Goodbye Little Buddie

[That Guy]

My work pipe is no more. I carelessly put it on the bench seat of my golf cart and it fell off. I'm blind as a bat so the black case blended right into the parking lot. After realizing it's not in my truck I back up to the shop and hear the crunch and instantly knew. You served me well little buddy. You will be missed.

RIP, we’ll take it from here!

 

[Streeper541]

Oh no! ?

You have my condolences. I frequently leave my meers on the kitchen island, uncased. If one of the cats flick a meer onto the hardwood floor in the middle of the night, it's my own damned fault. Maybe your tragic photos have scared me straight.

Man, that sucks. Got a replacement picked out yet?

There needs to be a time of mourning first. That one was coloring so good ?

 

[Simmerdown☕️]

Sorry for your loss. But, hey now if you needed an excuse to buy yet another pipe…there you go. ?️

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

That sucks but now you get to enjoy smoking another and watching the coloring progression.

I've read that internet pipe repair pros recommend JB Weld...

Totally agree. I'd wait at least 6-12 hours. Take some time to reflect on the good times together.

My condolences on your loss...

Italians have a saying, “a death and a life” New Pipe on the horizon!

 

[hawky454]

Yeah, sorry for your loss man.

I remember we had some friends over to my in-laws lake house many years ago. My brother and his wife brought their dog. The first thing that fucking dog did was get up on the counter and chew up my father in-laws Meerschaum pipe… it just made me sick. He was very cool about it but I could tell it broke a tiny piece of his heart. He refused to let me replace it or pay him for it.

I can hear the sounds of taps as we sit in a moment of prayer for your loss.

That's the risk with truck and car pipes, and travel pipes. You have the photos to remember it. And it came with its own little coffin for a proper burial.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Oh crap!

 

[mortonbriar]

It is obviously a nice pipe, but what really hurts is the beautiful patina you had built up and now its all for naught!!!!
Sigh...

 

[Spa32]

That sucks. I can see that pipe was well smoked and loved. You'll find another one to enjoy in due time.

 

[mikethompson]

This too shall pass.

As someone once said to me, the memories you make with the thing are far more important than the thing itself.

 

[captpat]

Oh no, hopefully, you can find a suitable replacement to enjoy.
