Close to finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Still zoomin'. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

That is one cool pipe! Is that Mayan, Etruscan...portrayed in the silver overlay? I'd love to see more pics of the silver art.
I've got to spray for creeping charlie, burweed and various other broadleaf lawn invading weeds in the next couple of weeks before I reset the bermuda. I've found Trimec Classic does the trick. There's not much to kill as I've kept up with it but I still spray the entire lawn which happens to be 2 acres.
2013 Christmas Cheer was a good year for that blend. Probably my favorite year, of the years I had the pleasure of enjoying. I miss that blend.
Solani Silver Flake in a Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro Smooth Natural (627) (Legacy Stock) Bent Egg.
GLP Samarra in a Manuel Shaabi bent egg.
I have a KB&B calabash with a Redmanol stem and last year I picked up a Reiss Premier Redmanol pipe with a screw on briar bowl. It's a small pipe and a wonderful smoker.
Grousemoor plug
As a bird need I enjoy your bird reports. I'd have to head north a bit to see a Mountain Chickadee. We get black-capped occasionally but mostly Chestnut backed...looking at a Northern Flicker as I type and smoke.
Briar Fox in a Bones Balldog.
Stepping into my workspace to enjoy a celebratory bowl of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a sandblasted Barling bent egg. What I'm celebrating is its merciful release from competition against clearly inferior blends, and now that what's done is done, I can get back to more important things. Like indiscriminately downvoting any Lakelands out of sheer principle.
Bird report: Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, Oak titmouse, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California towhee, Spotted towhee, American crow, White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, and California quail (don't park your Bentsen under a Bush, or a Quayle might Dukakis on it...)
@brandaves Cheers! Chickadees are my favorite. Thanks for trying to help w/LNF there...we can't help it if everyone's taste, as Willem Dafoe's character in To Live and Die In LA said, is in their @$$...

Glengarry Flake with a pinch of 5Bros mixed in a MM Missouri Pride.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem.
My dream home is a tiny cabin in the woods with only endemic species growing at their will with no interference from me. Someday..maybe
C&D Repose in a Randy Wiley. Lazy Sunday. Smoke, nap, smoke some more...
Back up to a balmy 47F - felt like spring this morning! Good project day, finally home and settling down with a malty chocolatey coconut porter and Dark Holler in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer, and more perusing of the latest Pipe Collector from NASPC.
Same here. I work in Raleigh and live out in the country one county over to the east. When I retire I will be leaving this rat race. I will say that I am very particular when it comes to landscaping. I only plant what is indigenous to the area. We have an outstanding agricultural extension that has been been very helpful.My dream home is a tiny cabin in the woods with only endemic species growing at their will with no interference from me.

Breaking in my new estate I picked up from MBSD pipes. It is a North Dane Pipes 72 Special, a bent Dublin with some very beautiful grain in a brown finish. Stuffed with G&H BCF.
The service from MBSD was excellent and it was packed exceedingly well.

Home alone. That’s never good. Lol. I get busy thinking. I thought up a new pipe tool out of a 1939 date nail that I’ve been eyeing in a post in one of my old cattle pens. So. Needless to say I’m gonna burn some Briar Fox in the ole Yello-Bole and see how far I get.
Love the Doctor pipes and that second one is special! Can't wait to see it in hand!
