The Daily Chronicle

garry Scottie's blends are good, but way pricey. I bought Butternut Burley from 4 Noggins and saved over ten bucks. Right now, I am not planning on buying anymore from P&C due to that packaging issue I mentioned in a thread.

I have a giant Grundig Receiver and a Sangean Portable, along with monitors, a Baofeng Transceiver (bought to learn about HAM), 2 FM and 1 AM broadcaster. I did a radio show in HS, just one time, and was hooked. The teacher loved it so much I saw him keep that show in his file cabinet, while he did not do that for the others. It was a natch. Everybody else did hard rock shows. I did a Fifties show.

Anway, aside from some random conversations with the Greys from Zeta Riticuli, I'm not that experienced

Reporting before bed:
Seems like every time I fire up Chatham Manor expecting it to come close to CH I get a burnt rubber taste. Shame, as I have two tubs of it.

Curse of Oak Island: Yes, they did find some compelling stuff this season. They actually came across a dig from the original pit that has eluded them. Some bone from a middle Asian and a European that date from 1650-1750 at a a 160 foot level, where no bone from that era should be.
A garnet jewel with a cut and the type of garnet leading to believe it was from (if I recall) the 1500's.
A style of lead cross that dates it to Templar times.

Curse of Civil War Gold started last week. Yes, more Conspiracy Heaven for me. The first show, which I have only seen clips from, they find a Confederate Coin. I'll be happy to see if they ever show that as there are very few of those and almost all fake.

Jack the Ripper: The Diary issue comes back again as they act like they have new info on the provenance. They have someone who can claim he was there when they discovered it, but that comes nowhere close to proving it is real.

Bully the Lionhearted is finding new ways to talk to us. If we say something to him he squeaks his toys in response. Today he actually gave a few very low guttural growls, not of anger, but of attention getting. This doggie has been so quiet. I guess we've had him three months now. He slept so much the first month we hardly knew he was here when we weren't directly hugging him. Next month he started to alert us for the mail or people coming within sight of the house. This month he's trying to divide as much time between us, staying by Xuan or coming by me. We may not be perfect parents, but we love him dearly.

I smoked a few bowls when they first released it and gave it a pretty poor review ... definitely not a CH replacement for me.  

As a more budget-minded bulk, I think PS Cube Cut is a nice replacement and much better tasting than CM.

Mixed some Sutliff Dulce Le Leche with Sutliff Chocolate Truffle. The DLL was more butter and less Scotch, similar to CCP&BN, making it good, but a little savory. Probably use it as a mixer. Burning it in s Cob Diplomat

Going to be looking at History Channel The Men Who Built America, Mountain Men. Another subject I read on occasionally.
Growing up in the burbs I was surprised to see some blocks from our house a small cemetery right on a important route, Eddie & Park Rd. The fence was broken, the grass overgrown. Not as populated back then it would have been a nice place to get bitten by a timber rattler. Undaunted, Billy and I went in and I got tons of ookie spookies. There on Eddie and Park Road were buried... The Eddies and Parks!  I had never seen a gravestone for someone born in the 1700's back then. Push forward 35 years and doing some digging on Mountain Men I find the name Sappington, a famous family in the area. Turns out he was a mountain man and in looking him up, the name Thomas Eddie turned up. He was a famous one, though nowhere near Bridger, Tecumseh, et al. Somewhere in between, I dragged Xuan out of the house late one night to find the cemetery and go through it. Her English was not as good as it is now, but I fully understood, "You're weird."
 Today there is a sign for the cemetery and it is groomed a lot better:

Just finished listening to my aunt drone on and on for near two hours on why she wants to take a trip to no where in specific. I had nothing to add but platitudes and now I feel like a poor nephew for complaining about all this.

I hate to think how my interests and passions, when conveyed to others, must be so incredibly boring. Striving to be an attentive listener and a less frequent talker.

Hi antb! Good Thursday Morrow!

Mornin' David! Cooler day on the West Coast of the Dark Continent! Have a peaceful day.

Might want to post in the thread about Captain Black Sour Grapes then. Suits you better

@cosmicbobo you have to admire the rhetorical jiujitsu necessary to have cigarettes be smoking cessation products. My friends from Spain were telling me that Mexican cigs are way stronger then EU cigs for what it's worth.

Hey man, I apologize. That was an inappropriate comment on my part, totally out of line.

We’ve both been here a long time and I respect your opinions. Any way we can hit the reset button and go back to when we were buds?

Absolutely, Mark. I thank you. The reason I asked sparks for this thread was to respect you and @truculentfrogs in the original WAYS thread. Both of  you had valid points and when I recalled trying to read and post from a small tablet I totally understood.
Anyway, reset accomplished. 
David

Well Done Gents!
