We don't really have a lot of flies but this tool really drags them into the jug….It feels good to just remove them from society. If you really hated someone, a dissolved packet of the stuff would really make a nasty potion. My buddy lived in a condo with a neighbor who kept giving him grief. Drilled a small hole thru the wall at a downward angle into carpet. 2-part skunk scent shot in with a syringe. Caulk the hole. Voila! No neighbor. He had PO'D the neighbor on the other side who apparently poured Zip-Strip all over his car. Instant karma seemed to be the rule in that complex. |

You wandered off to Jocks Mixture for a while there, but back home with Sir Walter now, eh?  Yes I did. It's good to be back with my old standby. Do you have a certain blend you favor mostly? Apologies, if I asked you that question before. Hmm, not really. Not the way SWR is for you, anyway. I'd probably like it to be Old Gowrie, but it's difficult enough to get that I try not to smoke it as much as I'd like, even though I have a pretty good supply laid in. I probably end up smoking more Luxury Bullseye Flake than anything, which is hardly anything to complain about. It's a flake, it's tasty, it smokes well, it ages well, and it's available in bulk. Hard to wrong. |

Snagged this one of the 'Bay for cheap yesterday. A GBD New Standard billiard:  And, while we hit a few local junk shops yesterday, I found this BBB Own Make Virgin Zulu. Should clean up nicely. Each pipe cost a little over 22 bucks a piece.   |

   Another unsmoked eBay Meer, this one is an AKB, carved by Ali; "Irish Chieftain", got a great deal on it. Nice score! Now we expect to see you in full regalia smoking it...a Chieftan smoking a Chieftan. |

The BBB is kinda meh, but will be nice after I clean it up. |

That one is a favorite of papipeguy. |

I've had quite a few shipments, in this month of April, and have one remaining
to arrive. I will soon have a total of 7.5 pounds of Sir Walter Raleigh Regular and yet one more Stanwell model 32 bulldog. Oh, throw in another pound of Peter Stokkebye's Proper English 52.

We've had all kinds. Right now we are using the expanding hoses from Temu 😵💫 We actually like them a lot. If they go we will probably just replace them. We have Craftsman rubber professional hoses, but we can hardly move them. |

This hose is extremely light.
I bought a hose reel about a year ago, and had to string out all 50 feet to get rid of the kinks.
With this hose reel, there is only one kink 1 foot from where the hose hooks up and drapes over the wheel, but there is a cheap mod to overcome that.

I've got a Milwaukee M18 FUEL string trimmer on the way. Everything with a cord or gas tank gets replaced this year.

 Wife buys the expanding hoses at the Cheapo store, if they last 2 years it’s a bonus, we always buy the longest ones as we live on a farm and hose bibs are far apart.

Ordered a cusinert 4 cup rice cooker for the wife, she shopped and was impressed with it but did not want to spend the money. JC Penny had a big internet savings, no tax, free shipping so I bought it for her, it will be a surprise, she’s been cooking my Parish rice which is low glycemic rice with 65% more protein. Got to keep her in good Graces.

I have a BD 40v hedge trimmer and an Ego 56v string trimmer. The Ego trimmer is the best I have had out of about 20 corded and 3 gasoline trimmers. And they finally perfected the line feed. Long way from being able to mow 1.28 acres with an electric lawnmower though. |

One of my best yard management purchases was a Honda FOUR STROKE trimmer. Great instrument.
