I have an Omega D3 enlarger in my garage. I had planned on building a darkroom but sometimes life decides to not let you do what you want.- pappymac

I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

I have been using Adobe Photoshop since it first came out in 1990 and Camera Raw when it was released as part of Photoshop 7.0. (I also learned Pagemaker & Quark Express when they were first introduced. I...- pappymac

Aromatics in storage.
I sometimes wonder if we get lost in semantics. Wine will age in the bottle but once bottled, whiskey doesn't continue to age. I don't think unopened tins of aromatics age over a long period of time. I think there are some aromatics that tend to improve over the first year or two because the...- pappymac

I was digging around into my cellar and found a tin of McClelland's Piper's Choice Black Tie stamped "570114". I bought it in May of 2017. I thought it was about time to open it.- pappymac

Sell Me On Clay Pipes
I have eight clay pipes. When I open a new tin of tobacco, the first bowl is usually smoked in one of my clay pipes. Yes, the bowl gets hot. If you don't coat the end of the stem with beeswax or something, your lips will stick to the pipe. (I melt the beeswax and then apply it to a clay pipe... -

Things I found Thrifting
One of my sisters makes her "mad money" running a shop at a flea market in SE Texas. She will go to thrift stores and other flea markets to find items that she can sell in her shop or on-line.

I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.
That reminds me of the time I was traveling on military orders which required me to get to a location and remain overnight at a local hotel. The first hotel I tried, the desk clerk wouldn't allow me to check-in because I was under the age of 26. She refused even when I showed her that I was...- pappymac

J.R.R Tolkien ...
Now that is fair criticism. I've found that their are a number of "great" writers that I don't enjoy reading. I personally had a hard time reading Stephen King.- pappymac
