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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken primavera and sugar snap peas dinner with a bowl of freshly made chocolate pudding for dessert. I'm smoking and reviewing C&D Kringle’s Delight (Winter Reserve 2024) in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. It's too humid for coffee tonight, so my drink is ice water and bergs. Watching the World Series with Sleepy Suzy by my side.

My next door neighbor told me that she saw Abner the Eager in her yard yesterday, and he looked fine to her. She didn't know about his paw, and wasn't close enough to tell anything, but at least I know he was around.

Today (Fri, Oct 25) was one of those days where everything just came up smelling like roses.
NOTE: Some days, you hit every Red Light ... then there are days, like today, where you hit every Green Light.
Got 2 RF checks in the mail, plus found out State of MN will RF me what I recently paid for new license plate tabs after just selling the vehicle.

So, celebrated the good fortune with a scrumptious meal = 1/2lb boneless pork chop pan fried with bacon, then placed on a single piece of Russian Rye smeared with plain yellow mustard, a glass of Canadian Whisky alongside with a splash of brandy adding a nice touch of sweetness. Hmm, kind of like a Home Blend. Some strawberry frozen Yogurt is waiting for late dessert.
NOTE: Influenced by my Forum Brothers here, I'm searching for Russian Caravan tea.

As mentioned in late Sept, Oct's been mostly a Cob Month - seems appropriate - plus enjoying a bit of a foray into my aro jars. Got my MM Apple Diplomat stoked with Ashton Smooth Sailing. Fireplace (gas) going. Leaves have really dropped. Some nights, temps have dipped into the 40's = nice sleeping! Oct's beauty segueing towards Nov's stunning beauty.
NOTE: Would appreciate it if no questioning from Forum Brothers along the lines of, "WTH are you talking about 'Nov Beauty' ... the grayest, cloudiest, most dismal month of the year!" I harbor enough of this controversy from local friends & family. Thank You ahead of time (!!!).

That repurposed pouch should make @The Clay King happy.

If you ever decide you don’t like this pipe, let me know!

The similarities of student and teacher. So cool! I hope Manduela passes these skills on to a student! View attachment 344463

I sincerely hope so,too.

Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. The injured Freddie Freeman hit a game winning grand slam in the bottom of the tenth inning on the first pitch. The Yankees walked Mookie Betts to face Freeman, who made them pay for that. Wow!

Mama came home with a broken regulator on her car.
NM403 and Match Victorian went through the Ropp J04 Etudiant while during the process of feeding horses and securing window until I can get a new regulator in.
