Passing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
C&D Redburn in a Vauen Royal Lovat #169 and a mug of black coffee.
Love this one here. What a good looking pipe.
Cowboy Coffee in the Imp Sitter and morning coffee
A very hearty Congratulations to you both!
Kicked off the morning with some Oriental Dusk in an M Cinar cherrywood. The dog wouldn't let me relax too long, so had to get up and get breakfast going per her incessant prompting.
Now that i've got her handled, fed and in the house, i'm back out in the lounge (in peace) with an after-breakfast bowl of Old Gowrie in an XL Ahmet Govem commission piece. Relaxing with the rest of the coffee and catching some news. And the best part: no dog pressuring me to get back up. :P

Did a set of walking reps under cloudy, humid skies, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
a few hours ago, this very afternoon had a bowl of Amohora Reds out of this BBB special make Christmas pipe anno 1986 group 4 Lovat shape'
Loving this weather…very warm today. Smoking Escudo Navy de Luxe (2013) in a Nording semi-rusticated billiard.
Changing Jeep back into its winter top and messing about in the garage - time for a break. Peterson 2023 X160 POTY Rua and Warped Scarecrow. 
I hope it works for you. After a little practice, you might be able to tie them on in the dark. My other suggestion would be to pre-tie the flies to a length of tippet and change it out on an old leader, or use bulk tippet and bulk leader and change the entire fly/tippet/leader at the loop. They sell foam spools to keep everything nice and tidy. This time of year here on Long Island we're in the saltwater going for Striped Bass, Bluefish and False Albacore using 3/0-6/0 hooks and 20-25lb leader. I can tie these on wearing mittens in the dark. Best of luck.Thanks! I'll definitely get one . . . . hopefully will work on tiny files. If not, I'll have to go to 12's I guess. Depth perception is my main problem as I've lost my right eye due to a series of strokes about 15 years ago. I usually can "feel" but the tiny eyelets on these flies are nasty for any guy with the fine leader material necessary to pass through the eye of the hook. 2 pound test is about the max, and tying tapered leaders is a pain. Guess that's why very few use 2 or 3 weight rods . . . . Any suggestions on how to change the weather? A trip to Amazon.Ca will be done today to get this neat gizmo (I'm a sucker for neat gizmos).
It's been cold, wet and miserable for quite some time. October is usually a fantastic month up here. I'll simply have to catch-as-catch-can and weather reports are as unreliable as the weather itself lately. At least I can road hunt hares and grouse! If a clear day is in the offing, I'll brave the cold in my zodiac next week however. I don't stray far in lakes anyways. Most fish are caught inshore in the weeds, no farther than 30 feet out from shore for the most part.
Salut!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Jamaica Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink.
I'm continuing to smoke through tobacco i jarred up in 2020 that I completely forgot about. I'm currently smoking some C & D Easy Times from probably 2019 in a Peterson 608. It's fine, I suppose. It'll probably take me another 5 years to finish the jar, but it does seem like one of those blends I'm eventually gonna sorta like.
Thank you. It smokes great with no filter and no adapter.
Damnit, I’m a touch out of square (I still blame the wife for distracting helping). Oh well, it’s minor enough I can work through it, and the only one that’ll notice is me.
Refill with OJKB.
By the way, old Kaywoodies easily survive multiple drops from 12ft or so-at least on dirt
