Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a 1999 smooth brown medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem. Giving the 4AB Natural a day off. I'd have typed this sooner, but Sleepy Suzy keeps head butting my wrist while I try to post, the silly girl. Watching the Reds-Royals game before the Braves-Angels game starts. Gold Star Jamaica Blue Mountain Dark Roast, neat, is my drink.

Fed all the ferals after I did my walks. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' on her blanket. Tomato the Brave wanted back outside after he ate. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on m'lady's chair, and has been behaving inside recently, so we are giving him another chance so long as Molly Danger isn't in the same room. Harry the Hairy tried to jump up on my leg when he saw me, and he got a few minutes of attention before I fed him. Outside of Sam the Scamp (who we still miss), none of the ferals are as happy to see me as he is. Wish he had a home he could call his own because he'd sure make somebody happy.
Here's Harry crying for attention.

Love this pipe. Ashton? What are the specs?View attachment 332071
Smoking 2014 Old Ironsides. This stuff is pretty nice for an English with Kentucky. I prefer Brebbia Balkan, but this is still really great. Before this I woke up at 4 AM and wanted something strong for whatever reason so I loaded a small bowl of Dark Flake Aromatic-an explosion of smooth Kentucky, nicotine, and licorice! It really hits the spot every now and then.
That is a truly outstanding Eltang, @Ben.R.C . Just beautiful!Chenet’s cake in an Eltang. Happy weekend and happy smokes!

It’s a custom Northern Briars Rox-cut regal Lovat. It’s about 4.8 inches long, but the bowl lasts about 45-to an hour long. My Dunhill group 2 has a smaller bowl on it. I love Ian’s pipes, one of the best custom English pipes and value in the business. You can order a custom pipe for 200 bucks such as this one.Love this pipe. Ashton? What are the specs?
Agreed, Probably my top piece.That is a truly outstanding Eltang, @Ben.R.C . Just beautiful!
Don’t mean to butt in, but make that three! I started the morning taking my old Tacoma to the car wash for a deluxe with wax and undercarriage anti-corrosive wash, vacuumed out the interior, then after a dry-off drive (one excuse is as good as another), cleaned the inside of my windows with Windex and gave the dash and center console a solid wipe-down with ArmorAll protectant. You’d think I installed new glass onto the 25-year-old beast.Two people I now know who clean their own vehicles........ me & you !![]()
