Howdy all. Thought I'd drop by and say, "Hi!". I see some new faces and some oldies but goodies. Hope you are all doing well. Going to try to be a little more active than I've been for the last few years (almost non-existant). Take care Thebigman

Well hello all. Sorry haven't been around in quite awhile. Moving, super commuting, a slight health scare have been taking up all of my spare time. Got laid off and things are finally slowing down a bit. Hope everyone is well. It will be great getting caught up again. Love, peace, and...

 I've been back in Ohio for 1.5 years and neither my wife (her idea) or I are not happy with the move. We have both decided that heading back East this coming summer would be best. I'm trying to decide if we are going back to Maryland or if Northern Virginia would be a better fit. I've worked in...

This is funny, weird,  and amazing all wrapped into one.    http://www.nytimes.com/video/arts/design/100000002499781/flying-close-to-the-law.html?playlistId=1194811622182?WT.mc_id=VI-D-I-NYT-MOD-MOD-M327D-ROS-1013-HDR&WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_c=227994

Has it really come to this?      http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/10/16/pappy-van-winkle-bourbon-stolen/2997065/      

I went to the mailbox to get an expected shipment and there was an extra box. Upon opening, I discovered an AWESOME birthday gift from Randy.   Sir, I am  COMPLETELY blown away.    I don't even know if "thank you", even covers it, but thank you VERY much.    

Poor maillady, nor my mailbox will never recover from that.   Thank you kindly.  :thumbs:

This is certainly last min notice, but I'll be back in MD/DC this weekend. If anyone has time on Friday or Saturday let's get together for a smoke.

Odd story about too much of a good thing.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/22/john-saunders-charged-wit_n_2934989.html

I was watching the news and saw this story about a gentlemen that purchased a bottle of Glenfiddich 50 for $27,000. At first, I was thinking, "good for him." Then, I decided to do some quick internet shopping, found the same bottle for $9000 less. ...

I did some quick searching, but didn't come up with anything. Does anyone happen to know the backstory on the half naked woman on the inside of the Opus X boxes?

After 10 years of IT that ends up in some form of end user support, I've finally grown completely tired of it. I've been eyeing the Database or the Mainframe side of things. Columbus still has a lot of mainframes that aren't going anywhere, anytime soon. I also know that the world of data is...

Two years ago, I decided to try making limoncello. It was suggested to do the extraction of the peels with Everclear, so I did so. Following the rest of the recipe, including "aging" it for 6 months, this produced a tasty but a product with very high alcohol content. The initial flavors were...

Quick question. I'm moving my liqour collection back to Ohio this week. I'm using a moving company, so it will end up sittting on on a tractor trailer for 2-3 days. Will the liqour be ok or will the heat damage it? I'm putting the good stuff in my car, but would like to open up room for other...

I'm going to try to run by this place when I'm in LV next week. Anyone know anything about this glorious place? Is there anything that I must try?

I'm finally making my first trip to Vegas next month. If anyone will be in-town and want to get together for a smoke, let me know.

I purchased a bottle of Michel Couveur today and decided to have a nip or two before bed. The bottle is pretty plain Jane. Monochrome paper label, sealed in wax, and uses a wine style cork. Now, how does one reseal something like that (I completely punctured the cork)? BTW, the Overaged 12...

Sorry for the short notice. Usually when I run to Philly, then family wishes to tag along, however I was just informed they did not want to go this time around. I'll actually have a moment to sit down and have a smoke. I'm going to stop in Holt's and Philly Smoke Shop. Anyone available???

I've tried several of your grocery variety coffee and they all pretty much taste like...poop. What's some decent coffee to try? Discuss.

Just a quick thank you to the CP family for 3 years of information, humor, and friendship! You guys are all aces in my book.
