Half way through the last of this pouch of year 2015 Sir Walter Raleigh in a 1922-38 Made in Ireland Peterson Dublin 3 straight smooth dark brown bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Aged Opening Night in a Jared Coles
The last bowl of this tin of Hamborger Veermaster in a Norm Triptow cobwarden. Just finished the Houston/Tenn game <sigh>. Now switching to a recording of the Dallas/Wash game.
A minute or two away from smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
Ho ho ho, one month to go! C&D Corn Cob Pipe in my Santa Claus meer.
7 degrees colder than yesterday but much less wind so I'm almost repeating but this time it's Tillerman in my pool meer and Marlin Flake in the claw meer with some Chimay Grande Reserve:
Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated. Yeah, it's a recurring problem, either back or hip. I haven't had cartilage in my knees for about 14 years - I used to be a pretty good athlete, hockey/soccer, and at 5'7" and 133 pounds as a highschool graduate, you can imagine what I played like. Guys kept their heads up when I was on the ice. My job was checker/disrupter/turnover center always on their best player to piss him off, disrupt him and take him with me into the penalty box. Cheap imitation of Bobby Clarke, my hockey hero.
When my knees finally crumbled, my thigh muscles were strong enough to relieve much of the stress on my knees, but not now a my age. When I slip or fall due to knee collapse, quite common this icy time of year, my hip or back goes out for a bit. Or if I roll over in my sleep.
Always a bit of a whiner (spent a lot of time in the penalty box) my Mom used to tell me "Stop yer bitching. You'll find sympathy in the dictionary between shit and syphilis." Takes a bit longer now to stand erect but I'll be fine in a few days. Fine sitting down now, as long as my behind is higher than my knees. Again, thanks for your kind comments.

Haven't heard that since basic training from First Sargent Otis Boatwright !
Good long walk today, got a few things done around the house, building a nice fire, waiting on pizza and wings, and smoking Chenets cake in an Asteriou chubby author. 
Smokers pride Cherry Cavendish in a Kaywoodie flame grain bent squat bulldog.
What dimensions are we talking? I enjoy big pipes for a richer, longer smoke. anything .80 x 1.5 and above is pretty big to me. I find them easier to smoke than small pipes. I’ve yet to try a real magnum size but plan on it,.
Wait, isn’t that my Rad Davis?
I swear I had my eye on that thing, suddenly appeared as sold. 
Having some Old Gowrie in a Sav this evening with water. I’m kind of giddy for the short week. 
My 1781 Mix (50/50 Storm Front and Yorktown) in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer. Jar note is Fig Newtons, every time. Very satisfying full/rich taste (not of fig newtons)!
Sitting on the back porch with Captain Black Grape. Missing the sound of frogs and crickets, I really hate this time of year.
GLP Triple Play in my Savinelli 310KS. Spent all weekend getting set up in our new house. Still a lot to do but it’s livable. Two months of being shacked up with my folks has come to an end.
