Sunday Before Memorial Day

Image
 Sunday, May 24, 2026 Sunday before Memorial Day Smoked a La Flor Dominicana, the Digger. Cut it. Lit it.  The draw. Seeing how well it's lit. Try again.  Looks good.  Fun cigar. Strong.  Coming up on a year since I left teaching. I'm loving not working.  And I love sitting out in the backyard with a cigar.  Dale mowed the grass today for the first time this season. It looks great. He used the electric mower of Josh from next year. I think he loves letting us use it. They are so eco-conscious which is fantastic. So are we.  Today we hit 80 degrees for the second or third time this year.  Drank a couple of Old Fashions to go with my stogie. Great comination. Dale joined me with some white wine as we got closer to dinner time.

 Saturday, May 2, 2026 Lit up a big fat Asylum 13 and boy was that fun.  Tasted good too.  Very pleasant outside.  Listened to some jazz which I haven't done for a while.

 Wednesday, April 8, 2026 Picked up an Asylum 13 recently at Stogies on Grand.  Decided to smoke it today.  It's been ages since I've had one.  Steve and I used to smoke these a lot.  They're fun to smoke.  Earlier today Dale and I went to lunch at Northbound. I had an Old Fashioned and he had a beer. We both got hamburgers. After lunch we took Mom to the doctor and he gave the go ahead that she can take her neck brace off. She was excited and we were so happy for her. It's been three months and she never really got used to how constricting it felt.  Upper 50's today but windy.  Hard to keep this one burning evenly but it wasn't solely because of the wind. Sometimes these big ones just do that.  Once back inside I had another Old Fashioned. Sushi for dinner and watched Big Bang Theory with Dale.  Great cigar. Really enjoyed it.
