    I see you have a place to store your lunch and "stupid exercise equipment". Very nice. Nice shop.

    What a sweet set up. It looks like a resort in your own backyard. Not to drift but, I notice you smoke like me. Have you ever looked into making your own? I've done it for about 10 years. It comes out to about 12 bucks a carton. Talked to my sister the other day and she's paying about $80 for a carton in Iowa.

    Yes...I think regulations have been lifted on internet sales of loose tobacco. We're looking into it. I have cut down considerably in the last 2 years---down to half a pack currently. 3-4yrs ago I was smoking 2 1/2 packs a day.

    I smoked for 40 years, all I got out of it was COPD and a Widowmaker heart attack.

    Keep smoking, you can be like me.

    Smoked cigarettes from about age 16 until I was 21. Quit cold turkey and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    For less than the cost of a carton you can get this. I just buy my tobacco locally which is labeled pipe tobacco without the cigarette tax. This brand is the same flavor as Marlboro Lights. Cigarette tobacco in my state is twice the cost. Just an idea to save ya some money.5gls4oaibm4y.jpg

    45 years for me. No COPD yet thankfully, but got the widowmaker, and quad bypass. If I can quit, anyone can.

    Not mine, but this was posted by the Associate Director of the Mass Audubon facility at Joppa Flats. They're closed, he's working from home, and he has a game cam out by his birdfeeder -- and it's that time of year.

    Ken, the powermatic 1 or 2 is a slightly better machine. It's non-electric but rolls quicker and tighter with far far fewer irregularities.
