That's very cool, man. It reminds me that I haven't seen Shy Stripesy lately. I don't know for sure, but I think Tomato the Brave has scared her away. Stripesy is very skitish, and afraid of durn near everything. I have fed her for two years, and she's still afraid of me. Hope she's okay.
In the last two weeks, Tomato has brought us a mouse and a mole. At least, I think he's the one doing it.
2022 Carolina Red Flake in a craggy Squire
Good day all! Starting with the last of jarred GLP Stonehenge Flake in a small Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4.
Did a set of walking reps in the steamy outdoors, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
Briar fox in a Punto Oro 122. The Fox has been growing on me, it was a bit rough at first, but it's mellowing out as it breathes.
C&D Visions of Celephais in its MM Hardwood. Been smoking partial bowls to encourage more cake in the lower half of the pipe.
At my computer with a second bowl of Dunhill EMP, drier than I might like it, but apparently perfect for others, LOL.
Very happy with this reconditioned Marxman pipe. @shermnatman , now you see another Marxman in the WAYS. Looking forward to what you might acquire in the future. My recommendation is to get them professionally cleaned and ozoned. Why, the Algerian briar, being softer, seems to soak up years of unattended abuse. But what a joy they are once thoroughly cleaned and made new. By the way, the Algerian briar seems to really soak up the stain that Marxman used, which was according to Marxman, a "trade secret". Only a few of the carvers supposedly new the formula. It shines up nicely, even years and years later.

LJ Peretti London flake in a handsome Castello
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink.
Peters Perfect Plug - PPP in a Yello-Bowl 
Doug Finlay chubby apple and Watch City Viral Vanilla. It’s very vanilla, not sure it’s for me. Edit: it isn’t, at least today. Dumped and now Blue Ridge Special, lol.

@telescopes who do you send to for cleaning and ozoning?
Now smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Time to clean a few pipes.
