I know the feeling, this was my last camping adventure (deer hunt)
Erinmore Flake in a Peterson Christmas 2023 69.
Another day coming to a close. Just got back from a little after dinner lunting with the pooch. Time to turn it up a notch with some ODF in the SMS.
Can You Believe It's August? (... a traditional saying every year, right?)
Now having seen Back-to-School ads since early to mid-July, everything seems to kick into high gear when August arrives. All the stuff & plans that lingered w/o getting done, now GOTTA get moving. County Fairs, State Fairs all coming up. Stayed light until nearly 10pm in June, now pitch dark by 9:15pm. Weather still hot, humid but that'll be changing --- NOTE: looking forward to those first chilly, even crisp nights. Farmer's Markets & Roadside Veggie stands will start flourishing. Trees still green but have seen (counted) 8 yellow leaves. And, of course, Football Season beginning, for those that follow. Another month (September) & kitchens will be fragrant with Baked Squash & Roast Pork w/apples & onions.
In solidarity with the calendar, felt it appropriate for first pipe of August to have my own Aro, something I put together 12 years ago, left it jarred for 10 years, now dip into it periodically --- and named it Autumn '12.
Smoking in a Pete 309 System Standard Rusticated.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
2018 MB Club Blend in a Charatan special Dublin. Watching the Devil's Rain (1975).
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. It's time to check on the ferals.
Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager. Daisy the Feral Princess will be snoozin' on her blanket soon.
Sutliff Estate Blend in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft.
Bayou Morning in a Savinelli Autograph 4.
Recently acquired this estate from Sybarite Pipes in Barcelona. Shout out to Alex. He was very friendly and helpful as I scoured his collection of amazing pipes.

Well, last one for the night. Bayou Morning from 2007 in the 70's Caminetto.
Half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a late 1890s, early 1900s straight smooth brown unbranded billiard with an A&D silver cap and ferrule with a tapered amber stem and orific bit. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. I brought Molly to the den this evening to lay on m'lap's lap, and she seemed more relaxed than last night. M'lady went to bed a while ago, but Molly has stayed in the den even with Daisy the Feral Princess laying on the sofa near her. She only hissed Daisy once. I put her plate on the chair where she has stayed this evening, and she's eating with no problems. These are encouraging signs for all concerned.
About to start my 10 hour shift behind the wheel ,but prior to that I gotta have full bowl of Amphora Reds , once again in my reddish Peterson Harp model 15 medium billiard
Getting back in to my routine. Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Jirsa Nosewarmer.

Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Molly's still in the den.
Lighting up some White Horses in a Peter Klein Volcano. Morning coffee on the side. We seem to be back to normal weather which is warm but not nasty and opressive.
Back home and about to enjoy some WCC Flake #558 in my Kriswell Bernadette.
