UPDATE ON SMOKING CORNER (And Car)

[GuitarMyFriend]

Alright lads. I got the SD card working. (Actually I gotta old one I found in my sock drawer). So Here's some pictures and updates. (I junked the old SD card, because it was worn or something and it wouldn't work in my camera or computer, and that had photos of my last set of bombs, you'll see the stuff in here, but there's no pictures of the bombs themselves. Sorry)
Alright...
The whole setup again;


The table beside the Captains Chair (Underneath the Pipe is an awesome leather pipe stand from a bomb);


The whole shelf of goodies (After being reorganized 32 times);


Tippy top shelf items, dedicated to Gramps stuff;


Top Shelf (Tobacco and pipes) I got tobacco up the butt now, I'll be set for years and the pipe rack was a antique shop find by my lady);


Next Shelf (More tobacco, my humidor, and some of my newer pipes. Some Sav's from Plumbernater (Thanks), and a Bjarne Viking, and a Peterson Kapet. I sold my van so I ran into some extra cash, and spent the day at the Cigar bar and shop smoking away, trying out my new pipes and tobaccos);




Next shelf (Lighters, flasks, and odds and ends. I got some awesome lighters from bombs, one being an old Kaywoodie that's giving me hell while trying to fix her);


Next Shelf (Pipe cleaners, filters (not that I use 'em) and tobacco. That box is absolutely full of tobacco samples that I've been sampling and keeping a log of what I like so I know what to purchase when I run out! You guys hooked me up with those bombs!);


Bottom Shelf (Books, magazines, files of my own, and an awesome Goodwill find, an old leather covered mens travel kit. I'll post pics in the haberdashery if anyones interested, let me know);


NOW! For my car situation. When I lived in Rhode Island, I drove a 2001 Pontiac Montana that was a pile. Than I moved to Michigan and got a 1993 (Same year as me) Pontiac Transport SE that shook worse than a Chihuahua. (Shown here);


And now just two days ago I got a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am that's in fantastic condition and gets double the gas mileage that my old can got. Here she is... purrrrrrrr;


Welp boys, that's me up to date. I want to thank the fellas that bombed me. It was much appreciated and my friends think of me as a tobacconist now. (Good/bad). Life is good now. I'm getting more and more financially set. Slowly yet surely. Thanks for looking brothers!

Post that pic of the traveling kit. I'm interested in how that looks. Nice set up you've got going!

RE: 'antique' pipe rack -- if you were in NO, I would wonder if my wife found where she stored my old pipe rack and sold it

The corner looks good

 

[Blackhorse]

You're more organized than I've EVER been! lol

 

[Rob_In_MO]

Looks Good, Zach. It's much more organized than my shelves.

 

[MisterE]

Well done Zach! :cheers:

Lookin good brother, congrats on all of it and the car. You are a lucky man.

 

[plumbernater]

Hey my friend your new pontiac looks clean. I need you at my house to go over my desk for me. I like your neatness

 

[GuitarMyFriend]

Yours ain't too bad! I would happily help you out cleaning that up! As long as I get to look at your pipes!
Thanks guys!
Zach

Great work figuring all that out Zach! It looks good, real good buddy!

Plumbernator, you know where everything is right? Thats the important thing!

 

[plumbernater]

There is a method to this madness

 

[zjgilbert]

As long as your guns and pipes are easily accessible then you're fine 8)

YES! I always liked the angle of the windshield and dash on those old Transports. It reminds of the way "futuristic" vehicles always looked in old 80s movies.

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Heh, my partner uses the same Oliva cigar box to keep his three pipes and tobacco in.

Yeah, your smoking corner is dedicated and organized. I can't even contain all of my stupid hobbies in the same room let alone a corner. My pipes and tobacco only occupy about 2% of it. :|

Man ! I live in the Bario but don't need to keep a gun out on my desk!! Looks like you need to find another "hood" to live in!

NOW! For my car situation. When I lived in Rhode Island, I drove a 2001 Pontiac Montana that was a pile. Than I moved to Michigan and got a 1993 (Same year as me) Pontiac Transport SE that shook worse than a Chihuahua. (Shown here);

No way! My folks had both a 1990 and a 1995 Transport. I inherited the 1995 when I went off to law school. That thing was an absolute beast. Mine had one of the first iterations of the remote sliding doors, and at the end it developed a tendency to open on its own, right as the car hit 55mph. The first time it happened to me I nearly crapped my pants. After that it became a game to see who we could get to unwittingly sit in the seat right next to the door. When I finally moved on, the old girl had over 250k miles on her.

I always thought they looked like Star Trek shuttles.

 

[monbla256]

A case where the design dept. was ahead of the engineering and production at GM. If they were brought out today, you might see a different product up to the design criteria.

Lookin' good, Zach!

YES! I always liked the angle of the windshield and dash on those old Transports. It reminds of the way "futuristic" vehicles always looked in old 80s movies.

I remember when the Ford Aerostar came out in the '80s; It was advertised as having the same front end profile as the Space Shuttle.

I always though the old Transports looked like a Dustbuster.
