Well you certainly had a challenging road to travel during this chapter of your life, and learned more about the legal system in regards to family law than anyone should have to know.
The windshield looks better than the rearview mirror.

Being subjected to "The Voice", my wife's favorite show. It doesn't interest me in the slightest and one of the judges made some idiotic statements recently that does not help. For the sake of domestic tranquility, I get the laptop out, and put a pipe in my pie-hole...or is it pipe-hole?

You sound like an English teacher. I don't do assignments anymore. . I'm sorry you feel that way. He has a dry sense of humor at times.

Sadly, we had a Dedicated pipe store in Phoenix that was magnificent, and it the inventory was remarkable. They could get the blends in stock nobody else could. Dad passed away and it went to his son, and he seemed to be on a mission to offend the clientele. Needless to say, the store ended up closing. I never experienced any of the nonsense but a lot of regular patrons of that store that I hold in high regard spoke about it. I wish the father had sold the store to someone with retail skills.

My wife's grandmother had the green thumb and produced some great flowers in the bay area. One weekend we went out to a remote ranch one of my work buddy's family owned. There was a downed old tree at least 20 feet long covered with so many ladybugs that you could hardly see the wood...a massive moving skin of ladybugs. I told grandma about it..."You crazy fool, you should have jarred as many as you could, I have aphids and they would rid me of them." Heck, I didn't know that, and I didn't know she had aphids.

Streamed this in the truck pretty well cranked, and had an Oh Sh1T moment, when a car cut in front of me and slammed on their brakes to make a right hand turn. The sequential string of LED lights on the camera was going as it triggered an incident, beamed back to the corporate mother ship with audio.

Some beautiful colors!
Years ago when I took my daughter to college in South Carolina, we travelled up to Asheville and the Arboretum at the Biltmore estate had some truly beautifully delicate flowers grown by talented people that knew their stuff, but they got nothing on your missus!

It should be the gold standard, at a dollar an ounce it is easy to watch the market! Or dollar a sandwich. It's cheaper in the Shreveport stores. This one is 52¢/oz. Krewe Foods Muffuletta Olive Salad, 15.5oz. a.co/d/gFTNu5bThis one might be more your style. Ghost Pepper Muffuletta Olive Salad, 15.5oz. a.co/d/i9PcXBjThanks! I never knew about jarred olive salad until I tried the one, never knew there were variants. I will check them out.

Found amongst things digging through the cellar, rare find! Beautiful patina! Legend has it that none other than Charles Peterson wove leprechaun beard hair to make them, and these cleaners deliver the driest smoke possible. Self cleaning too.... not responsible for operator error though. Silent bidding starts at $150.00, funds go to Remaining Survivors of the Irish Potato Famine.

My coworker named Dan decided to place a $100 bet on Mystic Dan in the Kentucky Derby, 20:1 odds.
Told him I’m pissed at him for withholding the info.

Was anyone around on May 5th 1961 to watch Alan Shepard become the first American astronaut in space. They herded about 90 of us into the cafeteria to watch in the 19 inch b/w TV to watch the Redstone rocket not explode. We were quiet. I was 5 months old…. Pretty sure I was tuned out.

I didn’t realize that was a thing until I saw a post a few weeks back. Maybe I will join in in a couple weeks, (next Saturday is a pipe club meeting and I am pretty smoked out at night). When the Strang runs out for everyone it will be Saturday night Griever. Charlie, back in the day when Mr. Motzek was importing to the US through various sellers, (before the nanny sate imposed their will), several of us in another forum would just get together and enjoy a bowl of Strang every Saturday night. One of the members took some of our posting pictures and created the Saturday Night Strang  theater billing! We would post our pictures and have a grand time. We had members from around the world. One was a feller in Mainz Germany who I have sadly lost contact with. He had never had a Corn Cob pipe nor had he seen one so I sent him one. Customs in Germany held it at his post office and he had to go pick it up there. The agent was confused by it and when he asked my friend what it was, all he said was, Huckelberry Finn and the agent said "oh, it's toy" and let it go through.  I do miss being able to spend more time engaged in conversations, but alas, life changes everything.... We had a watchmaker named Valentine from Germany on this forum, he did a group buy for us, and it was a pretty big haul. I wish I had bought more. Still have some, but it does not leave the house.

Cinco De Mayo here, made red chile sauce with powders from ElPotrero Trading Post Chimayo New Mexico. The pork has among other things Hatch chiles… refried beans from scratch, shredded chicken breast, it turned out really good. You can call me El Gordo El Grande… translation does not sound so impressive… Big Fatso. imgur.com/a/c6jRGC7

Horse racing is something I've never paid any attention to. I know about Secretariat's epic sprint at the Belmont, and that's about it. Same here… I did have a ride on Widowmaker that was a horse from hell, wanted to kick me, she bit me and gave me a harrowing ride… at a full on run she ticked her head down and tried to rake me off under a tree branch. Decided that I have more control burning fossil fuels. Seeing what happened to Christopher Reeve didn’t help any.

Good evening all.  Time for some Saturday Night Strang in a Royalton Bent... A large sweet tea alongside... I didn’t realize that was a thing until I saw a post a few weeks back. Maybe I will join in in a couple weeks, (next Saturday is a pipe club meeting and I am pretty smoked out at night). When the Strang runs out for everyone it will be Saturday night Griever.

We went to Costco the other day and were amazed at the high prices of olive oil! And there was no Mulfetta olive salad in stock.
It seems that there has been really bad drought conditins in the olive producing regions across the pond.
Fortunately we were not in need of olive oil, but I had a hankering for the Mulfetta, it turns a bologna sandwich into a tasty meal.

Kind of a Charcutier Plate for supper. Foie de Canard Pate, Braunschweiger, sliced Pastrami Hungarian Style, Goat cheese, Cotswald Cheddar, baguette, salad of Garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, diced zucchini, Feta Cheese in olive oil with lemon juice. In honor of all those Frenchies who did not survive the morrow! Actually, they were Foreign Legionnaires, so not French at least most of them. Sounds like an eclectic meal. I remember Woolworth’s lunch counter had the best Braunschweiger ever. It was a real treat to go with grandma downtown on the bus for lunch.
