Enjoying my first ever bowl of Half and Half, in my Mastersen Freehand that I restored. Not bad, but not as good as Velvet.

About a third of a bowl left of early 2000s 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.

Back from a great breakfast with the ORREOS (Old Retired Rangers Eating Out). Lol. Having Bengal Slices in a Sav Hercules 320EX. Only about 2 more bowls and I can repurpose the jar for Drucquer Levant. Thanks to everyone for all the good BD wishes. Guess I got a bit carried away with the posts this morning but wanted to share with my BoB buddies what a great day I had. Wishing all of you the same happiness and joy.
 
Enjoyed an amazing lunch today. A couple of cups of Bulang Mountain Shou Pu-erh black tea, two and a half slices of Cozonac Crema cu Lapte brioche with vanilla cream, two slices of Cozonac Insiropat Nuci & Cirese (cherry walnut vanilla) brioche. One slice of the former was topped with Romanian peach jelly, and one slice of the latter was topped with Romanian cherry jelly. The brioche and jellies are amazingly deeply rich and filling. And, since this is an off diet lunch, I followed it up with a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with added raisins, and a golden delicious apple on the side. Many grateful thanks to a good friend for the brioche and jellies.

Currently, I am passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a 1909 medium bend smooth dark brown BBB Umbra bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Hey Charley, how do you like the BB blends? Have you tried many of them? Pipesandcigars.com has a BB sampler on sale and I'm thinking of buying one.
I bought the two samplers they had in the eight ounce tins, they're aromatic, they're okay. The flavors they claim don't really emerge, but the blends grow on me as I refill the pipe. If you wanted cherry or peach for example, there are stronger blends. Cheers!
 
A third of the way through this bowl of C&D Derringer in a smooth brown-orange undated Mastro de Paya 3A L Tulip with a silver cap military mount and an acrylic yellow tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaned a few pipes, and am ready to watch the Braves-Marlins.

Jim and I out on the trail with a fellow Ranger John. Jim on the left. I'm on the right on John's horse Storm. A Morga/mustang cross. Great mountain horse and I rode him doing mounted shooting.
Those horses and you guys look great. When a youngster, I had what was sold to me as a "pony", but he was stout as a mule and wide backed. I rode mostly bare backed. He had Morgan horse in him. His name was Big John. My grandma got too close to us one
time, and Big John stepped on her foot. Darn near broke her foot.
