    Words To Live By

    Truck Stop Pipe

    This past Thursday marked one month that I have not smoked cigarettes. I had promised myself a new pipe when that day came but wasn't around any B&Ms at the time. On Saturday I stopped at Truck World in Hubbard, Ohio and looked around in their little tobacco shop (yep, a truck stop with it's own...

    St Patrick's Day Lighter

    I spotted this in a display in a truck stop and thought it would be a great St Paddy's lighter. I already have a pipe insert so I'll switch it from it's plain Jane case to this one on the holiday.

    Sometimes Things Don't Go As Planned

    Yesterday I tried to deliver a firetruck at the port in Baltimore. The VIN on the truck didn't match the paperwork so they refused it. After a few phone calls I was emailed some new paperwork. It was also wrong. This morning I was emailed new paperwork again. It had the VIN that matched. Cool. I...

    Asus Transformer Tablet

    I've had an iPad tablet for some time now and, while I really like it I have often found it limiting in some ways. I decided to give an Android tablet a try so yesterday I picked up an Asus TF101 Transformer tablet. First off, it's quite a bit less expensive than the iPad. $399 for a 32GB...

    To shave or not to shave, that is the question

    I am seriously considering shaving off the old chin cactus. I'll smoke another bowl or three and give it some more thought. Definitely a three pipe problem.

    Anyone Using Google + or Latitude?

    Just wondering who may be using Google + and Google Latitude. If anyone is and would like to add me to their circle or just see my location in Latitude my handle on Google + is GPS Driver. I tried to use GPS Trucker but the letters after the "Tr" in trucker seemed to be red flagged If that name...

    Fellow Pipe Smoker Aboard Ship

    I am sitting at the Port of Houston waiting to have a truck jump-started so I can load it. As I know it will be a long wait I walked over to the edge of the pier to have a closer look at the ships tied up there. I had a Stanwell clenched in my teeth as I was looking up at the superstructure of...

    Three Of Us In One Place

    I spent last night parked at a truck stop in Mt Vernon, Missouri. After eating dinner I stuck a couple of pipes and a pouch of tobacco in my little backpack and walked the half block to the local tavern to relax a bit before bed. As it was very windy, with a bit of rain blowing in it, I opted...

    Happily Engaged In Criminal Activity

    Ok, I admit it. I am engaged in criminal activity, according to the state of Wisconsin, and don't feel bad about it in the least. Despite the laws prohibiting smoking in hotel rooms I am enjoying a wonderful bowl of Old Dublin in an old Dublin. I have the window open and the ventilation system...

    Unique Pipe Sighting

    I was sitting in a motel bar in Arkansas reading a book on my iPad, drinking a beer, and enjoying a bowl of Irish Aromatic when I saw a fellow a few stools down lighting a pipe. I approached and asked about his pipe. It was a home made pipe he had made from Corian and looked really cool. the...

    Taking A Break In Arkansas

    Yesterday was a long, rough day. I had to pick up a wheel loader from an auction yard in Humble, TX and then a Peterbilt chassis in Houston. Auction yards are never much fun. They aren't willing to help, you have to walk all over the place to find the machine you need to load, hope it actually...

    What A Day

    Tonight finds me in Algona, Iowa. On Monday I put my truck in the shop to be serviced and to have an oil leak repaired. An oil leak on a commercial vehicle is a serious thing. If a D.O.T. cop in a chicken coup (weigh station) spots it he will put you out of service, write a ticket, and you have...

    My New Hard Hat

    Most hard hats are actually helmets. While at an equipment dealer in Lexington, KY I saw one that was actually a hard hat. I bought it for the amusement value. The logo on the front is Smith and Wesson.

    New Stanwell

    Ok, I said I wouldn't be buying any new pipes until I had totally quit cigarettes, but I just couldn't pass up this Stanwell I ran across at Book World in Fond Du Lac, WI this morning.

    One Of My Favorite Places Closed

    I often like to stay at the Days Inn in Fond Du Lac, WI because of the Coaches Corner located right next door. Coaches Corner is a Sports Bar type of place with really good food and great deals for those who chose to purchase a membership in the "Touchdown Club". Members enjoy two-for-one drinks...

    Seymour, Indiana

    After a great deal of driving and trying to work my way through some terrible traffic, a couple of accident delays, and road construction, and delivering two stops, I finally pulled into a truckstop in Seymour, Indiana. There just happens to be a bar and grill called Brewskies about a block down...

    Get Smart

    I loved the television series Get Smart back in the day. I just finished watching the modern film based upon it and have to admit that, as stupid as it was, I laughed all the way through. Sometimes a bit of stupidity is exactly what you need.

    50 Years On Planet Earth

    I am spending today, my birthday, in a motel room in Conroe, Texas. No special plans for the 50th anniversary of my arrival on this little speck of dust in a huge universe. Well, I'll go and get a haircut at some point, but no real plans otherwise. Just a nice, quiet day of relaxing. I had...

    Is That Black Cherry?

    I went down to the motel lobby to get myself a cup of coffee to go with my Irish Aromatic. I had my pipe hanging from my mouth, a Christiano bent, but made a point of not puffing on it while in the lobby. I guess you could still smell it though, because a fellow standing next to me preparing a...
