Received a lovely gift today of a tin of H&H Fusilier's Ration, and a healthy chunk of C&D Black Frigate. Sampled the latter in my La Rocca Due bent billiard. Not bad, although I would mix it in a 1:1 ratio with Big N' Burley and call it Brown Frigate or, alternatively, Proctology Blend.

All scatological humour aside, I enjoyed this blend paired with a glass of Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks.
Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California towhee, California quail, Common raven, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, Hairy woodpecker, and Brewer's blackbird.
Just got this one in before the thunderstorm comes through. Looking forward to watching Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight.
