With four straight days of precipitation incoming, I am yet again prepping the property aka The Great Mudpit. I have also prepped a Savinelli Bacco 321 bent author with a bowl of Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court, a most interesting "kitchen sink" blend...for a most kitchen sink kind of day. Ugh, I sound too much like a salesman.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, American crow, White-crowned sparrow, and Western bluebird.

Shabbat shalom!

Should I restore it or leave as is?

Judging from the pic it wouldn’t take much to clean it up. Personally, I like a bit of “patina” on my briar. As long as it smokes well & the bowl is reamed and internals are all disinfected for new smoking I’d leave as is…keeps part of your people on it. 😉👍☕
