Really sorry to hear this.
I know you loved him and he knew you did too.
Miniature Project not completed today - looks like my computer is giving up the ghost. It's a 1911 edition of the Lenovo, and it's been acting strange lately, and friends have been drifiting in and out all day. So I'll do what I can do now and get back at it when I can find another old computer upstairs to finish the job.
Starting where I left off this morning. I took out my second McQueen Miniature Barrel Rider and loaded it up with Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. Was introduced to this a few weeks back. Like it. A nice quality aro for a morning smoke. This pipe is biased for this kid of fodder, so it was well paired. (sorry for the typing but 1/4 of the screen is missing
and I'm having some troubles seeing what's going on. Been like this all day . . . .
Next on the list was one of my MM Morning Minicobs, with Mr. B's (Brigham's) English Mix. Great little smoke, and then my longest McQueen Miniature, the Seafarer, with Backwood's Buttered Rum, always nice in this pipe. This is the only McQ midget that doesn't have a center draft hole, and the bowl is slightly larter than the others, so a longer smoke, up to half an hour, is possible. Backwoods is a very nice Buttered Rum, rich and full. Give it a shot if you like this kind of thing.
Next up was tongue bite, so I employed Pirate Kake in the McQueen Miniature Prospector.
PK is one of the tobaccos of choice for smoking with the condition. I employ it often lol. The Miniature Prospector has a really nice piece of briar on the bowl, and is employed for the English Breed.
Finished the day with more company, and switched to my Ropp J06, and Brigham's Shamrock Treasure, another tobacco I was introduced to recently. A fine aro with a lacing of Irish Creme. Quite unique and tasty.
Don't know if I'll be able to post tomorrow . . . . the computer is definitely crashing (it's actually going berserk
and there are bars running up and down the screen. If nothing else, I'll try to leave a note or find another old computer in the disaster area upstairs. In any case, this whole day with miniatures was well worth it. Good fun. Have a great Monday.

Just opened a tin of GL Pease Fillmore from this year. Wanted to age it, but just couldn’t wait

M'lady and I took a trip to see her two nieces perform as part of their college concert of Baroque music. They were wonderful, and so was the entire concert. While I was out, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Currently, I am half way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Penhooker in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. We didn't have time for dinner, so m'lady went to the store get a couple of things to fix that. I fed all the cats when we got home. The ferals ate and ran out.

Sorry for your loss, I hate losing dogs.
Enjoyed four big cheeseburgers and a golden delicious apple, and am now smoking GLP Silver Jubilee 25th Anniversary in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Still working on a review of this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
No it’s really nice. Deep and has some complexity. A huge folded flake.

Well, at least the apple was healthy.
thank god for my cholesterol med. Keeps me at better than normal levels despite my diet.
A quarter of a bowl left of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.
Actually, my cholesterol is always low as is my sugar and sodium counts. My blood pressure is always normal or slightly low. Every year that I get a physical, the doctor says that I'm in good shape. I eat healthy on my diet days with a fairly low calorie count.Well, at least the apple was healthy.
Just finished smoking year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Been catching up on stuff.
Now smoking Watch City Kringle's Koncoction in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Writing prelim review notes.
4th Generation Va/Or Flake (not FUSTG) in an Ali cherrywood for what may be the second to last pipe of the night, unless i get feeling froggy.
