***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

[Servant King]

Once again, I am heading outside to batten down the hatches and get the property ready for the next storm. I can think of no better companion than SWR (regular) in my MM Dagner Poker.

Bird report: Steller's jay, California scrub-jay, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, Spotted towhee, Oak titmouse, and Common raven.

More TAD goodies for the cellar arrived today. Bless SP's Sutliff bulk sale! Happy weekend to all.

Pegasus in the little Kai Nielsen Billiard. This pipe is so good

I don't know if it's the wood imparting it, or the construction, but something brings out a wonderful dry cedar woody spice note from the Pegasus.

Good morning all. Out in the garden but not for long as the wind is in the south and given that the only landmass to the south is Antarctica it’s pretty darn cold, light showers and it would not be inconceivable that we had snow showers on the high points today.
