    Fishing With Your Pipes

    Not gonna lie.., part of me hoped this was tales of posting “WTB”. Haven’t fished in ages. Last time with the family we caught panfish. I’m the oldest of 4 and the youngest was the only girl. Since there’s no minimum size for bluegill et al, Dad kept every microscopic fish she pulled out...

    Mixed Navy Flake and Old Dark Fired

    Eyeballing it, to be sure. I have a stainless steel tray that I mix "about the right amount" in. These days, I'm usually close enough that there's nothing worth mentioning left over but if there is some, I put it in a jar with other odds and ends.

    Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

    Heh... glad to be a Presbyterian where I can go pipe shopping with my pastor at the ren faire after a pint in the food court :) (Granted, we don't smoke *in* church, but still) But directly to the question... I like the calming effect of my pipe, and especially when I'm out in the yard first...
