Frosty Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Looks like you're having a pretty good time there Billy. I think we've gotten one trick or treater here in the 26 years we've lived here. Seems to be something about living a couple hundred feet back in the woods damps the trick or treater's spirits. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I knew somebody that attached a pair of boots to some denim jeans and then stuffed them full of rags to fill them out. He then hung them out of his cars trunk and splashed some red paint all over. Ain't Halloween fun? Of course it was an old beater he used for different holidays in different ways.

Goods Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 This is extent of my Halloween decorations: Ive always thought it would be neat to fabricate arms with claw like fingers, but I’m afraid the effort to get the effect I want would take the fun out of it… Keep it fun, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 David, I like your foursquare house. It is similar to ours 1907 one in Ft. Morgan, CO but ours lost its porch many years ago. Also like the teeth and eyes. GNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past it every day going back and forth to work for ten years. Then it went up for auction in the last recession and we got it for a very good price. We’ve put a lot of time and money into over the past 15+ years, but it has been well worth it. I could go on and on about the property… (It was a good place to be stuck during the height of the pandemic! I can’t imagine how people living in apartments/condos survived that time period.)

Frosty Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Beautiful house David, I love a 4 square. I'm usually more a craftsman guy but it's hard to beat a nice 4 square and yours makes an excellent Jack o' Lantern. There's still time to paint it orange you know. Frosty The Lucky.

JHCC Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 A week or so ago, we got a kabocha squash (aka "Japanese pumpkin") in our weekly farm share, and a day or two ago, I roasted it and included the flesh in a really delicious soup with a lot of onions, carrots, celery, vegetable stock, and cubes of a very garlic-y kielbasa sausage. Yesterday, I decided to dig the seeds out of the trash, clean them off, and save them for planting next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Billy, great hearing from you, I’m just getting around to reading this thread, I’ve been pretty busy the last few weeks and haven’t taken the time to check IFI. I was wondering last week if you had put up the decorations yet and what you had done this year. Looks like you’re having fun with them again.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Y’all don’t be picking on my pipe that’s my favorite one in my collection!! it’s a Peterson from Dublin with the p-lip mouth piece and sterling silver band it’s the system body that allows the water vapor from the pipe tobacco to cool and become trapped in a reservoir allowing for a dry smoke 15 hours ago, Frosty said: There IS something whacky about the skeleton, does it look like it's coughing to you to, Scott? I don’t smoke THAT kind of tobacco good Sir!!! 15 hours ago, Scott NC said: Prince Albert No No No No No No a thousand times No!!!! one does not buy his pipe tobacco and or fine cigars at an establishment that sells…. Prince Albert!!!!! Only tobaccos hand blended and flavored in house!!! Or tinned tobaccos from from reputable companies that know how to blend tobaccos Prince Albert is by name only a pipe tobacco!!! The very thought!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoon ik Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So whatcha smoking? You have many pipes? Too windy here (storm Ciaran is passing today) to even think about lighting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 2 minutes ago, gewoon ik said: whatcha smoking? this morning I’m having a aromatic that’s a blend of red Virginia and black cavendish with a little vanilla and caramel I also like trying different burley's and Latakias too! I know some people that really don’t like Latakia but think it goes good with hot coffee in the morning, I’m not overly a fan of plugs I’m to lazy to cut them up i like mine already cut up lol commercially i really like tobacco from Cornell & Diehl and the tins that Peterson’s sells that used to be Dunhill blends theres a really nice place north of me that blends in house and they always have something new with every season it’s expensive but i really like trying custom house blends from them I currently have 10 pipes some are antique estate pipes and some are modern that I bought new, I bought my first pipe years ago when I was younger and in the Navy it was a Peterson Shannon model, I still have that one today Do you smoke pipe? If so what tobacco you like? What kind of pipes do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoon ik Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I smoke a couple of years pipe. I like virginia's, vaper and vabur. Also some oriental is never a bad thing Latakia is for me autum, winter. Viginias and semois summertime. More a fan of the unflavered or light aromatics. Have an old stock of tabaco from 2015 when i bought a lot. Still some dunhills from when they stopped. Almost always have something of MacBarren open, navy flake or now scottish mixture. Also brown sugar flakes from gatwick. A one of they did in 2014. Very nice! And dunhill london mixture Not a big smoker. I think 2 or 3 tins yearly. Pipes almost all estates. Cheapies. Also some good new ones. Yearpipes of a pipesmokersforum (there is another member here also a member there). Around 12 pipes or so. New one comming with christmas (prf pipe) At this moment i have 2 broken mounthpieces and one i think is broken but i don't see it. All of them eboniet and all minimum 50 years old. Mostly billards, canadians, ... straith pipes. I have a couple of bent ones as well. But the tabaccoprices will hike in Belgium next year, so time to go shopping and storing again. Before they stop importing some brands I have to travel for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
