I like it! I'm going to try this next time I encounter one of these people.

 :lol!: Yep! That's her!

My wife has an aunt just like this. It's almost as if she NEEDS conflict. She certainly doesn't miss an opportunity to try to make everyone around her feel bad. Most of the family avoids her like the plague and I can't imagine her keeping friends long with the negative attitude she flings...

Congrats to the winners! Very generous of you Growley! I wish you the best in your new career direction :cheers: 

Happy Birthday! Make it a great day!

There are Joshua trees WAY off in the distance there :)   Not a great spot in the summer, for sure, but the weather is perfect this time of year! I did my best to break the Omega in.   I have heard that you're supposed to let a pipe rest between smokes, but I figured as long as I kept reloading...

I had a camping trip planned to Joshua Tree NP this weekend. While I was picking up some ice and beer for the trip I saw a decent looking Dr. Grabow Omega behind the counter. I decided I needed a new camping pipe  :lol: so I added my first Grabow to my collection. I was pleasantly surprised...

I have a couple of each and I find that sometimes my bents get a little "gurgly" from gravity pulling saliva down into the stem. This doesn't always happen, but it does if I'm doing something with both hands for an extended period while clenching my pipe. This doesn't seem to happen as much...

Looks great!  I like the shape  :D  Funny how different shapes appeal to different folks.

Really beautiful work! I really like how you use subtle but interesting design elements to create something that feels familiar but also organic and unique at the same time. Bravo!

I completely agree with everyone that expanding the products you produce is a good strategy. However, there is always a limit to how much money you can make if you personally have to create each and every product that goes out the door. For instance, Etsy, Ebay and Amazon don't make a single...

Thanks everyone! I should have some ready to sell soon  :cheers: 

I think I will have to check that out.  I'm in the mood for some light reading :D :cheers:

I would LOVE to have that pipe so I'm really going to go for it  :) Aside from making beautifully crafted pipes I don't know much about your skill set. I can share some of my experiences with you and hopefully that will help a little.   One option is to open a business.  I have owned a few...

Thanks! I'm glad you dig them! The one pictured above is my personal favorite so I don't plan on selling it. It's getting lots of use :D  They are fun to make and I am getting much better at creating quality craftsmanship. I am new here and I haven't quite reached the 30/30 threshold so I...

This has become almost ubiquitous in my neck of the woods. Most of the charities seem to be worthwhile, legitimate organizations and sometimes I donate, but usually I just say "not today, thanks". I did find it a bit annoying at first, but the more often it happens the less I really have a...

I greatly prefer DST. I would much rather have the sun still up when I get off of work. In fact I wish it would just stay like this. Getting home from work at 6:00 when it's already dark out is miserable.

I have been trying to learn the proper balance between tamping and relighting.  I don't have an issue with relighting but I also want to learn how to use the tamper effectively.  I  really appreciate the suggestion.  I will try this tonight!

Done!
