Title: Alembic tire ashtray
Post by: gearhed289 on June 02, 2023, 10:09:11 AM
I've had this for a while, but never thought to share, so here you go.  8) This ashtray has been in my family since at least the early 70s. My dad was an auto mechanic at various Ford dealerships, and he used to bring home all kinds of cool swag. I had plenty of WYNN'S, STP, etc. stickers and patches for my jean jacket. I recently got the ashtray from one of my sisters who had been taking care of it. The graphics on the bottom of the glass were almost completely worn off, so I finished the job. Then I saw it sitting by some Alembic stickers I had and decided to tape one to the bottom. Looks great! I just don't have the heart to cash my bowl on that beautiful logo.  ;D

I have one of these alembic stickers covering the Apple logo on the back of my laptop. I also had one on the rear window of my previous car that i sold recently. However haven't got one for my current car yet.

agreed.  that would be tantamount to sacrilege, sir.   might i suggest vaping your flower?  at castle BeenDown we keep 3 Pax-3's loaded at all times.  no combustion.  no muss, no fuss.  i save up the dregs to throw on a hot bed of embers for my neighbor's benefit.

this is how we manage our intoxicants here in the mile high:

I've had an original Pax for years.  Great little vape, about the most convenient one I've encountered.

Bill, tgo

Logo sticker on my 20 year-old Outlander... one of the finest automobiles ever built. Wish I had bought two of them.

Jazzy - I've been meaning to do that on my iMac.  ;D
Thanks hankster, I got lucky!
Oh, and Tim, vaping is OK, but I prefer the old method. Nice spice rack!

before i forget my manners, awesome ashtray!  don't do like i did with my mom's prize ashtry (in 1975) and let it vibrate off the top of your sear & roebuck silvertone bass amp while your stoner homies are over for a jam session in the basement.

if i smoked the way i vaped my lungs would look like a 75-year-old career coal miner's. 

i finally realized about 2 weeks ago that since pot is legal in these parts i don't have to hide my stash from my parents any more.  so i got a bunch of salt shakers, put 'em in a spice rack by the coffee pot and i keep about 12 1/8 oz strains around to keep things fresh.  just hit life flower yesterday and got some 37.5% THC elephant tranquilizer.  like getting hit in the back of the head with a sock with rocks in it i'm-a-telling-you!
