Thoughts On Oil Changes
LOL!! I am not sure about other countries but when you buy a new Chevrolet in Texas you get $10 oil changes for life of vehicle, or at least I did. It’s not actually $10 because they charge you for filter and tax so it’s about $17. The kicker is the oil is conventional oil. They want to do...- Old_Newby

When is the tobacco bowl done?
As others stated when it starts tasting bad. Could be ashy from ashes sifting down into unburnt tobacco or getting into stem, but most often for me is the off putting from moisture buildup (saliva). It took me a while to figure out I need to run a pipe cleaner to bowl a couple times during a...- Old_Newby

Thoughts On Oil Changes
Anyone here a mechanic? Question for everyone is what is your opinion on oil changes? Specifically would you rather get a standard petroleum based oil changed every 3-5K miles for $15, or full synthetic every 10K miles for $30? Basically who thinks using full synthetic for twice the miles is...- Old_Newby

Is it Safe?
Oh it’s a whirlwind. Early in the unlimited sex is great but after kids that goes away mostly. You love them and if they are good mothers you are lucky. I have a great wife. BUT they are all crazy in their own way. If they have only 1 insanity you are lucky. My brother married a girl who...- Old_Newby

Well It Finally Happened
I have heard this before but need to consider it. I find myself always rubbing flakes out thoroughly anyway. But my weakness is I never plan ahead and never wait for a rub out or any tobacco to dry out 10-15 minutes. I just load and go.. maybe I should also let it breath 15 minutes.- Old_Newby

At age 59 that my personal motto except for work. After I retire I want to live in a secluded cabin in the woods and only go to town once a month for supplies.- Old_Newby

Well It Finally Happened
Been pipe smoking 4 years. Trying lots of tobacco blends and if I don't like them I put them in a “No” box to maybe sell or trade. A plastic water proof / airtight box under the bed. I have read here or heard on YT if you don't like a blend dont get rid of it but rather just set it aside and...- Old_Newby

Is it Safe?
I know there are 50 blogs already but having a little trouble searching and finding my answer. My brain tells me the answer, but we know how women can confuse us. Women seem to know a lot more about germs than men and my wife is a germaphobe. I acquired some old pipes off eBay and now my...- Old_Newby
