sounds pretty good. What ratio of the blends did you use?

If I recall correctly it was about a 1 to 1 ration. No scale, but just an approximate as I had about an ounce of Mac Baren Mature Virginia, about an ounce of Old Dark Fired, and about an ounce of St. Bruno. It's a nice mix, but I think it taste better in my corn cobs than my meers and briars.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through 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 50th, neat, is my drink. Abner the Eager came out of hiding behind the couch to get a little attention, and then went back to snoozin'. The other ferals are outside. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Getting ready to watch UFC 313, Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev, which we were unable to watch live yesterday—there was a party we had to attend in Brooklyn—Lock Yard, the bar where Susan and I met in August of 2017 is closing today. Last night was the big farewell party. Susan and I had talked about having our wedding there if we ever decided to make things official. That was now an impossibility. News of their closing only became known a couple days ago. We got there about 4:30 pm. A little after 9:30 pm, I made a toast to the bar, our friends, and talked about a health scare I had last year that reminded me of the importance of the people in your life, and followed things up with the next best thing given the circumstances:


Going to have Sutliff 175th Anniversary The Old Boss in an unbranded French Bulldog Magnum (stamped Racine de Bruyère Marque Déposée), with a horn stem with bone tenon and orific bit, circa late 19th–early 20th Century.

Woke up still a bit squiffy, up till 4 in the morning salivating over pipes I want, smoking and drinking cider .
Poured some vodka in my clogged up small Peterson pokers and Sarome. All unblocked but the draw on the Sarome is awful.
I'm enjoying a bowl of G&H apple twist in my small Duncan with a glass of strong cider and bluegrass in my headphones.
Hmmm . . . I think we've all been there and done that. Hang in there. It'll get worse before it won't get better. 😶‍🌫️😐 Just don't listen to any Schoenberg, whatever you. And continue to drink heavily.
