Looking forward to hearing Brian Levine present tonight at our virtual Pipe Club meeting. It will be the same exact log in as our past Zoom meetings (below). Can't wait to see you all tonight at 7:30 CDT. ----
Enjoying tonight's VTPL is an understatement! Brian was most fascinating and very informative. Tnx @jfreedy for lining up this evening's guest speaker (and the video bomber)😏
Great seeing everyone last night. Brian Levine did a great job presenting on Disney pipes and tobacciana. We got to hear some playful banter between Brian and two Stokkebyes (Max and his dad). And finally, we were graced with a video bomb by The Country Squire Radio's own Beau York. He had to come on and give Brian a hard time. If you've not been to one of these virtual pipe club meetings you really should. Always interesting conversation and a great time smoking a bowl with friends. Here's the link to the video. Enjoy!
Also, our Canadian brother of the briar provided us with the Audio only version of last night since my connection crashed and there's a big content hole in the middle of the recorded video. This would be better to listen to while traveling, working out, etc. Enjoy!
Had a great time chatting with everyone last night. We discussed ways we could get more folks to join the fun. If you have any concerns about the technoloqy or how to join in please reach out to me. I’m happy to talk you through it.
Also, we discussed why @PappyJoe hasn’t graced us with his presence yet! Joe?
Last, and very important announcement, Country Squire Radio’s own BeauYork will be our guest presenter next Friday. Can’t wait to hang out, smoke a bowl and talk with Beau. This would be a great week to join us!
@jfreedy Bad timing for the meetings for me. Friday's is the night when the wife and I would go out to dinner or go out of town and it has evolved into a tv night where if we're home we sit and watch tv together. I like you guys, but our marriage is going on 45 years so I don't want to change the routine.
Once the series we've been watching goes into reruns, I may join you for a meeting.
@jfreedy sorry I missed this past Friday. For the last 20 years Friday evening had also been date/dinner/family time for me as well. However, I will attend our club but probably not every week.
Thanks so much...............I paused the last meeting and when I went back to it (just a few minutes ago) the program told me I needed to have mp3 or mp4 downloaded (I forget which one). Is there anymore prep that I need to do?
Haven't embraced the technology needed to participate. Don't own a cell phone, have a web cam, or for that matter, even have a Facebook account. Up until the time the powers that be at Yahoo Groups revamped things - taking down the main pages and making it an email only operation - they were my only on-line source for group forums. Now the only regular site I visit is right here at The Pipeline.
I watch YouTube videos on my SmartTV or occasionally on the computer. But other than that I'm not into technology. I don't upload or download for fear of getting a virus. I occasionally stream something off NetFlix and watch a ton of YouTube videos ... but for the most part I still collect physical media as my main source for watching movies or TV series, and have amassed quite a collection of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays along the way.
I'm an analog guy living in a digital world, and probably a bit too private for my own good - and would prefer living off the grid ... but have accepted the reality that to do so is damn near impossible, so I've scaled back as much as possible.
I guarantee you I won't be buying one of the Alexia gadgets that answers your questions, turns on your lights, listens to your conversations, and supposedly fulfills your daily needs like a private secretary or personal assistant. Big Brother is already invading a good portion of our lives. I'm not paying for the equipment to make the job easier for them.
@ghostsofpompeii How about this one? Some banks are now offering online transactions using Alexia! Needless to say, I don't think either one of us will be doing that.!.!. 😱
@ghostsofpompeii - you could always just call in on your phone (regular or cell) and watch on your computer via the Zoom web browser option (doesn’t require you downloading an app). Or... just call in and listen. Tomorrow, I’ll list the phone numbers along with the regular way to log on in this thread. It’s worth a try!
Just as a reminder... we have the honor of having BeauYork, Country Squire Radio, as our guest this Friday evening. He will be sharing some behind-the-scenes stories and how they got started with CountrySquireRadio as well as how the pipe community has responded to the show. A great night to check out the virtual pipe club.

Congrats on 45 years! That said, we’d love to have you join us anytime.
When that happens, close Zoom and start over.
