Newminster No.403 Superior Round Slices in a Bent Mark Twain with a cup of black tea. Gusty enough today to dig out and use a wind cap.

Now smoking Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent.
Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Peterson Deluxe System B42
Afternoon bowl of HU Nashville County in a GH Zhang octagonal panel.
OJK in the little meer as the sun gets closer to going down on a fine Thursday. 
Earlier, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Cupido Robusto while playing golf. A bit chilly this morning.
Thank you. I'm pretty well stocked up but will definitely now buy another 40 tins or so.
I decided to smoke a little Match Sunrise in the Vauen bent egg before dinner; I was looking up at the night sky trying to see if I could see any of the Northern Lights which have been reportedly seen over Ct. In the distance I saw a string of stars and was trying to figure out which constellation it was ... but it wasn't ... six in a row became eight then about twelve then about twenty and they were floating/flying towards my backyard ,,, as they got to the treeline they simply blinked out or disappeared. I'm guessing drones in unison or one drone with a string of lights behind it. I know the Match Sunrise is about a year old but its not that fermented !!! As soon as the lights blinked out all of my neighbors (3) motion sensor security lights went on lighting up the street. Strange goings on ... but I have to make dinner now. 
The first thing I thought when I saw this picture:
“Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.”

Have a good evening.
First smoke of the year! I'm surprised I only made it two days. C&D Bayou Morning in a La Strada. This is a tasty blend, and it was mild enough to clench as I walk my dog in the bitter cold.
Sidenote I really gotta get a garage heater, this shivering and smoking is for the birds.

Bill Bailey’s Balkan Blend in a Rolando Negoita lovat.
Old Dark Fired in a Brebbia 834 to unwind after work. After this bowl, I think I’ll relegate this to a twice-a-year blend so it can last me a good while.
So the back story on that glass, I have a set of 8 or 10, they used to belong to my grandfather and he most definitely was an oil man! I am as well, though I’m still aspiring to be as great as he. I’ve come close a couple times but this is a vicious game nowadays. All that said, I’d love to be shooting at anything and have some crude come bubbling up!The first thing I thought when I saw this picture:

Could be Starlink satellites. Freaked me out the first time I saw them, which was roughly April 2020I decided to smoke a little Match Sunrise in the Vauen bent egg before dinner; I was looking up at the night sky trying to see if I could see any of the Northern Lights which have been reportedly seen over Ct.

Laurel Heights for me
What are your thoughts on the blend?
Trying out Golden Extra in a Falcon, to see whether it’s worth panic-buying a stash for the future.
