The Cigar
Rocky Patel Grand Reserva 6 x 50
No disclosure on contents. MSRP $10.
This cigar is a full, but not knock you over full. It pretty much stays the same form the start. It is rich, but not creamy. For as dark and oily of a wrapper as this is, we both would expect more smoke to come out. While it is strong, it not a pepper bomb. The retrohale is nothing but pepper, but not getting it on the draw.Â
The Liquor
Pappa’s Pilar Rum Ernest Hemmingway
It is listed as having Vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, honey, shaerry and port on the nose. Sweet, earthy, vegetal tones with spice bourbon, almond and apricaot flavors. 86 Proof blended in bourbon barrels, port, and sherry casks. MSRP $42.
Ron Call is the Master Blender.
Nice dark amber color to the rum. It is nice to get the sherry aroma from this rum. We both really like this rum. Give it a try.
The More
Trip to Branson, MO
We just got back from Branson, MO in the Ozark Mountains. Darrel had been there numerous times, but me and the wife did not. The “strip” there is pretty cool. It was described to me someone there as “Redneck Las Vegas”. The Strip is full of all kinds of neat museums, shows, miniature golf, go carts, and a bunch of other things. Â
We rented a minivan for four adults and two teenages to go to and from. This is a fob/push button start. It also has a feature of turning off the engine when vehicle is stopped for any more than a few seconds. Not a feature that I want. When the engine gets turned off, the A/C turns off. It was quite annoying. Turns out it must have been annoying to a lot of folks since Chrysler put a button on the console to keep that from happening. The annoying thing about the button was you had to press it again after stop to eat or get gas. Craziness. Aside from that the Pacifica was a pretty nice little vehicle.

SpaceX Starlink
Back in Episode 80 we talked about SpaceX Starlink. Wanted to give a few more details on this. They currently have about 400 of the estimated 40,000 satellites already up. They are being put in a low earth orbit. Along with knowing their position over the earth they also know where they are in relation to each other. There is also a collision avoidance system build into them. So if an object is coming close to it, or they are coming close to an object, they just maneuver out of the way. When they know their useful lifespan is about done, it will point itself towards the earth and head that way. By doing this, once they are done, they will not contribute to the space junk that is already orbiting the earth.
They are designed to initially be for folks that live above the 27th parallel. The transfer speed is estimated to be 500Mbs.
Will SpaceX let us know when one is going to come down to earth so you can go out in the night sky and watch for it burning up? Can you pay for having a shower of satellites for an event?

If you talk a lot does your mouth sweat? How would you know? What if you see food and then drool? Then you don’t know if your mouth just got a workout or you’re hungry. Is drool mouth sweat?
