Thanks. I had am MRI today and thought at least I could look nice while suffering claustrophobia.

Started the day off with KBV Burley Morning Pipe in the Celebi, once again.
Chenet’s cake in a Nuttens
Did you hear he retired and selling off his personal collection? I wonder if that means he quit smoking. No one blasts like JT, that is for sure!
I believe he retired earlier this year and sold off some pipes through Vermont Freehand. I would say his blasts are consistently the best out there.
Starting off my smoking day wih a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Cowboy Coffee in the Sav 320EX.
KBV Colonial Reserve in a Savinelli Autograph sandblast volcano.
Loaded up some Falcon Meers with Captain Earle’s Ten Russians to smoke out on the patio till this evening. Nice day outside although breezy. Diet Coke on the side.
OJK in a Larrysson Hand Made in Cornwall 2012.
A little after lunch Half and Half in a London made 5 star Wally Frank. 
Gold Block, "The Aristocrat of Pipe Tobaccos" in my 1960(?) group 3 Dunhill Shell Billiard (the aristocrat of pipes?). Really works rather well, loaded as tight as it would go.
That's a right proper Prince. Magic!
C&D Sun Bear (first edition) in this Maigurs Knetts nose warmer.
Maltese Falcon in a Peterson in this chilly Monday afternoon. With some lemon water. 
Radice Rind Pure with EZ1.
Well, no pipe this morning. Bunch of errands today so I substituted a chew for a smoke. However, planning a nice, leisurely smoke with my Brigham Tundra Rhodesian 026S, a favoured pipe for long afternoon smokes, and TobaccoBarn's "Rockwell", a favoured tobacco for long afternoon smokes, as well.
Note the bear tunnel right above the can. Lots of traffic and droppings, but I'll resist the temptation
I'd drift a bruin or two with an arrow if it were legal, but frankly garbage bears don't taste as good as the wilderness kind, so I'll also resist the temptation which would take place around midnight if I were so inclined. Actually, there are so many bear-bangers going off at night in this area, that I could probably use a .22 and a headshot (yeah, it'll drop 'em instantly) but I'd frankly not want to get rid of the carcass by midnight skulking, and the hide looks better on the bruin anyways! I like bears, (and crows and ravens) so quite often feed them in the backyard to keep them away from the garbage cans in the front. Works.

I gave up an interest in watching sports on tv long ago. Haven't had cable for over 20 years. Oddly enough though, my favourite sport was always American Football, (not hockey as you might expect). My teams were always the NY Jets (I'm from Joe Willy days, if anyone remembers him now) and reveled in that Big Win in the late 60s), and the Oakland Raiders. I sure can pick'em, eh?
