to flaPacking for 20 weeks in the warm air of Fla
These are my companions. Royalton #19, Starfire #82, SWR Colonial #83, M/C Bark Grain, Bonnie Briar (almost natural after the water bath), MM Cob, Grabow S/B Freehand #012, and a KYM Drinkless #7771.
Hopefully Ed can repair my Thomas Martin and add it to these.
May(did last year) or may not have I/N service. I'd go to Burger King twice a week for coffee and to check mail. Y'all will probably notice no difference....Sorry......Regards.....ted

Enjoy, Ted. Looks like quite an arsenal you have here, but you're going to need more tobacco, I think.

Terry...Thanks. You know, there is actually a tobacco shop about 4 miles from our home. Sure as heck 'aint one in Sparta or Piney Creek.
I'm really looking forward to sampling tobacco blends inside, on a nice leather couch, with other....be they cigar.....smokers......ted

ted, hope you have a great winter down there, think of us up here in the cold once in a while. Come on back when you get ready and we'll work on another DGCF meeting for 2010. Bet we'll have more attendees this time.
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I ain't gonna say nothin about Valentine's Day.

I got it all boxed up and ready to go out tomorrow-to NC. If you ain't there guess I'll just have to keep it!!

Thanks for the repair Ed. Can't wait to see it again....WHOA! You may WHAT?
Next package you get from me that looks like tobacco may need to be opened under water.
Genuinely, Thank You. Wish you had taken a picture to post. My laptop doesn't have (don't think) photographic capabilities. I'll have my scanner. Maybe I can find a way.....regards....ted

Which reminds me, I've got until November 30th to get my requests for vacation time in for 2010. Any idea yet when we might be having that meeting? It's hard for me to get my vacation change or secure time off once it's etched in stone by my Company. --RJ--

Actually, a scanner, at times, can do a better job than a camera. It worked perfectly on my pocket watches! I think, in a pinch and pressed for time, I may have used my scanner on a pipe or two as well. --RJ--

Probably best if you pick the dates. We can adjust(omatic) to yours. We need to schedule it one day after you arrive....remember the airline schedule...and I need to make arrangements with Rick at the factory...ted

As I want my wife to come this time -- and maybe spend a few days more in the area than I did before -- I'll check with her and get back with you. Maybe try and pick a week in July again? That's the hardest month for me to get time in, but if I make it my choice, I might can swing it.
Is "summer" a good time for everyone else who would want to come? Excellent time for us to escape the heat in Texas then! --RJ--

Anytime in July would work for me. I sort of half-way tried to set something up back in late July or early August, but I could never get hold of Rick Wooten. When I called, he wasn't available, and vice versa. I was shooting for a Friday through Sunday kind of thing, but then found out the factory doesn't operate on Fridays. So, any time would be good for us, as I said.

Appears you may have to submit your vacation request to Warren Buffet. Meet the new boss.

Wish that would help, but no favortism is shown in scheduling of vacations -- just seniority with only 11 Engineers off at any one time. I am #24 on the roster (I was #110 when I started over 30 years ago!).
Now, if it was JIMMY Buffet, I might stand a chance of influence . . . --RJ--

Yes, July is good with me and I would echo what ted said, RJ - work it out with your schedule then let us know. I am a government employee and am nothing if not flexible. I am planning for my wife to come as well, but she has workshops off and on through the summer, so I can never tell very far in advance. We won't try to take that into account with scheduling.

I am presently trying to work out something in July and coordinate it with the wife and her work schedule. She said July is good. I won't know until late December or early January if I am successful in getting a week or two of time in July. --RJ--

That's true, at least. Favoritism, payolla and arbitrary decision making won't come into play -- it's pretty cut and dried. --RJ--
