Dale the cat knows exactly how to relax! Smart fellow.

Good morning. A bit disconnected lately. I am smoking a mb virginia flake bowl, in a Charles Cobbler MM. This is going to be a tough Christmas, as my brother, who is 55 years older than me, is in the hospital very seriously, with an irreversible illness. I just wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May love, the warmth of family, friends and loved ones reign in your homes. May peace reign in your hearts. May God bless and protect you always, dear friends.

The sound of garbage and recycle trucks making tons of noises woke me up. Sleepy Suzy, who was snoozin' next to me wanted to eat, so I got up to feed her and Molly Danger. I looked out the window and saw that two big, thick, empty cardboard boxes must have fallen out of the recycle bin when they picked up. They left them in the middle of street instead of doing their job so I went and got them. It's rather cold out there, and Daisy the Feral Princess, Tomato the Brave and Sam the Scamp let me know they were hungry, so I had to feed each at a distance so all could eat in peace. By this time, I'm wide awake so I decided to smoke the one Charatan that I missed smoking yesterday. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with almost a pound of pecan pie and a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a 1970s smooth brown slight bent rough top Charatan's Make (Lane) Perfection Deluxe Extra Large with right and left channel cuts and a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Gold Star Yemen Red Mocha Harrazaa+, neat, is my drink. Have enough left for a small batch. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

I let Sam the Scamp in the house so he could eat without being bullied away. After he did, he jumped in my lap and had a snooze.

I’m very sorry to hear that. We lost my brother at age 49, I think I have an idea of what you are going though.

Now that pipe looks like a dragon's egg. I love it.

Hey @jpmcwjr unlocked the How To Get a Thread Locked thread! Irony is alive and well, it turns out.

It's been a gradual recovery from this damned respiratory virus. Lack of nicotine may be the problem! I had some KBV Jim's Special Flake in a Sav, followed by some 2017 Rattray's Black Mallory in a Musicò pot, and then half a bowl of KBV Peaty Hunt in my Asteriou cutty. One more gig, then 2.5 weeks of vacation! Woohooooooo!

Feel better sir. Took me a while to get over the virus too. Nasty stuff. Good Holidays to you.
