    Newest Project - "Bridge Pipe"

    For lack of more accurate nomenclature, I'm calling this my "Bridge Pipe." It needs much more work, especially in terms of having equal dimensions. Much of the pipe is not symmetrical yet, but I'll get there. If you get a chance to look at this and have any idea on how to make the open space...

    Finishing a natural pipe

    I've done this with cheap ebay pipes. I will sand them, and refinish them. Sometimes I have to even re-rusticate, when possible. Some of the rustications are so ugly (Dr. Grabow current series) that I practice my rustication on them. If you want some cool colors, look at Pipe Makers Emporium and...

    Ooops!

    Yeah good point. Those concrete stops sure would make a difference. I saw this and part of me thought "Holy $@#%! that sucks." Another part of me felt really bad for the guy. However, it did look surreal when I walked up to it.

    Ooops!

    I saw this in the parking lot at work. How does something like this happen? Look at how high the lip is on the edge?

    Dodged a Health Bullet

    Hey Jack, Yeah it's the third time in my life I've had to do this. I hope that this time, the third time, will be the charm and I can stay at a healthy weight for a long time. Struggling with weight sucks, and it's a fraggin battle every day. Thanks for your kind words, Jack.

    Get up, fainting goat, PLEASE!

    Did you ever see the Dirty Jobs episode where Mike Rowe had to deal with some of these crazy goats. It's hysterical. He runs around and scares a few and they pass out.

    Seen the cover of LL Bean Spring catalog yet?

    It's interesting that they recreated this through photography and not some sort of modern art or drawing. Pretty cool!

    Favorite activity while smoking

    Okay, I'm so friggin ADD, that I always have to bring something with me while I'm smoking. Although, since I've cut down on the caffeine, I'm enjoying silence more than usual. :shock: That said, I'm your typical "outdoor only" smoker, as my wife barely tolerates my hobby. :( (Truth is...

    Pac NW hit hard by freezing rain stowm

    Dodged a Health Bullet

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the positive feedback and supportive comments! My doctor mentioned that I'd already dropped 20lbs since Thanksgiving, so that made me happy. However, I'm strongly feeling what Mr. E said. I'm in heart-attack-territory now. I'm almost 42 and only getting older. As much...

    Dodged a Health Bullet

    Before I post this, I'm actually rather hesitant, because I hate people preaching to me. It usually just pisses me off, and I get sick of their high-and-mighty BS. But, I really just want to help anyone in my shoes. A little background: I'm severely overweight, have terrible lipids, and as my...
