Fortunately I’ve spent this weekend with our Latino friends. Speaking Spanish has helped us blend into the winning crowdHow’s NZ this morning after the rugby, calls for public lynchings yet!

It’s a D6 natural outdoor series. Pretty similar just a shorter shank. You got better eyes than me
Joey Defrancesco was a great musician, I just found out from your post that he passed away.. Joey and Bobby Hutcherson had some phenomenal collaborations. he will be missedI'm still reeling from the sudden death of one of my favorite jazz organists, Joey DeFrancesco. A new cache of samples from @TheIronMonkey should help me get back into a better frame of mind. Digging in today for the first time...
C&D Warped: Saint Espresso in my Savinelli Tortuga 614 bent billiard. Although @JimInks says no dry time needed, I gave it 10-15 minutes, just because I'm a finicky SOB.Lovely blend! It does taste pretty true to its name, although my wife (a coffee snob) took a couple puffs and shook her head as she handed the pipe back to me! But she liked the taste and the room note, so I can't ask for much more than that.
Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, House finch, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Common raven, Mourning dove, Western bluebird, California towhee, California quail, and Hairy woodpecker. Nursing a Moscow mule, and preparing for a great dinner of pasta w/chicken sausage and mushrooms. Summer seems to be conceding to autumn a little early, which is just fine by me. That spells lots of work forthcoming for my Sav Bacco 321, my English blend pipe.

Some Wilke Rumcake in a Wilke Canadian
Enjoyed a tasty Cosmic Crisp apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. No coffee tonight due to the high humidity. Off to work I go.
Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of Watch City Beta Test VBur in a straight smooth brown post-WW2 LHS Purex Superfine 74 Canadian with a metal screw-in tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. First time smoking this pipe. Took me a while to figure out what genre to smoke in it, but I finally realized I needed a "burley" Canadian pipe. Listening to William Conrad as Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke as I work.
Wilke Lizzie Blood Red Virginia in a Nuttens Bing 
Just finished smoking Watch City Mr.B’s in a straight smooth dark brown 1933-40 Medico Frank patent 1967585 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem.
Just got back from a concert of Spiritbox, Mastadon, and Ghost. Now smoking hu night owl in a claw meer.
Been smoking mostly Amphora Burley blend whilst enjoying some countryside.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am nearing the half way mark on this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip.
Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 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 was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Finished work for the day, fed two ferals, and Suzy and Molly. Time to check the forum, and baseball box scores.
Some 2020 G L Pease in savinelli billiard. Very nice. A favourite?
About a third of a bowl left of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth straight brown circa WW2 Trapwell mountain laurel patent apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. That'll end my smoking day.
What happened in the nightmare? (If you’re okay with sharing).
How did you match the threads?
