Re: Getting To Know Each Other
I'm John and I live in Portage Pennsylvania.I am married to a wonderful woman named Cindy.We have four boys, Two of whom still live at home.I'm 44years old and I like reading ,walking and learning more about pipes and tobacco . I started smoking in junior high and quit for a while, then started again a few years back. I guess I've been smoking for about ten or fifteen years all together. I like cobs and low priced briar such as DR. Grabow and medico. guess that's it .

Re: Getting To Know Each Other
Well this thread hasn't seen much attention lately, so I guess it's time to give you folks something to read...
My name is Paul. Born and raised smack in the middle of the Cascade and Olympic mountains of Washington. We have an abundance of water here (not including the infamous RAIN) and beautiful views abound. I grew up backpacking the mountains and rugged ocean coastline, hiking and anything outdoors. Sittling by a campfire with good friends and a dutch oven simmering away can't be beat.
I am 35 and married for 10 years. I haven't ever done anything good enough to deserve my beautiful bride, and I know she has never done anything bad enough to deserve me! We have 2 kids (girl: 11 today; boy: 8) that enjoy swimming very much. My daughter plays the violin. We are all fairly active in our church as well. Our faith is very important to us.
As far as work goes, I have been a drafter/designer since High School and am currently managing a drafting department for a local engineering company. I went to college for photography, but have kept that a hobby.
I have just recently gotten into pipes. I quit chewing tobacco years ago and also kicked nasty cigs quite some time ago as well. Pipes give me calm. There are so many aspects to piping, that you just can't get bored with them.
God bless.

Re: Getting To Know Each Other
I work for a jack-of-all-trades engineering company. We have both a marine (boats) department and a facilities (buildings) department. I personally have experience in architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural, civil, marine, etc. We do a fair amount of shoreline work (marinas, piers, docks). It works well and keeps me fairly interested.
A year and half to retirement, eh? Boy, I wish I was that close. But, you gotta pay your dues I guess.

That's cool, Paul. You and Ted have more in common.

Re: Getting To Know Each Other
well i reckon its my turn. I am on my second and final marriage as well, my wife and I have a total of eight kids between us. I have been a blacksmith for about eight years and a pipe smoker for about two. I still have a lot to learn about both. Its hard to separate the two for me. I love the smell and taste of a good pipe and a coal forge. LIfe truly can't get much better!
