On Sunday I bumped the 300 odd miles from north central Kansas to Mu Mike's house in Missouri to load 160lbs of mahogany, Spanish cedar and glass onto my pickup truck. Mike and his wife where indispensable and helped me get what is now the also the second most expensive piece of furniture I own, secured and configured so that it wouldn't shift and was protected from the specter of stormy weather that haunted me as I made the drive down. After exchanging goodbyes and another 300 miles back up to Kansas, I called in a favor and had a buddy help me unload it into my apartment. Thanks to Mu Mike's wife's advice, the enormous humidor made it 100% intact; the only mar was from the keys I'd left in the lock which rubbed on the finish for 300 miles, producing a light scuffing in a half circle below the lock. It'll touch up and be invisible as soon as I can get to a hardware store tomorrow. Since it was already seasoned and cared for, I didn't have to wait very long, about an hour, for the set-it and forget-it system to bring the humidity up to the target 65%, but none the less I let it sit for 24 hours just to allow it to settle. This evening I loaded it up and began my tentative scheming for what sort of shelves I'll need. I'll post a video walk through one of these days so I can brag about the workmanship and how much of an awesome person Mu Mike is for letting me nab this baby.
