Looking Good, Pipesmagazine
I haven't been around for a few years either. I only smoke around one bowl a day, but I also stocked up on various McClelland tins. I found I was down to 9 tins and thought I'd order more, that's when I found out they were no longer producing pipe tobacco. I'm glad Peterson picked up producing...- trailspike48

Yankees Please Take Your Weather Back!
I recently left the Teton Valley in Idaho for the Ms. Gulf Coast. Flat loving the decision. I occasionally need more than a long sleeve tee shirt and we even had freeze warnings for two nights. I don't miss checking the temp and finding double digit numbers below zero.- trailspike48

Lucite stem bending ... the easy way
I've used a heat gun, but lacking this tool I'd opt for Brads boiling water method. TopD, I heard the same sound many years ago while on a free foot tour through Vietnam. Not my favorite memory.- trailspike48

Woodworkers/Furniture Makers: let's see your creations.
First one is a pie safe. What can't be seen is this picture is the punched tin panels. Each one has over 1,000 hand punched holes to form a pattern. The second one is a bed I made from trees that were removed from my lot in the Colorado Mtns, before I built my log house. I decided to take up a...- trailspike48

I'm Back! (Lucy, I'm Home)
Thanks for the kind words and warnings of the critters of the deep south. Trailboss, that picture of chigger damage says a lot. I managed to get into chiggers in the Colorado mountains and I empathize with the week long misery. This area also has a heartworm issue for dogs, and way to many ants...- trailspike48

It's Really Cold
The topic of this post is why I moved out of Teton Valley, Idaho. It should be in the 70's all week where I'm now located. I do apologize for my smugness, I'm just loving my new location. Old Cajun, you are right about the Global Warming, or as I've started to think about it as Global Weather...- trailspike48

I'm Back! (Lucy, I'm Home)
I remodeled my home, sold the house, lived in a rental condo for two months, and finally purchased and moved into my new home. I had to wait over a month for internet service, but I'm up and running now. I haven't been active for around 6 months it seems. I've been lurking around this site, so...- trailspike48
