Re: A voice from the past-WyoBob

A voice from the past-WyoBob
Hi pipe (and cigar) smokers.
As I get older, I get nostalgic. That prompted me to re-visit a place that I had such a great time in---Cigar Asylum!
I've spent a bit of time over the last couple...

Re: Boosting wireless internet signal
My wireless G's signal was low by the time it got to my shop so I recently bought a "D Link" that uses the house wiring. My old laptop's speed is now 8 megs instead of 2.5. The downside is that the...

Re: Three Redtail Hawks
I got close enough once that I could have touched a Redtail.
I was checking the 18 windmills on my ranch (in south central NE) in my 90 hp Super Cub. We had lots of Red Tails and I was always on...

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
Cobs draw a bit too easily for me without a filter. You can cut a paper filter in thirds and this restricts the draw and catches little bits of tobacco. Or, cheaper yet, cut pipe cleaners into 3/4"...

Re: Anyone here buy beef from a local farm?
The last I knew, there were no standards for "organic" beef.

Re: Anyone here buy beef from a local farm?
Some odds and ends:
As an example, with a live weight of 1,200 lbs., a steer at $1.10/lb with yield of 63% (average yield, at least in the old days) would give you a hanging carcass weight of 756...

Re: Anybody Trade Penny Stocks?
So, did you sell at the market on 3,750,000 shares and get filled at .007 on all of the shares? If so, all I can say is "wow". Lots of other sellers today. I guess that's why they closed at .003....

Re: Yay, another slope.
The "burning wood" flavor was the exposed part of the stem in your bowl charring. After 6-10 smokes, it goes away as the stem chars more each time the pipe is smoked.
