    Any Homebrewers Around?

    Used to. Too much hazel. There are good enough beers out there for my need. And I don't have to wash the bottles! But honest truth is even a bad homebrew is better than most commercial brews.

    Military Parade.

    Hence the term sabre rattling with tin tags.

    Preventing Mold in 5 lb Bulk Storage? Chemistry?

    Five jars. 1 lb each. If something goes bad, you still have four to fall back on.

    Military Parade.

    We see them now and then. But in US, it's just the honor guards and veterans. In some other countries, it's a whole nine yards and some. The other day, I was surfing the net and saw a shot of this grandstand with big bold foreign language and huge missile launches rolling by. As gaudy and...

    Contests and Sweepstakes

    Haven't won much of any games of luck. So, I rarely play them. Have better chance at working my arse off for things I need.

    Briar Plateau Block Pipe Stands, "Made in Italy"... By Whom and When?

    Are Windcaps Over?

    Personally feel that wind caps are overrated and unnecessary. However, when I see those domed Barling pipes, I involuntary whisper "shut up, and take my money.."

    "We'll Have This Road Punched in Three Days"

    Back when I was a kid, my father and his friends would go on their annual vacation to east coast of Korea. Now, it was in 70s. Usually, they would rent the bus, and load all the camping stuff and clothes in the cargo area. But crates of soju and beer stay in the passenger area. Of course, they...

    BBB Silver Grain - Stem not flush

    I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe the mortise needs to dry a bit. Some pipes will get tight enough the stem won't fit back into mortise after a smoke, that is if you take the pipe apart during smoke like I do.

    Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison

    I prefer vulcanite stems. It's not that big of a deal, and it's not that big of a difference. But vulcanite is definitely more comfortable. Having said that, it's not a show stopper. But I definitely noticed that I smoke vulcanite more than acrylic.

    Plastic for Storing Tobacco?

    Heard all those plastics are ending up in our body. Sooner or later, we won't need underwears.

    Teri Garr Passed Away At 79.

    Always remembered her as a silly woman on Dave Lettermen's night show. She does have number of good movies to her credit as an actress that lasted over 5 decades. RIP.

    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    It's not the cheese that matters. It's the score that counts. But still.. Cheese?

    Draw Frequency and Should I Puff Like Cigars?

    Don't think too much about the cadence. Once you are used to having pipe stuck to your lips, it will set the cadence naturally. You really don't want to huff and puff like a prom queen having her orgasm.
