    Post 6001: A Time Odyssey

    I remember when I first joined this forum. I was clueless about smoking pipes, and knew of no other smokers. The Tinderbox in Tacoma, WA and this forum took me in as an infant and ingrained in me the knowledge I would need to enjoy this endeavor. Pipe smoking isn't for everyone, and for the life...

    Help Identifying This Pipe

    Hey all. I was digging through my pistol cases to find a fun pipe to smoke and I came upon this one. Forthcoming life of mw, I can't remember where I got it, but it smokes wonderfully. It has no stem logo and there is a gr circled on the bottom of the pipe. See pics. Any help is appreciated...

    Hospital Stay in W. Tennessee

    So my dad needed a relatively minor surgery that does require an overnight stay. The weird started almost immediately. Outside of the maternity ward my child was born at, I have never been forced to show ID and register to visit a hospital. In addition to the security guard and lady sitting in...

    The Strip Club.

    So I rode into work with my wife. I do this when neither of us have any late afternoon meetings. She just informed me about a meeting she forgot. This means I am stranded in a town of 1200 people. But I got all excited, anyway. I can slide over to our little grocery store (formerly a Piggly...

    A Sentimental Fool?

    A slight scare and something in my last post started me reflecting on a topic I wonder if any share. I have been blessed (or cursed) from a young age with a strong sense of tradition and sentimentality. Every few years I have to purge my momento pile to get rid of stuff that was to remind me of...

    What Pipes Do You Wish You Had?

    So I have a lot of pipes. I actually bought waaay too many and should have quadrupled down on cellaring. But still, there are some pipes I wish I had gotten before I became impoverished. I was compelled to write this because I have seen at least 4 of these for sale and cannot buy them. lol In...

    5000 Posts... What, What!?

    What a long, strange trip it's been. I know I am not a consistent member, but I have always tried to come back when life allows. I would like to thank the academy, er you fine folks here on the forum for always providing knowledge and insights into this thing of ours. I am also coming up on the...

    I Have the Rona... AGAIN.

    It's starting to piss me off. I have Covid for the 2nd time in 30 days. I have had 2 weeks sickness free since November 1st. I have had sinus infections, Flus, other flus, and the damn Rona. I am tired of being sick. I am eating yogurt every day because I swear I have had every anti-biotic...

    Jeremy Renner Accident

    I looked around and used the search feature on here, but didn't see where anyone has covered this. I like Jeremy Renner. A lot. Wind River is one of my favorite movies and his work as Hawkeye is terrific. So I was pretty shocked and sad when I heard he was run over by his own snow plow on the...

    Grand Adventure, Part IV: The Exodus Part 2 (The Finale)

    We set off from Pendleton, Or shaken, but not deterred. Idaho was uneventful, but we stopped early to let dad rest. We then proceded onward from I-84 to I-80. We stopped at the Echo Canyon rest area (before it closed for repairs). It was there we discovered that one of the tires on the remaining...

    Grand Adventure, Part IV: The Exodus Part 1

    Selling off all our shit was a nightmare. So stressful and time consuming. One of the things we have vowed upon arriving here is to NOT have so much stuff. One particular highlight was a guy pulling my son's never-used spey rod out of its case, not being able to get it in the case after jamming...

    Grand Adventure: Part III (Long Overdue)

    I apologize for the long delay. I left off in TN in February. While there, the 5th or 6th night, in Savannah, or Parkers Crossing, respectively, Dad and I encountered bed bugs from the motel we stayed in. It was pretty traumatic. We had to fly out with the critters. I felt pretty bad. We didn't...

    Grand Adventure: Part II (Tennessee!!!)

    So we finally got my buddy situated south of Knoxville, TN in his new home. I picked up my dad last night from the Nashville Airport. We met with a core of realtors today in Lebanon, TN and Knoxville. I am going to be in Tennessee until Friday, Feb 5th making a network of realtors around the...

    A Grand Adventure...??

    So, many of you know I am exploring the idea of moving to Tennessee. To this end, it makes sense to do a recon of the state. I have a friend who is moving to a small town outside of Knoxville. I have offered to drive one of his vehicles over for him and will have my dad fly in and we will...

    Seattle Pipe Club Pike Place

    So I was at the rollout when the Seattle Pipe Club introduced Potlatch, Deception Pass, and Pike Place. The actual Pike Place took umbrage with the unasked for use of their name and that blend only received a small run and then was goneduento copyright woes. I have 4 tins, but just had to jar...

    Almost Like Hitting the Lottery

    I am finally getting around to cataloging my cellar (thank you, BROBS), when I found i had 2 stacks of Christmas Cheer behind my Christmas Cheer stacks. I have 36 tins instead of 28. That made my day! Especially because logging all this stuff into the cellar software is painful.

    Scored Some Tobacco.

    I made a rare purchase. Got some Germains and to help support the business got a pound of PS Nougat, Optimum, and Lane RLP-4.
