Sorry to be late with my CONGRATULATIONS! I am a Papa to 4 grandchildren now. They are wonderful!

I just wanted to share a quote to the group: Grandchildren fill a place in your heart you never knew was empty. (author unknown)

-Doc
Thank you, sir! And congrats on having 4 of your own! The quote is spot on.

This is a celebratory smoke, gents! C&D Carolina Red Flake24 in a 1945-47 Peterson Pot (Shape 207). I’ve been working on restoring this one. Still have some work to do but I wanted to take it for a stroll.

The cause for celebration? I became a grandfather last night! 8lb 15oz baby boy! Both mom and baby are doing great and healthy as can be. View attachment 350588View attachment 350589
Congrats on being a grandfather! 🎉

Half way through this bowl of pre-2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Just fed all of the ferals, and Sleepy Suzy, too. Molly Danger's already eaten.

Good morning, I’m smoking a 2 year old home mix of 3 Sails, C&D White Burley and PS 313 Oriental, originally blended as a RYO. CC coffee black is the drink. My iPhone still refuses to autocorrect the word Oriental. I hate how software can be influenced by idiots. As if I don’t know that the word Oriental shouldn’t be used when denoting a person… I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Haha, anyway I hope everyone has a good day.

Amen to your sentiments. One thing I've learned is to not even engage the crusading , judging idiots !

A poetic gem, indeed. I love this line:

"No less than 250 trees and 37 tombstones were blown down at Balgay."

That has to be the worst bit of scansion I have ever encountered in my entire life of reading and composing verse. Even for McGonagall, that's really ingenious.

Take comfort then, dear SmokeyJock,
That you shall probably not suffer such a terrible shock,
Though the Storm Fiend sends his blasts once more upon Bonnie Dundee,
And do not venture on the Tay in a boat, because Worse Things Happen At Sea.

If you stay safe indoors, I have no doubt,
That if you avoid the leak, your pipe will not go out.

:)

You're welcome.
