Not a fan of resolutions so these are more like end of the year reflections that might be achievable in the new year.
-No more fixer uppers!
-I’m really bad about buying a skanky pipe to restore.
-No more tobacco!
-Early on, I’d smoke one bowl and “Oh this is really good,,,buy two pounds, so dumb. The TAD was all consuming for a few years!
-Add no more than three hand made pipes to my collection (following Rich Esserman’s sound advice on that one). His points were, as I interpreted:
-Save your money for what you want.
-Don’t settle for a pipe that has some characteristic that bothers you.
-Trade the pipes you don’t smoke or enjoy.
