Snooze Button Ronin

Weerd put forth the call, to do more than just light a candle.

Well since someone preemptively stole my original idea…(and since I don’t actually own any candles as it turns out)

I present my own version

Laphroaig 18, Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded, Rocky Patel Valedor cigar, and a case of Yugo FMJ 7.62×39 surplus ammunition.

I like my scotch on the rocks.

Yeah, I know, I know. I haven’t posted anything in forever. I’ve been busy with a lot of things, and at the same time, I’ve just been being lazy.

I’m still playing XI. On that front, I’ve been slowly bringing up White Mage as my second job. I’ve also just joined a Salvage group, so hopefully that pans out.

The trip to Minnesota this year was fantastic. It was great to see the kids at Pine Point again, as well as those in Mahnomen. It was interesting doing the camp in the new Boys and Girls Club building at Mahnomen, but certainly a marked improvement from last year. Those DDR pads they had were sweet – enough so that I’ve been considering getting one (cause I don’t know if I could afford two).

This last week was exhausting but fun. My friend Keuker was down from Chicago on business, and we got to hang out quite a bit. I also spent two days traveling around with G’ma Wilson and Round3r in a rental truck, picking up used furniture. We ended up filling an entire Semi Trailer with stuff to send up to the Rez. It’s really too bad that I can’t take time off to go up this week.

I’ve been having a bunch of great cigars lately, as well a few good Pipes. I recently bought a Calabash off of eBay. The seller was getting rid of a bunch of estate pipes inherited from a deceased relative, and I got it for a steal. I’m not sure if I like to fully or not, but $20 with shipping isn’t too big of a risk. As far as cigars, the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Maduro is still my favorite cigar, but the Arturo Fuente Hemingway is definitely a solid second place. Props to Robert from Cigars for Aficionados for his wonderful service.

Anywho, just putting up an update. Time to get back to XI before I have to leave for work.
