The Flynt mobile. Glad you were able to get down South. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My dad and uncle shared 400 acres of foothills on the Wasatch front of the Rocky Mountains in Central Utah right above a valley of farm land. They let a sheep herder graze the sheep, who in turn laid their property taxes. Not a bad deal. Goats eat everything to the dirt. Sheep leave enough to...

I hate keeping up with the lawn. But at that size you should look at a small tractor with double deck cuter. You never know when you might need tractor stuff. I grow grapes. If I had 3 acres or even 1, I would want a tractor or a mule. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I went to private school K-6. It gave me a good basis and I was 2nd in my class in 6th grade but at the same time I hated not having friends in the same area. I did plenty of individual sports but firmly told my parents that I wanted to attend public school there after. We moved to NJ and I...

Absolutely true. The Uber rich, the politicos and the baddies of the world make everybody’s lives miserable. This once was a centrist country with a sense of humor, neighbors who got along or worked out disputes as adults. These days the fringe of society have destroyed or enslaved the...

I would have my copy of the Bill of Rights, and be nice to the poor police officer but explain that he’s being used by the asshat local politico. Being a cop in a small town can really suck. Besides dealing with gutter rats, few people actually appreciate that you are just trying to do your...

Pretty horrible. I’m supposed to go to Paris in May. I almost want to skip the area with this and the yellow vest drama. Plus you never know when there will be a dang strike on rails, lorries, etc. That’s France for you but a serious shame about the cathedral. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We picked close neighbors because then there are no real secrets. In other suburbs I have lived in or small towns nobody knows the neighbor other than right next door or across the street. We lived in an area where clandestine meth labs were everywhere, just above Gig Harbor and Pierce County...

We have a covenant but no fees. It’s more of a tax district in 2 neighborhoods that are mostly 55+. I live on the one street that allows younger people but most homes are 2 bedrooms or smaller 3 bedrooms. We can’t have fences, that’s a town thing because of migratory wildlife. But we can have...

My hound is everything to me. He’s almost like another of our children. However he’s one of unconditional love. My hound is around more than the wife. Lol. Many huge condolences. It’s hard having a good pet pass. It took me a few months to get over the loss of my small dog a few years back...

I went to Nica two years back to explore the country and get up to Esteli to see some tabacaleras. The departmente of Esteli is huge. The city does have some tabacaletas but it’s a long, long way from Costa Rica. The closest Nica factories would be in Granada. The city might be worth a one...

Tai Chi. Get into your groove stretching then you can get some dumbbells followed by a heavy bag or kick bag. Playing racquetball, basketball or tennis got fun will build up your endurance while having fun. But now that I’m older I sleep through Winter mostly so I use a hot tub and I stretch...

There is a very nice Hilton in Clearwater. Good bars nearby. My BIL got married there. The rest of the family stayed in little rentable apartment styled rooms with pools about a quarter mile up and one block off the beach but almost as easy to walk. But in the Hilton there are at least 4...

I’ve been here going on 3.5+ years. It’s a very good place. We don’t always have to agree on every smoke and most of us aren’t just enabling. People here share like no other place I’ve been, internet or not. I do a wine forum. I’ve been on there for 11 years. I may take breaks, a lot. It’s...

I use a tea press most of the time. Very similar to a French press for coffee. The one ting I would say that I have not seen mentioned is that certain teas are made for being steeped in water that is far lower than the boiling point. Blazing bubbling water all but ruins their delicate nature...

I drink Twinnings Earl Grey sweetened with half and half every morning, though late mornings with my first pipe. I do Chai Tea but it’s a pain to make right but fine with Balkan or English blends. I also will drink Irish breakfast tea with cigars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice review. The Half Coronas are some of my most treasured cigars and the MMC is one of them that I always have boxes stocked up much like the HUHC. I think with recent prices these are a no brained to have testing in the tupperdors. I try to keep 5-6 boxes of both the Monte and the H.Upmann...

Spend a couple more dollars, literally $3-$4 and buy some Montecristo Medio Coronas. They are priced right in so many places now. They used to run $150 and didn’t seem worth the extra from HUHC but now their <$10 apart, buy them. That or I saw BCJ for a bit less. It’s been awhile since they were...

It’s good I checked this thread. We have a multi family trip tentatively scheduled next Summer to Amsterdam as we promised my SILs former Germán Au Paire, that we would fly over to meet her family. Our daughter is the same age. I might have to separate from part of the family as I want to...

My wife loves cruises. I tend to hate them. She works long hard hours and wants to completely wash the outside world away. I like guesthouse and staying long periods to actually get a feel for any particular island or destination. That said, while in Keon, Nicaragua, I was known as El Gringo...
