I was working in the yard and completely forgot about it. We had about 88% totality here but by the time I remembered and made my little pinhole camera she was pretty much over,

Probably "Out of Africa". My wife and I both loved the movie, bought the soundtrack, and played it relentlessly. My kids still remember going to sleep with "Siyawe" playing in the background. These days I tend to pick out individual songs like "Trying to Leave Something Behind" by Sean Rowe...

Yeah, they were thongs back in the day, but flip-flops now I guess. My aunt-in-law (not a young woman) popped into a Walmart on the way to the beach one day and asked the young employee where their thongs were. She gave her kind of an odd look and pointed her towards the lady's underwear...

Way cool lighter!!

Thanks Mike! No, I haven't done another. I did do a hatchet which I think I posted on here before; the head was in a box of stuff my sister-in-law gave me when my brother-in-law passed and I had it for quite a while before I came up with an idea of what to do. Found this chunk of wood on a...

Pay attention to the seller's feedback.

This question was asked on a shotgun forum I frequent. I'd always supposed they were "seconds" but certainly don't know. Any input? "I have a Parker and I just got a Hardcastle, both pipes were made after Dunhill took over the 2 companies. The parker is kind of plain, but a good smoker. The...

Hmm...I use softies on all my Peterson p-lips; seem to work fine for me.

Heading out to the trap range with some EGR in a Pete Rathbone. Gonna be a chilly one out there!

Nothing remarkable; very little aroma if any in fact. I believe the pipe was smoked very little if at all. Not a single tooth scar on the mouthpiece nor mark in the wood anywhere. If it was a "rejuvenate" job it's the best one I've ever seen.

Hmm; I don't find it small; I prefer larger pipes and this one is right up there with the others in the SH series which is one reason I like them. And if it had a fishtail it would still be for sale. I've only ever bought two Petes with fishtails - one new and one estate. The new one went...

I really wasn't in the market for a new pipe but came across this Sherlock Holmes "Original" and couldn't resist. It's as nicely grained as any Peterson I've seen in a while; beautiful birdseye! I saw the pics and I was a gonner. It's an estate pipe I ordered from Serbia which made me nervous...

I guess your mouth thinks you're eating something :ROFLMAO: ! Happens to me sometimes too. Could get a spittoon I suppose. I do most all my pipesmoking outside so like you say, I just spit now and then.

From a fairly early age I knew I would smoke a pipe and drink Scotch whisky; both just seemed to be the epitome of class and cool. Started both while in college, back when the profs could smoke in the classroom and you had to sneak the whisky into the dorm. I've had the occasional lapse in...

Back in the day Jobey was a fairly well-respected brand, at least in the circles I ran in. At one time I had several in the collection but have sold them off; still have two: a natural finish Safari, and a sandblast Safari given to me by a friend when he gave up the pipe. Good smokers both -...

I just can't get into mid-century modern design in anything. My favorite chair is a red leather wing chair that used to be in the living room until it got too shabby for public areas ;). So now it's in the "study"; the cushion wore out a long time ago and I covered it with scrap cloth...

Last night was the first night of trap league. I shot my 1929 Ithaca 5E and was OK with my score considering I hadn't touched a shotgun since the first week of November. My squad shot at 8:15pm and there's something pretty cool about seeing the targets explode under the lights. I enjoyed a...

"There's a Porcupine in My Outhouse" by Michael J. Tougias

McClelland's ceased operations some years ago. A pity; British Woods was my favorite.

My son loved the ukelele and was friends with Ukelele Ike. They traded a lot of emails, early transcriptions and sheet music, early recordings, wax cylinders and so on. Me, I don't know much about this stuff but maybe you do.
