It's always hard, very sorry to hear.

Couldn't ask for a more beautiful place to be Baptized!
ODF in a Castello. On the porch while it rains
Dark Bird's Eye in a Peterson System Spigot B42.
Now smoking Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaned a few pipes and fed Sleepy Suzy twice. The storm has come back, and I hustled Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in. Harry the Hairy was already inside. Dunno where Abner the Eager is.
All settled back in and getting over the short nights, long drives and jet lag the last few days. Firing up a bowl of fresh Sansepolcro in a Stanwell bamboo billiard and playing a little online Hold Em.
So sorry to hear; it's really hard to lose a good friend.
Chomping on a Kwiki Grape, (the one shown in the snap), as I type. Lots of visitors. Very gratifying but somewhat draining. Trying to get back to a normal routine, and slowly it seems to be happening. Still waiting on the probably now non-existent medical reports, so I'll be calling in a few chits on some retired doctor and nurse friends to help in the process. They still have pull. So do I - taught a lot of their kids and write a lot of recommendation letters, lol.
Morning pipe, a nice return to the MM Minicob STC with Smokers' Pride Cherry Cavendish. This is, imho, one of the very best cherry tobaccos available. The fact that we can get it up here for a relatively reasonable price is the clincher.
Probable evening smoke, a return to the break-in process with the Mr. Brog No. 52 Scoot. A question for the experts in a short Skippable Drivel below picture of smoking items.
Skippable Drivel. I'm strongly considering pushing the button on another Brog Scoot, not because I want it or it's a great smoker, which are reason enough, but because I want to "experiment" on it with respect to sanding, refinishing, and other minor types of alterations I'll eventually have to do on other items in my collection cuz I can be clumsy and distracted at times. Want to end up with an entirely different looking "scoot".
I'm entirely clueless as to this type of thing, and want to learn.
It's the very cheapest great smoking pipe I've ever had, too, $20 bucks US plus modest shipping.
What thinkest thou?
Cheers and have a great day.

MB Cherry Ambrosia in a Falcon. I wasn't too sure what I thought about this one at first but I keep reaching for it so I suppose it is okay. Not usually into cherry tobacco.
I relate. I found cherry tobaccos kinda . . . uh . . . okay, but never was really enthused. Then you find a couple that you do like. For me, it's like playing a simple but beautiful piece of music on the violin, like Kreisler's "Liebeslied" or Massenet's "Meditation from Thais." Not taxing, relaxing, and you're glad you included it on the program.

Hey there, Paul. Hope you have been well and surviving the heat wave ok.
️ on the side.Did you see that Smoking Pipes are running a promotion on their stock of Bruno Nutten pipes??
Here's the link:
Man, I am so sorry to hear of what you have to do. Folks that are not "animal lovers" don't always understand but those who are can feel your hurt. Have had to do the same thing.
I view it like this.... we are blessed to have these dogs, cats, horses, goats, etc. in our lives and they become our friends. They are there for us and we need to be there for them. They depend on us to make hard decisions that are in their best interest and you are a good steward to do the "hard" thing when it is in their best interest. Glad you were blessed with a good friend for so many years......

The inaugural smoke in my newly acquired Peterson SH Watson with some PS LNF from 2013.
Im not sure what genre of tobacco this pipe will be used for, but so far so good. This is a hunk of wood!

Ryback+P in the J11. Septic guys called and are coming tomorrow, now I’ve gotta make the tree smaller for access. Good thing it’s the hottest day of the week so far
