After a 70-odd point drubbing in Scrabble courtesy of wifey, I mended the psychological damage with a bowl of Newminster 400 SNF in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s blasted bulldog. Worked like a charm! 9/10

Bird report: California scrub-jay, California quail, House finch, Mountain chickadee, Dark-eyed junco, Common raven, Mourning dove, Red-tailed hawk, and Oak titmouse.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

The perfect hearty burley after a steak dinner. Edgeworth sliced (tin opened/jarred in 2009) in a Mauro Armellini rusticated bent Calumet. One of my 2 absolute favorite burley pipes.

[Sandblast]

Just returned from DC/Northern VA area. Helped & took care of Lady Friend after knee replacement surgery Apr 23. Was gone almost 3 1/2 weeks. Almost took couple of cobs with me, but decided no. Hence, no pipe smoking. Getting ready to fill my Peterson 999 Army with some Brunello Flake, courtesy of a friend in the Pipe Club Apr 16. Will also, this week, be opening a fantastic gift from another Pipe Club friend, a sealed box (pkg) of Middleton's Cherry Blend. And will also be dipping into some Brown Clunee, courtesy again of a Pipe Club friend. Thanks to Craig, Ted & Ben -- much gratitude.
NOTE: Had to replenish the fridge upon return, needing big carton of yogurt. Purchased at one of my favorite Indian grocers .... Indian yogurt good, but probably not all that different than regular grocery store yogurt. Yogurt, fruit & oats are a regular breakfast indulgence. While there, saw 2lb packages of Baby Goat meat. Looking forward tomorrow to big cast iron pan of Curried Goat with veggies, rice alongside.

Pirate Kake in small black clay. Liked this blend so well, from the generous sample gifted to me by a forum member, that I sent off an order for plenty more. Good stuff!

Frickin’ wind is really cutting into my pipe enjoyment today.
So far only got in a generous bowl of Odds and Ends in the Person Sportsman 87 while trying to adjust the old Kubota’s rock shaft feedback without taking my hand off…

Country Squire Lamb With Jam in a Savinelli Autograph sandblast volcano.

 

[BrightDarkEyes]

First smoke of the day in my Vauen Dr. Perl 4284 M straight black sandblast billiard with replacement fishtail tapered acrylic stem from a Vauen Verde series pipe and 3mm filter adapter.

I made pork tamales for the first time this morning and smashed it out of the park! No wonder no one this far North makes them. It took me about six hours in total and I started the pork in the slow cooker last night. Man, it was worth it though. By the way, good Mexican food is hard to find in Canada. For some reason all the really good food begins at the US border.
