Hello from Germany and pipe collection

[baronsamedi]

I did like 90 from El Paso to Dallas once and I seriously thought I was losing my mind. Nothing but the same flat land forever. You'll feel like you're in the Twilight Zone.

Greetings from Indonesia Eddy!
Nice pipes! Let me know if you had any plans to come to my part of the world

Good morning everyone and thanks again for the kind welcome!! Especially your barbecue (that's no barbecue, that's the best looking piece of meat I have ever seen), off road driving and high power (!!) rifle shooting offer is great. Would love to do that. You are very kind everyone. That's what I had learned in my two-week-visit some years ago already: most of the Americans are so unbelievably helpful and friendly!

Oh eddy..
What we called "barbecue" in Europe is really grilling.
Barbeque: low temperature, slow cooking, usually with smoke, long time, vender tender meat

Grilling: high heat, shorter periods of time.
My pork shoulders goes in my smoker for 18 hours, my brisket (beef like the pic from Lonestar) 8 hours

El Paso to Dallas

I was just about to mention that drive. It's horrible. What's even worse is when you drive from Dallas to El Paso...because, you know, you're in El Paso

:rofl:
If we do the gun thing, I'll bring my AK and we can pulverize some watermelons.

 

[lonestar]

because, you know, you're in El Paso

That used to be alright until Jaurez turned into a War Zone.

Uno mas cerveza por favor senorita.

I'll bring a Saiga 12 and we can pulverize washing machines... :D

 

[kamikazesasquatch]

My friend has a Saiga. I think the thing you're most likely to pulverize is your shoulder

Right now this is the pride of my collection (on the rifle side anyway):

Edit: that pic was taken before I got the BUIS on there.

My Saigas nickname is "The Tenderizer"
