Smoking two flakes, one ODf and another capstan blue, in my 1969 253 root billiard. Enjoying the spring sunshine and warmer temperatures up here in the Purcells.

Actually pretty close

Had jury duty starting Monday, I was assigned to a case Monday afternoon, completed voir dire, case completed early this afternoon. Now enjoying a bowl of 2017 C&D Kajun Kake in my old Pete Limerick 01s. Pleasant weather today, 65-70 F, light breeze, low humidity. Seems like some blends are just better with certain weather conditions, and this definitely is the case today.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of KBV Dwarven Mine (Sword and Board 2025) in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Working on figuring this blend out.
I have the day off work tomorrow, so starting my 3-day weekend off with some 2015 GLP Union Square in a Savinelli Estella 316 EX. Celebrating my 44th bday on Saturday, so plenty of fun things planned for the extended weekend!
Glad this came with a story. If it was just the pics, I’d have assumed that your pipe fell in, and you went in after it!A good sized smoke of GLP Navigator in the Sportsman 87 for the drive home today.
Jacked my back/hip up a bit yesterday wrestling a steel grate, I probably should’ve called my crew for some help, but pain is just weakness leaving the body

Those are neat pipes!

And the specific type of glass is a snifter. Brandy glass is correct, too, but I just think “snifter” is one of the coolest words in the entire English language: Snifter - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snifter
And a shoutout for Paykoc, whose stuff is always worth the money.

Spent the day at the lake with a good friend trolling for Kokanee or lake trout. All trout today. We caught 6- 3 keepers are in the fridge with a dry rub waiting for the smoker tomorrow.
I’m having a Sockeye Bier and some Watch City, 558.

Jim, I’d just like to put in a vote for fans of southern rock. If another cat comes along who favors Molly Danger after she “crosses the rainbow bridge,“ you should really name her Molly Hatchet. It’d give her instant street cred with the other cats.Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, fed an extra hyper Tomato the Brave again, unloaded the dishwasher, played with Molly Danger, and am half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-early 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood T.V.F. Made in England EL billiard with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. This is one of the pipes I finished cleaning tonight. I picked SJF because the bowl is just a little bigger than the Dunhill I usually smoke it in. Now, when I want a little more than the 1968 Tanshell Dunhill offers, I have this one to rely on. Not going to stop smoking that Dunhill though. This leaves me with eight cleaned estates to match with blends. Some are hard to figure because the bowls are big, and there are some blends that don't work for me in big bowls, except on occasion. The smaller ones... I'm picky about them, too. Luckily for me, I plan on living for a long time, so I have an excuse to bide my time for the right match.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of KBV Fuzzy’s Pud Deluxe in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.
Happy Birthday! Knife or pipe a gift?
