Good luck, Bill. The Great Republic of California is probably the hardest state to get a concealed carry permit. One suggestion would be to make a donation or two to your local politician(s). You'd be amazed what a letter from your mayor or State Representative can do to expedite the process.

JR...I'm just a gun, scotch, and cigar enthusiast...

I'm still waiting on my custom humidor cabinet that will be storing my really premium cubans and opus X...they will be in on the right side of this picture...It is my small "MAN CUBBYHOLE"...working on the man cave as we speak now...pool table, 80's arcade machines, and comic book storage room (yes...I collect comic books too...geek at heart)...

My office is pretty much satellite man cubbyhole...I'm blessed that my wife just rolls her eyes...






3 of my specialty nutso guns...Taurus Raging Judge, Smith & Wesson 500 snubnose, and the FNH 5.7

Good Lord!

Quite the storage facility! In event of post-apocalyptic events, head to Jon's house! Is that a PS90 in the safe? Does it take the same round as your FNH 5.7? Is the Smith .500 AE round? That thing looks like it can bring down an African Bull elephant!

I used to have a LAR Grizzly in .45 WIN Mag. That gun, believe it or not, ending up bouncing out of my Jeep one night never to be found again! (it was in a case with my SA .45 and S&W 3904) Probably the worst night of my life!

How are those Vegas 5'? On a 1-10 scale? BTW I am loving the new piece. How often do you shoot?

You'll find out soon enough on those 5-Vegas'! They are stout, so be forewarned!

When I was in LA, I didn't get to the range as much as I wanted to, there's just too much going on and traffic always sucks. Here in Mizzou, I can bring my guns to my gf's work (blackoakamp.com) and shoot to my heart's content.

No stupid range-rules like, "1-shot-per-second". BTW, that Iver Johnson isn't a bad gun for the money. I need to get the feed ramp polished and the extractor adjusted, but other then that, it's a pretty good shooter.

Great day of golf (well at least for me...78 @ World Woods GC - Pine Barrens Course)...should have shot lower but I can't really complain given the windy conditions...Here was the cigar lineup today...





PS...Picked up new watch yesterday...PAM 372 N "Dirty Dial" 47mm...I was looking at a black face Rolex Daytona but my watch guy had this for another buyer...put it on and it was over...my PAM 250 was too close to a Daytona and is larger (Daytona is 40mm I believe) but this PAM is so simple and sexy...the strap is suede (the one I put on...the OE is leather) and damn its nice...

Weekend...

Ended up having a very amazing time in the Big Apple Got to NYC early Friday and at night enjoyed some wonderful wine and cigars. Saturday was a Golf charity tournament in Westbury, NY(A very beautiful town). At night we ate dinner at Del Frisco Steakhouse(I would highly recommend to steak lovers). Smoked a good cigar at Club Macanudo(Great place but cigar prices are out of this world...$50 for a Cohiba Black no thank you). Overall a great weekend for sure with great friends/family, golf, wine, great food and cigars
My Cigar list was; 1 Cohba, 1 Romeo y Julieta, 1 Macaduno and 2 San Lotano's

I agree on that one. We should have it changed. I honestly never would of guess we would keep it going this long. Family and friends make for great free time. Everything else is just the icing on the cake

Saturday golf....IMG Academy GC in Bradenton...lovely day...decent and consistent golf...nothing spectacular which I will take every week...78 (39/39)...

Pre-golf cigar...Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche...coffee and chocolate goodness!


Front nine...Padron 1964 Exclusivo...even when I screw up the the light Padrons will always seem to burn evenly. Not to mention the Padron smoothness is ever present...


Back nine...Liga Privada Feral...I've got to say...6 months of aging has done wonders in making this smooth as heck! I can't wait to smoke another one next week.

What's up guys.. hope all's well.. Just rolled in a couple of days ago from Cabo San Lucas.. Thought I'd share some pics and the only pic I have of the several Cuban's I smoked. It felt good not having my phone (and therefore my camera) with me all the time.

Smoke a Montecristo #4 (I believe) one night at the pool over looking the harbor. What a view and a great smoke. I should have tried to bring some home.. retail prices though for sure..

Daytime view of the place I smoked the Montecristo

Pic from the balcony of the timeshare

Same spot on the balcony just turned North a little. Nice harbor in Cabo.. lots of very pricey yachts

From the couch in the Suite.
Lastly from the top Northeast facing infinity pool (there are three of them).. included this one and if you look closely, you can see a couple of booties in the lower right of the pic.. should have zoomed in!


You guys have a great week.. wish I could say it's good to be home.

Bill
