I do enjoy smoking a #pipe of #tobacco from time to time.
Way back in 2022, I bought a variety of different pipe tobaccos with the idea of making my own English style blend, inspired by #SeattlePipeClub's #PlumPudding.

Buy them as stocking stuffers, or Christmas gifts, or just toss them in your washroom to read on the can.
Last run of something that's existed for centuries. Let's send them out with a bang. #FarmersAlmanac

This is the cloak my wife made me from 4 heavy wool army blankets. It weighs about 5kgs and has a lot of pockets and a few hidden ones on the inside.

Today is the day that I #EatTheWorld!
Every month I set myself a challenge of picking a random letter from the alphabet, then picking a country that starts with that letter, and then trying to make the national dish of that country.
This month I have chosen, The Gambia, and I'm making domoda!🍽️🍜

Watched the #JohnCandy biopic, I Like Me.
I loved it. It did make me cry and it was such a beautiful tribute.
I'm still leaking a bit.

Doing some small talk with a coworker and asked him his plans for the upcoming long weekend.
Watching him go from getting excited about forgetting a long weekend and then realizing no long weekend I'm just an asshole, was kind of awesome.

My wife just asked me to explain how what I did wasn't mansplaining and I feel like this is the Kobayashi Maru of my married life.

Nothing was harmed today but it was nice to visit our property and do a little walk around.
The apple tree we planted didn't survive the drought, the road needs some thinning out and the bypass route we put in for that atv'ers is no longer passable, but the property itself is in good shape.

Did an initial scouting of an area that I'll likely hunt from time to time.
I saw two grouse but didn't have a clear or safe shot at either of them before they flew off too far and I lost them. Next time.
It was a beautiful day for a walk in the woods though.

Since I had Miss Nellie J being all snuggly tonight, I took a few pictures.
She is a Pryneese/Labrador Retriever cross.

Here is my .22!
It's a Savage Arms Mark II, left-handed bolt action. I've mounted a 3-9 x 32 mm scope on it and it's a nail driver.
Lightweight, fun for shoot, cheap ammo, and it will put meat on your table.
Personally, I think if you're going to own firearms one of them must be a .22.

Won 2 lost 3 tonight at #chess night. The 3 games I lost, 2 of those I played good chess but against a great player. One of them I was just playing fast and not thinking beyond one move, deserved the loss.
1 of my wins, beat someone I haven't been able to beat before and felt like I broke a plateau

I miss my time playing as some of my favourite characters; Sir Tanly Thicke, Avery Badman, Waxhon Waxhoff, and Hyden Gohseek!
