***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

[JimInks]

Near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave was in play mode, so I threw catnip balls around the den. What he didn't catch, he chased and furiously batted around. M'lady had her chair extended out so she could lay back before she went to bed. I took a blanket and covered the front of it like a curtain. Tomato got behind it, and from the other side, I poked at the blanket with my hand. Tomato kept trying to grab my hand and after about eight or nine times, he decided it was more fun to attack the blanket, chewing and bunny kicking it until he wore out. Now, he's just laying there, exhausted li'l fella.

Near the first quarter of this bowl of year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a straight smooth brown post-WW2 LHS Purex Superfine 74 Canadian with a metal screw-in tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Harry the Hairy came in to eat, but he only nibbled a little. After that, he wanted attention, which I gave him. Now, he's laying near my feet. Tomato the Brave is still under the blanket. Daisy the Feral Princess is outside on her favorite chair. Sleepy Suzy just jumped down from my chair to eat. Molly Danger is in bed snoozin' with m'lady. She was in the den for quite a while tonight. I'm going to clean pipes soon if the cats let me. I would have done so earlier, but they really wanted attention tonight.

I've passed the last third of this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked, and the model that he smoked it in. Tomato the Brave wanted to fight again so he got on one side of the hanging blanket and "yipped" at me. I got on the other side and hit the blanket a few times. He kept grabbing my hand until he finally decided to chew on the blanket. Guess he thought that the blanket tasted better than wet food. When he got out, he bit my foot, ran to my chair, and waited for me to sit down so he could lay on my feet.

Just finished smoking year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in a straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Tomato the Brave finally settled down after he ate, and is snoozin' by my side. Sleepy Suzy wasn't thrilled about that. She's snoozin' on m'lady's chair. Getting ready to read baseball box scores.

Double post due to lousy internet connection. I'd blame Tomato the Brave, but he's snoozin' on the couch.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I'll end the day with this smoke. Fed Daisy the Feral Princess outside. Harry the Hairy came in to eat and is chasing a moth around the kitchen.
