Finishing up some work in the garage, and enjoying some C&D Bow Legged Bear in a smooth Jobey Extra bent Dublin. Decent straight grain on it, too.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993. Sleepy Suzy is by my side as she has been much of the day. All the ferals are outside.
Survived the visit to the in-laws today! And by survived, I mean:
1) All vital organs are intact.
2) No legal paperwork was served, or even threatened.
3) The minimal amount of alcohol that was consumed was done of free will, not out of necessity.
All that said, I'm glad to be back home. First bowl of the month was Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s blasted doggie. 8/10
Bird report: House finch, California scrub-jay, California towhee, Steller's jay, California quail, American crow, Mountain chickadee, Hairy woodpecker, Spotted towhee, and Western bluebird.
Time to enjoy the first night of Shavuot, so Chag Sameach!

Now smoking Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with a burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Sleepy Suzy is purrin' in her sleep.
Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in a Castello Shape 55. 
A pioneer meer with Wilke Royal scot, last pipe before bed
Three Nuns in a smooth Masteo de Paja Fatta a Mano Classica (although it doesn’t seem like a fat man pipe) octagonal panel billiard.
Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cleaned the pipes I smoked since my last cleaning earlier today. Watching the Orioles-White Sox game that I recorded this afternoon. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I hope you don't mind my correcting you, but Fatta o Mano essentially means "Made by hand".
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Sleepy Suzy finally moved out of the chair to go to the kitchen to eat. And as soon as she finished, she came back to me, and is in her spot by my side again.
Briar Fox in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Having Daughters & Ryan Three Sails in a Savinelli Daughters & Ryan Tobacco rusticated Dublin with bead line (which I believe is a 412 KS) with black acrylic stem, while I watch a PBS documentary that I have been trying to locate for many years for my Ross Macdonald collection—The Originals: The Writer in America which aired on April 17th, 1978; this fifth segment of this series, directed by Richard O. Moore, featured mystery writer, Ross Macdonald. I’m excited to finally be seeing it!
Morning smoke of Amphora Red Full in a group (3)Dunhill Bruyer 111 F/T anno 1974
Dan Tobacco - Midnight Ride in a Altinay and a Cup of Joe.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Peretti Blend W in a full bent black sandblasted post-WWII (Comoy’s) Gresham Magnum 816 cavalier with a tapered black vulcanite stem and bottom cap. Fed Harry the Hairy. Couldn't feed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave their 3 a.m. wet food until Harry was out. Going to check on them in a couple of minutes. Sleepy Suzy is looking as she did in the photo that I posted earlier.
BriarWorks Smokehouse in a 2019 Dunhill bent brandy 4333. While technically, it’s a group 4, it seems to be sized more like a group 3 to me.
Peterson Nightcap in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade rusticated bent ball-apple with saddle stem and Sherlock silver band and p-lip.
Last smoke of the day for me and currently, enjoying a rare Italian Jobey Torino alligator pattern slightly bent prince #965 restored by @98now for me. This thing has a BIG bowl for a prince, and I’m loving it. Having C&D Night Train.
Near the first third of this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. All the cats are fed except for the absent Abner the Eager. Watching an episode of the Fugitive. That's the show where I first heard the voice of William Conrad although I didn't know who he was until I saw Cannon.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Jirsa 210.
