hell yeah, glad you found your companion (pipe). i lost one of my pipes that was a gift from my wife and daugter. i was hurting inside because of the sentimental value i had for that pipe. well ~ 2-3 years later a friend of mine walk up and said, here is your pipe you lost. i was elated too say the least. my pipe was under the front seat of his van. until the pipe was located, it stuck in my crawl. it made my day, and i never said anything to my wife or daughter. in fact i smoked that very pipe this morning.
take care.
mike.
