    Had a bit of a scare yesterday

    I was at work and my wife called me and asked if I had gotten a text from her. I hadn't, but asked her what had happened. She had been bitten by a snake. I got the picture and saw that it was a copperhead. I told her to get the neighbor and to go to the ER. I was across town. I know that I...

    Buffeted but still flying

    I have not been very involved in this site for the past few months due to home/ work / general life. As some of you may remember, I lost my job almost two months ago. I found a temp job, but with all the rain down here, I was literally rained out of work. So, I called up a company I had...

    Willie Nelson Concert - had a great time!

    So,  I finally got to cross the Willie Nelson concert off of my bucket list.  Yay!  It was an awesome time.  My wife and I really enjoyed our time there.  I represented the pipe world by smoking McCranie's Somerled in my BSP pipes.  Everywhere I turned, people were telling me how nice my pipes...

    A cool story about pipe smoking.

    This is a podcast, but the story is pretty cool. It is horror genre, but more of a suspense. Ol' Dagon Dark

    Like the pun?

    So,  I am re-arranging my office for my growing collection of pipes and my expanding cellar.  This office contains my computer, cd player, books, and ham radio stuff as well.  So, while showcasing my pipes, I subconsciously made a pun.  For those who don't know me very well, I do NOT like puns...

    My first pipe repair

    So, I was cleaning a GBD Perspex stem today and realized that if I put one end of the bristle pipe cleaner in a drill, that I could get the bristles cleaning the gunk out alot easier.  So, I did that and it worked really really well after soaking the stem in some alcohol. Well, I figured if it...

    6000 miles in 6 days!

    Yes, I am a glutton for punishment. I traveled approximately 6000 miles in 6 days, from Houston, to the Appalachians, to the Great Lakes, to the Rockies, and back to Houston. This was strictly a work trip. We had a narrow window weather wise, as well as the need to complete the work before...

    Bombed by Clay

    I will tell you what! It is wonderful to come home on Friday after a rough week and find a bomb from Alaska sitting in my easy chair. Clay had offered up some beeswax a few weeks back, and I had mentioned that I would like to get some. He sent the beeswax, all right, but the sneaky brother...
