  How do I start with so much to say? How do I end? Bob Engnath is my Father and will always be my Father. No one can, or will ever change that, or take that away from me. He knows and understands more about me than anyone. We shared a sense of humor. And I have learned so much from him. He helped me figure out which Cigars are good ones. He gets me a sampler of Cigars, 2 each of 5 different brands. Now if he could have done that a bit sooner I may have been able to avoid the Cigars that smell like thay came out of the bussiness end of a horse when you smoke them. I think he still wants to see me turn green while smoking one. I think he was very pleased to see me start smoking pipes. Seeing as he smoked pipes back in the service. Thankfully I still have alot of the Cigars from the last sampler batch, and it may be a very long time before I smoke the last one. One of his talents was story telling, and I think that's why we have so many friends. I heard them enough to remember most of them. I just hope that I will have some some good stories of my own to tell one day. I hope that I'll be able to fill his Red Wing's, which is going to be hard. Seeing as he wore a wide size 13 and I wear a size 12 that's not that wide. He's with me and watching over me which is a great comfort and alot of help. Just as long as he isn't hovering over us because that drive's me and Mom nuts. We got enough doing that right now. I know I've got alot to learn. It's going to be a while before my grinding is up to Dad's standards, or that I'm truly happy with the results. They say my Dad was the God of Grinding, a giant that stood very tall in more ways than one. Hopfully I will be able to fill his legacy of greatness. I woke up the other day and you know that time when you're coming out of sleep and you're not quite coherent yet? That time when you don't remember the day before? For that few secounds it was wonderful, Now all I have to do is make that time last longer and longer. Ladies and Gentleman Bob Engnath has left the building and the Burr King is cooling.
