    Some Food for Thought (Please Don't Thank Me for My Service)

    When I came home I had to check in with the veterans service officer. When I started to leave his office he gave me a slip of paper, told me to go to the courthouse and check in there too. He told me it wasn't mandatory but I was in for a "nice little surprise" if I did. I almost didn't go...

    What 'baccy did you start with?

    Carter Hall was my first pipe tobacco when I was 16 years old. I found a prince shape pipe and a pouch lying under a tree on a small hilltop. Took it home cleaned it up with some alcohol and went at it. I'm 63 now and Carter Hall is still good.

    Does anyone else LIKE the P-lip?

    I'm a fan of the p-lip, especially when smoking some of the mixtures or flakes that bite me.

    First system pipe and some notes on a P-lip modification

    I don't have the article anymore but in it Van Cleef stated that he smoked Wellingtons in that movie so that if he dropped it on set he wouldn't be out one of his Petersons.

    Well Brothers, I guess my pipe smoking days are over now

    When my first attack struck at 37 it was the widow maker. You've got a tough decision to make. I'm still smoking after five attacks and I'm 63 now. My doc's say I inherited the problem too and that quitting won't help and 1 or 2 bowls a day won't hurt. You'd probably be wise to quit. That's...

    Jim's Condor Long Cut Review.

    I really like condor. I smoke a lot of Carter Hall and found that if I smoke a bowl of Condor and then smoke Carter Hall in the same bowl I can smoke seven (7) bowls of Carter Hall and it still tastes like Condor. A good way to stretch my pitifully small supply of Condor.

    sharpening knives

    John, you can true up your stones by grinding them on a rough, flat surface. Even a sheet of thick glass with some abrasive on it will work. I just use a convenient spot on the floor of my carport. I recently made myself a strop with a piece of leather glued to a board that I carved to...

    Slow night anyone want to chat?

    When I try the chat it tells me I'm disconnected even though I just logged in. I just tried it again. Still says disconnected.

    Luxury Navy Flake in a MM Legend. There just may be something to cube cutting this stuff. Burning quite nicely.

    Going in for tests to determine why I'm having heart pain.

    Firstly, I want thank you folks for the good wishes. It helps to know that someone is rooting for me. My last male friend died Oct 3rd. We were fishing buddies for 35 years. I sure miss him. Not the best news from the doc but I can live with it. Leaky heart valve...not bad enough to worry...

    Going in for tests to determine why I'm having heart pain.

    Went to the hospital yesterday for echo to see if anything showed up there. Today I have a cardiac stress test and nuclear scan to see if I have more blockages. So far I've had 9 stents, a triple bypass and five heart attacks. Not looking forward to this at all. The bypass caused me to go into...

    Going in for surgery today

    Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. The doc said he got it all. No results yet but he says it looked "like a normal cyst but that it was deep". The swelling is already subsiding and the bruising isn't very bad considering I take a blood thinner daily.

    Going in for surgery today

    Got a lump on my neck. They think it's just a benign cyst but won't know for sure until it's excised and biopsied. See ya'll later.
