A Great Pyrenees does wonders with keeping them in check if you
have the space for one. I get one or two yotes a year up here on my spread in VA but Hornady does the work instead of the dog. South of me across the James River they have more problems with them attacking livestock. Good luck with them as I hate hearing that.
Grendel is a great choice too, 123SST’s haven’t failed me yet😉

Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke. Watching the Red Sox-Giants game, which I listened to as I walked. The Red Sox have some of the best announcers in baseball.

Having Newminster 400 in another of my very early Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes, a Cherrywood with a Natural Horn Stem. It’s stamped “Bussang,” so, it’s very likely it was made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893. This one will be dedicated to Virginia blends.

This pipe has a slight depression at the front right side of the bowl where a small branch was cut off that makes a perfect spot for my index finger when holding the pipe.

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple on the side. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland: Limerick in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink.

OK, this one is definitely my second favorite in the series so far, partly because the memory of Bellamy is fading (currently stands as Bellamy in first, then this, then Seegar in third). Who knows how that'll change when I finally get around to trying the other three. That cane sugar taste mixed with the blackberry gives a sort of blackberry jam kind of taste.

Passing the first quarter of this bowl of 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

This is the only one I didn't open up to try, now you're tempting me!
