My Wife Wanted To Post This Picture...

[agnosticpipe]

My wife likes to smoke pipes, although not as often as I do, and she's usually content to listen to me read her things from this forum that I find interesting. She has told me that she has no interest in participating on this site herself, as I already spend enough time here for both of us she says.
So earlier today, she's out with the dog walking around and taking pictures, and she took a couple of me sitting on the porch whittling a new pipe tamper, and puffing on an old Buescher's hickory pipe. She tells me she really likes the photo, and I should post it on the pipesmagazine forum. This is the first time she's wanted to post something here, so I didn't want to discourage her from posting on the forum by complaining that I had a dirty t-shirt, and ripped pants on, and jeez! am I really that bald now!
So.... happy wife = happy life, here's the photo. You can laugh now. :laughat:

Orley, wish I was sitting right next to you with a bottle of bourbon and you were showing me how to whittle a tamper.

I see nothing wrong with this picture.
btw, have two red chairs like that under our big oak in the back yard...great for lounging and puffing.

 

[tbradsim1]

Mighty nice.

 

[klause]

I see 'contentment'.
Great picture, Orley.

 

[papipeguy]

Great way to spend time outside. That even makes me feel peaceful.

 

[darthcider]

Nice photo, you look at ease.

 

[bulletsnbriars]

Thats an awesome shot; makes me feel at home and at ease. I'd like to join you and Pratt on that porch right now; get away from this damn job for a couple hours.

Think I'll go out and the back patio and do the same except my tamper will start out as a big stick and end up a small stick.

A great photo capturing a man at peace doing what he enjoys.

Where's the compulsory can of wasp spray or the jar lid ashtray with the wine cork knocker? I thought those were front porch standard equipment.

 

[terrygoldman123]

Delighted to know you found each other. Post more often.

 

[puffy]

You look like you're relaxed and at peace.I like it.

 

[numbersix]

Classic - thanks for sharing!

 

[kanaia]

Living the life Orley...Good job.

johnnyreb: there's a table on my right that has all the standard equipment on it, that my wife has thoughtfully cropped out. Yep, cans of Raid, Off, old actual pipe ashtray with dirty cork knocker with a knife, and tampers, also a flyswatter, lousy binoculars, and a BB gun. Have I missed anything?
Patrick: Yeah, whiskey after whittling for sure!
But I've got to admit, I was totally enjoying myself, grubby clothes and all. ::

Very very nice... Peaceful.

 

[lucky695]

ahhhh what a day to do it too... at least where I live.

 

[Strike Anywhere]

Not much for me to laugh at -- almost like looking in a mirror!

Looks like what I consider to be the "Uniform of the Day" !
