    Newbie found out about PAD

    Cleaning With Alcohol - What Alcohol?

    @Sirsmokesalot, Wife and I are planning on moving to Wilmington in the next two years... after I finish Nursing school. Any thoughts on the area / city? EDIT: sorry got excited and forgot to add that I use wild turkey 101. I do not drink it much, but at 11$ a bottle I think it works fine...

    What to do with an estate pipe
