    How is Zack Doing?

    Thanks Guys! It was a really weird deal that left the docs shaking their heads...The worse part is that I was in such good shape from 80 miles a week on the bike and weight lifting daily, that I completely faked the docs out- I looked really good until I completely hit the wall. If I had been...

    How is Zack Doing?

    Yeah, yeah.... She always looks fabulous! I'm actually feeling good now- if you missed all the drama, the short version is I inhaled a small piece of steakbone maybe a year ago. That caused a massive infection in the left lung, Beginning in Nov, I had a fever for a month before it was diagnosed...

    The Meer Goes Pop

    The one meer I've carved from a solid block was flawless- until I took it and dipped it into hot beeswax to finish it without preheating it first. The thermal shock caused a minor crack in the bowl...and now it's my favorite shop pipe. Hopefully one of the guys who deals with meers all the time...

    A Little Happiness From 2nd Hand Smoke....

    Guys, it's been driving me crazy- I've had a serious issue with pneumonia and major lung surgery that's dragged on for months...and resulted in absolutely no smoking and no pipe making due to the dust. I'm in the recovery mode now, returned to training on my indoor bike trainer, and back to...

    DUI Blues

    I was trying to figure out why a 4 year old thread was resurrected.....and it turns out someone with one post inserted a link to a DUI attorney....I'll let this run...but edited his post....

    A NON Political Trump Question.

    OK...a non-political Trump post.... There are 3 possibilities- 1) Everyone will stay with the intent of the OP and it will stay non-political (When I look outside and see flying piggies, I will believe this) 2) I can check the thread every 5 minutes until someone makes it political and I have...

    Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated....

    Yep- I aspirated a small piece of steakbone months ago. The normal bacteria in my mouth ended up in my lung with the steakbone causing an infection and all the other stuff...

    Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated....

    Thought I would share one of the weirdest health stories that's been causing me a bit of a nightmare for months. I guess maybe 9 months ago, I had a mild dry cough- no big deal, was going to wait until my normal annual to see my Doc. We went to the pipe show in Chicago, same cough and was...

    GPS/HELL NO

    Google Maps is fabulous. The apps on car nav systems I never use. I remember the Dark Ages when the first Garmin GPS systems were $600. I had to reroute across Alligator Alley in South Florida (I 75) due to a huge fire. I kept getting directed to smaller and smaller roads and finally a dirt...

    Got a Cold? Don't Smoke A Pipe

    Don't push it- For the past two weeks, I've been dealing with a really nasty virus....and during a violent coughing spasm, choked up a 1'8" piece of steakbone that apparently has been in my upper respiratory system for months. The XRay Friday showed pneumonia that we're hitting aggressively with...

    Something missing from this pipe babe?

    Sometimes it's hard to tell which post takes it over the edge...It might have been this one "I'm off this site before the masturbation starts. Probably too late though." or maybe this one..."I'm not gonna kick her out of bed for farting".... But in either case...We're done on this one... Thanks...
