I'm going. Got to see jkrug for the great work he did for me, personallly congratulate him. Now to figure out what I need from Paul's...?
We had a great trip, marred by the first snow storm of the season. The snow was (and still is) pretty light by my house, but got heavier as we progressed north. Jim and his big crew-cab FWD Dodge got us through, with Jim handling it all with aplomb, although there were some scary moments caused by folks who forgot how to drive in snow since last winter. My new tin of MM Baby's Bottom helped the trip up.
We met Gambit's buddy John there, who had Stonehaven to share. Everybody got some Arrowhead, and I purchased a big Cayuga Dublin, with the money I didn't get to spend when I had to miss the Arrowhead Pipe Club show last month. I started breaking it in last night with some Lane RR. :

Yes, a fun trip indeed despite the heavy snow conditions and a near death experience when a j@ck@$$ in a Suburban spun out in front of us and plowed into the cement barrier at the side of the freeway. I was gifted a nice Bulldog by John and enjoyed a few flakes of his Stonegate as well. Thanks John. Jud hat Baby's Bottom was also a very nice smoke, very smooth...like a baby's bottom!! Thanks for sharing. Fred it was great to see you again. Next time I drive I will bring along a step of some sort to make entering/exiting my big ole Ram a little easier...it's a pretty big step up. Looking forward to the next get together guys. Cheers, Jim ::

Better safe than sorry. I heard that Howell got hit pretty hard. No sense taking a chance if you don't need to. I lost count of all the vehicles we saw in the ditch, in the median, crashed together or into the guardrail...they were everywhere! We toured the museum upstairs but didn't see the basement. Sounds like we need to take a peek the next time we go. Hope you can make it to the next get together. ::

My turn. As is usual, we had a great time, despite the near-death experience with an out of control SUV, with jkrug maneuvering us out of danger like an old hand. We'll have to rethink these winter trips, Jud. And why didn't you tell anyone that I managed not to buy any pipes? But I did pick up a couple of bags of Creme Brelan (sp) and some of Paul's famous Arrowhead--enough to justify the hairraising ride, and this trip, in particular, I just had to go to to be able to personally thank jkrug for the super pipe racks he made for me. Presently, I'll post a picture of those racks in their new display (I'll explain all that in another week or so). One downer: my tobacco pouch slipped out of my carry-all book bag and into J's backseat! But that aside, a great trip. Wonder what we'll do next month, or should we take a breather for December, consisdering what a rat race that month usually is. Maybe a trip to H&H?
Let me also make this an opportunity to ask, plead, beg, for other gents and ladies to think about coming to one of our meetings. We really need to inflate our membership a bit. Til next time!

Au contraire. We went to Paul's in January and had fine weather. November should have been perfectly fine - I don't remember ever having a storm that bad before Thanksgiving.

Since I didn't mention anybody else's pipe,that means no one else bought one, right? :
