Did you have crop dusters in the area? They don't dust cows, do they? No no no. Crop dusters. You know… those big long coats they put around the corn when it gets cold. 🤭

For some reason games workshop decided to split my model order into three separate shipments. I ordered 3 model kits in one order. But they sent them as 3 separate packages. Weird. Got one of the them today others are supposed to be here on Wednesday. I’m not in a hurry to work on them just found it odd to split it to three packages.

A new gas stove ... rental property stove failed and it would have been approximately $300 to repair. Found a dent & scratch special with no visible damage for $500.

It’s been 4 years, believe it or not. That’s not a LONG time in the pipe making world, but it’s longer than it seems! When I saw your first few pipes I thought you were precocious. I should have brought one then. But it wouldn’t have been as good as they are now! Constant honing…

Walt pepesdad1 asked that I post pics of the two commissioned pipes that I just sent him, so here they are. Both look great, but that first one I really like.

Well, I tried the Pumpkin Spice and it was flavored with the insecticide. 😥

In the freight business, I have seen it happen. It was in the mailbox. I don't see any recourse. The mailbox does not have any residual smell. I should have taken it back to the post office unopened.

I bought one of these Peterson Halloween 2022 in the 05 calabash shape. The stem and black cauldron shape was really calling to me. I threw in 2 ounces of Kendal Flake along with it.

Ah man, C&D just raised their tobacco prices again. Last I looked days ago, tins were still $11.05. Now the base tin price is $11.60, looks like Haunted Bookshop cake is a whopping $12.75 for some strange reason. I still remember $8.50-8.99 C&D tins.

I hope it's a good one. I have 4 versions of the 05 shape or I might look closely at it.

20 rounds of Hydra shok 9 mm 20 rounds of Hydra shok .380
With shipping, that pretty much shoots a $100 bill. If they feed well in the two guns then it will be another $100.
I guess that I am lucky though, if they had self defense ammo in .30 carbine, my bill would have tripled.
I just wish I had adopted the “ammo will never be cheaper” attitude 20 years ago. I have a lot of ammo compared to some, a pittance to others. 😕

For me it’s what’s not in the mail. I got a message from DHL regarding an order from Estervals that has been held up for five weeks. They want a power of attorney to act as a customs agent, a copy of my TTB tobacco importers license, which I don’t have and am not required to from my understanding since I’m not a business/commercial importer and an EIN associated with my TTB which I also don’t have for the same reason. I have requested the package be returned to Estervals since I don’t see this getting solved due to bureaucratic red tape. C'est la vie.

That sucks, Ted.
There would be no problem with flying home with it from Estervals, but flying it home by itself is somehow wrong?
I had problems with FedEx getting Chimo from SA, and the guy at FedEx called me and did everything he could to solve the problem, but the customs agents in Miami enjoyed their position of power. I ate it for $100.
DHL, I never had a problem with the same products as they did not go through Miami. A retired customs agent in our pipe club told me that Miami has always been a PITA.
As a result, anything tobacco related offshore, the only ones that I am confident making it through is from Mr. Snuff.

Thanks Charlie. There always seems to be a steady supply of petty tyrants just waiting for an opportunity to show someone who’s the boss. At the same time, this is my first experience of this over many years of many orders from various places, so my odds are still good. I guess I just won’t be restocking HU this time. Kind of annoying though in that it was a $400+ order. I have thought about trying some things from Mr. Snuff, good to know that doesn’t seem to be an issue.
