You've got a severe case of tongue burn but a new order from Pipes & Cigars came in the mail and you can't wait to try that new blend you ordered. That's a hardcore pipe smoker.
Man, I thought I was a hard core smoker, but the current weather and mosquito situation has kept me from smoking outdoors - or even in my garage. The heat and humidity is oppressive making it hard to breath. And the mosquitoes in my area are relentless little mutant vampires. One day I came into the house after cleaning the gutters and my face looked like a make-up job that would have frightened even Lon Chaney. Both my eyes as well as lips were swollen, and I had massive lumps on my cheeks and forehead.
Wow @ghostsofpompeii, what part of the country do you live in? I'm in New Hampshire within a 1,000 feet of 2 swamps and as long as we stay inside until 1/2 hour after dusk we're good to go.
Got your location from another post. We have some friends moving to Indiana, I'll warn them!
I was just being a wise-ass ... Gary is still a Hellhole. The downtown looks like the scene from one of those post-apocalypse movies with boarded up store fronts and crumbling buildings. Entire blocks have abandon or burned-out houses. The only thing it doesn't have is homeless people living in tent cities throughout town like parts of California. Our homeless are smart enough to keep off the streets at night.
@opipeman suggested. But by the time I retired from the Mill in 2004 the air pollution was greatly improved. The old timers used to say that as long as the sky over the Mill was orange it meant we were making money.
Living in Chicagoland, I have smoked in freezing and way too hot weather. That is just comfort. I am much more concerned about smoking after turning a tamper. I use good dust collection, then I sit and smoke for half an hour or more, breathing the wood dust.
@ghostsofpompeii One quick search i find that Gary, IN had earned the title of the most miserable city in the United States.
"Gary, Indiana was once a mecca for America's steel industry in the 1960s. But half a century later, it has become a desolate ghost town. Its declining population and abandoned buildings have lent it the title of the most miserable city in the United States."
So why not move to a nicer place to live out your golden retirement?

Hardcore AND handy 😀
Guilty as charged.

Only time I passed through Gary IN it reminded me of Mordor, but that was years ago; it may have changed. (No offense, @ghostsofpompeii)
I always thought the orange glow was the 🔥 of Mount Doom.
Does the fan work?
The fan works well enough to keep my wife off of my back.
No, I meant, what happened that the preceding post blanked.See above….
I realize that. I was being a smart-ass, sorry. Blank/nothing same-o, same-o?
That is hardcore!
I’ve almost got you, 104 the other day, and maybe 10-20 below….I (might-who knows but Him?) still have a few years to catch up though😉
