Afternoon bowl of christmas cheer 2016 in my 1933 root briar 197 billiard.
MB HH Pure Virginia in a Peterson System 309.
Enjoyed a two foot long pastrami subs, and a bunch of unsalted peanuts lunch. Desserts were a slice of pecan Danish Kringle, two oatmeal raisin and two chocolate cookies, and a big golden delicious apple. I'm still a tad hungry, too. Anyway, I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2019 Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Abner the Eager decided to snooze on the lawn mower that our yard fella left here. That boy certainly knows his comfort level. He's so happy that he didn't come in to eat.

Most welcome! Should add that a 2 1/2 year old is not that big - if you dress it, bone it, skin it, and pack it out or (into a box if it was unlucky enough to be munching grass or foliage on the roadside) that's only about 35 pounds, or with the ribs and liver (best parts! bear liver is the besI you'll ever eat,) maybe 50. I could do the whole job roadside in about half an hour, and as prime time is just before dark, that works.
That's not a lot of meat for a year, and counting rabbits and store bought, one or at most two bear a year is not excessive. I usually took two if I was making sausage. So indiscriminate wildlife slaughter, it ain't.
Counting that, and the bountiful trout up here, which I mostly canned, I ate pretty well! All this was of course shared with Mom and Dad and my sister, too. Even the ubiquitus squawfish or suckers would be canned occasionally, as well - add a couple of drops of liquid hickory smoke to the process and they made a fine sandwich. All those bones just melted away. Guests would love them, and when they asked what fish it was, I'd lie, "rock cod".

Morning all, just chatting with some TAD and PAD enablers via PM behind the scenes whilst I smoke GH Brown Pig Tail in a Pete with some strong coffee.
Great afternoon on the bicycle! Ready Rubbed Match in this cob. Sweet iced tea.
Cowboy Coffee in the Stublin and the pup on her leash. About to get a little lunt in...
About a third of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated slight bend black sandblasted Lorenzo Elba Imperia 8636 egg with an amber colored acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Abner the Eager got off the lawn mower chair to eat, and when he went back, he saw that Harry the Hairy had taken his warm spot. Abner's on another chair now, but he doesn't look happy about it. Almost sounds like a party game, doesn't it?

Afternoon bowl of Kentucky in a Castello Sea Rock G, after making a couple business calls. The rest of the day will be spent outside in the winter sun, trying to get my trim pile to burn.
The commuter blend, in the commuter pipe.

My favorite blend, Royal Yacht, in a Mastro de Paja.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Enjoyed a snack between smokes.
Just finished some Briarworks Bacon Old Fashioned, their KDF dominant blend, in a Moonshine Cannonball, curved with acrylic amber stem.
Finishing out the workday with a bowl of SPC Virginia Jazz, my first time trying it. Not much of a VaPer fan, but some sp.com reviewer said it should be called "Vinegar Jazz", so I had to try it. So far, nice vinegar on the retro, which is what I was looking for... smoked in a Rossi Rubino Antico.
After work bowl in the shop. Plum pudding bourbon barrel aged in my own creation.
