While out doing some scouting, I smoked a bowl of year 2020 D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Just got back, and am almost half way through another bowl of the same, which is a rarity for me. The ferals were waiting for m'lady and me when we returned and they've eaten now. Tomato the Brave came running and yipping and yapping almost like a dog, the silly fella.
We’re still drying out here in Milwaukee from Saturday/Sunday mornings storms tho this mornings storms did not help. I’m grateful that I only had a little bit of water in the basement that my dehumidifier handled. Many of my friends had flooded basements. If it holds up to scrutiny, a spot on the NW side of the city had 14.5” of rain in 24hrs which would set an all time record for Wisconsin, but most of the hardest hit areas had 9-11” of total rain. Still a hell of a lot of water.
Some pics from my bike ride yesterday:
in the two pics with my bikes where all the water is, that’s not where the river goes! All the grass that’s covered is picnic area for people to enjoy. The top pic is a log jam under one of the pedestrian bridges. All of the pedestrian bridges have been impacted in some way or anotger.
I should have taken more pics because it was just mindblowing what such a small river can turn into with the amount of rain we received.
Anyways this morning I’m having a bowl of Sherlock Holmes in a Brebbia ‘1960’ Nera Sabbiata bent bulldog with a cup of hot coffee.

From last night... Gawith Commonwealth in a newly acquired Falcon.
Started the day with some 2023 C&D The Beast in a Dunhill Shell Briar bulldog and an iced coffee.
Wow, that is a terrible storm. I didn't realize that y'all got rains like that in Wisconsin. Glad your place dodged the damage.

Good morning! Coffee, burley, cob.
Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake (2013) in Nording half sandblasted billiard, with an iced Americano (30 g espresso to 60 g ice).
Thanks! No, we typically don’t get these kinds of storms, but we do get a lot of crazy weather from time to time whether it’s tornado spawning thunderstorms, blizzards, or cold snaps dropping us down into double digit negative temps.
This storm, this was something we rarely see.
Finally, some relief from the heat this morning--cool enough to sit outside with my pipe! Continuing to try out some simple blending components. This morning, Sutliff TS6 White Burley.
Enjoyed a few bowls of RTW Sunrise Select, now starting on RTW Oak&Ember.
