Meerschaum Contest
I've been lurking on the forum for about 3 years. I'm not witty enough to keep up with most of the folks here.
I would like to hold a contest and this is the best I can do.
I purchased an Altinok Meerschaum pipe that is too large for my taste. It is his Lee Van Cleef pipe. I know it is insane. Never been smoked or even placed in my mouth.
My step-son will be heading off to Savannah to go to college. The date is open so I don't even know when it is but the school starts sometime in Jan 2021. So the winner won't be announced until he actually moves out.
Who ever can guess the day he is packed up and leaves the front door will be the winner. Add a time as a tie breaker.

He and his Mom are talking about Nov or Dec time frame. That might be an important bit of info.

I noticed the rules are not clear about one thing. The winner will be whoever is closest to the date. That was in my head when I originally but I never put it into the contest description.
**Example: ** @Diver43 guess will be valid until Dec 6th, on Dec 7th @BKDog is in contention. The ONLY date that needs the tie breaker is Dec 15th so only those times are listed.UPDATE: 2nd load headed to Savannah today, still no idea what date he is looking to actually start living there.
@Diver43 11/30

A long and happy independence, plenty of new girls, newly discovered capabilities, exciting plans, a modest smattering of getting high and feeling low, and a bright future. O, to be young again!
