Now what do you have in the barn?
I really like the paneling also. You'll know that. Knotty pine?......ted |
Well, a bunch of junk pipes in the barn -- maybe not junk, but they aren't Dr. Grabows, so I consider them junk. They are everywhere -- results of multi-pipe deals that inlcuded the ONE Grabow I was after. One of these days I'll do something with them. Too much trouble to sell on eBay, so who knows, might have to gift some to OS. I'd trade several of them for OS's nekked lady Grabow and throw in a large just recently opened tin of vintage COUNTRY DOCTOR tobacco, which is a good substitute for Mixture No. 79 in a pinch.
I DO know that, and I love wood, too, TED, but I am ashamed to say that I don't know one wood from another. It is very thick paneling that was already installed in the house -- and was one of only two rooms in the house that escaped vandalism. Long story about that, but the house was abandoned and sat vacant for a couple of years before we got it. I first made the room into a large bedroom for one of my daughters, and she had wanted TO PAINT THE WALLS. I'd have none of that! Anyway, I had thought in might be cedar at first, but it probably is just notty pine. --RJ-- |

The security is primitive, but effective. Cat gets underfoot and squeals when you step on it, which in turn wakes up the Boston Terrior and it has an excrutiatingly painful yelp/bark that wakes me up (as well as everyone within two miles). I have a nice assortment of guns in another collection, at the ready loaded for bear -- or pipe thieves. System has worked fairly well so far . . . --RJ-- |

Yeah, gets COLD a couple of days out of the year -- just never know which two days it will be.
I am pretty sure you won't need a coat, though. If you insist of wearing a coat, it'll be checked at the door -- especially when you leave . . . --RJ-- |

Donations to fill in those blank spots are cheerfully accepted! Actually, those empty spaces will fill in fairly quickly, even though my acquisitions have slowed down considerably.

Are you kidding?! SHE'S the one that bought me my first pipe! There's one thing you should never do -- but an alcoholic a drink or, in my case, buy a pipe addict a pipe! All kidding aside, she has been quite tolerant of my inexplicable passion for Dr. Grabows, though, as I acquire new pipes and related articles for what I affectionately refer to as my "Dr. Grabow Pipe Museum". --RJ-- |

Not really a whole lot different from NC....at least the part I stayed in for 10 years.
