Had A Good Time Tonight!

[petes03]

I had a couple of my cousins, Zach and Chris, over tonight to hang out. We hung out in the man cave upstairs for a while, just talking and playing guitars. While we were up there, they were studying my pipes and tobacco collection. One of them (Chris) started opening jars and smelling them. He was attracted to the aros and burleys, so I asked if he wanted to smoke a bowl. He asked if he could pick a pipe to smoke, and I said yes of course. I told him which pipes were in the aro section and let him pick. He ended up picking a Savinelli "614KS" Roma Lucite, to which I said "good choice". My cousin Zach wasn't interested in the pipes, but I had a couple of cigars laying around, and he picked one of those.
So, off to the basement we went! We got out the card table ( an old desk) and some chairs, fired up the space heater, brought out some cards and beer, and had a great time!

I'm usually stuck smoking in the basement by myself, so it was a real treat to have a guys night, smoking pipes and cigars with company!
By the way, the tobacco Chris ended up picking was Scotty's Butternut Burley, and he loved it as well as the pipe!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Sounds like a great time.

Butternut Burley was indeed a fine choice.

Thanks 05! He really seemed to enjoy it, and went on about how well the pipe smoked! He's actually smoked a pipe before, but it was some years ago and he had a couple of really cheap pipes and not so good tobacco.

Now that sounds like a fun evening! I smoke by myself 99% of the time, some company would be nice.

 

[petes03]

Yep Jones, it is very nice to have somebody to smoke with!

Well, today has not been so good!

We had Thanksgiving lunch with my wife's side of the family at around 12:30. Of course, while we were there we had the game on, and I had to watch my Packers get the crap beat out of them! After we ate, I started to feel nauseous, I already had a terrible sinus headache.
My family's dinner was supposed to be at 5:30, but when we got home to get the food to take over there, I got to feeling worse! I ended up calling my Dad and my cousin to tell them we were not coming.

It really sucks! I was looking forward to going, but I just felt awful. The thing that really sucks, is that I already know I won't be able to go to the Christmas Eve dinner over there either! I'll bu stuck at work!
I hope y'all had a better Thanksgiving than I did!

Don't beat yourself up, Pete... I had hot dogs. Sounds like the night before was good though

Hey Dan, Chin up mate, I hope you fell better soon.

 

[petes03]

Thanks guys! I'm feeling a little better now that I've spent the last several hours on the couch.

 

[petes03]

Well, I've been up all night long, laying on the couch, and I'm finally feeling a lot better! Since I have to work tonight, I stayed up and watched movies. Sometimes it's nice to have some quiet time to myself, so I'm down here in the basement now, having a good pipe and a cold beer before I go to bed. I hope all you Black Friday shoppers have fun today, I'll be thinking of y'all out there battling the crowds, while I'm going to bed! Lol!
