None of us is getting any younger. I was outside doing some small stuff yesterday for the first time since my brush with pneumonia while in Florida. Finally really starting to feel right again. Been out of the hospital a month yesterday. The whole house generator needed some attention. I...

Pipes Magazine reported that she was retiring in late 2016. If you are looking for repairs, search that thread and there is a number to call. But she may be totally retired by now.

I don't write enough with mine. Retirement can do that. I used to sign documents and fill out forms all day.

Welcome to BoB! You might have noticed a delay in your post appearing. New members cannot post links or photos right away. I honestly do not recall what the forum software has set for the delay. So if you post more photos or links it will go to an approval queue where an admin or moderator...

The coonskin cap was a substitute for a beaverskin cap, when a beaverskin cap could not be located when a print was being made using a stand-in. Later when the TV show was made they continued using the wrong hat. Daniel Boone was just one of many legends opening up the Kentucky lands and...

Good to see ya!

And, by rights Ron should not have been asking to find one in this thread. I guess we overlooked that. He should have posted a Wanted in the Trading Post. Blackhorse is absolutely correct. Scammers look for wanted ads. On the other hand, we are a friendly bunch and would welcome...

They destroyed our back porch roof supports going after carpenter bee larva. Just as well as we didn't know the bees were a problem. If you have a woodpecker problem, you actually have a bug problem.

There's a lot out there vying for people's attention.

Bracken Flake.

Years ago BoB Forum did a very similar pipe as a forum pipe. Mark's email popped in the inbox this morning, so I thought I would pass this on. I still haven't wore out those I bought in the past. Mark makes good smoking pipes at a reasonable cost. You can get fancier if you want. The link...

Y'all have fun! Looks like a big weekend in Vegas!

Hang on, he's trying. Some permissions problem apparently. I'm looking into it.

No, not really. Even my .58 is just a good solid push. That's the nature of black powder.

The curl in these maple stocks is really something. And, like everything, doing it more often means I get a chance to do better each time.

Some pics. The completed rifle is a .54cal Woodsrunner kit from Kibler Longrifles. I want to polish the lock over winter. Or if I get time. Last two pics are the current project. A Southern Mountain Rifle in .40cal. Another Kibler Longrifles kit. This will be the fourth one. Really...

My basic goto bourbon is Bulleit. I like Bulleit Rye a lot. But then, any whiskey has to be pretty nasty for me not to like it. Irish, I can drink Bushmill's White, but I really like John Power's Gold Label. Scotch is a bit outside my comfort realm. I got a couple bottles of Jura Single...

Tavern Tobacco - Thunder Road in a smallish Peter Heeschen P pipe.

A few very old blends that were alright. Different. Probably from the late 1930's through the 1960's. The most memorable was a very good cutter top tin of Dunhill Standard Mixture Mild. From the early 1960's. I was led to believe that Standard Mixture used to be available in Mild, Medium...

There was a bunch of contesters that gathered there. K9PG made the trip down. He always does a series of pics on Facebook of his travels. Paul stopped by Jerry (WB9Z) & Val's (NV9L) place. One of the midwest super-stations. Just up the hwy from me a bit. I look forward to more of the pics...
