Seems that the wintertime has arrived. Smoking some Balkan Flakes from Sailor pipe.

Tomi,
what about this fu...white stuff inside your pictures. Terrible!
It's called snow. I guess you've seen it too for a time or two :)Quote:

This is just the beginning. Not real winter yet.

I know what you mean, i share your faith. The snow itself doesn't make it cold.Quote:

No hope from trying to smoke my evening pipe.
I saw your wood shed... You can have a fire and a pipe... ;)Quote:

I often smoke in the outdoors, not because I have no choice (indeed, my 'man-cave' is warm and inviting), but simply because I enjoy nature and the short escape from the kids/wife/work (self-employed; maintain a home office). I've discovered that simply covering ones-self with a lap blanket and running an electric space heater under the chair your sitting in keeps one comfortable down to about -20c...any colder than that and you have to add an extremely high-nic blend to the mix. Well, assuming you're dressed for it, too - if you head out in Bermuda shorts and a tee-shirt, you're on your own...
Currently watching the rain fall, 'faceturbating' and trying to decide if I have enough growth to go shave, while puffing on a WDC Hesson Guard ('33) full of OGS tin-baked for 200m/165f.
I saw snow...The last time I de-frosted and scraped the ice out of the freezer...About the middle of winter just gone. I needed to do something to try and stay cool and that was the best thing I could think of at the time...:p
