Posted in the wrong thread earlier. Had McClelland Frog Morton’s Cellar (a gift from my friend, Chris) in the same Altinok Meerschaum Squat Rhodesian.

A pair of cased Loewes
This 1922 bent billiard with tapered stem, orific bit came originally with the case
The 1913 straight billiard with replacement tapered stem, orific bit (by Mike Billington, Blakemar Pipes) was a later find. But fits the empty slot like it was made for it
A bowl of well rubbed out Escudo

McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Rubio.
Had a great time at my high school reunion although I was sad at hearing about a few old classmates who passed away this and past years. About a sixth of the graduation class showed up, and though I wish more had been contacted or decided to come, everybody had a great time. Four of my teachers even showed up, and I had long conversations with all of them. I was surprised and gratified at how well they remembered me. They were terrific teachers. One of them was awarded the best teacher in the USA in 1987. Anyway, I'm home and have about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production. Watching the Braves-Giants game I DVR'd. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
The next is a bowl of Peterson’s Elizabethan Mixture.
In a 1913 Loewe straight billiard with replacement vulcanite stem
The 1922 was refurbished by Geoff Watson of Cambridge Pipe Repairs and this 1913 by Mike Billington, Blakemar Pipes.
Highly recommended if any UK members are looking for someone to clean up their old gems
This majestic Sydney blue gum forest about 10mins from home was where I went for a nice walk yesterday - with meticulously kept walking trails

Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.
Last smoke of the day is 2019 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. Fed Molly Danger, and am going to fed the ferals.
Back up North enjoying a much cooler evening with some MC40th in the Silver Gray

That looks fantastic, my friend Ben. 
Rattray's - Old Gowrie in a Peterson and a Cup of Joe.
Good morning. I start with a bowl of dt Veermaster Hamborger. On my good friend Peterson, a gift from our good friend Dan, the Dutchman. Always grateful, my friend Dan. I wish you guys a happy Sunday.
Watching the World Cup final on the edge of my seat with Bankside in this Upshall with gold plated engine turned silver band.
HH Burley Flake in an MM Washington.
Enjoyed some CS Bowser's Castle lvl 2 in the Jared Coles scoop yesterday.
Finishing up my pipe from last evening- McConnell in the Radice.
Waiting in line to get some donuts.
Jeez. Back when I was growing up there was never a line. That's gentrification for you.

That’s a stunning pipe, an absolute stunner!
Strongly second your recommendation about Geoff & Mike, they’re the boys to see, definitely.
BTW, I’ve been to the ‘Blue Mountains’ outside Sydney. All looked pretty green to me cobber, just saying.
