Hey thanks folks for all the comments. To try and answer some of the questions and comments.
skrapsoftobacco, I have tried the 'safety' approach on her numerous times and her only comment is, "That's why the life insurance policy premium on you is so high", and winks wickedly as she says it.
Jackswiling, the garage is insulated with R20 rated walls.
Are you certain you didn't have a few fingers of single malt before you had the bright idea about wrapping yourself up like Fort Knox?
Hmm, thinking, thinking. Sorry man, my mind is a blank on the single malt. Wait, did I say single malt? :wink:

Chasingembers, I hear ya man! I have been married to 'She who must be obeyed' for 44 years now and I'm totally cool with her request that I not smoke in the house. Besides, the small people (AKA grand children) who occasionally show up at Grandma and Papa's house would freak out. I'm sooooooooooooooooo tired of them asking me, "Papa, why are you smoking?" BECAUSE IT GIVES ME A PRECIOUS HOUR ALONE WITHOUT ALL THE RACKET AND NOISE, THAT'S WHY I SMOKE!!!!" kind of answer.
Hey Jim, glad I was able to make you and hopefully the others chuckle. Didn't hurt myself other than my dignity. HA HA HA!
Hey Mike, I'm thinking I will wear my hockey helmet and gear. Should be good to go then. Just as long as no one tells the Feds what happened I should be good. God knows what will happen if the federal government finds out. They will pass mandatory helmet and body armor laws for anyone who wants to smoke. They are already thinking of passing helmet laws for showering.
Humor = laughter = a healthy heart = why I posted this. Actually, I took the fall because I worry about the health of all my fellow forum members and thought if I did this it would contribute to their collective general well being and wellness. (Picture me snorking here several times.)
Lee, I would have been more concerned with you HEARING the umm, appropriate metaphors that issued forth.
Anyway guys that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Wait a minute! Did someone make a comment about single malt?
