Puffing away on Friday
Good morning to you all on a hazy day here on the southern bit of the Dark one. Some possibility of rain today, thank goodness. I'm finishing my morning bowl of EMP in the Pete 2008 POY. It's a long smoke in a really big pipe - quite suitable for kicking one's butt in the morning. On the side, some Douwe Egbert - my second cup. And then, hi-ho it's off to work I go. Enjoy your day.

Me thinks that Lars' disease might be contagious. Maybe later. Enjoy whatever you are having and enjoy your day.

Oh no! It's spreading!
I will load a bowl of Mac Baren Mixture in a randomly selected pipe tonight and see how it goes. This must be stopped!

Not real sure what's going on yet but Haunted Bookshop is sounding pretty good. Maybe OJK a bit later today but yeah the morning smoke will HB. Perhaps a bit of the evil lip weed in between. Yeah, that's good.

the affliction of our African and Scandinavian members has not yet immobilized some of us in the western Hemisphere. Pockets of resistance of Les Fumeurs du Monde has been strengthened by 2 bowls this AM, both of them H&H in smaller #11 KWs on the drive to work. About 54F this AM and the clear crisp chill morning air required an immediate antidote. Actually, one bowl was a DGT from last night, when I promptly fell to sleep during the stirring oratory of those two escapees from Madame Tussaud's Museum. When I awakened, the demon Peke was sitting in front of me, leash in mouth, convincing me that his nightly perambulation was time better spent. It was.
Fair winds and full pipes, friends

The leaves are turning & falling here in Connecticut. I'm puffin' on OJK in my Friday Savinelli bulldog.
I bought a camcorder yesterday and am off to shoot some footage! What a difference from the JVC video recorder I bought twenty years ago!

I better load up the smoke stack with some ERRd, I really do not want to attract that.... thing... that Lars and Olivier is currently under the spell of.
woke up late today and DGT'd some cob plug, just to get a pulse.
If I have not seen as far as others, it's because giants have been standing on my shoulders.
I've been doing this lately: starting a VA or a Va/Per during lunch and then leaving the rest dgting for the evening commute ... last night when driving home from work I finished off the bowl sitting in my car beside a beautiful fresh water lake ... very nice end to the work day. Think I'll do the same today. Maybe sit by the ocean instead though. Not sure what the tobacco / pipe combo will be though ... whatever grabs me when I head downstairs I guess.

Man have I been turned around since our move last weekend. Can't find a thing. What is not in a box is in strange places.
This morning I'm smoking PA in a BC. And brought along some OJK and another Lorenzo pipe for the day. Enjoy your smokes today.
Regards,
Dave
Sure beats ciggs!
I need to finish getting gutters put up on the house. I have one 20 foot run left to do. It is raining now so that will have to wait. I suppose I am stuck smoking pipes and drinking coffee for the better part of today. Tough duty but someone has to do it.

smoking my birthday meerschaum with va #1. wondering what am i going to do this weekend. besides watch football. :)
a half fill of edb (everyday blend) at noon but it tasted like poo. A quarterfill of assegai after supper tasted a bit better but not as good as it should. Don't want to waste my last bit of Sobranie so, maybe tomorrow.......

Drink one of these before it is too late!!
Get tail of rat
and eye of newt
cut wing from bat
add Succotash root
Mix testicle from bull
with one green frog
pinch of lamb's wool
and leg of dog
On a mountain top where the sun has rose
blend on high till the green frog croaks.
Then raise thy cup, hold your nose, down the hatch it all goes.
Pack your pipe, light a match, and enchantment returns to thy smokes.
These are the words that have been passed down through the ages. It is only the dire situation with Lars and Olivier that prompts me to reveal this most ancient cure.
Fume in pace, ckr

So it's off to the village Sangoma I go to get the ingredients. I only hope she's got all the ingredients in stock. Wouldn't want to substitute any of those fine ingredients for anything ghastly AND risk that the potion would lose it's power.

My wife, SheWhoSpeaksLoudly or SWSL, is a product of old school Catholicism, when the slightly psychotic good sisters would abhor the idle and the happy, and find much to be done, even if dull and repetitve. Line forms to the very far right!
