@vtgrad2003; a gift from God. Dammit, I'm an old man, cut me some slack. I used to be able to spell, which is the least of the things I used to be able to do, that I miss now.
Hey guys! It's been so long ya'll have probably forgotten me at this point lol. I apologize for that. I dropped off due to a bunch of things that happened with my family. I had a line of duty injury due to a fight that put me out of work for over a month and on light duty for another 8 months. Then my wife had a seizure and quit breathing and lost pulse. Ended up doing CPR on her. after a week in the hospital it was determined that she had spinal meningitis and now has epilepsy due to her previous brain bleed several years back. But thank the good Lord she is back healthy and we now have another little girl. So having an almost 3 year old daughter and one that just turned one has taken up all my other time. All that being said I haven't had a pipe in almost two years due to all that. All that being said I've been very burned out here recently and realized I need to carve some time out to take care of my self as well and do things that I like. So I lit a pipe up for the first time last night and it reminded me how much I've missed the conversations with you guys. So I'm back as much as I can be and look forward to catching up with those who remember me and making new friends with all the new members I'm sure we have by now. I hope you are all well and had a great Thanksgiving!
Welcome back Michael.......I too have been mostly absent here. 3.5 years with the "big C" so most of my days are spent at a doctors ofice getting chemo, or getting tested or xrayed. Not exacxtly sure where this is going, but I have an idea. My wife fell and broke her hip in the beginning of the summer. She had to have rods and screws in the upper lag and she was hurting. She is my care taker, and I am hers' so it has ben a bit tough.But it is amazing what you can do when when you have to. I will add you and your wife to my prayer intentions. Stay healthey and stay positive. ALL will be fine.
GREAT to hear from you @Michael308 I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say please check in more often. We've missed you... @pwkarch Hope situations continue to allow you more time here @ TPL. We all have missed you also...
@Michael308, @pwkarch; You have been missed. I'll add both of you and your brides to my nightly prayer list. Seems like a bowl or two makes life a little easier, so try to keep puffing and stay in touch.

This is true. Our lives are very short and we will all have our time. No escaping that.
1. Every day is a holiday.
2. Every meal is a banquet.
3. Every piece of ass is a gift fro God.

I can vouch for that...

Great moments! 😄
Good to see you active again @thebadgerpiper 😊
By the way, I think you posted that pic on the wrong thread. Shouldn't you have posted it under "other hobbies"?🤔😏
Seems like he was just born. Man they do grow up fast.
It does look like he is having a fun time. It’s a great picture🙂.

I don’t remember if you were around at the time, but @Motie2 got tired of the banter here and decided not to participate here any longer 🙁
