Did a second set of walking reps with plenty of feral drama which I'll write about after I download the photos. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of 2019 Prince Albert in a 2017 smooth, straight medium brown made in France Comoy’s Riband 298 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Following some post office shenanigans, I received my Asteriou birthday pipe a day late. I was going to wait until after Christmas to pay this off, but SP gave me a Black Friday discount even though I already had it on layaway. Fine folks! It was out for delivery on my birthday, but apparently my mail carrier doesn't like collecting customs payments on his route, even though I was home and waiting for him, he stuck a delivery notice in my neighbour's mailbox and said "recipient unavailable." I was a little peeved.

Breaking it in with some D&R Ramback Balkan.

Dang! Our snow melted pretty quick just chilly and yet for now. I'm hoping this mildness doesn't mean we get hammered later lol I'll be ready though! The wife got me a garage heater as one of the Christmas gifts. I only know because they shipped it in the original packaging 🤣
Sitting and smoking in my garage with my garage heater keeping me cozy right now! You'll love it!

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave were waiting for me when I went out to do my walks. I took care of them, and went on my way. Near the end of the walk, Sam the Scamp showed up and walked with me for half a lap. Abner the Eager saw that, and out of jealousy, chased Sam off, and finished the walk with me. I went inside to get them food, and when I looked out the window, Shy Stripesy was eating with Abner by her side. Sam was in the yard at a safe distance watching. Stripesy ran when I came out, and Abner went with her. I put food down for them, grabbed big purring Sam, and took him to the front porch so he could eat in peace. Every time I tried to leave, Sam cried out for me to stay and would start to walk with me so I stayed with him.

As he was finishing up, Abner came over to show his presence as cats will do. Sam was scared, and stayed close to me. I went down the steps to the front yard, and Sam followed me. Sneaky Abner tried hiding behind the bushes, and when I told him to leave Sam alone, he came out, stood still, and acted like an innocent little lamb. Sam stayed by my feet. Abner went to the driveway to bathe himself. Then, Sam and Abner heard leaves rustling, and when they looked to their left, Shy Stripesy was running from the house after eating all the food on the back deck. Abner ran after her. Sam stayed with me until I went inside.

Now smoking Watch City Old Dominion Flake 25th Anniversary in a late 50s, early 60s Comoy’s straight smooth dark brown Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. One of my favorite pipes. I should smoke it more often.
