Enjoying a chill, peaceful morning with PS LNF and a cup of coffee. It's going to be a beautiful day.

Couldn't sleep, so I'm up and am half way through this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a 2018 full bend smooth natural Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade with a silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. It was supposed to snow this morning, but as usual our local "In-accuweather" channel was wrong. They claim they've won an award of having the most accurate forecasts of any city in the Triad for 11 straight years. I claim sheep fly south for the winter, too, and I was only right about that once.

Good morning! Starting the day with C&D Bayou Morning Flake from 2020 in my Nikolay Kozyrev bent brandy.

Boy, Jim, you woke up spicy this morning....... ha.
Now I'm curious about the one time that you were correct on the sheep flying south.............

Half way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed everybody except for the absent Tomato the Brave. Got a late start to the day as I never heard the alarm go off.

Today is my wife's birthday. She's currently sitting in the chair at our local tattoo shop, getting a new piece on her foot.


I'm sitting outside in my camp chair with some Horizons in a new Anse from Eric Mills and a good book on my kindle. I'll be back in there with her shortly.


With my in-laws handling the kiddos, I'm also taking her to see Allen Stone and Ripe at Minglewood Hall this evening. Couldn't pass that up with them playing on her birthday.

I don't generally smoke in the middle of the day except for weekends. On work days (Mo-Th), I'm generally too busy and I only take 30 minutes for lunch, which is enough time to eat, but not much else.

It's one reason why I enjoy my Fridays so much-- run errands in the morning, take it easy in the afternoon, and in the evening it's either a gig somewhere, or quality time with the Wife.

Continuing the dig into my cellar, my post-lunch smoke for the day is one of my very favorite pairings--

McClelland 2030 Balkan in a Sasieni 4-Dot Ruff Root. Although this is a later-era "4-Dot" and not a classic Family-era "Four-Dot", It's still a really, really great pipe that I have bench-trained for English and Balkan Blends exclusively.

Really despising this Mad Fiddler Flake. It’s absolutely horrible. You should all stay away from this .
