Castello.

People rave about the construction but with so much hype prices have always been well beyond reasonable, and from my perspective you can practically accomplish the same thing with a Savinelli and a drill bit at one tenth the cost.

I would much rather buy another Ashton, even though I know the drilling will be far superior on a Castello, I can fix that with my needle file set (the button on almost every pipe I own has been customized), but I can't oil cure a pipe and I can't improve a good sandblast.

Why go to the trouble and not just skip staight to the pipe?
It's a bit of work, I know, and messy too, but I just figured it was something that needed to be done to keep her happy. She can be a bit annoying when she's not.
Anyway, after a while I started to like it myself, and now that she's properly broken in it's almost no trouble at all, and she even cleans herself up after ?
 
Other than for procreational purposes, lost interest somewhere in my teens. Too much work I'm not getting paid for.
I... I... I... don't comprehend this. How does this happen? What should I do to ever avoid losing interest in sex? I have a hot wife, and after her hysterectomy we went through a terrifying situation where she didn't wanna... and I was like hell... I don't wanna go back to just screwing every woman that crossed my path. That led to too many husbands beating down my door to drag their wives back home. But, that passed. Maybe in my 70's I will slow down. She will be too old and fragile, but hopefully still sexy. So sexy that I won't want to break her, ha ha. But at the moment these empty nesters are a rockin' it.

It fuels my every decision. To keep fit and trim. What we eat. How much I exercise. How much work I do to make money. Nice clothes. Without the drive... I'd just be a tub of lard rolling around in the muck doing nothing all day, and probably dead soon. Give me the flutter of an unbridled heart, flaming with lust, and a passion for staying alive, being alive, and sucking marrow out of life.

How does this happen?
How does it not? Seeing a thing constantly in the media, hearing about it constantly in music, in others' conversations, etc, instant desensitization, plus like I said, no money. Alcohol, tobacco, and money are the only ways to motivate me into doing anything.
 
Seeing a thing constantly in the media, hearing about it constantly in music, in others' conversations, etc, instant desensitization,
Me no comprehende... Hell, a nice set of boobage in a tight dress, well shaped hips in a pair of Daisy Dukes, or just a flash of a radiant smile... and, I'm all... sure, I'll paint your house. Or, let me mow your yard for you. puffy

I think the word hipster lost any meaning it might have had back in 1969. Today, roughly defined, it is any young person, no matter how extremely unhip or not attached to any peer group, who annoys people over thirty, no matter why. This might be because of haircut, grooming, clothing, manner of walking, manner of speech, eyeglasses or no eyeglasses, smoking or non-smoking, employment, vehicle or lack thereof, their hat, their footwear, their allergies, their neighborhood, their pet or lack of pet, their food preferences, sports interests or lack thereof .... Oh, you know, take it from there. Damn, that kid annoys me, that hipster.

hip·ster | \ ˈhip-stər \
Definition of hipster(Modern)

:A generational phenomenon defined by weird infatuations with anti-culture, antiquity, and individualism for it's own sake.
:Believing so strongly that you are an expert on a subject you actually have no experience with, that you feel the need to evangelize your point, unsolicited, to any person who will listen.. while simultaneously being entirely intolerant of any critical thinking that puts your world view in peril.

hope your wife feels the same way. That's the trick, it's not how often that says how good it's how close both of you can get to this is fine like this.
Oh and me I think the one problem with all that is procreation. I find that design lacking in several ways. For example it be better if procreation took planning and extra steps not the other way around. Also I consider children to be the crueliest of STDs. Seriously they seem to age people so much.
