Smoking King B Twist in a Dr. Grabow Crown Duke. As I sit on my ass and take it easy.. I fell down the stairs yesterday during a rain storm. That fresh paint got me. Overall, I was just lucky I didn't break my neck. Landed right on my rump, but I'm good and brusied up. Work will just have to wait.

Keep an eye on yourself and see a doctor right away if you start having any swelling. I did the same tumble and landing many years ago on crunches with a broken ankle, the landing on my butt caused a dvt in the other leg which I didn't find out about until later !! You may not think its serious because you're generally tough otherwise, so am I, but freak falls cause freak results. Just a word of caution from a fellow slip and fallee ... Hope you feel better soon and it wasn't like mine ! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I may be wrong but it sounded like you said you painted your steps. This could be a reoccurring problem. I would suggest applying a second d
coat with some play sand mixed in the paint.

Oh yea. That's what I did. I have been going around warning everyone to be careful and not fixing the problem.. at least it was me and not someone else.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of C&D Sun Bear Mountain Flower in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working on a review of this blend as I watch the Yankees-Mets game.

Last smoke before leaving town tomorrow. PS LBF drying on a paper towel, to go in my Stefano bent Rhodesian. Down to my last half-dozen coins, so this will be a must-buy next month. Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, House finch, California towhee, Red-tailed hawk, Common raven, Western bluebird, and Western kingbird.

Taking the Savinelli Tortuga 614 and a MM Country Gentleman with me, along with Lane RLP-6, Ashton Gold Rush, and GLP Quiet Nights. One never knows what mood will strike me...
