Retired Today WooHoo!!
Yes indeed, welcome to the club! It took me several months to find my retirement groove. I hope it goes easier for you. I retired last September but accepted an offer to come back and help with some pharmacy regulatory issues. I agreed as long as I could set my own days to come in and my own...- tuold

Pipe At The Work Place
Carver, "Departures" is a wonderful movie. I also recommend it. As far as smoking a pipe at work, here's a WDC ad from a 1919 Popular Science magazine extolling the virtues thereof:- tuold

What Is Your Prized Possession?
I gave Mr Healey a picture of my cat, Simon for the scroll carving. He wasn't crazy about doing it but I'm glad he consented =) The strings are tuned in fourths with a third in the middle, similar to a lute; d,g,c,e,a. They also come in tenor and bass sizes. The bass is tuned the same as a...- tuold

What Is Your Prized Possession?
This treble viola da gamba is my prized possession. I had it made to my specifications by Michael Healey in Guildford, England back in 1983. It brought me joy back then and still does now. It's also brought me together with others to make some pretty awesome musical experiences. There may be...- tuold

What Music Are You Listening to - April 2016?
I interrupted my binge listening of Georg Friedrich Handel's Concerti Grossi Op 6 N 1-12 to listen to mayfair70's Bill Monroe clip. I think I have everything ever recorded by Bill Monroe.- tuold

Another Wellington By Dave G.
Beautiful! Love those Wellingtons. I'd promised myself I wasn't going to get another, but recently gave in... again. Now I have four jumbos, a medium and a baby. -
Disinfecting Estate Pipes
Whenever I go to a restaurant, I first dump my food into a clean plastic bag while scrub my dish and utensils with a wash of bleach followed by boiling alcohol. That way I'm sure all the e coli, TB, hepatitis, mouse droppings and bug parts will be limited to what's already on my food.- tuold

An Old Yello Bole
Just finished cleaning this one up. It's a Yello Bole Imperial that looks a lot like the Kaywoodie Handmade series. It's huge at almost 7 inches long with a two inch tall bowl, but only weighs about two ounces. It has a push stem with a removable stinger. It's stamped, "Yello-bole" over "Cured... -
I Hate Musical Plays
"Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is an American classic, especially the Broadway performance with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou. The Tim Burton movie version was visually interesting but the singing by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter was beyond awful.- tuold

On Hipsters
At the time you were wearing that ensemble, I was wearing black jeans, a black cape my girlfriend made for me, and a black top hat (bought at Disneyland) while carrying a black walking stick. This was in Southern California, so I could only wear my thrift shop tuxedo with the long tails during...- tuold

Another F.N.G. with pipe questions
I'd like to see a picture of your Omm Paul. It's one of my favorite shapes too. I don't see them too often on ebay or offered as estates at the usual retailers. I have a Peterson 306 Aran that I like a lot. It smokes great, looks good and it can hang out of my mouth for hours without fatigue...- tuold

I Hate Musical Plays
In high school I played bass in the pit orchestra for three musicals, "Carousel", "Once Upon a Mattress" and "Oliver". I learned so much about teamwork, set design, lighting, acting and directing let alone playing, in such productions. It's probably because my parents never went to one of our...- tuold
