My other hobby . . .

It shows edited, I thi k you are correct.
 
Many forums don't allow hyperlinks in posts until you have some number of posts (like10), but a way around that is to edit the link in later. No such restriction I know of here, but old habits die hard I suppose.
 
Ah yeah that would do it.

Went to a Renaissance Faire yesterday and acquired a tobacco pipe. It's been fun to noodle around with while outside drinking a homebrew. And there's a whole world of tobacco types and flavors to explore

Ah, tobacco has gotten a bad reputation lately. But, as with everything, moderation is the key. And, probably more flavors available than beers...

Here too Ben. Perhaps less bad than burning tobacco.

A bit a week won't shorten anyone's life, in my uninformed opinion.

Tobacco's bad reputation is very well deserved. I'll try hard to stay off my soapbox on this topic but, "a bad reputation" implies the badness is a matter of opinion and I wanted to throw out some facts from the CDC. The two main facts that stand out are 480,000 smoke related deaths in the U.S. every year and for every one smoking death there are 30 people living with a serious smoking-related illness.

I know this started as a discussion about pipe smoking but, tobacco is tobacco.

Indeed it is. And the reputation is deserved.

It's definitely not the healthiest thing to do, but there are a difference between filling 1 pipe in the evening and enjoying sunset vs chainsmoking 1-2 packs a day. Same with pretty much any "unhealthy" substance, from sugar to beer :D

Not to be all negative, but my Grandfather smoked a pipe.
He died of stomach cancer at age 83.
I always linked the two, rightly, or wrongly...

I know smoking is not good but really only when I'm really stuck do I dare to use tobacco. I know that smoking is harmful but I am also trying not to depend on it.
 
The rewards of a mis spent youth taking crap apart has rewarded me again.

Improved the brewery patio drainage got given some 100mm perforated drainage pipe.

The edge of the patio always gets wet and mushy hopefully this will solve the problem when washing down.
