Manual Transmissions
Whoa... From manual transmissions to cash, bitcoin, gold, and the “gub’mint”! Short and sweet: * Love a manual transmission - but on back roads, little traffic, twists, turns, and weather. I learned on a “3 on the tree” forklift when I was 15... * Love a current automatic for traffic and daily...- Ctbill

Environmental Humidity and Pipe Gurgling
Strangely enough, we get our fair share of humidity here in New England. All year long... it’s not uncommon to have 33F and 90% humidity. Sleeting!? I do notice the “environmental” impact when I smoke outside or out in the garage. Things gurgle... Multiple re-lights...- Ctbill

Heavy Weather
I live in New England - Connecticut & Vermont. We have had NO winter yet. Very depressing... the thing I love most about living here is that we have EXACTLY 4 seasons. I personally love the extremes of -15F in the winter with snow piled up, to 99F and 90% humidity in July or August. BUT -...- Ctbill

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
Nope, short decline/pain period. Period. Short being the operative word. I can take it... Otherwise, I’ll find a nice bridge abutment at speed...?- Ctbill

Piping Pet Peeves
Respectfully, I know lots of folks with 20-30-40 years on the job, but one year experience...? Sometimes old IS just “old”...fixed opinion, no consideration, no possible advancement, set... Not good IMHO... But this should not be associated generically with a pipe smoker.- Ctbill

Piping Pet Peeves
To further clarify my “old man” reference: I encourage “younger” folks to try pipe smoking, for the pure enjoyment. Slow down, sniff the world. A wide, deep hobby. I would like the association with pipe smoking to be more contemplative and thoughtful, Not OLD...- Ctbill

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
I’m ok with pipe smoking, non inhaling, 1-2 bowls a day risk. I’m also ok with being an avid motorcyclist, and am fortunate to own a few, and ride them often. I also drive 45,000 miles a year - in my car. I eat right, and exercise often. I want a “steep” curve to my end of life. Meaning...- Ctbill

Piping Pet Peeves
My pet peeve is the general notion that “old men” smoke pipes...and I generally don’t like the association (even if positive?) of “my grandpa used to smoke a pipe”. I’m not an old man... The good part: I really don’t care. This is MY thing...and I enjoy it.- Ctbill

Your Piping Joys
I love the quiet down time that is my pipe smoking time. Weekend afternoons on the patio or deck, weekday evenings down in my “swamp” (basement). Slow down, reflect, contemplate. Music mostly. Driving home from work sometimes (with music). Walking my dog sometimes - a slow meander. And of...- Ctbill
