Howdy, all.
I'm just some idiosyncratic, moody and moderately tasteful, lightly trashy fellow from Reno.
Likely I'll let time and communication dictate who you think I am, or you'd envision me as, but I'm a fun conversationalist, rife with questions about everything around me, filled with information I sometimes wish I didn't have, and enjoy the company of select individuals.
Yeah, I smoke a pipe. I suppose that's important. I started smoking one in high school, which naturally, made me the envy of my classmates. Actually, among other things, it usually was grounds for a proper arse-whoopin'. That's life in adolescent weirdsville.
Recently got back into my pipe, as cost-versus-income made it an achievable luxury. Hooray! I've found my tastes are quite different. I've been quite taken to pairing rye whiskies and some scotch with the pipe smoke, so I'm pretty much starting from scratch.
I still have my Dr. Grabow Lark from high school, a terrible little smoking device, but it looked neat. I was working at an old folks home back then, and it was given to me practically on the deathbed of some creepy old soul named Lloyd. He apparently found it important that I not only take his old pipe, but to use it. Respecting my elders and shirking off my duties as a self-conscious teen, so it went.
Nowadays I'm running around with a second-hand thrift store Danish pipe with no name, a nicely hand-carved bowl, vulcanite (I think) stem and a lovely cake. I have a pretty li'l Nording sitter on layaway at the local Tinder box. Just suited my fancy, and I think giving the ol' Danish a break once in a while is a good idea. I found this blog searching about how one would carve their own pipe--which I intend to embark upon relatively soon. Debark? *sigh*
Anyway, I play/repair/collect/experiment with old synthesizers, I like crappy old rifles and other various weapons, Vespa and Bajaj scooters, circuit bending horrid toys, making music, training in Aikido and writing for my local blog. I work in the mining industry as a geotech and consultant, enjoy gardening, cooking and B-rate films.
Look forward to chatting with you all, as you seem like a nice bunch.
Cheers!
