Good Morning and a Happy Thanksgiving to All! It's 36° here with a clear, starry sky. I'm closed for the holiday so no chores are on the list, but feasting certainly is late this afternoon. Starting the smoking day with a bowl of Limerick Flake in the BBB Freestyle half-bent smooth pot and there's a fresh travel mugga coffee tucked underneath my jacket. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday everyone! Happy Turkey Day, Russ. Same to you, Urb.

Good Morning Again! It's still 36° here right now, but the clouds have moved across the sky. I'm smoking a bowl of Straight Grain Flake in the BBB Freestyle and there's some coffee left in the mug. Time to check the headline news before heading back to the house.

No pipes for me for a couple weeks. Had some shoulder repairs yesterday. Feeling pretty miserable. Surgeon said not to smoke while I’m healing. I hope everyone has a peaceful Thanksgiving. Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Started the day with a bowl of Haunted Bookshop in the Thursday cob and coffee. The turkey is in the oven and I'll be helping my wife with all the other preparations. The family will be over early in the afternoon. I hope you all have a great day!

I tried C&D VA Flake recently and was quite surprised at how great it was. Have you tried it? If so, how do you compare the two?

Since we only stream and don’t watch live tv, we have the Channel 4 app on our AppleTV specifically to use on Thanksgiving morning to watch all 3 hours of coverage. Our traditional T-day breakfast is Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls.

I tried C&D VA Flake recently and was quite surprised at how great it was. Have you tried it? If so, how do you compare the two? I've tried C&D Opening Night and it was a bit rough for me. HH Pure VA Flake, I find, has a smoother body and is just right for my first pipe most mornings.

I’m the complete opposite. I love Opening Night (it needs at least a year in the tin) and dislike HH Pure Va.

Good advice. I refrained from smoking when I had my two shoulder surgeries, and the healing process exceeded expectations.
