I was surprised I didn't gain any weight from yesterday's off-diet day, so I enjoyed a double meat pastrami sandwich and a pickle with the last chocolate eclair for lunch. I'm close to finishing this bowl of Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in an undated straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

John Bull Royal English in a Johs bent freehand with plateau on the brim and shank. This is a pleasing mild English blend that didn't need a charing light. It's in the upper eighties in central North Carolina, with days gradually cooling off for the next week. I'm in shorts and short sleeves. After a few chores, I've been watching two youTube videos on sharpening knives, mostly for my folding knives, Case, Remington, and others. I'm trying to refrain from buying a Buck pocket knife. Nothing too fancy, to tote around the world. Knife sharpening is a real Zen exercise, kind of like yoga or meditation, working the burr back and forth. For now, I'm leaving my wife's chef knives to the pro's.

Vegas Baby!!!
Pretty tough day on the job. But I survived and when I got home a pipe awaited me. It’s a late 1800’s Meer with Bone Stem. I destroyed a Kiko pipe to harvest a tenon adapter. Pipes are tools and functional art. Yes, I destroyed a pipe. It’s okay. After this smoke the pipe is going off for a proper stem. I’m keeping the bone stem, so take a deep breath.

Oh yeah, going with Capstan Blue
