Guess I didn't believe what I was reading! ?
I've been smoking St. Bruno Ready Rubbed in my clay pipe and I've got a packet of the flake sent by a forum member but haven't tried it yet, but my packet of St. Bruno was delicious in my clay!
Gawith Hoggarth & Co Bob’s Chocolate ? Flake in a MM Legend Cob
A quarter of the way through this bow of Prince Albert in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent. Watching The Untouchables.
Heading to the deck with some GLP Fillmore in a Peterson 312. Can’t get enough of this blend!
Now smoking MacBaren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Unless something serious has happened, I don’t watch the news on Sundays. This evening, I had The Lawrence Welk Show on PBS playing in the background, followed by Columbo on MeTV. I fell out of a television mood after this, so I moved my huge Yeti of iced tea out to the back porch. There’s been barely any traffic noise from South Airport Road down the hill, and it’s warm like bath water out here, so I set up the iPad to listen to some old time radio. I started with a couple disturbing episodes of Theater 5 (a ‘60s show that played on ABC radio, and rarely ended happily), followed by an a creepy episode of The CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
I could swear, shortly into Act II, that I heard a screaming or wailing in the distance. I paused the show for a moment, and was met with relative silence. I touched the play icon to continue. Two or three minutes later, while tipping back some cold tea, much closer, not far enough to echo:
”WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
I nearly knocked the Yeti off the table jumping up, a chill in my gut, the hair standing on the back of my neck. I reached for my iPhone to flash a light on the horror not yards from where I sat.
I barely caught glimpse of it, but it was just a fox or coyote running from a skunk. Just nature messing with me, after I got myself worked up listening to old creepy radio shows. I never see foxes out here, and coyotes are a rare sight. The comic timing of wildlife is still intact. Boy, though, for a moment it scared the hell out of me!
Anyway, I was working on, and am still working on, some Mac Baren Club Blend in a Peterson Deluxe System 11s (Sandblasted). I even snapped an image a couple hours ago, knowing I’d tell you what I was smoking ... and not knowing I’d have a story to go along with it.
I headed in the use the bathroom and have a good laugh, came back out, played catch up with this thread, and decided to share. I can hear neighbors muttering nearby. I think that they heard the commotion out here. I think I’ll finish that CBSRMT episode now ...
