What Are You Smoking Pages.

Did a second set of walking reps, and met a nice young couple who were at my driveway taking photos of the ferals. We had a very fun, long conversation about a lot of things. Very enjoyable. Being the friendly street ambassador that he is, Tomato the Brave went right up to them. I learned that they feed ferals, and have occasional visits from Harry the Hairy, Sam the Scamp and Abner the Eager. I was glad I had pipe tobacco with me, and smoked three bowls of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. All the ferals are inside because Harry the Hairy is in full territorial mode.

Just finished the first try of a chicken casserole with a rice base, peas, and chicken covered in a milk based sauce. After a visit from a friend, and two homemade hard ciders each I'm relaxing with GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy and a cup of coffee.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture early version #1 in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow acrylic stem. We were surprised to find a big bag of dry cat food on our porch. Our neighbors up the street who own several cats decided to help us out with the ferals (they feed ferals, too). What a wonderfully thoughtful act of generosity!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the last quarter of this bowl of Uhle’s Blend 71 in a smooth straight brown family era Sasieni Mayfair 64 N Canadian with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Going to clean a few pipes. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Ending the day with MB HH Pure Virginia Flake in a Let Freedom Ring Rob Roy along with a glass of wine while listening to the Paul Winter Consort.

Casanova in my Brigham tonight. Made the mistake of opening an old box with all my college landscape design projects and plans in it - memory lane is bumpy. "Objects in rear view are closer than they appear."

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a medium bent smooth ebony year 1987 medium bend Peterson 80S Bulldog Silver Spigot with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Had a bowl of Boswell English Biscuit in a Pre Republic Peterson.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty Envy apple, and am not far from finishing this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight black 1925 Dunhill patent shell Canadian 33 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

On the last lap of my first set of walking reps this past day, Sam the Scamp and Harry the Hairy were keeping their distance from each other until Harry decided to chase away. That stopped when I came down the hill. Sam ran to me and cried for protection and attention. He did a roll by a tree to express his happiness. Harry the Hairy was not amused by this as he hid between our cars. I brought Sam inside to eat, and after he did, he spent most of his time laying by my side. I was smoking my Peterson 4AB Natural when I took the photos. Abner the Eager ate, too, and went behind m’lady’s chair for an uninterrupted snooze. Tomato the Brave had his own agenda.

Last smoke of the day is year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem.

All the ferals were here to eat when I got up today, except for Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave because they spent the night inside out of the rain. I let Abner the Eager in to eat, and he took his usual snooze afterward. Sam the Scamp and Harry the Hairy have an interesting dynamic. They are friends most of the time, and it’s obvious to me that Harry is the boss of the two. Today, Harry, who had spent the night on our deck, was territorial about eating even though I put down two plates of food at a distance. Harry wanted Sam’s food, too, and stalked Sam until Sam stopped being nervous, and they sniffed each other’s noses. I have seen them do that many times. I’m not sure what that means, but it hasn’t resulted in any arguments so far as I can tell.

Even though Harry the Hairy gets skittish toward me, he also is very friendly now. He gave me a happy meow and when I was scratching his head, he marked my hand for the first time. Harry keeps trying to get in, which isn’t going to happen. Anyway, I came back inside, and Sleepy Suzy started smelling my hand with an unusual chattering. She didn’t like the smell of Harry on my hand.

About to fill an Erik Nording Signature with some of Rangers blended Urban Cowboy. I'm really loving this blend. It's so chillaxing. Bit of a hit and miss day in old blighty today. Weather can't really make up its mind what to do.
I hope everyone enjoys your day, wherever you are.
