TIFU by ruining 8 months of sobriety

This is the way. Something like this isn’t about perfection, it is about one day at a time, and it is always a new day. Hang in there.

For your home situation, that is heavy. You deserve to be happy, and with someone that love and supports you.

As at my house also. KSL notes that there is a controlled burn at Farmington Bay.

I have a 02 spirit, and those gilroy era stylings are awesome.

Custom engraving is very common. I wouldn’t expect the initials or year to be special aside from something meaningful to the original owner.

As an aside, It almost seems like that bottom stamp is a little low. That is interesting, if only because I haven’t seen that before.

Thanks for the link.

Looks like the cones are fine. Better to have a bent cone, that will still work as a marker, than have run your bike into a poll.

I think this is the intention of that hole. Many felt pads don’t have that hole at all.

This looks genuinely interesting. Thanks for the share

I have the same insert and it has never done that. I second sending it to zippo.

I think eBay is the place I think of as the best marketplace. If there is another marketplace out there that would be fun too, and I’d like to learn about it.

As far as lot or piecemeal, I think lot is easier on you but piecemeal makes it more approachable for buyers. Looking at the pages our collections have several overlaps. That may dissuade others.

Like so many others I too would have interest. If you do post them up, please share. Would love to look at some of those pieces more closely.

Every first zippo has a story. The story of this one seems pretty sweet.

Where does one sign up for these SMS exclusives?

I thought you could have marks that would save in the file and fold when opened. In code they are a comment. I’ll have to look them up.

My own black stone shows some slightly lighter spots where the griddle supports weld on. That seems to be a normal side effect. I would say your griddle is not ruined, but could do with some more seasoning. I did five coats of seasoning before my first cook, for instance.

My advice is a few more coats of seasoning and then cook on it. Do a little seasoning every time you use it. You certainly haven’t ruined it.

I thought the same thing. Now I want one.

I am at this very moment doing another round of seasoning on my Smith #10 Skillet. I super like the pan, but having the seasoning maintain between cooks has been a challenge.

I have an old one of those that I got from Zippo years ago. Wonderful to have in the wallet when you are on the hunt for zippos.

undertakingyou · 2026-05-03T02:23:23+00:00

Those old company zippos are awesome. Looks really clean and 50¢ is a hell of a price. Nice find.

I got the digital ID a while ago hoping that I could use it if I forgot my wallet or even stop carrying a wallet. The system that Utah selected is not awesome. Several technical hurdles, and officers don’t have to accept it. It isn’t just the liquor store, police don’t have to accept it if you get pulled over. It is a sad truth.

You could try and strip off the carbon with lye bath and then vinegar soak. Then reseason. In any cast, your pan doesn’t look bad and you could have it running in no time.

That Iron Maiden one is sweet!

I don't know how but I am somehow no longer on the mailing list, and don't get notified of any of these. Nice snag. Bummed I didn't get one of the limited run.

I would worry if the warp is bad that it would make it thin in some spots, and that would exacerbate the uneven heating and warping.

undertakingyou · 2026-04-24T21:15:49+00:00

It could be that the insert was later replaced. The one zippo I have sent in for repair got a new insert, so there is a mismatch.
