You're gonna need a stronger blend after syncing those puppies.
We’ll at least I would

Near the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Watching the Braves-Rangers game. Fed all the cats except for the absent Abner the Eager. M'lady went around all the places we've known him to be around and called and called for him, and talked to a few people. They haven't seen him lately.

Yeah, a few years ago was the last time I really went at it and it was a looooong afternoon/evening. Now I use the bent wire technique (and ears). A lot easier!

The colicky horse was doing much better today and I think we are through the storm with him.
Wanted a good Virginia so I did some Faulkner Flake in my Comoy's model 185 sandblast.

I enjoyed a bowl of Wilke No. 524 (old stock with Syrian Latakia) in my 1980s Upshall rusticated Zulu, while visiting with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies.
It was a fun session of conversation and camaraderie.

Last one for me today. Riverboat Gambler in the Brebbia Ninja Noce. Drinking black coffee after a nice dinner of Chicken Pad Thai. Had a piece of Chocolate, this Riverboat Gambler gonna hit the spot, and I'm gonna watch a movie.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl from a new opened jar of year 2014 Strang in a 2003 smooth light brown medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's lap. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' with his belly and paws in the air in front of the TV entertainment center. The others are outside.

Pee Dee in this Peterson Donegal Rocky 150. Diet Dr. Pepper. I am growing more fond of Pee Dee. I think it benefitted from a few weeks. Extreme heat warnings for Florida northern gulf coast. I know it’s hot where many of you are. This too shall pass. Stay safe!

Is Faulkner Flake a Country Squire blend? Never tried any of their blends. Thinking of placing an order.
