets a little hazy here since I had too much nicotine in my system at this point...
Thom
Ya crazy bastid with your HCF shirt :D Thanks for putting up with me with the seat next to yours.
John, Eric & Matthew
Glad to finally meet you guys but I wish we had more conversation time. Hopefully next time around :thumbsup:
Larry
Where's my hooka bro? LOL I've met very few nice NY'ers but your definetly one of them! Great conversation and just in case you're wondering, your poker smokes are safe from JW :wink:
Joshua
Glad you got a few more sticks to try out :wink: Thanks for showing the gadgets I've yet to see in person. And the BOTL wallpaper on the PSP - too cool.
Brian
Wish you could have stayed a bit longer bro. Next time for sure! Was very cool meeting one of mods on this board. You represented Dave and John well with your open invitation of your cigar caddy.
Shane
Very nice meeting you bro. Let me know when your down visiting your parents here and we'll definetly hook up for a smoke or two.
Allan
Even though you couldn't be there, you were in spirit and thanks for the picture. Tele-herfing; too friggin funny.
Dave
The man, the myth... the legend. I still feel bad that you had circumstances beyond your control and couldn't attend. I smoked the custom El Laguito you gifted me in your honor after talking to you on the phone and it was the damn best smoke of the weekend.
Tubaman's HERF guys
Would have been awesome if we could have all joined up. Was quite cool to see everyone from the entire NE and beyond blazing some fine crop simultaneously.
To everyone else who couldn't make it
Hopefully next time :thumbsup:

I was just checking out all the pictures from the Deck Herf and it looks like all had a great time! Those that couldn't make it missed out, myself included. Maybe next next year.
While checking out the pictures I noticed something strange, at least for me that is. In the "John_N_Va-Rachel" picture the AC condesing unit on your neighbors house is anchored/supported on the foundation of the house. I've never seen that before. Are they all installed that way down there? I'm wondering why that is? There are installed on pads right on the ground up here.

I've seen that before, can't remember where though. They are on concrete pads down here as well.
Wow, Eric, what a great post. I have to agree, bet Herf I've ever been to. Of course, coming from Vipe it means a bit more..my Herf experience isn't all that large! LOL. May sound sappy, but I feel that much closer to everyone now that we've met face to face. I can't wait for next year!
