G.H. Kendall Flake in a Ropp Etudiant J04 Hourglass.
Long hot humid day, Country Squire Old Toby in a MM Mark Twain on the way home with the air conditioning blasting. Bowl burned fast but I was too hot to care ... cost of surviving the heat and humidity. Praying for some snow or hail ? I live in hope ... I don't function happily over 85 degrees and high humidity. Had to run an errand on the way home and drove along a straight road for about 2 miles ... the temp went from 92 degrees to 84 degrees ... why ? Trees !!! I drove into the heavily wooded suburbs. That is a sound argument for conservation alone.
GH & Co. dark birdseye vintage cut in a Rossi 8111.
GH Brown twist in a Charatan. Nitro iced coffee on the side.
Hump day smoke. One of my favs. Still smoking a lot of KBV. Fireside chat in Sav 626

As promised for @Richmond B. Funkenhouser and @telescopes some extra pics of the pipe.
This front side is where it has a really interesting blast pattern.

This one goes out to Pi’i our Pomchi of 14 years that passed Sunday July 31st. Her name is pronounced as the saying the letter P then saying an E.
Here’s a recent pic of Pi’i, only taken a few months ago. Notice her back foot? They look like little rabbit feet to me, so funny.

We still have a critter, a Green Cheek Conure, BeBe, she’s 10. Just a little while back, they were both next to me in the kitchen, begging me for food.

In the gloom of the past few days, and a grown man blubbering like a baby, I forgot about BeBe, and told her I was sorry. She was also the past few days whimpering and crying too. She’s smarter than any dog I’ve known, and she seems to realize Pi’i is gone.
Be well everyone!
P.S. @ashdigger my McLardy Meer, will be my Pi’i pipe, it’s small like Pi’i was and like the same color. I was smoking it Monday and tried to login, to toast for her then, but the forum was down.
So here’s the Pi’i Pipe!

Gawith Hoggarth and Company Rum Flake in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with a small scoop of double chocolate ice cream for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Dodgers-Giants game as I clean a few pipes.
Troutstream in a MM Missouri Pride. I like this version of the cobs. Big enough bowl for a leisurely 40 min smoke. I don't use the filter. It diminishes the tobacco's flavor too much.
Derringer bulk in a Dr Grabow Royal Duke apple with a nylon stem. Great combo. Bourbon.
Got rained out on a photo shoot with my Pentax H3v with35mm f3.5 SMC lens. I'm trying Ilford FP4 since we have such intense sunlight here in Arizona, but not today!

About a third of the way through a bowl of Windjammer in a Jack Howell lovat 
What kind of photos were you planning on taking?
