I have been preoccupied since coming home.

I had OJK in the GBD pot and Picayune in the Silver Duke and never posted them.

I am heading to bed.

Just finished modifying a MM Pony Express including chamber bore, longer stem and nickel band. The larger Pony Express Cobs are the equivalent of a smaller Country Gentleman and make a wonderful pipe. I have to use the 3/4" Rotary Burr in reverse as it is single cut and too aggressive otherwise. Pipe has now been honey coated and will be placed in service tomorrow.

Last pipe of the evening and then off to bed . . . SPMT Mix . . . MM Pony Express . . . Diet Soda.

I think someone needs to actually run their brylon through a dishwasher cycle and report back on the validity of this claim.

How is that honey coating process? Just rub a bit of honey inside the bowl? Anything else?

Same pipe, but this time loaded with Mark Twain Memoir...which seems to be a bit like SWRA. And I like it! :D

I know B_R was waiting for the people at .gov to sign off on a hazmat permit, maybe it came through.
