    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    I like watching old movies. I remember watching with my family. Many new movies are great too. But sometimes it seems like its all been said and done before. What I hate is when they remake an old movie and screw it up and you're stuck with reruns of the remake instead of the original. They...

    Repairing Outer Shell of Meerschaum

    I sent the email. I hope you can help. The bowl inside looks usable. Need to clean to be sure. Decided not to mess with it till I hear from you.

    Repairing Outer Shell of Meerschaum

    Doh!!! I posted the stems in wrong place. Was going to make a post about the pipes I've recently bought. This is about the cracked up meer. Been looking at some other meers like this, regular pipe shaped, and they look coated as well. They're shiny like this one. I saw some others that did...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    Not planning on living there. The point was things were less expensive so you go back, buy some stuff, hang out, breathe the clean air, maybe buy a 50 merc, or one of the tri 5 chevys, or fords, or all of the above. Maybe a Chris craft boat too and just relax, go fishing, or hunting, whatever...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    It would not be good. If you don't speak the language you're dead, if you offend someone, you're dead, the slightest wrong thing and you're dead. If you know the language, including dialects if different districts, you might be ok, but round eyes, you're dead. White skin, you're dead. In some...

    Repairing Outer Shell of Meerschaum

    Well here they are. What are the copper/brass things, Yes I have a butt load of stems. Supposed to all be ebonite but I don't know if ebonite has mold flashing? So I think some are plastic. If I need more I'll just go to Vermont free hand? The pipe making website

    Repairing Outer Shell of Meerschaum

    I have a meerschaum that came in a lot. It has like a painted smooth shell. It was cracked and a piece feel off during shipping. The meer underneath looks fine. Only the shiny outer shell is all cracked. The shell is about 1/16"-1/8" thick. I'll try to get pictures up later today or tomorrow...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    I wouldn't change anything. I am who I am because of my mistakes, my regrets, my embarrassing moments, my skeletons, everything, it's all me. Its brought me to this place and time. Are things perfect? Not possible, are things like I want them? Nope, not possible. Am I happy, content? Damn...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    I'm not looking to change anything. Just visit, have some fun. Maybe get drunk. 50 year old scotch was way cheaper. I said I wouldn't mind staying if it wasn't for the racism, inequality, anti feminist, communist black list, etc.. But you can't change anything because Hitler could become the...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    Yeah I know. It was a great place until, well America screwed it up. They did almost the same thing to the Hawaiians they did to Indians. But at least they didn't give you diseased blankets, slaughter your food source, make you alcoholics on purpose, commit genocide against you, or steal your...

    Wrong Time, Wrong Place

    Bread was like 2¢, gas was like 5¢-10¢ a gallon, every thing was cheap. So that $100 went a long ways. Now $100 won't cover groceries.
