The only thing that keeps us in Illinois is our grandsons.

Yeah there really isn't much reason to live in Illinois but we all have to live somewhere. Glad to have you.
Well right now its my job keeping me here, My wife has talked about moving but we are kinda stuck for now with having kids at home. If it was just her and I we would be gone but when you have kids to worry about it tends to keep you where things are secure
Welcome back! Sounds like you're spending a lot of money on many pipes and tobaccos. Good for you! Spending glorifies the pastime and brings you many choices. Enjoy!
I take it you're either a proud atheist or Illinois is a lot like PA. Welcome from PA.
Welcome to the forum!
Illini born and raised.... But then NYC and CA after.
Where abouts in the Land of Lincoln?
You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc., etc..
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. Just country if you must.

In Central Illinois in the country round peoria and bloomington. Down near a river so the land actually rolls a little with some ponds and trees. If we just shot all the politicians it wouldn't be such a bad state, sadly I believe there is a law against that. But I see you followed Wild Bill and Wyatt Earp and got the heck out of Dodge so to speak. Per anotherbob, not an atheist nor an agnostic - cause I'm pretty sure I can hear God laughing everytime I tell him my plans.
Perhaps it’s like speeding, a law more honour’d in the breach than the observance?
Peoria! Some nice land around there, compared to the dead flatness to the North.
My Dad came back from WWII singing "I wish I were in Peoria, Peoria, Peoria!
Peoria, tonight". - to the tune of "We are marching to Pretoria". Ever heard that song? It might have been limited to him and his shipmates.

Very similar path to pipes .... Welcome to the forum from the latest Ghost Town of the north ... Niagara - Ontario
I appreciate all the kind welcomes and introductions. But then again you all have an excuse since you don't know me. So went and done it and got my birthday and Christmas gifts for myself out of the way (ya have to do that when you've been divorced 3 times and your kids are grown). An Xikar scribe lighter (I was in love with the old Colibri pipe lighters and distraught when they quit making them), an IM Corona old boy chrome hairlines lighter, a Georg Jensen 22 Bent Egg estate pipe from Blue Room Briars, a new Savinelli Miele Honey Pipe 626 Tobacco Pipe, and some more bulk tobacco brands which should put me around twenty or so odd ones to try. Now I'm all set to screw up packing my pipes several dozen dozen times and getting tongue bite a few more times. So I'm set for this year, though luckily there is only about 6 more weeks left in the year.
JPMCWJR: never heard the peoria song or the pretoria song - though my dad was an Korean War veteran and later after combat worked stateside the rest of his hitch as a master sargent drill instructor at Fort Riley. So when we would go on family trips or drives especially at night he would regale his 4 male scions by singing cadences - such as "I knew a gal way out west she had mountains on her chest sound-off; 1 - 2; sound-off; 3 - 4; sound off 1 - 2 - 3 - 4; 1 - 2 — 3 - 4. I knew a gal way down south......... with her mouth.........." He would somewhat clean up most of them.....somewhat.
The nice thing about ham radio is that if she leaves you and you miss her you can always CQ.
