Did a second set of walking reps, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
After some work on the gutters ( I put leaf guards on over 10 years ago. Similar to the ones advertised on TV but from Home Depot at ¼ the price. Easy to install but every year you do need to get up there and brush off the fine debris that accumulates in the screening ) , anyway before during and after I enjoyed a few bowls of Essenza Cipriota in my first pipe bought in 1972 a Butz Choquin Camerogue.
Now smoking year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1896 W.H. Newman, Ltd. billiard with a sterling silver band and a tapered orange stem with white swirls.
More Ryback/Odds and Ends in an MM cob, more stuff to do. Gotta button this up and go kick it inside.

Long day. Twenty-five large pine trees downed by Helene. Started Monday, finished limbing and bucking today. Lots left to do. Done for now though. Sitting in the smoking parlor with Johnnie Barkwell enjoying this:
I’ve been smoking SPC Deception Pass in various pipes throughout the day. Lastly in this HS Studio pipe. I like this blend. Was surprised not to see any reviews for it on here. Anywho. Cheers to Friday, friends.
Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
KBV Acadian Flek in my Pete Short Army Pot.
Can't get this arrangement of Rocky Top out of my head. Shazam doesn't recognize it. Anyone know who did this version? Chilling end. Damn.
