Really nice contrasting textures. Are these pipes ever put to use or are they just for display?

I had a tape stuck in an old VCR and I had to take the VCR apart to get it out. I was enjoying myself, so I kept going, dis-assembling the VCR as far as I could, back down into original component pieces, which I have kept in a cardboard box in my closet and have no idea why. I plan, vaguely, to build a robot or something someday.

VCRs are great for that. I picked this one up off the curb in front of my neighbor's house last night. It was a TV/VCR combo that was dead. I quickly checked the fuses, but they were fine. Didn't feel like trying to figure out what was wrong with it, because it's a piece of junk. Maybe the power switch. Anyway, I got two good motors, and this one motor that had to come apart to remove. I also got a nice red LED. A cheap speaker. Some RCA connectors. Etc. Don't know what I'm going to do with them. Maybe make a robot. I've got a cabinet in the basement with a bunch of motors from stuff I've taken apart over the years. I might see if I can somehow isolate the power supply from this thing. That would be cool.

I smoke a couple of times a week. Pipes, cigars, tobacco and their history are a hobby for me more than smoking is.

I have a pretty decent English tobacco collection, around forty pipes and not too many cigars in an igloodor.
