Woohoo, just about time to head home the cops called-I gotta go clean up a gravel spill…having my Dark Sails mix (which I left in my safety vest last Tuesday).
Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in an Altinay
Peterson Old Dublin in a Becker Royal Flush Elite scoop.
I'm curious, SB, is this a sizable spill that will require you to use heavy machinery or is it more of a "shovel and broom" type of clean up??
Now smoking 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.
GH Bob’s Chocolate Flake in an IMP Reverse Calabash and Diet Coke on the side
The control panel in my last pic is for this thing. Fun to do in rush hour traffic in the setting sun…but better than a shovel and broom for sure!
Got back from that call then noticed one of the yard gates’ autocloser isn’t working, so now I’m having some OJKB in a Kaywoodie 8751S waiting on the gate guy.

Well, that bugger ought to handle it....
Good thing you've got plenty of T'backy to handle all of the delays.........
Have a good evening.
Visions of Celephais in this little bitty Peterson Junior rusticated short apple.

One shot is all it takes.
Gladora's Pesse Canoe Oriemtal Flake in this 1994 Stanwell Billiard. 
Constellation in a Craig Cooper Canadian. Well that's a lot of C's.
Saint James plug in a Peterson XL339s 
Nice quiet evening. Ending with Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Tinsky.
8/18 MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
Had a second try of HU Nebari in a Peterson Derry army-mount prince. Had to retreat to the garage with the garage door just cracked since it’s so cold now. The first time I tried this blend was shortly after a cold and it was OK. Today it really seemed to shine.
Minsk Market, Eagan MN -- went back today to purchase some Strawberry Kefir, some frozen Chicken Dumplings, more Russian Cheese and a jar of Sour Cherry Jam (for the Ukrainian Dark Bread). I should learn couple Ukrainian words, just to impress the staff.
Raven, I like your use of the term "West Germany". That was true during my US Army years, stationed in Schweinfurt, but the "East" & "West" words sort of went away after they "tore down that wall". I'd guess there are numerous Russian markets in Germany.
Yup, but that's the beauty of an Odds & Ends jar ... or Leftovers or Junk or whatever of many names. It can never be exactly repeated, and your jar would be different from mine. And both of our jars will change a bit as soon as we add something else.
NOTE: Technically, I should not have called it an Odds & Ends VaPer, because the contents are not entirely Virginias. There likely is some Burley, maybe some Oriental Turkish, some Latakia ... like, I don't recall what I dropped into the jar over many years.
NOTE2: Along with different tobaccos I bring to my monthly Pipe Club Meeting, as do my Pipe Club Brothers, I'm tempted to bring some Odds & Ends some time. I'm wondering if anybody would say "Hey, I'd like to try that.", or would the feeling be "WTH's the point? Aren't we sharing tobacco that can be identified?"
NOTE3: I recall back during my early teen years, a Great Uncle on my Dad's side always brought out, over the Holidays, his bottle that he called "My Special Good Stuff" ... which was basically an Odds & Ends bottle of all types of Bourbon, Canadian Whisky, even a splash or two of Brandy & Rum. I recall he'd use it to spice up his homemade Eggnog. Us kids would get some Eggnog, but virgin, no alcohol. Interesting that I don't recall any of the other Adult Men ever making any negative comments on his "Good Stuff". No Tequila, Vodka, Gin was in it.
