That came out looking fantastic! Did you use a heat gun?
Thanks! And YES, a heat gun, exactly. I was needing an excuse to add a heat gun to my toolbox anyway. 😹 I just got it, during Harbor Freight's Black Friday weekend sale, so their cheap $20 heat gun was only $10‼️ Not sure if you have H.F. up in Idaho, but it's a great little store for all your basic tools at decent prices.

Last smoke of the day is year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight family era 1950s Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess. When I was cleaning pipes, Tomato the Brave jumped on my lap, but I had to move him so I could do my work. He laid on the arm of my chair for a few minutes, and then jumped down and laid on my feet. I got the message, and when I finished cleaning pipes, I gave him some attention. After that, Tomato wanted out. Harry the Hairy finally woke up, ate, looked around and went out. I'm reading while this bowl lasts.

Good morning! It’s sunny, beautiful 38F. All us Florida cold weather wimps are whining. This afternoon we’ll be in shirt sleeves enjoying a warm and sunny mid 60‘s afternoon. Life is full of these little lessons. You need 30 to appreciate 60. The blessing is 30. Quit your complaining! Burliest burley in this cob. Good strong black Eight O’Clock Coffee.
