Resting after a hard day eorkingnin a warehouse loading trucks for the Tour de Palm Springs. My trusty Marxman with Grousemoor Plug. Think Dark Birds Eye withiut the heavy nic hit.
I feared i was witnessing a Grousemoor-induced stroke as I had to look up "eorkingnin." Did not find a definition. You feeling ok? 🧐

Smoking some of my old favorite, Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll in a Blatter & Blatter bent. One red dot.

I've been MIA for a few months. Life got busy. (I am also a soap maker and that has been occupying my time constantly.. At one point in the recent past I had 500 bars of soap in my house.) Anyway, thought I would drop in and see how things were going. I see you been getting along just fine without me. LOL

Now where did I put the folder with all my pipe pics in it?
Good to see you back @Beowoulf ! Love those Blatters!

Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and am passing the half way mark of this bowl of KBV Verge Engine Santa Drive 2021 in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Running low on this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

All the ferals wanted inside due to the cold rain, and I have managed to keep the peace between them this afternoon. It's still cold and raining, and for the second time this evening, Harry the Hairy came around food and attention. He got both. In fact, each time he was so hungry that I doubled what I would normally feed him, and Harry ate every single morsel. I wish I could let him inside, but we’ve enough trouble with too many ferals indoors as you will see.

None of the ferals (except for Tomato the Brave) got along with each other nor did Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger get along with them this evening. Daisy always waits and watches for a chance to go after Sam the Scamp, who growls at everybody mostly out of fear. She does that much less to Abner the Eager, who is a mellow fellow. Lately, she’s gone after the high strung Molly who is less than half her size. She tried that again, and out she went. Daisy knows she’s going out when she misbehaves because she runs straight to the back door when chastised. I let her back in when Molly went to the bedroom to sleep, and so far, Daisy has behaved. She knows she’s not allowed the bedroom, and doesn’t go there.

Since Daisy and occasionally Tomato the Brave are the only ferals who get wet food, it becomes a problem if other ferals are inside at their feeding time. I spent a lot of time keeping them separate for that, and in general. After Harry the Hairy returned to eat, Daisy snuck out the door as I was going in. There was a fight in the yard, and instead running away from Daisy as Harry usually does, he went after her when she started the trouble. Daisy ran up on the deck to escape.

Tomato heard it all, and wanted out to see what was happening. Abner took the opportunity to go out, too, and Sam was right behind him. I got tired of standing around in two different rooms at various times while trying to watch a movie with m’lady. It took over two and a half hours to watch an hour and twenty minute movie because of this. Except for Daisy and maybe Tomato, they are staying outside for the night. Why none of them stay in the heated outdoor houses we had made for them is a mystery, but the constant indoor drama is something we’ll have address to lessen the overall stress on all of us. It even wore out Tomato the Brave. :)

Enjoyed a tasty Snap Dragon apple, and smoked a bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. With any luck, I'll end the day with this smoke.

Good morning. We start with the first third of Capstan Gold, in a MM Diplomat. Today the wind is quite uncomfortable. Temperatures are very unstable, you go from cold to summer heat in a matter of hours. I accompany it with a glass of Spanish red wine, before lunch. I wish you a happy weekend. May God protect and bless you always.1562159592684.jpg
