With A Sword And A Pistol By His Side
Hey all -
Got the bike registered and cleaned up the other day, taking it's condition from "deplorable" to "barely acceptable" in an afternoon. It still needs a thorough detail job and an oil change, but I worked on it for five hours the other day, on the hottest day of the year so far, in the middle of the afternoon - I didn't even think about sunscreen, so now I'm doing a pretty good impression of a lobster without even trying. I'm going to snap some pics and maybe even a riding vid here soon, but we've had a guy out at work and I keep getting called in for OT. The only other notable thing is some supplies for the cellar that arrived today:

Nobody Knows Anything About My Existence
So while we were in Gatlinburg there were several tobacconists I was hoping to visit, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to - this was a family vacation with my parents, and while my wife doesn't care about my pipes, I didn't want to get The Look from my Mom. However, we did make a trip to one of my favorite shops in the area, Smoky Mountain Knife Works. The main reason was that I wanted to pick up a Case Baby Doc to use as a pipe knife. Everyone split up and while I was walking to their Case department, I passed by their Zippo section and saw a very nice Peterson gift set that included a Donegal Rocky #106 and a Zippo lighter with pipe chimney. Since I had budgeted part of my vacation money for a new pipe, and I didn't own a Peterson yet, I decided to pick it up:
...and here is the knife I picked up, a Case Baby Doc with green jigged bone handles:
...anyways, more on my other knife acquisitions in a day or two. I'm also planning on working on the bike in the next week or so, stay tuned.

Every Picture Tells A Story Don't It
