Dude, that sucks. It's always a sad thing, when you have so many good times, thanks to it. For some reason you always build up a kind of spiritual (well okay, materialistic) connection to all nice pieces. I hope I never break my pipe... I love it. Soon I'm gonna see if I can get a real nice artsy steamroller. But I don't think I'll ever retire my first pipe... unless it gets broken. I always keep good care of it.
