Now smoking 1970s Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel band with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit. Watching an episode of Ellery Queen.

Very hot and humid day today with Air Quality alert. After sundown and with cooler weather I am enjoying the last bowl of my Sutliff 507-C mix with Lane 1-Q in my reamed and cleaned Vauen Olaf bent egg. Special thanks to @Chasing Embers - I used the sandpaper on dowel method of reaming for the first time and wow, is that a fast, efficient, thorough and surprisingly clean method of reaming. Thank you !

Very nice grain! I thought it was a Radice until I looked closer.

Thank you! It is dedicated to Pegasus.

Going to be a very early morning tomorrow. Hoping this isn't the night my brain decides to keep me up late. Seems to work out that way often enough. Trying to wind down early with an after-dinner bowl of Stonehaven in a Tekin squashed tomato.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess has gone between snoozin' by my feet to laying on my lap, to snoozin' on my feet, to going out and immediately coming back in. Tomato the Brave went out, but when the rain came down harder, he was ready to come back in. Harry the Hairy and Abner the Eager have been snoozin' all this time.


Here's Daisy near my feet.

Rare third smoke today. Fired up a small bowl of Sansepolcro in my Nording 506. Kind of cubed the broken flakes for this bowl. It’s been an ultra peaceful weekend
