    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    While I love my system pipes, pretty much this! ETA: I've pulled the stingers in each and drilled for 9mm filter, I've never actually sucked up from the well, it certainly won't happen now.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    Thanks for the recommend, duly noted! When/if the time comes, I may look you up here and pester with some questions.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    I'm hunting over my boots. Maybe down the line I'll get sensible and do that part in style, as you surely are with that fine looking pup! Happy hunting and good luck out there-- to you both.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    2A 88, The Land Rover icon! Nice! Once into the Midwest, where travel becomes less a matter of combat, with an easy ability to create follow room (That space does NOT exist on E coast highways), the going is pleasant if loud. My concern is the braking distance! That's why your handle sounded...

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    That's an '83 Land Rover 110 RHD 200Tdi. Prior to my stewardship, going on 12 years now, a previous owner had it rebuilt on a galvanized chassis. I had the V8 swapped for a used 200Tdi and ran that for 5 years then rebuilt from a Turner shortblock, gasflowed head, turbo, injection pump, yada...

    1961 Sauer & Sohn, nothing too fancy but I like it.

    Much obliged SK! And I trust you could manage just fine!

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    I've been spooked by grouse so many times over the years, by design I'm sure.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    Thank you Sir! Grouse hunting out West is a whole different animal than doing so in a Balsam thicket of the North Woods! Spent a good bit of time in UT, N & S but never hunted it, I would like to give that a go soon. Good luck out there.

    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    No grouse were harmed in the making of this picture, post or prior, nice walk though! Stopped for a pipe and coffee up on a ridgeline. The Stanwell 95 loaded with C&D Palmetto Balkan, one of many gifted by our incredibly generous @Servant King, thanks again brother! Awfully quiet in the North...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    An etymologist I am not but found this interesting.

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    No, wait, more bed of nails...we haven't arrived at the argo, art gothic, agotique, argot, and archtectonic, the facade, the thing that stands for something else only hinted at-- the phonetic cabala of words!! Ligion sounds like Legion-- many, a group, we've previously covered re, to do again...

    Tobacco Knife (My Grandpa’s Old Case XX)

    You know, for what I gather was not a top of the line offering, the Waldens of that era were top notch, beautiful fit and finish, brass liner and bolsters, tight grain walnut? scales, great hinge that is still smooth but firm and made in the US.

    Tobacco Knife (My Grandpa’s Old Case XX)

    My good sir, if you're pipe smoking is a PITA, your approach is all wrong!:):)

    Tobacco Knife (My Grandpa’s Old Case XX)

    That did clean up nicely! I use either one of these, a Schrade Walden that belonged to my great uncle, with a 1957 "safety award" etched flat grind pull blade, or the Buck 301 clip that came with a vehicle I purchased.

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Before you judge Kingsley or Catafalque, it needs to be read. There is so much of that going on today, a headline, a snippet passes for due diligence, far too many free-flowing opinions, on too many subjects, with little real knowledge of the material. It's almost always done in the...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I'll add it to the pile and yes, there is a lot that seems familiar. Next week--USAID's launch of global ready Diia via WEF playground zero, UKR-- the digital jackboots crest the horizon...
