    Just Had Twins!!!

    We have not named them yet. I haven't even really checked to see if they are male or female. Was more concerned about making sure that they are warm and survived last night and the two nights ahead of us. It is supposed to be well below freezing for the next two nights. We have a heat lamp...

    Just Had Twins!!!

    Our farm has had its first twins born! Our goat, Slick, gave birth to two healthy and fine kids yesterday around 3pm. This is exciting as they are the first to be born on our farm. Unfortunately, they had to be born right before the big cold snap comes through tonight. So, I will be out...

    Keep me in your prayers please. UPDATE - Thanksgiving day

    All, I am out of the hospital! It was a rough time there. I was actually in twice. The first time, I was stabilized, stayed the night and got sent home. Then my bp spiked again and I thought I was actually having a heart attack. All the signs were there... numb left arm, chest pain, cold...

    Keep me in your prayers please. UPDATE - Thanksgiving day

    All, Thnx for your prayers and thoughts. I'm still in the hospital. BP spiked again for no known reason. All tests done have come back clean. No blockagw, no damage, but still high bp. I'll update when I can. Sorry for any lack of communication. JP

    Keep me in your prayers please. UPDATE - Thanksgiving day

    I came down with the flu this last weekend.  But the story doesn't end...  I went to the doc this morning due to high BP and some slight chest pains.  I am now in the hospital undergoing tests.  BP is under control.   They think it was just a product of a headache feeding the BP and then the BP...

    Howdy all, and a clarification

    Thank you for your replies. I plan on hanging around for sure. I have a mix of dairy and meat goats. We currently have 14 goats, 3 chickens, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and a pot-bellied pig. LOL. We had 3 horses, but had to sell due to the lack of rain. Our pasture didn't grow any grass for the last 3...

    Howdy all, and a clarification

    All, Just to clear the air, I am not sick, or having any health issues. I know that my sale post has had a few people worried. The fact of the matter is that in order to do thing things I want to do, I had to quit smoking a pipe. 1) I have taken a leadership position in my church. I feel...

    I got a big blue gun shaped crayon! (Also how do you carry?)

    I carry on my strong side with an allen leather holster.  I carry a full frame 1911 .45.  Here in Texas, we can open carry now, so I do that as well. (I have yet to be stopped or questioned)  However, when I need to Conceal, I just untuck my shirt, or throw on a jacket.

    In Memory of Truck Drivers in the day

    I spent the first few years of my life in an 18 wheeler. Nothin' like the rattle of a diesel and the smell of diesel smoke on a cold, crisp morning to wake a body up. I also remember the 8 track player in the cab over Kenworth my parents drove, and playing with the keys while running down the...

    My 13th pipe and it looks like it (Added Photos)

    BTW, I own this pipe, and can report that it smokes a dream. It never gurgles and burns everything to a nice ash. To me, this pipe is perfect, even if it is the 13th and it isn't quite what Ron envisioned. So, Ron did an awesome job on it, despite what he thinks. :)

    Thoughts on Pipe Dedication to Tobacco Families?

    This exactly. I have one pipe that is dedicated to lat blends, as that is what it smokes best. I have one pipe dedicated to Dan Tobacco Devil's Holiday, as that is the ONLY blend that it smokes well. (dont ask me why, it just does) I usually smoke whatever in whatever, and I smoke a generous...

    Crack of Dawn, Pt. 2, Bella's Revenge

    Very nice. You will have to give us a report on how she smokes. It seems that the position of the bowl is going to cause heavier charring on the top of the bowl. Do you find that this is an issue? I have a horn that seems to suffer that fate. Any hints on how to prevent that would be...

    Crack of dawn rough ins

    Nice job on that horn! I like that it sits. I was hoping it would be smooth, as it looked like the grain would really have shown on it. However, it is still a stunning pipe. I guess you didn't go insane from that marathon? Or did the apple pie help? 8) :lol!:

    New Year, New 'Baccy! January Bombing Run

    A nice bomb tore through my shed yesterday and startled the horses. :) I got a wide selection on Peterson blends. I tried the Peterson Aran, and it is fairly good. I look forward to trying the others shortly. Thanks, bomber!.

    Crack of dawn rough ins

    Very nice pipes you have started there, Ozark. Good luck on staying sane during a Twilight marathon. Might I suggest a goodly amount of some Apple Pie Shine? That should help as well. 8)
