    Better be a big house.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Sent a PM, to people who have expressed interest, about accommodations at the Excellent Herf.

    If you're planning to attend and didn't get the email, let me know.

    Do most folks stick around for the full three days?

    There are usually a few that stick around for a morning/mid-day smoke on Sunday, but the majority end it Saturday night and head home on Sunday.

    I'm thinking I'll take a look for a nearby hotel. I need a spot to get my introvert on.

    We use the AirBNBs just to sleep and drink coffee in the morning, maybe some breakfast, and usually just to smoke a few more cigars before hitting the sack.

    Is there a story behind this advice?

    Yes there is. In short they decided they would not provide a whole bunch of people who had reservations rooms.

    They had the rooms, but the cleaning staff walked out right when everyone who was in town for a baseball game and the Herf showed up.

    Wouldn't have been too big of an issue, but they refused to admit to anything so we kept calling hourly to be told 'We're working on your rooms now"...

    @Patrickbrick @IndustMech what time does the FIBS caravan usually pull in on Saturday?

    Well boys, I'm out of excuses, I'm out of work and not sure I ever want to go back to work. Will look into the logistics today of getting there and back, maybe a side trip to my daughter in Iowa.

    Where in Iowa?
