I got home yesterday morning after a grueling 54 hours shift. I had to work a double, due to a Capt from shift 3 calling in sick. On top of that, had training the following morning. So get get home early afternoon and see a package on my doorstep. Now, lately I have had to watch my pennies due to my current situation (which if you don't know, pm me and I will tell ya). I see it is from Alex Svenson and Cigar.com. Hmm, I thought, I didn't order anything, I hope I didn't do this on some drunken stupor. So I open it, I find a beautiful CAO ashtray and a full box of Camacho Candela's. WoW! Just as I was throwing away the packing (I have been saving boxes for my soon to be ex) I noticed a small black box, that says S.T. Dupont on it. WTF?? I called Alex and he told me what you guys had done for me. Unbelieveable. I was absolutely speechless. I knew this was a great group of people, but this is what really set it in stone. You people are absolutely the most generous people I have ever known. I did nothing to deserve this from you all. I hope one day, I get to share a smoke and a drink with each and every one of you that contributed to this package. I hope my situation will be done by June, because you are all invited back to my house again this year for another BBQ. Once again, I canot thank you enough. I hope in the near future I will be back on the boards, and interacting with you all just like old times. I hope everyone and their familes are doing well, and I wish everyone the best in 2007. Stay safe. Capt

54 hour shift! Nice! Heh - hope it wasn't a boring 54 hours.
Looking forward to another BBQ - if you need any help with that, let me know! I will try to make it up there - but that will depend on my wife's pregnancy.
Hope you're doing well! Stay safe

Lol. If I had the time and money, I would definitely join you on the streams. I hope to make it out opening day this year on the Au Sable or Manistee. We will see how it goes.
However, I do want to extend an invitation to EVERYONE again for this years BBQ. I haven't set a date yet, but probably end of June. Same ribs, but this year I am thinking about a fish fry and a lobster/crab boil. Let me know what works for all of you.

Capt,
I am also fairly new here and am unaware of your situation. I will keep you in my prayers. I have always believed that cigar lovers are some of the best people in the world, and others generosity here proves that. God Bless!!

Capt, hope all works out for you - take care of yourself!
I will do my best to get out for your BBQ this year - I have a event I have to do the first week in June however - hopefully I can make it.
Take it easy, let me know if there is anything I can do.

I had no clue what was going on in your life and no clue about the goodies sent your way. I had been wondering where you were at lately. Best of luck to you brother in whatever is going on. If I can be of any help whatsoever don't be afraid to ask.
Capt.
Wasn't aware of the box being sent, but wanted to join in with the well-wishes and with the hope that you can pull of another bbq like last year. What a great party.
I will be heading over to your area next Friday and will give you a call to see if we can get together for a smoke.

Ryan/Capt--
I have been there and done that on what you are going through. Mine was not exactly as yours, but mine took 19 months to run it's course. I learned alot from the experience and it can be a real wake up call.
If you ever need an ear of someone who has been through it --- you have my number and my AIM address!
