“Smoked Up” No.32
This past week has been pretty laid back and well awaited. Work has settled back to a normal pace and so has the home life. No big news here, except if you count dropping $575 on two tires for my truck, That surely put a dent on my cigar, rum & bourbon spending. Either way, […]

“Smoked Up” No.31
Another week is past us in 2013 and another issue of “Smoked Up” is here. Nothing too much to report in my neck of the woods. Finished up a 4day @ 12hours/day work week which left me whooped. I didn’t enjoy too many cigars last week due to the long hours of work. When I […]
“Smoked Up” No.30
The last week has had its ups and downs. Ups and downs in weather, life etc… The heat is here to stay, the rain is not sure, but will be glad when it lets up for more than a few days. I got a three day weekend, but it was followed by working 12hour days […]

The “Dog Days of Summer” are just about here, if not already. If it wasn’t the high temperatures, it was the rain showers and humidity. That has been the story for the past two weeks or so in my neck of the woods. I mainly smoke outside under my carport and with the weather not […]

“Smoked Up” No.25
I am back into the swing of things and getting this week’s “Smoked Up” out a little early. I usually put it out on Tuesday, but I will be on a vacation starting Tuesday. So my editing time will be none while on vacation. My corneal ulcer from the previous week is gone, so that’s a plus […]
