Half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. A bottle of Boylan's Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

Stress is peaked out right now... so much for that rainbow It will get better, trust me I know of what I speak. Try putting out Positive vibes and you will get positive in return. Don't feel like being positive? then fake it til you do. Trust me ! |

Wise word Pistol Pete 1911 I'm generally happy go lucky and always look at the bright side of things. The bright side of this one is another lesson learned and I don't have to explain myself or answer to anyone else. Never expect anything different from anyone who has already showed you who they REALLY are. Back on topic... Drexel VIII in the shed, with my radio and tools. My happy place! |

Tomorrow I’m going back to my son’s, he’s going to NYC for a 4 day vacation. I was just informed by my son that he’s had NO cable since Monday and the bill might be paid at the end of next week. So...that’s NO TV...WIFI or phone!!! Guess I will be traveling back to my daughters or ex’s often during the week. It’s just unbelievable!!!

Good evening my dear friends, i hope that all of you will be well. I thought that my 2017 vacations were "adventurous" but i was wrong, my 2018 are for sure. The first weeks everything was fine but the last the things changed. I had to make a small surgery with laser (i lost 5 days of swimming) and except the pain and the aftermath procedure my blood test results shown that my LDL was high and i had to change my way of life a little bit. Nevertheless i returned to Athens at Sunday night thinking that Monday morning i will be back in action. My wife asked me to transfer the data from one memory card to another for her smartphone, the card reader has a little bit abnormal shape so i removed my 32GB usb stick, i made the transfer and when i put my usb stick back i saw by surprise that was empty! Yes, everything inside were gone! Inside of that usb stick was my blog's archive, 28 GB full of photos,videos,music etc were vanished! My mistake was that i didn't follow the hardware removal procedure because i was in a hurry and the disaster came. The first minutes i could believe it, after the initial shock i was ready to shoot the pc screen and the laptop too but my wife stopped me, i started punching my desk slandering with heavy words throwing some things to the wall and the rest of the family came inside trying to calm me down. I was full of anger, my archive was lost, thousands of photos-videos etc, endless hours of working outside the balcony in bad weather, lot of money wasted and my pride deeply hurt. Someone can say "hey, you already have the blog posted material, yes but i have finished some pipes and i don't have any more the step by step procedure so i have nothing to show to you, here is an example:  The pipe is finished now already modified but were are the rest of the photos? Were is my work to show it to you? How another pipe smoker will take help now without the step-by-step procedure? After an hour i remembered that i had taken a back-up but i saw that it was till 2017 which means all my 2018 files were gone, i started with programmes as Recuva to search inside that damned usb stick and i managed to retrieve the majority of my material. Each pipe was in a separated file with name,date etc, each video has a serial number, the slide-show archives have been lost etc...now everything is mixed and i had to remove the damaged photos and "pull together" the rest of them. The videos and the sounds are there but mixed, for 3 days and nights i am trying to make my archive as it was, now is about 70% OK and i need more time but i can not make it exactly as i was. Sorry for my long post but i had to explain to you the whole situation, for few days my post wouldn't be as you knew them but i hope that after some days everything will be as normal. I have many pipe smoking photos from the country to show you plus interesting places, now i need your understanding and your patience, i believe that God will give me the strength to full recover from the surgery and bring my archive "back to life". I haven't smoking for 3 days now, with such a pain in my heart and the bitter taste in mouth i didn't even want to touch any pipe. As Arnold said once: media.giphy.com/media/JDKxRN0Bvmm2c/giphy.gif |

Sid ^^^^^^^ hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself please 👍. I tell everyone I know........” if your data is very important it should be backed up 3 times “!!! Both flash drives and hard drives fail. Your data might not be recognizable on your thumb drive.....do you know how to check the space that’s available on the thumb drive your data is not showing up on? Don’t format the thumb drive until you see available space that’s left....good luck

I have freaked out about that so I've backed up everything to Google and at least I have a copy there. I've sold my soul to Google, but I've nothing to hide so I'm ok. I hope you can post your iconic pictures shortly and get back on that pipe smoking horse. Take care of yourself, sid. |

Sorry to hear of your travails...you have been missed, glad your surgery went well and you are on the road to recovery. I've done the same with some of my data...now I back up everything to a thumb drive so that it is out and in my hands (where I will lose it).
Stay in touch, we are your friends. What is happening after the fire? Was worried when we didn't hear from you.
Now smoking six pence in a just painted black cob like LL did. Looks great!
