Glad for you, Patti is indeed a great, great artist and performer! I've seen her live here in Athens, some years ago. There's something very special about the way she stands on the scene and performs. Nick Cave has the same capability, I believe...

Loved the Sergeant York (1941) picture with Gary Cooper & Walter Brennan. “Valley of the Three Forks” rings in my head as I write this reply.
I’m sure the 
was somewhat fictionalized as most Hollywood pictures do around real events, but it was very entertaining all the same.

Too lazy to thoroughly clean this pipe and pick up another, so just reflled with Deluxe Navy Rolls. Mighty good tobacco.

I always wanted to be Gary Cooper. Still do.
He is often regarded by actors of the age as one of the best there ever was. His effortless delivery and way of handling co-stars is documented. He developed many friendships.

Sutliff Eddie G in a Barling. 50 degrees, can finally sit outside for a smoke.
and 10 years ago was still well into the age of computers, even in the UK! smh
Pretty well dedicated this old Weber reject to Gentleman Caller. Might as well try and polish the stem up. Pipe is growing on me. Smokes hot and likes a thumb across the top of it most of the time. 
Delicious Match Victorian in my Mastro de Paja 3AL Egg and coffee.
Laurel Heights in a Picta VanGogh #13
Just over a third of a bowl left of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Been raining for three days, so no walking. I did get the three C&D Toscano blends to review. Going to match meers with each blend soon, and start smoking them.
@Birddog66 Good to see a photo of you; I'm taking the 1792 Flake to the Battle of Nantwich in the leather tobacco pouch you sent me. How much 1792 Flake do you think I'm going to smoke with the Sealed Knot? Hope it's not too windy to light my clay
SG 1792 Flake in a clay. Saving the rest for the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich. Can't walk around Nantwich with a lit slow match if I'm going in the church, museum & pub due to the fire risk. Hope it isn't too windy to light my clay. Had a pint bought me yesterday for my litter picking efforts - and I put some batteries I found while litter picking in the collection box at Morrisons; it's always good to recycle street litter!
Having a bowl of Salty Dogs in a Rattrays Goblin billiard. 
Smoking now, for the first time, HU Moroccan Bazaar. A blend full of spices. For "balance" reasons I drink a sweet, hot, red drink with spices.
I know that most possibly I belong to a minority but... well, how should I put it?... I am not so enthusiastic about HU blends in general.
A good rest of Thursday to all of you good people!

C&D Bayou Morning in a Castello KK10 Bent still working on break in.
@HeavyLeadBelly Got a bit to smoke in my clays!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking C&D Toscano Maestro Allegro in a straight dark brownish sculpted 1960-70s Peterson meer poker with a factory replacement tapered black AB p-lip stem. Going to be reviewing all afternoon.
I've messaged Jason the blacksmith saying I'll have my pipe ready when I see him at the Viking re-enactments this year
