***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

[JimInks]

Just finishing this bowl from a freshly opened mylar of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2022 in a straight smooth medium brown year 1912 Henry Tongue billiard with a tapered amber stem and an orific bit. Tomato the Brave was snoozin' on m'lady's stretched out La-Z-Boy chair so he didn't notice Harry the Hairy got on it as far away as he could. That lasted about a hour when Tomato woke up, and hissed at Harry. Harry jumped off the chair, and after roaming around the den and kitchen, wanted out. Tomato used to be very scared of Harry, but not any more. Both of them chase each other off at varying times, mostly due to jealousy now. Before that, Harry was a big bully, and even though he's somewhat settled down, he still has some feral in him. He also has more sweetness than he used to toward us, and is still learning on that score.

They are great. Been forever since I've been to the brewery, but I do pick up their elixers from time to time. Always coming out with new, interesting stuff. Btw, love the updated profile pic, albeit scary as heck. Perfect for Halloween!
