Did a second set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the rest of McCloud.
Practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions (fastest and slowest) takes a LOT of pipe baccy; need to make sure I don't smoke it all before the re-enactments
What are “walking reps”?
It's a MM cob afternoon, first Mixture 79 in a MM/CD collaboration bent diplomat and now D&R Two Timer twice toasted burley in a MM poker nose warmer. A few years ago, Mixture 79 was the joke blend on Forums, and then one member pushed back and recommended it, and people began warming up to it. and now I think quite a few have the occasional bowl of 79 with no shame. I think there's anisette and maybe some molasses in there. D&R is a pleaser for burley devotees, no detectable flavorings and a nice solid down-home burley flavor.
I just got through a kidney stone episode, not the grand mal episode, ambulance ride to the hospital, but uncomfortable and disturbing of sleep. Now after a little blood shed, I'm a boy of sixty again. Or, so far so good. My primary care people had staff on the phone and guided me through it with a prescription and advice, without pressuring me to turn myself in at the ER. So far, so good. The stone is in an empty prescription bottle and rattles like a bullet. Good health to all.

What a beautiful pipe!
Bowl 6 in the Altinay is some XX Anniversary Flake
Now smoking Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem. This will last a while. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Thanks. it's a belated birthday present from a dear friend.
I do brisk walking laps up and down my street, which is at around a 45 degree angle, maybe a tad steeper.
After a long and much anticipated wait (three days became 3+ weeks) while the US Postal Service gave my package a round the world tour from Massachusetts to Guam to Hawaii to Seattle and finally to me... the Reiner Professional showed up unmolested and I collected it this morning. Specially selected as a danish-style german tobacco to be the first blend for my Schowa Selected danish-style german paper filter pipe from the (estimated) 1950s or 60s. It is a Large 100g tin - lid makes a great tray while loading. Enjoying it right now with coffee and I am not disappointed. 
How many times have you had to explain that over the years? I can recall at least a few members asking. Maybe we should make it a sticky thread on the introduction page.
G&H Ennerdale Flake in a Savinelli Regimental Smooth Bordeaux 624
Kidney stones SUCK in my thankfully indirect experience. Glad you are past that bit.
