Since I rarely smoke these days, maybe 1 cigar every other week or less, I find I gravitate to the pipe more because I can more easily decide how much time I want to devote to it. With a cigar I pretty much have to finish it wether it's an hour or 2. With the pipe I can do just a bowl or half a bowl or multiple bowls if I feel like it.

Also lot's of variations in taste and aroma... some of these smell amazing!

I quit smoking 16 years ago and had my pipe-phase into the last quarter of that, used it almost on board on long flights as smoking wasnt prohibited into the cockpit and so into the rest of the aircraft. Felt everytime comfortable with it and the smell was very nice.
Miss it sometimes but w/o is definitely better for me.

Definitely better for you. I quit smoking 21 years ago and it was one of the hardest things I had to do. And the best thing I did for myself, health wise.

Well, looks like no SmartTop. Never received, never received tracking information and told Vivid Racing to cancel the order last week if there was no ETA available. Still no refund. Looks like it is headed towards a credit card disputed charge.

Hell that looks brand new! Here's the POS I had to dig out of the hiding spot at our cabin last year......WAY past due.

Notice the electrical connection pocket completely full of water - nice engineering right there.... =)

It looks ok but 9 years old. Thought about it but replaced rather than attempt repair as i was told the more modern ones last only about 7-12 years. I like your horror film inspired water heater though.

I know it says no weapons in the title. And I also know sometimes the way I play this could be considered an assault weapon. But I plead mercy and tolerance. I'm so chuffed that after 5 years of no interest in adding to the collection I actually bought this today. Sounds SOOOOO sweet.

Yes - that one was 14 years old - so past due. And when I found it seeping like that in a place that is not occupied often - you could imagine how that could have went........It was not a pleasant weekend chore as it was.

I redneck reengineered the "water in the electrical box" issue though, so I hope it won't happen again!

Did some reading on that bike and it sounds great! Love the way it looks as well. Is it as comfortable as they say?

Finally got around to buying a pressure washer. Decided to get an electric powered one for medium duty work (2000 PSI) around the house which is enough. I was surprised to see this Hasqvarna branded one at Costco for just $190. I used it to pressure wash my driveway and it worked great. I also discovered it's a rebranded Briggs & Stratton unit but I think they have a decent reputation. Only thing I don't like about it is the flimsy high pressure hose it came with so I ordered an aftermarket one which is way better. This PW seems to be a rock solid unit and built robust. Nice peace of mind knowing I got it from Costco should anything go wrong.

I'll finally be able to wash my cars too but I need to invest in a couple more tools such as a foam cannon to work with the pressure washer. Tons of good and cheap options available which is great.
