The other evening I went out as usual for my evening bowl. As I have mentioned in other threads, I have a man garage where I smoke. Well I also have a man cave but I can't smoke in it. Anyway, I also use and electric blanket to wrap up in to smoke. I'm a wuss, what can I say.
So I went out to smoke a bowl. Turned the heaters on, turned the electric blanket on high about half an hour before the bowl and got to thinking. My legs get cold cuzz I can't seem to tuck the blanket in tight enough. Hmm, I know! I'll take the bungee thing off the heating pad and use it to wrap the blanket around my legs. Awesome idea. I also sit with a very low wattage lamp turned on sitting on my work table. Fill bowl, go out to garage. Put pipe, matches, lighter tamper on table and proceed to wrap up. Wrap legs with bungee tie. Ah this is the life! Light pipe settle down. Light goes out. No worries, I can smoke in the dark. Drop lighter and tamper. DAMNATION! From the sound the lighter made as it hit the concrete floor, I think it went toward the car. Stand up forgetting the bungie cord wrapped around my legs and fell on my face. I was able to protect my pipe, (priorities here my smoking pipe guys not my other pipe) but slam dunk my bad shoulder. Cursing in the dark. I try to sit up and the folding camp chair I use decides to fold on my legs still wrapped up in the blanket with the bungee cord. More cussing. Rip off the bungee cord, unwrap the blanket but the bottom of the blanket was under one of my feet and I slipped down again. Curses get more strident and well, richer in color. I fumble over to the light switch across the garage in the dark and flick the light on. Pipe is in my hand (smoking) but the tobacco is scattered across the concrete. Dam waste of Latakia Flake. Should I try and scoop it off the floor or get a fresh bowl? Naw, I'll scoop. Don't wanna waste it. After scooping I realized there was too much garage detritus in the mix but wondered if it would enhance or detract from the smoking enjoyment? Settled on dumping it and going with a bowl of NightCap instead.
Dam garage. Dam blanket. Dam bungee cord.
This really happened. I'm not making it up. Decided I needed a finger or three of single malt to settle myself down.
