   Thanks for the article and video editing Bob.

   Jeez, I was talking fast. I’ll try to talk slower next time. It’s the Jersey Boy coming out in me. I’m like The Wolf “I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this”.

   I’m all about the standard shaped pipes too. I just think they are classy.

   I look like I’m having fun there because I actually was having a lot of fun.

   Thanks Bob,
   I enjoyed that very much.
   I know why you had the speed problem Kevin (though hardly noticeable).
   You had no pipe.

   Thanks again Bob, that was cool.

   Thanks for the article Bob; and great job on the video work and pictures. I like that ad lib slogan Kevin, hand made pipes at almost factory prices. I like the fact that Mr. Hayes places such great emphasis on the technical aspects of the pipe. It creates a sense of confidence in the pipe’s performance.

   That’s right Lawrence! I didn’t have a pipe, and I should have.

   Larry, thanks for that. I was trying to get some promotion in there for Bob. No offense to him, but I guess he is a pipe maker and not a salesman. We did this totally impromptu, as you could tell.

   If we had planned it, I would have coached Bob to speak a little more “promotional”, but it was still a good promotion for his pipes.
