In Indiana visiting my Daughter and two Grandchildren. Didn't bring the Meers, they can rest safely at home. Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Alden.

Its getting harder and harder to locate the pipe in your pictures ...
(Pun intended!)

My last bowl of 2024 Steamworks in a Peterson Derry 69. Pretty much all I've smoked in this pipe since I opened the tin.
Celebrating a new all-time record (again) for gold with a full flake of Mac Baren Vanilla Flake in the Brobdingnagian chamber of an Al Pascia meer, paired with a small pour of Johnnie Walker red on the rocks. I may crack a tin of something special for its next record high which, at this pace, should come by Labor Day. 9/10
Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Cooper's hawk, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Hairy woodpecker, Anna's hummingbird, and Western bluebird. Not to mention some nice birdseye courtesy of @PaulRVA a couple posts back.
This smoke is also dedicated to my great-great aunt Tillie, who would be 114 tomorrow. At my current rate, my cellar should last me until twice that age.

Thank you, I had reservations about the size but I’m happy I chose the mini. Convenient size, adequate smoke times and well constructed.
I’d do another and also recommend one if your into a shorter smoking session and something different.
Hope your having a good weekend and without anymore tread issues.
I've had my finger slip on the trigger a few times, too.
Love that almost elephant skin-like rustication. Quite eye-catching, especially around the bowl to shank point. Ya done good!
Weekend is going pretty good, I hope yours is as well. The tire was a surprise but I have a new one on its way. I went ahead and ordered a new spare for the truck also. I figured 37 years under the bed was long enough.
Thunderstorm incoming and as I sit here I can feel the temperature dropping into the mid 80's. What a relief and I can't wait until I get chased inside. BRV has been a regular lately.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, Dover sole and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to watch/listen to the Braves-Angels game.
Off to work on a new Sabrina story with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to the ball game.
Trying the first of my four tins of Sun Bear Black Locust received in the mail today. Smoking in my Altinay meer with coloring bowl. This is my first experience with Sun Bear, so I was a little nervous about pulling the trigger on 4, but I'm glad I did. This is delicious!
