There is one more package due. It's scheduled for tomorrow delivery. My mail is usually delivered around 4 PM. So I'll try to get this thing in the mail Thursday. I'll try to get it weighed tomorrow before I head out to my CT appointment in the AM. That way I have an idea how much it will cost to mail.

Just attempted to move everything into a 120 quart cooler.

The cigars fit, barely, but the swag doesn't.

Pretty sure, well kinda think, that everything will fit in a 150 quart.

The 120 quart I have is ragged. So it looks like I'm gonna drop ship one from Amazon directly to Dave. I'm gonna box up all the smokes and send them to him as well. He should get everything by Monday. From there he's gonna take care of getting it over seas.

There is one more package due in from fishy1 today. Later to today, I'll post his contents and a picture of everything before I pack it up.

Thanks to all who participated.

Everything is boxed up and ready for the trip to the Post Office in the AM.

I weighed myself on a bathroom scale holding the box, and without the box. There was a 69.8 pound difference.

No, I don't think it counts if you mooch for someone else. You're working on BOTL of the year, much better title.

Thank you Anthony and to everyone that donated. I appreciate it more than you know and my guys/gals will appreciate it too.

Without being specific, I am now in the short hairs! Tons to get done in a very short amount of time. Thank God that I have a great woman that has been through this way too many times, here to hold down the fort. If I am not on here much in the next week or so, I will talk to you on the other side(of the world, that is).

Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Just left the Post Office.

Good news and bad news.

First the bad news:
The bathroom scale was off by a pound.

The good news:
The box weighed 71.5 pounds, not 69.5 pounds.

Since it was over 70 pounds, I had to open the box and fill a MFR with nutz n stuff.

So there are 2 boxes headed to David.


THE BOX - 9505511005405065336955
Overflow - 9505511005405065337693

Both packages scheduled for delivery on Monday the 9th.

Nope. But, it may be possible to call the local post office and give them the tracking numbers. They may be able to tell you what time they should get there.

^^don't think my lungs or taste buds could take that.

I am still coming up with a game plan for the cigars. I think some organized cigar nights along with a "trusted agent" on each of the crews with full access to the coolerdor. If it in any way feels like myself or crew are hoarding the cigars...I will smack myself around and make sure the access is better.

Why would you level a mans porch before he's about to leave. His neighbors are going to have to look at that giant hole where his porch once stood, it's not right I say!

Sifting through the rubble that was my porch. I was home when it was dropped off and the mailman started to warn me as soon as I opened the door. Usually we have a mail woman and she is tiny. Pretty sure she would have had some problems getting the package to the door.

I have just started looking at the contents and I am overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone that participated. Bombed Bombed


Thank you.

Speaking for myself, no thanks needed. Instead, it is me / us thanking YOU for your service as well as your crew. Stay safe my friend!

The winners were definitely us while we were downrange. In just over 4 months, myself, my crew and a lot of others at the deployed location smoked about 500 cigars. I left the remaining with another guy that was going to keep the tradition going. It was a fantastic gift that kept a lot of us happy downrange. I can't thank the BOTL and SOTLs on here for all that they gave me and my troops.
