No more pipes or tobacco save a couple of falcon bowls since retiring. A fixed income has completely reshuffled my life.

I can never remember what the "rule" is and we had clouds, sun, clouds --- all depends on whether some groundhog around here even popped his or her head out and what time.

 

[AcesAndEights]

Pretty sure this holiday is just an excuse for the Punxsutawney locals to day drink.

I never knew you were a Falcon smoker.

Quite different from your normal pipes that I've seen. I have a few in my collection, alas never to be smoked again.....at least not by me

Wish I'd have found them sooner. I've boxed up all of my other pipes for storage and now only smoke these two.

Why are you guys taking advice from a varmint!? Only questions you should ask it are would it like 40/45/50 grains delivered at 3800/4000/4200 fps.

I was in Punxsutawney for work back in 2011 it’s all about day drinking, speaking groundhogese and partying in general.
Great little town though.

"it’s all about day drinking, speaking groundhogese and partying in general."

I'd say this sums up most annual celebrations that towns in the US are known for....
Except for speaking "groundhogese."

Febb the Toond is a special day for me regardless of snow and woodchucks.

It's my truck's birthday.

A 1996 Ford F-250HD w/7.3 L International diesel that was bought new on Feb 2 of 1996 (named Fred the Ford, courtesy of my then 12-year-old son), and continues to run like new 29 years later.

Go Fred!

How many miles you got on that 7.3?

How many miles you got on that 7.3?

Nice. You keep at it for another 29yrs and Fred will be broken in!

Love the bent stack. Do I see a rubber (?) grommet twixt the bowl & the base?

Now you're talking my kinda truck......
I have a '97 F-350 crewcab dually with a 7.3.
It also only has 160k and I consider it barely broken in.
Almost every time I take it out on the road, somebody asks me if I want to sell it.
Since they did not make a '98 model, the '97 is last year of the old body style before they changed it in '99.

It was, and will be, again, and again... till we kill that groundhog!

Yup on people wanting to buy it all the damn time. lol

I forgot to mention mine's a 4x4 as well as having the extended/stretch cab

'97 was arguably even better than '96 because they put an intercooler on the turbo. Good job, you!
