What's in Your "Go Kit?"
Ok, not a go-bag, but my everyday carry bag is a small rucksack from Duluth Pack, which holds 2 briars and 1 cob, a waterproof box of waterproof matches, a bic, a tamper, and usually 1 half ounce tins of a Virginia, a Balkan, an aromatic, and a random flake leftover tin. Oh, and a snickers...- aquadoc

What's in Your "Go Kit?"
Today, I doubt you could get within 20 feet of any hospital considering what is going on with C19.... Public or private. And if a hospital is allowing smoking within their walls, it is not a hospital I want taking care of me. Let's just ignore all the patients with lung or heart disease...- aquadoc

My First Mold!
Do not use antibacterial soap unless you do not value your immune system response and antibiotics being effective. Boil the lids like canners do.- aquadoc

What is a go kit? We have hospital ready bags but they are hopefully not going to be used and tobacco will never be welcome at the ER.- aquadoc

Zoom Chats
Zoom is pushing out security updates today. I have had 2 so far since 0700. Also, if you do not share your zoom invite publicly, there is little risk. The idiots that posted their zoom invite online for anyone to see are the ones getting hammered. And schools also have suffered. But...- aquadoc

Zoom Chats
Our work office has a happy hour each week. Requirements are you have a beverage of choice and there is not work chatter. It has been a great break from the monotony of work/sleep.- aquadoc

It hangs on my wall and a close friends wall. The original photo that has not been manipulated by FB and then downloaded by me for this post is much richer and detailed. It was a perfect day to be on the marsh.- aquadoc

A Question About Scotch Whisky.
100% agree with Sasquatch. This will most likely be undrinkable. Even with careful attention to a collection, you lose bottles to dry corks, etc. Oxidation may be a factor, as are many other chemical changes.- aquadoc

Woohoo!!! Major Upgrade Arrived Today - Camera Lens
In 76, I started with an OM-1 and added an OM-2 a bit later. After a few years of Nikon and Canon's in the digital arena, I went back to Olympus. I do not regret the move. I work in the field and cover 20 miles sometimes in a day. Well, at least I use to do this...now 4-8 is more like it...- aquadoc

Never Ending Daily Use Blending Tin
I never put my hand in the jar. I pour out of the jar onto my tobacco plank (a cutting board that has only seen tobacco) or a clean plate and I wipe it down with alcohol too after I have used it. and I do not worry about it...it is a habit. Nothing more or less. If you stick a spatula into a...- aquadoc

Flossing, Is It Real?
My best friend from HS is a dentist and he told me horror stories of people who chose not to floss. The evidence is real and the benefits are worth the effort. So, as much as I see it as a PITA, I floss 1-3 times daily. He did say those that choose not to floss typically are not very...- aquadoc

Never Ending Daily Use Blending Tin
I do not risk contaminating the jar with mold spores...esp in areas with high humidity. Also, as a field scientist, all excess chemicals never go back in the container for contamination risk reasons. A habit that can produce a lot of waste if you are not careful.- aquadoc

First Barling Pipe
BTW, the seller included a surprise pouch (such a large pouch for a plug) of Velvan Plug. I am pretty excited to try it this evening...if I can slice it...damn this is a dense plug. -
First Barling Pipe
My first Barling. I picked this up on eBay for a good price and I am in the process of removing an inhouse ghost that seems to be 965 Latakia. It is very tarry and strong. I like my latakia blends but I would like this pipe to be used for the rare aromatic and long Virginia smokes. From...
