Half way through this bowl of year 2024 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. Fed my cats, and Daisy the Feral Princess. She seems to have completely recovered from her surgery which is more than I can say for my wallet. Daisy is worth every penny it took to make her well. Going to check on the other ferals after I post this smoke.

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. Fed all the ferals, and only Harry the Hairy is outside. Tomato the Brave ate a lot, Abner the Eager, not much, and Harry did well for himself. Not walking today because of the strong winds.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Gold in a post-WWII Bertram 60 straight smooth dark brown squat bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink. Yesterday, I had a Canadian day. Today will be a bulldog day.

I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a straight sandblasted black post-1938 (Comoy’s) Made in England Ancestor bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. M'lady feeding Abner the Eager, who's been very sleepy today. Am chatting with the forum varmit.

Absolutely love my Bertram 120. Of all the pipes I’ve owned in my 16 yrs of smoking, it has the most wide open draw! I have a Bertram 80 that I picked up a few years ago, but broke the damn stem. Need to get that replaced this year….would anyone have any suggestions who to go through for this?
 
Enjoying some G&H Dark Flake scented in a Briar Works prince. Love a hot beverage in the evening, but can’t handle caffeine this late in the day. Found that I had run out of decaf coffee so I made a cup chamomile tea, which I am normally not too big on, but oh my does it pair lovely with this tobacco!

I wish I could tell you, but I don't know who is left doing pipe repairs. Maybe somebody here knows.

I have six Bertrams, three of which I cleaned but haven't smoked. The ones I have smoked are excellent pipes, and I recommend them.

Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Had a great chat with a great friend.

This afternoon the wind finally quieted down, and the sun came out. I was able to enjoy some Hearth & Home Louisiana Red in a Barling Sovereign bent Acorn with vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first time smoking Louisiana Red and I enjoyed it very much.

I recommend Tim West or Norwood's Pipe Repair for your repair. Just "Google" to find them. FWIW, FTRPLT
 
I can’t think of that Hanna Barbara cartoon character that said “busy, busy, busy” but I feel like that dude. SXSW is about to take over Austin. Thankful for a quiet back deck. A new sandblasted Peterson 11s deluxe system in natural Barley is at the ready. C&D Star of East is in the bowl. A dry martini is by my side and Spring Training is on the tube. Cheers!

I’ve had great luck with Rich at Briarville in GA. It is both a pipe retail shop and repair shop. Lots of stems to choose from. He converted my Pete Meerschaum bent billiard into a churchwarden and replaced a broken Wiley stem with something better than the original.
