    I just bought a Dovo "Prima Klang" with a 3" strop from SRD. I know with Christmas presents flying around, it will take a few days to get here. Yet, I'm "kid at Christmas" excited to get it.
    Should I seek professional help?

    I know I've found the right spot. This site is awesome!

I'm 47 and no we ain't old...heck I still listen to loud rock like I was 20 sumpn .Grunge isn't dead and neither is the Beatles so there all you emo kids out there! Welcome home son heh heh .The Blade is Family !!

    Steam,
    Real trains sounds like a cool hobby. What size are they? Are they like the Lionel type or the kind you can ride on? Where are you in CA? My wife is from the North Bay area. I’d love to see the trains sometime.

    John m,
    True dat.

    Night,
    LOL!! I still listen to my music loudly also. It just doesn’t seem as loud to me anymore. (What ya’ say?)

    Hello Scott,
    The Bamboo rod school I went to is JD Wagner Rod Builder. It was great, it was in Sandusky Ohio at a fly fishing club. Beautiful accomodations (gourmet meals, nice room) a trout stream snaked it's way therought the club. We could fish while not in class. Igt was 5 days and you take home the blank ready for urathane and wrapping guides. I had graphite flyriod building experience and this brought it to the next level.

    Dale.

    Chiming in with my 2 cents worth...

    just be grateful your old-cootness is confined to straight razors!
    I'm 46 and seriously into tube radios, film cameras, old coffee percolators, diesel trucks (stick-shift, naturally) etc - and I still listen to hardcore emo/grunge (when there's no one around) played from vinyl through a tube amplifier!

    Be proud of your 'eccentricity'!

    Well, right now it's an '85 Chevy Suburban K10 - automatic transmission but a manual 4x4 with a 6.2L V8 diesel that has absolutely NO electronic controls. In times past, I had a Land Rover Series III diesel for much the same reasons.

    Your taste in Gin is sublime--a dash of olive juice is great too.

    Welcome to the classic way of doing things. You are very sane.

    Steammaker--your taste in pipes is exquisite and you are correct--A martini is always with gin.
