You guys are troopers out there. Winters are no joke, and when it’s over, you have the mosquitoes to look forward to.

There aren't any mosquitos in the city anymore!!! When I was a kid I used to get literally chased down the street by swarms of mosquitoes. This past summer we had plenty of rain but NO mosquitoes. On bad years the city sprays malathion to keep the numbers down, but first we had a drought lasting the better part of a decade, which kept the mosquitoes at bay and now...nothing. At least in the city that's true. We didn't do any camping this year.

I’ve been trying to rotate through all my pipes lately, but darned if I didn’t want more Virginia (this time Amphora) in the MM Morgan I just smoked yesterday.

That Sutliff VaPer Cake is top notch, enjoy!

Thanks! I really had little to go on, it's nice to know that.

This is true, even on the course the mosquitos were reasonable and we do not fog, some courses do. The standing water campaign in the city has been a big help within the city limits.

But, I digress...

Getting one in before staring at the back of my eyelids, under the watchful eye of a bat-eared chiwiener.

Nice retrieving session earlier - the low key approach has worked wonderfully and she’s now nuts about retrieving (and she should be, lol, but didn’t overdo when she was little-er). So I haven’t messed her up yet, haha. Peterson 125th B42 and Yorktown on the deck - what a super November day! View attachment 260867View attachment 260868

Good job on the training. Made me miss my Brittanys something fierce reading this. Too old to keep up with active hunting dogs now. Have fun with yours.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a 1991 Ashton Brindle X straight brown sandblast dublin with a square shank and tapered square acrylic cumberland stem. Had a long, long, fun day with some work included.

Part way through 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Following the Best Brown #2 (which is from 2019) I tried out some Astley's No. 44 Dark Virginia Flake in my Savinelli 702. Kind of meh. We'll see.

We were so poor growing up that every Tuesday we had fried mosquitos on bread with butter for dinner.

Sorry, that should be in "What Are You Eating?"

Luxury!
When I was growing up we had to get up four hours before we went to bed, work 20 hours down the mine, eat half a handful of cold poison for dinner and then our dad would beat us to death with his belt.
If we were lucky!

Morning everyone, started the day with an old otc codger blend in a Kaywoodie Dublin that’s so nice I’m gonna have some more. In a bigger bowl this time, the large billiard from the K MG set.
