Well well well. I've been hit. Will need to post later. Gotta run to dinner with in-laws then friend's birthday party.

Thanks so much everyone!  :shock: 
 
Oh Josh, you can come out now. The postman doesn't deliver on Sundays.  :p

Pretty much! :affraid: :lol: I just dug out of the bunker now... :pirat: I figured some of you would be stumbling back from Chicago just about now, so I thought I'd write everything up.

Firstly, to address my weekend: It all began with a nice BoB pipe sock & pipe plugs on Thursday. Innocent enough. My reaction was bemusement & a little bit of giddy surprise. "They like me. They really like me," thought I (in my best Sally Field voice).

The next day, my wife tells me while I was at work, "You got a 2 boxes." What could this be??? :face: No anger from her side, but she was a little confused what I could have ordered.  :idea: Unfortunately she then went to take a nap and more boxes were subsequently delivered in round 2 for the mail route. They got a little soaked with the afternoon sprinkler session, but all the contents were fine. :roll: Then we had to dash to dinner and yesterday I went up to wine country. :drunken:  :drunken:  :drunken:

Well, now I'm up writing this at 1AM Monday morning. :fpalm: 

I got around to cataloging everything this morning. Too much goodies to get everything in one fell swoop; had to take a break for the local pipe club and come back to write the rest.  :twisted: I typed this all up, then reloaded the page and lost all my writing. :roll:

All I can say is PHEW! :lol:  :twisted: You guys (and gal) are the best! So much great stuff, almost all of which I either already love or was wanting to try someday! Some bonus things that I'm sure will keep me puffing for a long time! :cheers: I am really touched by your generosity!

You guys, I salute you all! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: I guess I earned that purple heart now.... Jokes on you though, now I got ALL your addresses! :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: 

This all comes on a very timely weekend! In the spirit of your giving, I went to pipe club with some of the bulk baggies to share with my curmudgeonly friends, letting them have a taste of rare and aged blends they had only heard of and of course more than enjoying my share of hard-to-get or venerated blends with good age on them. (Don't worry, I didn't give all of it away. I saved the best stuff for myself :p) AND it is my anniversary hire date at work, so this is a celebratory weekend of sorts. :cheers:

Thanks for all the fantastic stuff brothers & sister! Now it's time to  :sleep:
 
I hope you enjoy your shrapnel, along with your 'curmudgeonly friends'!
 
That's pretty much an epic haul there.  :shock:  8) 

Well done everyone.  :cheers: 
 
Total destruction. Well done Brothers. :cheers: 

Enjoy Josh.
