Ordered a gun off of Gun Broaker
I bought most of mine from a local auction years ago. I bought mostly S&W .357 revolvers because I was reloading .38 & .357. I did by a Colt .38 that was supposedly Nat King Cole's carry piece but the never supplied the documents they promised. It's a nice piece and reasonably priced.
 
Now smoking 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. Almost time for the Braves-D-Backs game.

When I left the Midwest for CA in 95 I sold off most of my guns. Did keep maybe 4 or 5. Sad thing is I had probably 10 guns that were totally unregistered. Back in those days you could buy a gun at a hardware store, pay the clerk cash and walk away with the gun. Considering how things have gone these days wish I had kept all of them. Lol.
 
Bought a can of my old favorite codger blend, Carter Hall, last night at the pipe club meeting and am enjoying it now in the same Cayuga Rhodesian as I smoked this morning at 4:30. Drinking some diet Kroger cola that I got on sale. It doesn't have half of the carbonation as real Coke and is not nearly as good as the real thing. I guess I got what I paid for.
 
Just finished smoking Sutliff Presbyterian in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Time for some lunch.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am passing the half way mark on this bowl of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Larry's Espresso #9, neat, is my drink.

HH Pure Virginia in a Peterson Flame Grain. I could have done better, but I'm pleasantly surprised. The roasted Costa Rican beans made a decent cup of coffee in a French press. I'll reduce the heat and pull the beans off faster next time, and add more coffee to the press, as my invalid father remarked, "You can tell if the dime is heads or tails on the bottom of the cup." But we agree we like it. Thank you all for all your tips!

I have a couple that didn't make the system. A friend of mine was served with a restraining order that included surrendering all weapons. Aside from firearms he had years of purchases from my Martial Art Supply shop. He looked at the officers and said "you'll need a much bigger vehicle and more manpower", they requested he turn over a few hand guns. He told them it was all or nothing and they turned, left and never returned.

How hard was it to chew through the feathers?
Proper timing, scalding, a good plucker and tweezers. Smooth as a baby's bottom!
 
Some of Swede's VaPer from a puck made with the contraption below. This is raw Va at 75% plus blending perique at 25% jarred as a puck for 1 year and 1.5 months. I dry tobacco on these leftover brown packaging paper pieces and carry them on it to my smoking porch. Not bad and hoping it shows better flavors in this Peterson rusticated standard system 302.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production. Been busy traffic copping the ferals.

Did a second set of walking reps, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
