The Best Pipe-Drop Ever.

[gervais]

I have a Peterson spigot that had an extremely loose stem fitting right from the get go. It didn't fully spin around, but was loose enough that it could be easily sway back and forth 1/8"

This area here:


Anyways I smoked it regardless.
Well yesterday I was climbing out of my work van and had my pipe on my lunch cooler, and as I was getting out the cooler snagged and the pipe fell off onto the concrete driveway. After cursing the Gods and carefully inspecting my pipe for dings, I noticed that the stem was now rock solid tight and no ding on the pipe whatsoever!

Every once in a while.......

How bout that!

How bout that!

Sometimes you just have to throw your pipe at a rock to fix what ails it, my friend.

I love me some good pipe karma!

Better lucky than good.

Dad always said, "If it's not working, give it a good kick".

Every once in while the pipe gods look down and take mercy on some benighted pipe.

Ouch! I'm very careful with spigots. Not sure why, but have a feeling they will all drop. I suggest bees wax.

So...there is a god...

A fortuitous fall indeed!

One day I wanna get that exact pipe in Pilip.

Will wonders never cease? That was a great stroke of luck. Glad the pipe is fine, or better as you describe.

Wonderful story.
It's now officially pre-disastered.
You may smoke and abuse it without worry

Next time you have an issue, hit it with a hammer. Usually fixes it. Awesome that it worked out

If you'd sent it to Peterson to have it fixed they'd probably have used the same method.

I love a good peterson and love spigots, I wonder why the connection was so loose in the first place? I personally have never seen that before. I wouldn't ever sell it if i were you, you never know
