Very sorry....TBH, I had not read the "Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar" section of the rules, having the hubris to believe that that section didn't apply to me. After all, my use of the English language is perfect!
I meant to include this in my Saturday post as it cleared up the confusion for me; thank you as well, BROBS. The incorrect information I had read, even though it was all posted well after the 80's, was out of date.
I joke that they change your status from new member to what ever is next on this forum when you make two or three posts that the original Bob the O.B. doesn't have to add that note too. Or in other words, no one ever notices that rule until they've been here a while.Very sorry....TBH, I had not read the "Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar" section of the rules, having the hubris to believe that that section didn't apply to me.

I have read that some people use pipe mud in their corn cob pipes as a preventative measure against bowl burn out and I may find that I should have done so, too, but for now I will trust in the hardwood plugs and my ability to treat the pipes with some respect, lol. Guess I will find out!
