    Get the right saddle adjusted correctly and the issue goes away completely.

    New Commissioned Table Pipe

    I'm intrigued with the idea, curious to hear how it smokes. Would be convenient as a desk pipe while working.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Strange New Worlds has been pretty good so far, they don't seem to be casting and writing to an agenda to please every possible special interests group. Discovery felt like the writers and directors had a diversity checklist that they had to complete as part of the series and it took away from...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    You are right, at least they have closure. Lost at sea is an ending that has no closure, they know definitively that while they are gone they are not lost and they do not need to hold out for the slim chance that they will be found.

    Two Power Crazed Multi Billionaires will Cage Fight: Why?

    Hmmm I know that Zuck trains in MMA, or at least has photo ops on him "training". Not so sure about Musk .. weight and reach vs training, could be an interesting fight if they go through with it...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    We do know that it is a relatively new submersible that was designed with checking the box for "not designed by a 50 year old white guy" as part of the design criteria. And wise decisions were made like, not having a wired control backup and relying on a Bluetooth game controller as primary...

    Suggestions for the Gettysburg area?

    I wouldn't waste the time going to Christie's. Tried two blends from them recently and they are ones I am not likely to even finish.

    Wasn't sure, no context with the link.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    At least they died doing something they were excited about and presumably enjoying until that last instant. Rest in peace, and may your loss prove to have some purpose.
