    Pipe Stem Manufacturing

    Steve has a great website loaded with stuff. He comes to the Chicago show. Super nice guy. As far as the resin rods. There are various materials. Some of which is used in fountain pens and other craft ideas. Sometimes it's made into sheets.

    Got stoned this past weekend!

    Good to know, in case I see something. Not sure I will ever be off the Flowmax.

    Expensive Men’s Cologne (Parfum, etc.)

    I like Joop. I buy from a discount place. The large tester size bottles. A little Joop goes a long way. I do try others. Sometimes something with leather and tobacco will catch my fancy.

    Pipe crate

    Well if you fool around on the website, you get a little more info. There is some kind of booklet that comes in the crate. Might be interesting. Major credit cards and payment methods. At least there is that. Perhaps as time goes on, more information will appear.

    Pipe crate

    A new member cannot post links for a time. That helps to control spammers. I honestly do not know what kind of time period or number posts must happen before links can be posted. I could have approved the post. However, a new member, posting a link to a subscription service I never heard of...

    jar openers

    I am Cathy's jar opener. However. Upon rare occasion I have had to resort to a tool. And we have all the usual stuff. Hot water. Butter knife tapping the lid. Those multiple size jar tools you squeeze like a wrench. Those silicone rubber thingies. The best for the absolute welded on...

    Got stoned this past weekend!

    So, you still have to pass them. With the help of a rather large plastic tube (stent) between my left kidney and bladder, I passed two. The 7mm shifted and in three months he was able to go back in and scoop it out with a basket, or net. The Flowmax helps. Still on that. I take a couple...

    Got stoned this past weekend!

    Pretty sure I related my lost summer last year due to kidney stones. They stuck a stent in me and I basically suffered for three months until they could get me back in. And I had the choice of going in to the ER after noon on Saturday, and decided to tough it out and go in early Sunday...

    For you jar collectors.

    I am not posting links. But I did come across something I had never seen before. R.W. Martin & Bros. "Wally Bird" tobacco jars. If you search carefully, there is a number of these items at auction right now. I suspect other rare tobacco related stuff may also be at auction. Surprising...

    Chicago Pipe Show - 2023 info

    The Swap & Smoke on Friday morning is a great event, if you can make it. Pipes, take whatever you are comfortable with. Just in case something happens, it's best if they are not your best pipes. I never let that stop me. I cannot make the show this year. I am prepping for a gunstock carving...

    Your method of fishing?

    When I was a kid, we fished the creeks. Chicken liver for catfish, grasshoppers in the late summer/fall for smallmouth bass. Sometime in the early 1980's I started tournament bass fishing with IL Bass. It was a great experience. Even went to central FL. Liked running around on the Ohio...

    Barbecue sauce - your favorite?

    For daily use, Sweet Baby Ray's. I used to use Maull's. Grabbed a bottle of Stub's the other day. Sweet Heat I think. But it was mostly a disappointment. BBQ places have a way of doing that to me. While in Florida recently we had brisket and pulled pork from Back Beach BBQ in Panama...
