Going to be a long day, sitting in the office babysitting load bank testing and fluid changes on generators at our two pump stations.
At least I brought enough blends it won’t be too boring.
GLP Navigator now…
Starting off my smoking day early with a bowl of pre-2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking KBV Dread Planet 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 123 pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
It’s mostly white in my world today! Some Pegasus in the Legend.
An after-breakfast GLP oriental in an HS Studio freehand before loading up the truck and heading out to visit family today.
2019 Rouxgaroux in my Merchant Service Short Dark Cutty and morning coffee.
Today I did a really stupid tobacco-related thing. I don't know what I was thinking of. I feel I need to make a public confession `and act of contrition... I loaded up this priceless Chinese 'Golden Leaf' basket billiard, machine-crafted in genuine guaranteed wood, with some 2015 Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong shag. The pipe, which I believed had been exorcised of the GH 1792 ghost, was still haunted. One of the most unsatisfying smokes of my life. In fact, I had to dump the latter part of the bowl.
As a possible mitigating factor in this mental aberration, I reckon I was still in shock from a visit to the dentist's a few minutes before, where they performed a serious extraction... not from my mouth, but from my wallet. Yep. Shock. That's what it was. Even so - still head-bangingly sorry. That pipe needs to be destroyed with fire.

It’s a late morning cob and Uhles, with coffee
Beautiful looking pipe - can you tell us a bit about it? Is it ceramic? Enquiring minds want to know.
Looks like you need a flyrod - that hat style is almost de rigeur up her amongst flyfishermen . . . and that gaze says "am I going to fish this run before the hatch ends, or am I going to finish this pipe??"
Decisions, decisions!!
A double whammy real Prince George frontier style fix-suggestion. Go to the nearest real bar, have a dozen or so real beer, pick a fight with a real monster, get the stuffing beat out of you as a real exorcism for your tobacco sins, and a real cheap dental fix for your yap-yap and wallet.
Did a set of walking reps in cold wind, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. It's time for some lunch and coffee.
Hanging out in a ditch to keep out of the wind! Beautiful day if the breeze would behave. Granger in the Rossi.
HU Director’s Cut in a Abe Herbaugh 
Apple Nose Warmer.

Switched from ball caps (de rigeur for heavy equipment operators down here) to boonies after a dermatologist took about 4sq in off the back of my neck about 15yrs agoLooks like you need a flyrod - that hat style is almost de rigeur up her amongst flyfishermen . . . and that gaze says "am I going to fish this run before the hatch ends, or am I going to finish this pipe??"
I like fishing, but younger days spent in wisconsin pulling musky, walleyes, smallmouth and northerns kinda spoiled me so the overcrowded desert reservoirs here don’t do much for me.
Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple for lunch. I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Going to be off line for a short while so a friend can back up all my files for me.
