    My other obsession

    Well, thanks for that Kingsmedic. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. The inability to play that is,....not the arthritis. Here's an cruddy pic of my favorite, 1978 CBS model.

    One Of Those Days

    Sorry to hear that Mason. The only time I destroyed a turbo, it was on a fire truck, in Oklahoma! I pulled out of the station and "WHAM!".....immediate loss of power and enough white smoke to cause 6 lanes of traffic to come to a screeching halt. I accompanied it to the shop and was given the...

    My other obsession

    :D Welcome to the forums Kingsmedic, these guys are a lot of fun! I'd been playing since 1970 or so,....but can't anymore. :cry: Just the other night I tried to play one more time, but arthritus has pretty much put my left hand out of commission. I may have a few up for sale pretty quick...

    Best way to clean tarnished sterling silver band

    Sorry buddy. I get a little carried away sometimes. :? Actually..I like the patina on silver...but I guess that's what I get for being a such a big fan of Antiques Roadshow. :D Silly looking appraiser to old lady from Duluth; "At auction....I'd give it a value of about $13. However had you not...

    Best way to clean tarnished sterling silver band

    Jewelers rouge and a cloth. It only requires a couple seconds with a light touch. Pull the stem and with thumb and forefinger take a couple spins around the silver. If the finish comes off the pipe throw it out 'cause it's a piece of $#!+.

    Boycott List

    I try to stay out of Wallmart, but that's about it. If I were to boycott even a tiny percentage of the businesses and corporations that use my money to promote things contrary to my beliefs,...I'd have to move to a farm, grow my family's food and learn to spin and weave.

    Penzance in stock

    Hobie; PM me your address again. I'll send you a couple flakes. I've got about 6 left,...it was gifted to me, so the least I can do is share. :D edit; Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my pack of Penzance showed up today, I'm a happy man, that brings my agglomeration to almost two pounds! :mrgreen:

    Missouri Meerschaum burnout

    I've got tree MM's and I dearly love them. Of the first two I ordered one got so hot I thought it was gonna burst into flames at any second, it had burned pretty bad. I just smiled, tossed it and ordered two more. One of the three is actually my favorite pipe at this time, and I've got some...

    In Regards to Tattoos

    Smoking At Work

    According to Fire Dept Policies and Procedures we are forbidden to smoke either on the rigs or in the station,......we are to be 25'-0" from any public access. Being a senior Lieutenant with 25 years on the job,....and a rebelious butt-head, I've made it known that they can shove their rules up...

    Penzance in stock

    Stonehaven is a dark, rich, ribbon cut English. Thick, creamy and sweet smoking, the tin note is something like,.....well....if you could bake a dark rich spice cake out of tobacco and allow it to age in a tin to perfection,...that's what it reminds me of. Mine is almost three years old and I...

    Hey... Any Of You Maniacal Pipe Smokers Have Facebook Pages, Huh?

    Correction to my previous post, you can deactivate (not "delete) your account. Close enough for me.
