bolivr Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 G'day Steve, good to see you back here. Much the same for me - too much time spent at work with a new job but hey, there's mouths to feed. Been a bit of a quiet year for me for buying cigars - hope that changes. Most importantly, glad to see your health is back. Let us know when you are in Melbourne - I'd be up for a smoke.

JoshMP Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Bet you'll be seeing a lot of "just working" from everyone here this time of year, certainly true for me. A nice , relaxing christmas spent with the family and several good cigars. Highlight of the last couple of months would have to be meeting ramses and picking his brain about all things cigar and cuba related. And smoking a great custom rolled!

CanuckSARTech Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Glad to see you back, Oz. Saw you've been posting like a madman in the last 24-hours or so! Hope you got over your health humps - cheers and best wishes then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuscookies Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Cool thread Ozcuban. I hope your medical problems have improved. Been a very interesting December for me. Lot's of change for the better. Hopefully things continue to improve. I spent a very nice and quiet xmas and new years with my wife and kids. I did not buy any cigars in December, or Novemever for that matter, as I am stocked up with way to many as it is. By my calculations, I have enough cigars to last me until 2015 sitting in my humidors. I will be going in for surgery tomorrow, if I live I won't be able to smoke for a few weeks anyway, so it is time for me to just relax and heal. I'm smoking a fine diplo 2 as I write this, knowing that it will be a while before I enjoy another, but it is all good. Hope you all have a wonderful 2011!

zuma Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well it is good to be back posting again ,thought i would start up this thread ,about what members have been up to lately.I my self have been absent for a little while from the forum as of late ,mainly due to work commitments and a couple of bouts of bad health bad Virus... Hey Oz, it seems we've suffering from the same too-much work virus... same story here, work+travel has been draining the time out of my life... Though I am taking a break till the 10th (and hence my reappearance here), the sad part is that I can see the clouds gathering for a similar overdose of work in this year's horizon. But then, I remind myself, that no-work is the same as no-cigar. To all those of us who have taken a big hit on the health front (and those who have been alright as well), I hope the new year brings us all better health and prosperity and better cigars BTW Oz... that is a bloody sweet watch you've got yourself.

OZCUBAN Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi all just typing a few replies, Yesterday was the day from Hell (work wise ) first day back temp was in mid 30's Celsius and inside the factory where i work it was about 70 to 75 percent humidity not to much fun at all what we would call a real sweat box today can only be better cheers all OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZCUBAN Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi Oz,Good to see you around again. I've been off FoH (and computers in general) for a little while myself. Nice to have a break from them after working on a PC all year. Hope all's good at your end. I'm lucky to still be on Hol's, couldn't imagine working in a warehouse if the heat is anything like it's been up here in Brisbane. Cheers, hope you get some cooler weather. Thanks Brendan Cooler weather here for the next couple ,but yesterday was the worst ever for me, where I work, coming back from the break I only had a 2 day week ,as I normally work 3 /13 hour shifts,and i thought how hard can it be Just before and after lunch it was about 28.c out side with a R/H of 85%. Inside it must of been about 35.c and 90 + R/H mainly due to crap evaporative air cons and three big printing presses churning out heaps of heat Ten finally the Rain arrived i had almost forgotten what rain was like Back to the dry heat of 35.c + in the next couple for the foreseeable future And that was my day in the life for the last couple Cheers OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
