This was a tough week...good to be home.
Took the wife and kids to Rancho Murrietta (CA) for a 4H horse show. Followed it up with a trip to Cal Expo (State Fair) for another horse show. Our oldest showed her horse and did pretty good.
The only downside for me was my attempt to find 15-20 kidless minutes to sneak in a cigar. I even brought a good supply of shorties to make it easier.
First thing, I was busting my butt all week and couldn't find much free time.
Second thing, I was constantly surround by young people where I considered it a non smoking environment (and 4H rules prohibit it).
Third thing there was a lack of men there. A few Dads here and there, but none to share a beer and a cigar with. Usually our adult social nights were filled with female non smokers and teenagers popping in and out of our social time.
Well, I guess there are actually some things more important than finding time to have a smoke. Funny thing was, I hardly had time to miss it....till now.
My reward, after parking the RV in the front of the house was about 1 1/2 hrs of a cigar and a couple martini's. Wife stayed inside...just me and the stars and a nice cloud of smoke.
