rings getting a bit worn. Does it puff blue on start up? Maybe just start out with a head job and see if it makes any difference

Carbeuretor (fuel) related smoke would be black, not blue at all. Besides, a well-tuned engine shouldn't really be smoking ever. That's oil you're burning.
What kind of RPMs are you turning?

Sounds like the engine is just showing it's age. I wouldn't worry about it too much, until it starts spitting blue smoke all the time..

Blue / white smoke out the tail pipe = oil
Black smoke out the tail pipe = fuel Steam out the tail pipe = OH NO!...
