April Showers...OF DESTRUCTION::: BOB Bombing Run

[juanmedusa]

Sweet obliteration!

 

[d4klutz]

Very nice! My plane finally got on its way due to considerable delays. My ordinance should be arriving Monday at the latest. I am sorry for lone wolfing it this month. I love the smell of destruction to a deserving target.

 

[Blackhorse]

Aww...every mission needs a delayed fuse frag to kinda clear off the rescue workers, greedy relatives lookin' far a stray morsel and the like. Keeps the fear burning strong. Good fer business, don't ya know. After all, we got a a reputation to maintain!

 

[DrumsAndBeer]

Oh Yeah!.

Nice haul Michael.

Sweet destruction....

 

[Jevverrett]

That's a helluva haul.. :cheers:

 

[Fr_Tom]

There ummm... might be a plane that mysteriously only made it from Plymouth to Ft. Wayne and then stopped for repairs or something. I am not sure what is going on with USPS.

 

[juanmedusa]

Excellent array. And a great haul. Enjoy it all, brother.

Btw, I knew there was some tea! I was waiting for the inventory to come out because in the first set of pictures, the second picture had a bag over on the right with dark contents and a yellowish or antique looking label on it. Before you posted the inventory, I was showing my wife the pictures and I said that I thought that might actually be tea! Was it that one? Love me some coffee and tea. Enjoy it.

 

[Jevverrett]

That is a truly brutal bombing.

 

[Dottleman]

Hahahaha! OMG! That's the nicotine version of carpet bombing!!!!!

Woo-Hoo!

:bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom: :bom:

 

[Fr_Tom]

Recon tells me I have had a direct hit. Better late than never...

I don't know if I should blame headwinds or a pilot with a girlfriend in Fort Wayne.

 

[mejoshee]

WOO! :cheers:

 

[DrumsAndBeer]

WOO! :cheers:

Awesome avatar Josh.

 

[gravel]

I'm proud I could serve the squadron as a decoy.

Yeah, but it's also pretty scary!  Especially if you are hit by more than one!

So says the one who has admirably served as decoy more than any other. :bom:

 

[Ocelot55]

Lady and Gentlemen, I have returned from the Chicago pipe show and I am very pleased at how well this mission went without direct oversight by command. We've developed a well lubricated destruction machine. Congrats to the "lucky bombee" as well as Mr. gravel for serving as the decoy.

Well, I am a fairly large and therefore easy target! :elephant:

Updated damage report:
Yesterday brought a welcome calm in the storm for both myself and my postman.  I picked up a few boxes of mason jars and started jarring and logging all this wonderful tobacco.  I quit last night after logging 22 containers, and I'm not half done!
But the peace was short lived as today I was hit once again.

Bulk:
Newminster #1 All Natural
Pegasus  (smoking this right now   )
H&H Grandma’s Kitchen
Carter Hall (14 Oz)

Tins:
C&D Mississippi Mud
Esoterica And So To Bed

And 3 more packs of pipe cleaners.

This was absolutely brutal.  The first hit came on Wednesday (but the bomb didn't go off till Thursday) and that was followed with strikes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday!  Apparently you all have no mercy :no:

I really can't express how special this was for me.  It's not about the tobacco (don't get me wrong, I'm going to smoke it all).  Its more about this odd relationship I have had the pleasure of developing with so many kind and generous folks all over the country.  I'm proud to consider you all friends and look forward to getting back in the pilot seat for the next mission.
Sincerest thanks,
Mike.

Yes, that was the tea. I have not tried it yet, but it smells unbelievably good!
