Now smoking well aged 4Noggins Bald Headed Teacher in a medium brown, smooth octagonal paneled bowl and shank, medium bend 2016 Tim West Book Keeper 6 with a black acrylic saddle stem. The shape was designed by my great friend, the late Art Arterburn, and gifted to me by him. As soon as I posted my last smoke, I heard banging on my back door. I knew it was Daisy the Feral Princess because she's the only one who does that. She ate, played with a catnip sock, and then rested her head on it for a snooze. Then, she woke up, and just walked to the kitchen for more food. She was very happy to see me and I certainly was happy that she wanted in. Daisy can be a prima donna, but she's always loving towards us.

Now smoking year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Daisy the Feral Princess is till playing with the catnip sock when she's not laying on it. I'm reading baseball box scores.

Roberto Clemente has always been my hero. Imagine the joy of walking on the beautiful Clemente bridge and standing next to the statue of him.

Btw, if you go just past PNC, look to your right, and you'll see a very small park with wonderful relief sculptures.
I’ll put PNC on the agenda. I never got to spend any significant time in Pittsburgh and I’ve only seen that Bridge from the Air.

Couldn't sleep, so I fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Harry the Hairy dry food outside, and gave them fresh water. Did a couple of olther things, too. I've a third of a bowl left of Wilke Wall Street in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.

Enjoy these last 5 years and max out your 401k/IRA contributions. I just learned last year about a "catch up" extra contributions. If you can do those (I think they allow this when you are "old" enough..), max them out, too!
Scott, you are spot on correct about using the "max out" and "catch up" opportunities if at all possible. I did that in my final five years and while it takes a bit of self discipline, it pays back great dividends upon retirement.

Got up at 5:30, made coffee and went out to catch the rising sun (and a morning bat flitting about) with a bowl of Sansepolcro in an SMS. Not sure how much posting i'll be doing in the coming week or two. Going to be doing a stay for a procedure here at MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston. But i'll try to keep up. :)
