Enjoying Wilke 515 Double Shot in the Peterson Mycroft. I'm listening to Cal @ Auburn football game. Auburn was favored by 2 TDs, but Cal just scored to go up by 2 TDs with 11:27 left in the 4th qtr.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Jays game.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of several years old Dunhill Elizabethan in a straight smooth, dark brown patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Had a "Marvel"ous :) conversation with a fellow piper about pipes, comics and Jack Kirby.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Watching the Dodgers-Guardians game.

Lunch break is over, so I'm having Bluff Blend in the same Yello-Bole with a can of Black Rifle Espresso and cream. I've been reading on how to do a French drain.
They are very effective to remove surface water until it has a chance to be absorbed. You don't lose the moisture and you don't have the surface puddling. I hope you find them effective, they can be a very effective short-term reservoir, and they act as an effective sump in heavy rain events if you incorporate an outlet.
 
I can't sleep, vicious headache, so I'm having a bowl of Borkum Riff in my Rossi Canadian sitter and a coffee. If that doesn't do the trick I'll hit it with a Tylenol but there are already signs of improvement.

@EZONSLOW take care of yourself, it's discouraging to have to recover from every day of work.

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant scoop with a horn ferrule and black acrylic stem. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Watching an episode of Wyatt Earp.

A third of a bowl left of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a smooth brown-orange undated Mastro de Paya 3A L Tulip with a silver cap military mount and an acrylic yellow tapered stem. This will do it for me today. Reading baseball box scores.

Happy Sunday BoB,
Boy, our stay on the Oregon coast has been eventful. The hotel we had stayed at the night before last resembled a crack-house which was very unnerving and will end up being a story we'll remember for some time. Thank God we found a better place to stay last night. Otherwise, it has been a fantastic trip filled with beautiful scenery, misty shores, good food, and great company.
As I said I might do Friday when I last posted, I'm waking up a bit before the girls to go enjoy some Captain Black Regular in my beater mm cob. While I do so, I'm listening to the Bob Hope Program, the episode in which Bob interviews Sonny Tufts. Just twenty more episodes before I have listened through each surviving broadcast.
It would be swell if only I had a cup of hot tea to enjoy with the smoke, scenery, and audio.
Until tomorrow, God bless you all!

Good morning BoBs and a Happy Sunday to all. Quiet morning on the mountain. Enjoying a big bowl of CS Choctaw in the Butz Choquin magnum bent brandy with a big mug of cowboy coffee. Watching the birds and bunnies. Need to refill the feeders. Heading down to the Legion in a while to practice up on my pool game and get ready for the tournament next Sunday. My partner and I have won the last 2 months. Want to bring home the gold again. LOL. Hope everyone has a great day.
 
Starting off my smoking day with a 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. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager. He'll show up eventually. Getting ready to watch the Braves-Jays game with Sleepy Suzy by my side.
