Got a little more framing done today.

Ampersand flake in a Canadian Cumberland while I contemplate next steps.

Another bowl of Kajun Kake in the Peterson Derry 69 I posted earlier. Don't worry, I let it cool off and swabbed it out with a pipe cleaner between bowls.

It's my birthday!

Happy birthday my good man! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

JM Private Stock in a Color Duke. I’ve had this jarred a couple years. I wasnt too impressed when I first got it, and I’m still not too impressed. Not bad, but i doubt I’d buy it again.
Out in the shop teaching myself a little bit about turning wood, I don’t think I’ve got the proportions of a classic lovat quite figured out…

Passing the last third of this bowl of Briarworks Smokehouse in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Have the review mostly written except for deciding on a couple of details.

It's my birthday! I took the day off cause I just needed it and while I expected to spend the day farting around and smoking pipes other plans happened. An excellent birthday though.

Anyhow I'm wrapping up my day with my old faithful blend, GLP Cumberland in a full bent Peterson. Finally seeing some warmer weather so I'll be breaking out and breaking in some new pipes.

Happy birthday!

Yesterday, no chance to post, but first was the burly, thick-walled, smooth, bent brandy with saddle stem by Karl Erik, smoking SPC Plum Pudding BBA.

 

[BurleyVonPuffington]

Next, I had a big bowl of Peter Heinrichs English blend in the eagle claw and egg meer.

 

[BurleyVonPuffington]

Today, 24 hour rule observed, I had another bowl of the SPC Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged in the Karl Erik slightly bent brandy with saddle stem.

Next, I had some Mac Baren dark twist roll cake slices in an hourglass MM cob.

Then, I had some Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey in a 2019 Nording Hunter White Rhino bent paneled apple with short saddle stem.

Nice! No steak?! :P

No steak. Wedge salad was dinner, with lots of bacon.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of Briarworks Smokehouse in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Not a hard blend to review. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. I went outside and saw the possum again. It was slow in walking away from me, so it's not too afraid of me. It went inside one of the cat houses. This time I got a photo of it. At the same time, Tomato the Brave was chasing Harry the Hairy off the deck. He used to be very afraid of Harry, but not anymore. Harry came back, and Tomato was waiting for him. I let Harry in the house for the sake of peace. Harry appreciated that because after he ate, he jumped on my lap for a few minutes for attention.

Great pipe, great story! I've never seen an Opossum in real life. Just in books, mostly storybooks with animation type drawing. And I like the photo - there he is, very clear but very visible.

Now you ain't planning on roasting him with 'taters, are you?? (Just kidding - I know you'd never even think of this. So I did it for you. )
