Getting ready to watch the broadcast of UFC 323: Merab Dvalishvili vs. Petr Yan 2, taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. This will be the UFC’s last pay-per-view (PPV) event before its new media deal with Paramount Skydance takes effect in 2026—the numbered events will instead be available to stream at no additional cost on Paramount+ in the U.S. starting next year; this is a most welcome change for an MMA fan like me—the cost of one PPV event covers almost an entire year of Paramount+ streaming! Even better, Susan actually got a Black Friday deal via a Walmart bundle, effectively making our Paramount+ cost only $49.99 for the next year. Having Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard (two foot stamps), which will get me through most of the upcoming six hours of fights, and hour-long post show coverage.
LJ Peretti Ampersand Flake in a MM cob. 
Listing this a few minutes early: year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
Nice pipe. Looking forward to your review.
My first pot is enroute. I'm looking forward to mine big time, but it ain't in the same league as this one! Beautiful. I'm both envious and covetous!

December always arrives quietly — the final month of the year, when the cold seems to sharpen one’s thoughts. In this air, everything unnecessary slips away, leaving only what has real weight. It’s a good time to take measure of what’s within and to look ahead — calmly, without haste, as if winter itself is inviting us to reflect on what is truly worth carrying into the year to come.

Smoking some We Three Kings in my Peterson Pub Pipe tonight. Watching this non-competitive football game
Definitely happy about the Paramount + transition
. Re-watched the first Merab v. Tan fight the other day. Damn, that Merab is a machine…he just keeps suffocating opponents. I’m thinking as long as Merab sticks to the same game plan…he walks outta there “and still Champion” by Buffer.

Now that’s a looker! Really like the lines and detail on this pipe. Very handsome indeed.
Thank you Paul,
I think so, yes, 31. It is "G" sized too
I see you were also moved to smoke a lovely Sea Rock this morning. Very nice

Started off the day with some of my Dark Sails mix in the Peterson Kildare 53
Did a Home Depot run with the wife for plywood and other supplies to get the mare motel in the background above set for foaling in a couple months while smoking FireDance Flake in Ropp J07.
Didn’t get anything done once home, I’ve been kinda dull minded as my dad hasn’t been doing well the past couple of days.

Needed to deworm the ewes, so I went out to feed a little early. Time enough before sunset to relax with some Watch City, BAda-Bing in the House of Robertson Lovat.
This blend is really growing on me.

Just finished off a bowl of a beloved GLP blend in an HS Studio wasp. Now grabbing a stogie and heading out to rake the driveway.

@gord I love how your Skippable Drivel section gets a formal introduction!
As for me:
Trying something new today, for the holidays! Cracked my tin of We Three Kings, packed into a Neerup Classic 4 Bent Dublin Sitter.I really like this. No drying time, burning cool. Very smooth. I'm finding it quite mild in flavor - was expecting more pop. It reminds me of a mild, pleasant aromatic like Macanudo America Blend, but with a little addition, I'm assuming it's the Turkish. My buds also feel a little de-sensitized today, so that could be part of it.
Beautiful 50 degree afternoon. H-E-B Taste of Austin (pecan/cinnamon) coffee
