Yes I'm very close - 20 minutes or so away @ worst, although I tend to smoke mostly cigars during the summer months. Give me a shout if you want to hook up.

quite... indeed.



who knows. who cares. i don't have a computer around with my old avatar right now.
just waiting until some jackass gets "offended"... surprised nobody was offended by my "Iranian women pistol shooting" avatar? although a very famous photograph, surely there's some pansy ass who doesn't want us to offend anyone aorund these parts - even IF it's just a damn photo (or now a cartoon).

with that, i'm outta here. time to go crash my car on friday the 13th.

On a completely unrelated note, anybody here active on any other forums (pipe or not)?

I am about 40 minutes away, or so...I think it would be great to meet. Although I must admit I have trepidation that j6ppc would also be there, giving me a stern look and a scolding for missing SoCal without a truly valid excuse


argh!!! wouldn't you know it? I leave for San Francisco on Monday and my wife could only get the one day off. Seems like with the amount of local travel I'm doing she'd be able to go with me sometime!!

Anyone out there doing any business travel and having ANY luck arranging for family to go along, meet a friend or whatever? Seems most of my plans fall by the wayside somehow......maybe it's me?

There's one other pipe-type forum but I rarely post. And I am still a member of some F-150 forums, but I also have not been on there much lately. That's about it.

Oh yeah - I also used to be on some auto detailing forums. But same as with the truck forums, I don't post much becuase I have not really been active with my vehicles because of work. I was never obsessive but I used to keep the cars at least show room clean at all times. Polymer sealants, DA polisher, always garaged, dust every morning (about 2 minutes each) and a quick detail every 4th day or so (about 6 minutes each) wash every 3 or so weeks.
Now my truck is parked outside due to work on the house and it's disgusting

I have a 1964 Italian Vespa scooter in my basement, oh yeah and 4 bicycles, and another everyday run-about scooter on the front balcony...welcome to the world of a pipe smoker in Amsterdam, my wife has a driving license and I don't, and I can drive, and she can't....but sorry, no trucks!

i have a 2003 element, ugliest damn car there is, but had more interior room than my parents suburban. needs washed so bad, huge layer of dust across the dash as well

I frequent these three forums, don't post much, but read a lot on them. Both have a lot of info.

Offended Greg, Chicks with guns are HOT( really, head to toe black in the desert, HOT).


Packing a large tobacco cellar takes a lot of boxes. Man, i love long distance moves. I hope this is the last big one.

ironic... i was smoking that on the drive home from work. the airbag would've pushed it through the back of my throat.



INDEED.

i can't count how many other forums i'm a member of... at least another 8-10 cigar/pipe related ones... and i use to be a "regular" in the fantasy football forums, about 3 or 4 of those as well, since the mid 90s. thinking about joining a photography forum... but probably won't. i'm only active, really active, on 2 forums right now, CS and KFFL.

that's cuz you live in europe, dub.
the land of excellent public transportation, super high fines for tickets (along with year long suspensions of your license if you get a ticket in the first year)... and no trucks because they don't make 'em over there unless they're a "TRUCK" to be used for work.

i loved living in germany... no huge ol' family Vans, big ol' SUVs, Trucks, etc, taking up all that space and you can't see around 'em for crap. here in the states, all you see are HUGE vehicles, sucking up gas.
little tiny bitchy women, yelling at their kids to sit down and shut up in the back of the Suburban that they shouldn't be driving because they can't see over the steering wheel... they have to make a 5 point turn just to get in/out of a parking spot at the grociery store... and they only have 1 or 2 kids, yet drive a vehicle that seats 8??!! they could easily get by with a VW van TDI, get 700 miles per tankful, and have plenty of room to spare inside.
but NOOOOOO, little 4'9" molly fatass has to drive the latest Cadillac Escelade with 22" rims. damn thing probably cost them $600/month in car payments, $100/month in credit card payments for the rims and tires (when the orginal rims were good enough)... and probably on $50,000/yr household income...

image is everything, just like the 7-Up comercial state.
