What Are You Smoking Pages.

A little Capt. Black Original in my little Lorenzetti. Watching "Travelers" on Netflix.

Having a 2nd bowl of CH in a MM general cob and another mug of cowboy coffee. Guys just showed up to replace the siding that they had to remove to repair a plumbing leak. $1700, ouch. May wreck my plans to go ride Cochise. Oh well, has to be done.

Working on the bluff where I cut down 2 4" diameter pear trees. These are an invasive from the rootstock of Bradford pears. I'm told originally the rootstock was a sterile variety, but the industry went to a cheaper non-sterile one. They spread by birds eating the fruit and pooping out seeds. These have nasty thorn like spurs on them and will take over an area. Later the stump will get roundup. Now relaxing with a bowl of C&D Night Train in a Savinelli Trevi 320EX. Great weather for working outdoors with 60F this am.

Sounds like a good morning to work for me,too. Have a great day. We have an invasive variety of Buckthorn in Manitoba which does the same thing. Removal usually involves a blood sacrifice.

Starting my smoking day with 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 the Yankees-Rangers game. Going to feed the ferals in a couple of minutes. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I took an MM Missouri Pride filled with GLP Laurel Heights on a wine run and finished it doing chores(the pipe, not the wine). Now I'm watching the Olympic Taekwondo finals with GLP Westminster in a bent MM Legend Rob Roy along with a cup of coffee.

Thanks @Singed .Yep, that looks like a nasty one too and introduced. The article cites Michael Dirr, one of my favorite plant authors. I have a cherished 1980's edition of his "Manual of Woody Landscape Plants". I lost some blood on these pears today. The buckthorn species is interesting, in that we have native Carolina buckthorn, and the small bushy tree I have is full of red fruit now-very eye-catching against dark green leaves. Next bowl coming up in the Savinelli Trevi 320EX is C&D Habana Daydream with a cup of red neck prepped matcha.

We're enjoying glorious weather today in the Bluegrass. I just finished a bowl of Sutliff Black Cordial in a Monarch 1074H bent ball.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Going to post my Sutliff Silver Quarter 175th Anniversary Blend soon.

Now smoking and reviewing C&D Sun Bear Black Locust 2024 (Small Batch) in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem.

I just finished dinner, left over duck leg, thigh and wing along with home fries. I'm starting a bent MM Washington Rob Roy filled with GLP Westminster along with a glass of Moscato wine.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time.

It's a lovely, cool evening, and I'm enjoying Wilke Royal Admiral in a Peterson Mycroft, drinking Ballantine's Scotch on ice, and listening to the audiobook of Post Captain.

I'm listening to Vanilla Fudge on YouTube with a refill of Westminster and Moscato wine.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Rockies game, and DVRing the rest of the Orioles-Rays game.

Now smoking year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I'm up early and it's only 60° outside. I'm enjoying KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with saddle stem, a cup of Folger's Colombian coffee, and going throigh some chess drills in the iPad.

Breakfast of Champions, 2.0. Detailing my car interior this morning. Very few household chores today. Nothing on the yard. Have a good day all.

I had a great evening in the garden last night with friends - a few nibbles, many drinks and, of course, a pipe or two. In this instance it was the Sav Clark's Favourite, loaded with PS 24 Nougat. Can't go wrong

Good Morning!
It's a nice sunny morning and I slept in. I'm starting off with GLP Westminster in a bent MM Apple Diplomat along with coffee. I'm watching Olympic cycling before heading out to water the garden.
