You are about the 5th person I have heard of who traveled by plane recently and got the Rona. Damn flying pitri dish.
Hope you get well with no lingering issues.

Fly out from Boston July 20th to Milwaukee. Then fly out of Milwaukee to Boston on the 29th. I'll have my 2 teenagers and an elderly person in tow (my brother's mother in law). Brother picking us up in Milwaukee then crash in Waupun.

Then me and the kids going up to GB for a few days to visit my folks (probably the 21st to the 25th). Leave my brother's mother in law behind in Waupun.

While in GB prolly do a tour of GB area - a day at Lambeau field and Hall of Fame tour and stuff. Kid's they haven't seen it yet and, let's face it, what else do you do in GB? Grampa and Grandma will spoil them and buy whatever they want.

Then back down to Waupun at my brothers house. Going to the EAA airshow Wed the 27th. I'm super psyched on the air show. On Wed they have the standard 4 hr daytime air show then another 2 hr one at night with fireworks and $hit.

We have some tentative plans while in Waupun. Maybe visit the Horicon Marsh for a day hike. Maybe hook up with cousins. Maybe go to my brothers shooting range and shoot at some targets.

It's rather fluid. Dates on when we will be in GB are TBD but looking like July 21 or 22 until 25th or 26th.

He'll be like 17 yrs 4 months when we get there so it's kinda close to 18. If we add in the time zone difference of 1 hr/day over 17 yrs and 4 months... toss in a couple leap year days.... probably gets us close to the 18 yr mark... we'd have to do the math on a cocktail napkin if the establishment would let it slide.

(Oooooohhh.... the Ex would be furious if she knew I let him come into a cigar bar and smoke a cigar... That kinda makes it even more enticing)

I think I have cigars older than him that I've gotten though trades here and there from folks on this forum. I'm gonna have to go dive in my tuperdors. I know for sure I have some stashed away from bombs you guys hit me with around the time he was born.

This adds to the conundrum... is it legal for a 17 yr old to smoke a Cuban cigar in the US that was gifted from Buckwheat which is as old, if not older, than the person actually smoking it?

(Ya gotta read that sentence slowly as it has a lot of lawyer like dribble babble)

It's like a "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" even though it's not a Churchill size cigar.

I've always felt that a first car should be at least as old as the first driver, largely due to being saddled with a 75 Buick Apollo as mine.

So, top safety picks for 2005-06 according to the IIHS:
Honda Civic 4 door
Subaru Legacy
Saab 9-3
Ford 500/Mercury Montego

Cross reference with most reliable vehicle lists from that time, and you want a Honda Civic.

As of a year or two back it became illegal for anyone under 18 in the US to smoke cigars or other lesser tobacco products. So you can do it, but you'll need a large privacy fence so the neighbors don't report you and under a tree so the drones can't spot you.

Rick, I have heard the same thing from a few people recently.

Ah yes, the good ol’ Buick Apollo. I know we talked about this earlier. Not very fuel efficient or stylish.

My first car was a ‘66 4-door Plymouth Valiant 200 that my Dad and oldest brother picked out for me in the Summer of ‘73. I had no say, in fact, didn’t even know they had bought me a car till I saw it parked in front of my Dad’s workshop. Iirc, it was either $600 or $800 and I had to pay my Dad back with money from my summer job. [gonzo]

Used the car to go back ‘n forth to school and my part-time job but two years later I bought a ‘68 Road Runner…and then a few months later, the gas crisis reared it’s ugly head…talk about terrible timing! 🤦

+1 on the Civic.

A Toyota Corolla is also a safe, dependable vehicle (…although not sure about it’s performance in the snowy Winter…).

surprisingly roomy inside? was that one of the Chryslers that had push button transmissions?

Man-o-man! I remember paying $1.50+/gallon during the late 70's. As expensive as gas is today, it still was probably relatively more expensive back then. But, I haven't looked at the present value, so I am not entirely certain...
