Welcome to Country Squire Radio. I'm Bo. And I'm John David.

J.D. Hey, Bo. Good morning. Man, good morning. How are you doing this? I'm good. I'm doing good. We had a couple days of spring and then Old Man Winter reared his head again. Yeah. I'm kind of angry about it, to be honest with you. Dude, I'm right there with you. I actually, this morning I was trying to create a winter is coming again, but couldn't get it all together before we went live. That's all right. It's a little frigid here, but I know the rest of America is too. Oh, yeah. No doubt, Yeah, other parts of the world as well. It's just been a wacky, wacky year for weather. Global warming is weird, man. Yeah. This does crazy things. Yep. I want to thank you for tuning in to Country Squire Radio, your number one pipe podcast. We want to thank you so much for being with us as we have gone through episode after episode with you guys. This last past one was so great. We had a great time. I mean, we just got a one more time.

Yes, sir. Which means tomorrow's Ash Wednesday. That's right. Get it all out of your system right now. This year for Lent, are you giving up anything? I am still, I am, but I'm still vacillating between a couple of options.

And I will reveal those after I decide. Not much more time to it. There's not much more time. There's not much more time. I've been planning for a while. I'm going to do meat. I'm going to give up meat. Wow, that's a big deal. I'm giving up beef and chicken. Okay. Okay. But I'll, if I can, my kind of one caveat is if I catch fish, then I eat fish.

If you catch them, you'll eat them. If I catch them on me. But if you don't, then I won't eat it. Then you just won't eat it. That's right. Wow. So I'm going to get myself a little turf and turf tonight. Get to fishing, dude. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Last year was chocolate for me. A lot of, you know, just real, real typical thing. Last year was actually the first year I ever did Lent. That's a great practice. Yeah, it was very, very,

very powerful for me personally. I was very skeptical of it until I kind of had a better understanding

of what it was. I didn't want to participate in it just to just to do it because everyone else was.

But yeah, it was pretty powerful. do it because everyone else was but um yeah it was pretty

powerful and it made me very apparent of how often I eat chocolate yeah because I thought oh it'd be

you know kind of starting out new won't be that difficult and it was very hard yeah look I know

exactly what you're talking about man well if you're tuning in and you are a planning on giving up

your pipe for uh for lent we uh we feel for you yeah uh you probably you're tuning in and you are a planning on giving up your pipe for, for Lent, we feel for you. Yeah. You probably aren't tuning in because you probably don't want to listen to us over the next 40 days because we will not help you. I mean, if anything, we'll make you suffer a little bit. A little bit more. So, yeah. Boy, that would be terrible.

Just terrible.

Absolutely.

So, J.D., man, we've got a fun topic to talk about today that was actually a recommendation

from one of our listeners.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, we've actually discussed the pipe upkeep, but it was our second episode a long,

long time ago.

That's right.
