    Telling my Parents I Started Smoking

    I assume you still live at home? Sounds like you got your head on straight. You take care of your body. That speaks volumes on the decisions you've made with respect to your health and well being, but it's best to respect your parents rules while living under their roof. Having said that, if...

    Good beginner tobacco?

    Personally, if I knew then, what I know now, I would NOT start with an aromatic. Nor would I start with a tasteless codger blend. I would start with a medium English like Low Country Cooper, or GLP Chelsea Morning. The flavors and tastes you will experience will be a true eye opener to the...

    Whats in Your Time Capsule?

    Outstanding job! I love it! So you just put the mylar bag of goodies down in the hole with sand and debris? You might want to do some small engraving on the new stone directly above the hole, in order to at least give future owners the opportunity to notice that there is something underneath...

    Cheap Walkie Talkies Work!

    They come in particularly handy in remote areas where there is no cell phone service. Besides, with a cell phone, they have to call you and you have to answer it. With a walkie talkie, they just push the button and talk, and you hear it. Great for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, backpacking...

    What’s for Lunch?

    It's Wednesday! That's when my neighborhood Tex-Mex has a lunch special on cheese enchiladas. I try to get my fix once a month, and today is the day. Chips and Salsa are always complementary in a Tex-Mex restaurant. The one on the left is medium spicy, carefully made, slow cooked, and...

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    I have indeed! I feel fortunate to have experienced some things most people don't get a chance to experience. Sailing the Sea's in the Merchant Marines to living in the mountains as a self-subscribed mountain man, along with a whole lot of shit stuffed in between. It hasn't been very...
