02 Screw 4.6L V8 .... smoke?

Every so often (about once a month "that I notice"), I crank of my screw and get a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust.
It's happened after a short shut down rest and long over nighter. Yet, again, it is kind of seldom. Maybe once or twice a month or two. It's just on initial start up and then clears up almost imediately at idle. 95,000 on odo.

What's this mean and should i be freakin out ?

Thanks!

yup nothing major. just keep an eye on the oil level just in case, and your good. since its just at startup and rarely does it, then i cant see you needing to top it off, but its always good to check.
