Rattrays Exotic Passion in my very cheap new Brigham pipe.
Instead of cleaning up one of the dozens of old, dirty ebay pipes I have, ive been buying new pipes the last month.
This Brigham came today. It is one of their "System" pipes with the Rock Maple insert filters. I smoked it earlier today. I then immediately took it apart, grabbed a hacksaw, and made it NOT a System pipe with a Rock Maple insert.
It now smokes perfectly.
As I sit here I am being violently attacked by my cat! Sorry for any typos.

Well Larry, those are all great questions. Let's see, the load in the picture is about 3 1/2 tons with 90 tightly packed, large bales. I have already put up a load of orchard grass hay that is not quite as dense but is a good mixer for the horses. These two loads should get me through the winter with a bit to spare. The horses don't eat the hay during the summer months as they have plenty of forage in the pastures plus they get grained once a day. Only exception to this is when we have bad weather and I have to put them up overnight. Then I put a bit of hay in the stalls.
Their individual weight runs from the lightest at about 1,050 lbs to heaviest at about 1,200. They are fascinating creatures and beautiful to watch but require a lot of attention and work when you consider the cost of feeding, shoeing, vet costs, etc. If a person doesn't enjoy all of the work and effort to care for them, it would be a miserable time, indeed. But the bond that can be developed between owner and horse can be pretty special.....
Thanks for asking.

Thank you for answering Mark. I can't imagine the cost and work involved. My hat is off to you! I've always been indifferent with horses, only rode one once. Then I read Seabiscuit, my whole outlook on horses changed, Incredible creatures to say the least.
