***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

[OzPiper]

I spent the entire morning assembling a drum set for my youngest despite my only relationship with music so far has been to tune my eldest’s violin

Things we have to do for kids

Yup!

Told my 2 kids that studying music was non-negotiable but they were allowed to choose their instrument

Older boy decided on the Jamaican steel drum - probably thinking there was no way I’d find him a tutor.

Several hours of ringing around and I found him both a drum AND a tutor (a Jamaican lecturer in Carribean music)

Problem then was I had to drive him an hour to his lessons, hang around, then another hour home every Saturday !

But boy, I made sure he stuck to those lessons - for 3 years

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 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. Dunno if I'll have another smoke before bed time. Depends on how much I get done.

No guesses at what you're smoking. But I'm digging that baccyflap!

Thank you. I have three of them all from the 1940s. They are very useful for muling different tobacco around, especially plug that I have just cut up. I historically just carried plug loose in my jacket pocket. However with the lack of 'steam pressing' these days you no longer seem get a shiny black plug, instead the plug seems to be a stack of pressed leaves without any binders that can fall into strange sandwiched sections in the pocket. To avoid these unfortunate occurrences I pre-slice and then rub out that which I will need for the day. Strangely the only thing that hasn't been buggered up by them whose name shall not be mentioned is their twist which seems to be holding up pretty well!
