About to put the match to an evening bowl of Fusilier's Ration from Hearth & Home in a heavily rusticate bent apple Barok with a sweeping vulcanite stem. English Breakfast Decaf in a large enamel camp mug, 3 bags full.

Relaxing after a wonderful three King Mackerel steaks and some John Wayne casserole with three pieces of m'lady's baklava for dessert. Part way through this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem with a p-lip. Had a light snow dusting earlier today, but it didn't stick to the ground.

H&H Anniversary Kake in a Stanwell 185.

 

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem. Taking a short work break to feed Suzy and Molly, who were meowing for food and attention. In that order, too!

 

[JimInks]

Work is done for the day, and I'm now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Getting ready to read Giddins' second book on Bing Crosby.
