Today, or should I say early today the Ben Wade pipe I wanted on eBay ended, but I was asleep and it sold for only $35!!! I was pissed about that but my wife and I this past Friday, found this place called Edward's Pipe & Tobacco not too far from us and we each got ourselves a pipe. My wife got a beautiful Meershaum with flowers in the middle and dragon profiles on either side of the bowl and feathers on the shank. It has a church warden stem and she really likes it too. I got myself a Karl Erik, smooth freehand, briar. It's a beautiful pipe and is brand new. My only issue with it is breaking it in is a pain in the neck! I hadn't expected the pipe to bite as much as it did and then the tobacco we purchased was a bit dry and so you get the double whammy bite from the tobacco and the pipe. It's getting better to smoke out of it as the cake builds up inside the bowl but it's still not as pleasant to smoke as my Grandfather's pipe is.
My RSD seems to be under control today, however, I seem to get that lost feeling when I'm driving now. Farmiliar landmarks don't look right or I think I'm going the wrong way or even at the same time I feel like I'm lost, just taking my Son to school or going for groceries. It is troublesome to have these weird feelings while driving. My wife is always talking about how I'm losing my mind, and that maybe, but it's the constant pain I'm in that bugs me out. If I'm losing my mind I'm not aware of it. I'm only aware of what is pointed out to me by my family. Yet, today I'm not feeling that bad and my pain level is bareable. I just wish I was up at 5:30 in the morning to snipe that old Ben Wade, that would've been sweet!
