I got home last night around midnight to find a package with my name on it sitting on the kitchen table. I didn’t recall a recent purchase online, so I figured it was probably a new cell phone or something like this for Yun’s brothers (they order phones to our house with some regularity). To my surprise, I opened the box to find one of the sweetest and most essential items for proper cigar transport: a Herf-a-Dor!
I love getting gifts, especially things I really wanted. A HUGE thanks to Matt of the Mcreynolds clan of Rathmines for this treasure. I will definitely be loading this fellow up prior to our visit, Lord willing, in November. I will be able to put it to immediate use at tonight’s board meeting.
Liam, Yun, and I went to Ben and Lis’ house for rum-laced ice-cream on Sunday where we made plans to head to San Carlos in October. I’m not sure if I will be able to get the time off – but it would be quite nice to take this trip. We found some really nice places to snorkle on our last trip there, so with the possibility of Liam going this time, we could do SCUBA instead. We also talked about going back to the White Mountains in January. It would be a great opportunity to see and enjoy some snow!
I spent hours this morning cutting/trimming our mesquite tree in the front yard. That thing grows at a rather rapid pace, so this is a frequent responsibility (normally prompted by threats from our home owner’s association).
The grass in the back yard is coming in quite nicely and there are only a few bare spots presently. Yun and I have been spending a significant amount of time of late pulling weeds back there. That seems to be a perpetual task with this house, especially during and after the monsoons.
