Congrats on your new son! And don't let that good boy Shems go without attention.

Trying to finish up a jar of Marlin Flake I put away a few years ago. I think I have enough for a few bowls after this one. 
OK, not going to lie, I love a good VerPer but I liked the label art mostly. Meh. I'll put it away and see what happens in 6 to 8 weeks.
SG Kendal Plug in a Stanwell (reg’d) 70 volcano. My dad picked this up at Iwan Ries in the late sixties most likely.
I wish I’d have gotten his pipes before his mild dementia made recalling details impossible-I’m sure one of the collection he passed on to me in late ‘22 was bought in my birth year.

Good weekend and pipes to all! Finished yesterday's eight hours of driving for medical appointments with a mix of Elizabethan Mixture and 1792 Flake in a Tilshead smooth Billiard with long saddle stem. Very nice. Started with 1792 Flake today in a dedicated Wilke smooth Billiard with pinch-waist tapered stem size 4. Followed with GH Ennerdale in a dedicated Tilshead smooth Footed Cutty with eighth bent tapered stem (gettin' old and gettin' flakey).
I feel very lucky that no one snagged it, while I was gathering funds for it. I’m happy to add it to the UFC pipe rotation.
H&H Anniversary Kake in my fun Lil basket pipe.
First bowl of Boswell’s Chocolate Cream in my Nording 506. Sipping on water
Celebrated our horse's 16th birthday and yet another successful (meaning all my vital organs are still intact and my mailbox has no legal threats in it) interaction with the in-laws with a nice big bowl of Savinelli 140th Anniversary in a Stefano rhodesian. Looking forward to a few dry days here to make the earth walkable in footwear other than mudboots for a change. 9/10

Speaking of birthdays, listening to some Steve Roach, my favorite ambient artist, who turns 70 tomorrow. Chicken soup for dinner, which is another great reward for having gotten all of my kvetching out of the way. Shavuatov!

Seems a little like showing off, with the Vikings and all. But, I just had to tap a 2018 Burley Flake with my self made Ranger Spigot.
