  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I get excited every time this thread is bumped! Can't wait!

Can anyone suggest a cigar shop to hit, before I head up that way?

I haven't GPS'ed it yet, but I'll be coming from out in the Pomona area. This RV park is right by the fairgrounds.

Hop up to the 210 take that to the 134 Ventura Freeway which will take you right into the 101. Lots of shops along the way but the Big Easy is fun and close to the Sagebrush. Another 15 minutes beyond is Old Oak Cigars off Hampshire Road exit and the 101 on Thousand Oaks Blvd.. Big selection and very nice booze selection. Jeffy and I will be going there first.

FYI AND WARNING: I had lunch a block from the Sagebrush today. It was 111 degrees at 1PM in the afternoon. Hopefully it will cool down but I am wearing shorts and sandals.

Mmmmm toasty

Thanks for the warning I will wear some shades too cut down on the glare :ccool:

They have a few giant umbrellas there. I will try and get there a little early and get us some shade. I hope I don't have to fight off any of the female porn stars that frequent the place and want the umbrella. I would hate for everyone to show up and I was in a kiddie pool covered in jello and half naked women.

Love the heat out here! Thankfully, you guys don't have the humidity at least. I'm not saying that makes it a walk in the park, but it's a hell of a lot better than back home.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to talk the boss into letting me swing in there on the way up. I have a fighting chance of pulling it off, but if not-I'll see you all at Sagebrush.

Hate to burst your bubble, but we have been experiencing "monsoonal moisture" during this heat wave :/

Let me know what you like to smoke...In case you can't grab any sticks on the way up, I'll cover you with something from my humi.

You are correct on that. We actually 'argued' yesterday on whether or not there was humidity in the air. She said yes, I said no. I guess there was more than usual out here-but it still isn't that sticky sweaty humidity you can get, where you step out the door and already feel drenched.

Thanks for the offer, but I just wanted to hit a local shop and stock up some more. One of the reasons I love this traveling job, is being able to visit different shops all over the country, and herf with BOTL all over. I will be able to bring sticks to smoke, I just haven't been to a shop in CA yet!
