Windy, cold, occasional drizzle. And So To Bed (sample) in my Savinelli Bacco 321 bent author, while I clean up horsey's corral. Very happy for the typical May freeze we get here in the SoCal mountains...kills off all the flies and their eggs.

Bird report: California towhee, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Common raven, House finch, and Mourning dove.

Just cracked the tin for the first time, Astleys 109, in a Radice Rind Straight.

Now I’m trying to figure out what the heck happened to these flakes compared to 44, at his post; 🤔


Be well everyone! ❤️

Tired from a long day at work but feeling very good now that I'm home. Relaxing with a bowl of Watch City Rougaroux in a Dr. Grabow Hillcrest.

First try of Peterson Irish Flake in my unknown Meer' and I'm loving it.

When last chatting with my tobacconist, I asked for a flake I haven't tried yet, "for you it's a no brainer, Peterson Irish Flake, trust me you'll love it"

He knows me well and looks after me so I didn't hesitate.
And yet again he was right.
.... I've clearly been living under a rock.
