Continuing the easygoing aromatic theme for today, it's Gawith Hoggarth Bob's Chocolate Flake in the Morgan Bones Milan tonight!
@Servant King , Happy Birthday! Hope it was a great one!
Very cool pipe, glad you’re having a good day!Had my b-day smoke in my b-day pipe (maiden voyage), Peterson Flake in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bent bulldog. Very low-key b-day, but that's my style anyway. Plus, it's Pesach, so I'm enjoying some nice smoked whitefish and homemade matzah tonight. Anyway, good smoke today. 8.3/10
Bird report: House finch, California scrub-jay, Mountain chickadee, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco (as soon as it cooled down, they came back), American crow, Common raven, White-crowned sparrow, and a yellow house finch which, according to the local octogenarian ornithologist (how's that for alliteration?), is a recessive gene in the species that causes the head and breast to come out yellow in lieu of the usual red. Seen a lot of them this year so far.
@PaulRVA thank you for the b-day wishes! I'll try to keep the bird reports coming, but they could go on strike at a moment's notice...
@Sobrbiker ditto, and additionally, thanks for the great equine photos! Wifey compliments their appearance and demeanor...they look like Clydesdales compared to our 15 hand mustang!

Now smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
We let Tomato the Brave in to eat after midnight, and he stayed for a short while. And, his second bow tie collar is missing. He had it on early today, but he had been gone most of the afternoon and all of the evening, so it must have been taken off him during that time. I'm sure you folks know what I am thinking right now.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Working and listening to The Challenge of the Yukon from my radio collection.
Enjoyed a tasty snap dragon apple, and am smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Fed my cats, Daisy the Feral Princess, and Tomato the Brave. Still have things to do before bed time.
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with an unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. Got a lot done since my last, except for reading baseball box scores. I'll do that when I wake up later this day. Going to finish a couple of other things that I need to do. I may end the day with his smoke.
