Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rock fish and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Super Sleuth starring Jack Oakie and Ann Southern.

Well, I was born on this day, and it happens to once again be my B-Day today, but I must give thanks to my father, and all yours too!

Turned 62 today, LOL ? and I still feel like a big kid, and I’m so grateful to be in great health too, so if any of my fellow pipers are struggling with their health, my heart goes out to you. ❤️

Where did the time go, WOW it was a long time getting here, but looking back, in the blink of an eye. ?

I’m not going anywhere, you bastards are stuck with me! LOL ?

So no praises needed for me, I’m just happy to share with you all! ❤️

I’m a computer geek, and we all get the, so many that have no life, and online all the time, etc., well, this forum, goes beyond the stereotypes, and truly shows, how people all around the world can come together, in respect and love towards one another.

I’m really grateful to be here! ❤️

Oh, I had no one to shave for today, just sitting at home chilling, but I shaved a little for you lads and lasses! ;)

So, thanks to the generous heart of @ashdigger, I have this smoke today, for him, all you, and all the fathers! ❤️

Be truly well everyone! ❤️

2012 Samuel Gawith FVF in a 1901 Sam McLardy &. Co. Meerschaum, it’s the first time I’ve ever smoked a meer before, so cool smoking.

FVF felt so fitting for the Era of this pipe, for my first blend in it. :sher:

The FVF in the bowl, ready to light.

This pic is for you all, trying to smile and not drop the bloody pipe out of my mouth. I also don’t want to clench and nick up my nice shiny vulcanite stem, which has no marks either... LOL ?

Enjoyed a tasty peach, and smoked a bowl of C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Inspired by @JimInks 's post, I thought I had a unique opportunity to share a similar experience with him, separated only by distance and roughly four hours, by having some 1926 Velvet tobacco (courtesy of @ashdigger ) in a period correct early 1900s Colossus Pipe Factory Chesterfield Bent Billiard with a Peterson-like stem that is stamped "SOLID RUBBER." Cheers Guys!
