Watering my grass & clover sprouts (a sure sign I’m getting old) while smoking PS 52 in a Stanwell bent billiard, followed by Westminster in a cob. Cobs ain’t much to look at, but they smoke better than many $100 briars, and I’m not scared to drop or burn it.

That is a beautiful Meer. If I've seen it before, I don't remember it. I think your greenhouse solution is masterful -- wish I had one!

Thank you! Don’t own a lot of Meerschaum pipes. But, this one is my favorite.
The greenhouse is always a good wind break smoking area. If there is any sunshine, then I can enjoy warmer temperatures as well.

Being lazy today before attacking some jobs this weekend, the week’s work adventures flared up some old tendinitis issues, but someone felt compelled to give jackhammer and concrete finishing lessons (again).

I struggle with tendinitis in my elbows when I overdo a repetitive grip type motion. I bet a jackhammer would definitely aggravate the condition. I use DMSO to help reduce inflammation. I hope it heals quickly.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a medium bend black sandblasted 1925 Dunhill double patent “Shell” 56/10 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 FVF in a 2002 three quarter bend light brown sandblasted Ardor Urano Fatta A Mano eight sided paneled shaped bulldog sitter with a black acrylic saddle stem.

PS52 in My Randy Wiley Galleon Bent Dublin 55, while playing Splendor with some of the kids.

Amazing how different blends taste when you switch pipe shapes and size. PS52>Westminster in this 1” wide bowl.

My knowledge of the fiddle is limited to my appreciation of Celt folk punk, and what the nuns at StMark’s in Indy tried to instill in me as a fourth-grade recalcitrant student.
But that is some masterful fiddlin’!

It sure is! Believe me, in my distant past, I talked to my my fiddle waaayyyy more than I do my my pipes now!! A model, or a template, is still a must! And the composer of this kind of stuff is always the best model!

As is the help we aspirants glean from members of this forum! Thanks!
