Good day all! Started with Royal Yacht in a Savinelli Burl Fan and followed with my latest mix, namely 1792 Flake and C&D Chenet's Cake in a dedicated Wilke Billiard, a blended civil union if ever there was with each tobacco smoothing the rough edges of the other.

I test drove both, and the Frontier won on power and smoothness of the ride. I did love the looks of the Gladiator though. But, I rarely go offroad, and accessories just aren’t me. My wife says I just don’t look like a Jeep guy, whatever that means. But… breaking in the truck with some Edisto in a Hilson billiard.

Really nice looking truck, Cosmic. Glad you tried them both and got the one that felt best to you.
I've never owned a jeep before this Gladiator but have always wanted one and when they came out with the Gladdy, I thought oh great, it's a jeep and a truck.

As to looking like a Jeep owner, I've been told I am not either. At nearly 6'7" I had to install an extended seat rail that allows me to move it back as far as I need. So.... I'm comfy.....

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Currently, I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. This pipe was gifted to me by Mark Ryan. Watching the Orioles-Cardinals game. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager.

Almost done mowing the lawn and the tractor lost 1/2 it's power, like it was stumbling on bad gas, then just couldn't throttle up or down.. wouldn't mow no more, but did limp back to the garage. Got this used for a cool $350 around 2010. Absolute BOSS! Started running a touch rough a few days ago. Cleaned air filter, topped up the oil, etc. All good... but today it gave up. Maybe just one cylinder firing? One project after another these days...
