Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful day, 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. Abner the Eager was waiting for me in the grass. I scooped him up, brought him in to eat, and went walking. He's on top of my chair now. Harry the Hairy stood drive way guard most of the time, but on the last lap, he was waiting one house up from mine for me to come home. He got a little head scratch, and he walked beside me to the house. When he got ahead of me, he slowed down so he could stay beside me. He is such a loving cat to m'lady and me. I wish he was that way to the other ferals.

Some 2013 PS LTF in a Savinelli 707.

Last Wednesday, for the first time in my life, I cracked my phone screen. I ordered a new one which arrived on Saturday, which was a day earlier than the case I ordered was delivered by Bezos’ minions. I spent a nervous Saturday evening trying to make sure I didn’t drop that thing when I was out and about. Apple doesn’t have any skin in the phone case game as far as I know, but I’m convinced they design iPhones to be as slippery as possible. The first level of protection a case provides is some goddamned friction

Good June to day all a day late! Yesterday was spent with Peterson Flake in a big-bowled Upshall P Dublin with pencil shank and eighth-bent tapered stem. Started today with Reiner Sweet Mystery in the sacrificial Charatan birdseye Poker with saddle stem.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am near the half way 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. Got an amazing, previously unknown to me, super rare tin in the mail. Gotta decide on what pipes to use for it.

Boy, you have said a mouthful with this.....

I generally have one variation of Otter Box cover on my iPhones but on those rare occasion when I carry it "naked" it is as slippery as an eel. I know it is tougher than I am thinking, but it just feels so thin and fragile. I've yet to break a screen but now that I've said that..... I will break it before bedtime.

Now smoking and reviewing year 2015 Watch City Justice Mixture (15th Anniversary Edition) in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Never knew that this super small batch blend existed until now.

I’m always amazed the rare times mine’s out of a case how death-prone they’re designed. I’ve been having great luck with scamazon NTG cases. Ran Magpul Field until they all dried up.

Anyway, the afternoon has seen a couple more smokes in the Peterson 132: Ryback+P and then some Irish Flake.

I just started a low dose blocker for PVC’s this weekend, I’m hoping that I get used to it soon, my ass is seriously dragging…
