Hey @Goblin_Walrus , it really IS a perfect evening, in Fort Worth as well. Ha ha, bourbon always helps! -- I may have to grab me some Rye after I finish my current smoke and coffee. Cheers mate!

This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
I’d rather have rye! It’s a good night for a little tipple and a smoke out on this windless, balmy evening. Cheers bud!Hey @Goblin_Walrus , it really IS a perfect evening, in Fort Worth as well.

Calm fall evening around a small campfire enjoying a bowl made up of a few different open remaining scraps to form a full bowl: Squadron Leader, Burley based homemade blend by a forum member, C&D red virginias, and Izmir. Smoking it in a Nording natural free hand.

Heck yeah! Love me some Nightcap
9/20 MB Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
I love the dark bowl with the blue stem, pipe lives up to its name. Very nice
Just finished smoking KBV Burley Morning Pipe beta in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer billiard with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Braves and Buccos are in a rain delay. That rain will be headed our way by tomorrow.
Capped off a hectic week with a first time try of C&D Briar Fox in my main all-purpose cob, a MM Dagner Poker. Although I've always considered myself a millennial codger, I may have to wait until I'm sporting a forest full of grey chest hair before trying this kind of blend again. Or when my Social Security checks start arriving, whichever comes first last. 6/10
Bird report: House finch, California scrub-jay, California towhee, California quail, Lark sparrow (first time sighting!), Mountain chickadee, Bushtit, Northern flicker, Band-tailed pigeon, American crow, Steller's jay, Red-tailed hawk, Hairy woodpecker, White-breasted nuthatch, and Spotted towhee. I also ran into the local ornithologist at the nearby market yesterday. He's 86, and can hold a conversation quite admirably. You don't meet many folks like this anymore...'twas an encounter to relish!
Going to try and enjoy some peace and quiet this weekend, which is seemingly about as lofty a goal as winning the lottery. But hey, stranger things have happened...

Whimsical in my new to me Alden Canadian.
Now smoking KBV B. Frog’s Moon Safari beta in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. The ball game has resumed. Everybody's snoozin' but me. I'd change that, but I'm too lazy.
(philosophical post)
A sunny September day — the leaves are only just starting to turn yellow, though most remain green, and there’s something unique in this moment of transition. I packed my RMC Marylebone into a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade (dark smooth) — a fitting companion for the season. Beside me is my little princess — my Jack Russell — still tirelessly trying to catch a mouse, as if the chase itself were her purpose. Watching her, I can’t help but think: perhaps that’s what autumn really means — the beauty of striving, even when it’s in vain. A pipe, the bright sunlight, the leaves on the verge of change, and a small four-legged philosopher reminding me that every moment carries its own weight.

Another day in the books. Evening walk with some Old Dominion in my little Kaywoodie Saxon.

It’s a beautiful sky that we live under, huh. Thanks for sharing man.
Thanks! Like all my Savinellis, it is a great smoker.
Cap Gold 2013 by the fire.
SWRA in a Diamondback. Great smoking weather!
