    Coffee roasting

    So I have been roasting my own coffee for about 10 years in a small one pound roaster. Well I feel like it is coming to the end of its life, so the wife gave me permission to upgrade. We are also looking into starting to sell coffee as a supplement when I retire in the next year or so (oh so...

    Merchant Service

    Well they managed to stay in stock long enough for me to budget for it. After so long I was finally able to snag myself a MS standard. I have trying to get my hands on one of these for some time now. I love it and will take it for its maiden voyage tomorrow maybe.

    New (to me) Tinsky

    Ordered from Natch, have always wanted a Tinsky and when I saw the price that Natch was selling one for I had to jump on it. Also grabbed a tin of Black Parrott. He also included some extras to get the price up to his required 100 bucks.

    How my timing always works

    I have been waiting for Merchant Service pipe to be back in stock for a LONG time now. I got the email saying they are in stock and of course I don't have the spare cash to throw at a pipe. Not sure long they will be in stock but hopefully another couple weeks.

    First carving

    A while ago I got a pre-drilled morta block and finally got around to finishing it. Morta is a HARD wood, I started with a razor knife but that was not working so well lol. Finished most of it with a dremel and some sandpaper. Came it pretty OK and not very even. But all in all not bad for a...

    New blend

    Ordered 2 bags of 2oz Yazoo Witch Halloween blend from Country Squire. Went to refill my supply is Rivendell but to my dismay it was nowhere to be found. Did they change the names? Anyway, will be trying this one in the morning. Also it came with stickers for the jar lids, such a great idea if...

    New tobacco pick ups

    Was it of town the last 3 weeks, but was able to order some tobacco while I was out. Got the ribs off C&D current release of Sunbear and 4 oz of Country Squire Birthday Bash 1970. Guess I'm a sucker for limited edition stuff that I can apparently only buy once lol.

    Peterson Christmas

    Almost missed out on the one I wanted. Usually get my Pete Christmas pipe from Smoking Pipes since it come with the free tin of Christmas tobacco. By the time I got around to it they were out of the one I wanted. Finally found it at Country Squire and it arrived today.

    In the move again

    Well they just couldn't leave me be could they. About this time next year I'll be heading out to the great Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington State. The Army can have some foolish plans but moving cross country one year out from retirement just takes the cake. At least I'll be able to...

    Moving again

    About half way through yet another move. Renting can be tough at times. Just like last year the owner we were renting from decided to sell and we got pushed out. Got most of the things moved into the new house and will probably spend the rest of my Christmas leave unpacking and setting up.
