Good morning my fellow BoBs. Just finishing up a bowl with the last of my CS Cowboy Coffee topped off with Choctaw in a Lorenzo Old Vic giant smooth bent billiard. Morning coffee of course. Couldn't post till now as I was holding Augie in my lap. Tried something new last night apres diner. Had Comoys Cask # 4 in an Aldo Velani smooth poker. Most reviews say this tastes like PS LNF. Been a while since I had LNF but I remember it as having a bit more flavor. Couldn't post last night as my phone died on me, lol.
 
Well. appliance woes appear to be contagious. My vacuum puked, or rather the drive belt did. It took me an hour to disassemble the power head, who dreamt up these little torx screws with a centre pin!? I'd lynch that overengineering *****. It's a vacuum cleaner, not a personal safe. Anyway, I'll check a couple of repair shops and see if anyone has the belt. If all else fails the shop vac works almost as well with a little elbow grease, I only have some low pile rugs, not wall to wall carpet. I loaded my Tomato meer with some MM150th to share with my coffee and feel smug about my determination to undermine the capitalist comsumer hierarchy and government fostered product redundancy.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of pre-2014 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. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple, and small peach on the side for lunch. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of 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. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Now smoking year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The kittens fighting all over my chair, me and the computer. Both of them got on top of the chair, and one of them started chewing on my hair until the other started a fight, and both were fighting on my head. Crazy li'l critters.

Good morning friends, although there's not too much morning left. Today I'm working a little bit extra again so on my walk to work I enjoyed around a third of a bowl of MacBaren Scottish mixture in my cob.
I'm trying to reason myself from purchasing 10 or 15 more varieties of tobacco. Every day I get closer to hitting that purchase button. Does everybody have that problem or is it a symptom of being comparitively new and wanting to try everything in the candy store?

TAD syndrome is a fairly common phenomenon around here!!!!! FTRPLT
 
Did a set of walking reps, chatted with a neighbor, and smoked a bowl 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam billiard 27 Canadian patent 341422 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Pirates game.

Vacuum saga...got a replacement belt from a local small business and installed it. Vacuum ran for about five minutes and it snapped, too. Power head motor works so I'm guessing the bearing in the brush spool is done. By the time I find and order a replacement for that, I'll be out at least a hundred bucks parts and shipping for a ten year old $200 vacuum. Time to move on. It was worth a try and the vacuum can still be used for a shop vac. Having another bowl of MM 150th in my Tomato meer and wondering what will break next.

Sorry to hear about your plucker. Is it a spool or a drum? We had a drum plucker that would handle turkeys up to 25lbs on the farm. We used a spool plucker the first year we raised birds and it just took too long processing...we raised between 200 and 500 birds a year. I hope it's just a belt issue, not a motor or bearing. Good luck Bali.
