1 1/2 flakes of PS LNF in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard with 9mm filter. I was moving a large potted plant on my porch and accidentally knocked the pipe off the ashtray and it fell beside the porch knicking a tiniest chip on the topside surface near the rim. The outside of the pipe has become extremely dry and brittle so I will have to wipe it down and oil it up a bit. I may use the opportunity to re-do the finish. But maybe not today. First, I have to select another pipe to smoke while doing that ! ;) Everyone have a great day !

Half way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats and unloaded the dishwasher, too. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Yes, that is very trim for six feet. Wow, glad to hear that the method works well for you. My weight and waist size has stayed fairly consistent over the years. Only one size difference from when I played ball in college back in the Jurassic era.... But I have never tried the alternating days approach.

I was thinking that maybe you were slipping bites of food to the cats on the side..... :LOL:
I don't feed human food to cats. I learned that lesson from our earlier batch of cats we had.

Did a set of walking reps on this sunny, humid day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Daisy the Feral Princess body blocked the deck steps, Harry the Hairy stood driveway guard, and Tomato the Brave kept coming up for a brief head scratch. Didn't gain as much weight from yesterday's off diet day so I'll have an off diet lunch.

Years ago, we had a cat named Buster who was a feline garbage disposal. Every time I ate a salad with Thousand Island dressing, he'd try to get at it. Drove me crazy. One time, m'lady had made a lemon meringue pie. I had one bite left when she asked me a question. Buster was on the arm of my chair. When I looked at m'lady to answer her question, Buster grabbed the last bite and ate it. He waited for his chance and he took it.

Here's our old pal.

Pretty warm here but OK in the shade with the breeze. 🍃

Enjoying a delightful 75/25 (eyeballed) mix of Sutliff Z50 Black Cordial 🍒 and Robert McConnell Pure Cuba 🍂 in a Peterson SPD 2011 (221). May not be to everyone's taste, but def pleasing to my palette. 🎨

Iced black tea with evap milk. 🧋

Started the morning by popping a tin of Balkan Saseini for the first time - not bad! ...
Balkan Sasieni was one of the first (or the first) Latakia blends I tried (maybe 10 yrs ago?). I really liked it! 👍🏽

Enjoyed a medium cheese pizza with a small bowl of vanilla bean ice cream and a golden delicious apple lunch. I'm smoking 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.
