All your pipes are gorgeous, but just when I start to think only red-stained pipes are your thing, you come out with this brand new whiskey tan beauty, and the alligator skin/flower petal treatment SJ. Both are simply stunning!

Just finished a bowl of ODF in a Ron Smith.
Wow! I think that Dublin would meet even the @Briar Lee strict standards for qualifying as a stovepipe.
And now, Burley Flake No. 3 in a BriarWorks Neptune.
Newminster Navy Flake in a Stanwell Brazilia.
Worked in the yard til about 3:00 . Then about an hour mushroom hunting . Found some pheasant backs & 7 morels , but 5 of them were too deteriorated to keep .
Now relaxing with Rattray's Hal o' the Wynd in a Carey billiard .

And now, enough DFK in a bowl of GLP Jack Knife to make a sailor drunk in a restored Jobey XL “EXTRA” sandblasted billiard, followed by what I was doing the last 5 days I was incommunicado.
HU Director’s Cut in a Becker Billiard and Ginger Tea on the side
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl left 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. I took out the recycle, and three ferals ran by my feet to get inside. M'lady is handling their feeding. Abner the Eager was in already. He kept trying to knock over the kitchen trash can to get at the chicken legs even though I bundled them up in a baggie. I took the trash out with the recycle. Abner gave me a "You're a meanie" look when I did.
Today I had two bowls of my ribbon cut burly-based cherry aromatic in this cob I slapped together from what was a dinner side-dish yesterday. It’s such a narrow chamber that I finished each bowl (tube?) in 15 minutes. It smoked surprisingly well but I think I prefer to just smoke a bigger pipe for a shorter time.

Just finished reading through 48 pages I missed since my five day vacation. Overdid this bowl of Mac Baren dark twist roll slices in a Peterson Sherlock Lestrade bent rusticated with P-lip saddle stem. RC Cola on the side. Didn’t know how much I missed my pipes! It’s now gurgling like hades, but dang, it’s delicious!
Now smoking year 2010 Penzance in a 1990s smooth dark brown medium bend Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a metal accent and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Abner the Eager kept trying to get inside the trash can even though I had taken out the garbage. We got tired of continually going to the kitchen and back, so m'lady reluctantly put him out. Abner was sad about it, but we can finally relax in peace. Maybe he'll get the message.
GH&Co Black Twist (sliced) in the Sportsman 87.
Everybody’s fed and good for the night, even the feathered lizards.
Mama was due back tomorrow from her conference, but may be detouring through Tennessee to see her daughter for a few extra days. She’s gonna owe me for taking care of these vile creatures.

No more chickens for me as of last year. Strange looking out at an empty coop, but with all the travelling (among other things) i have little choice but to cut back on the responsibilities. 1 old dog left and after that, nothin' but crickets. That'll be strange. I've had all sorts of animals around my whole life. Time flies, things change.
Back in the lounge for a bowl of Director's Cut in a Castello while the sun goes down.
