Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious on the side. I'm passing 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 Perfetto, neat, my drink. Chatting with an old friend.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I'm very late to the table today, as I've been out with Mrs Z looking at new garden furniture, although it seems a little early yet. But Mrs Z wants what she wants. Anyway, I'm about to fill a Petersons Atlantic with some Squadron Leader, and say chocks away, have a great day my friends.View attachment 15470
Zippo buddy, that pipe and green stem is a beauty! Nice one for St. Patty's Day.
 
Did a set of walking reps with the last smoke, and I'm currently smoking Watch City SEPC McClouxgaroux 2023 in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This is Rouxgaroux made with vintage McClelland tobaccos.

Had a fun day with company. We went to a Mexican restaurant, and I had six enchiladas, quesadillas, rice and beans. Smoked a few bowls of tobacco during the day. Right now, I've about a third of a bowl left of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. A big cup of hot tea, neat, is my drink. All the ferals were waiting for m'lady and me when we came home, and I fed them without incident for a change. I decided to have a bowl of Trader Joe's Organic Raisin Bran Clusters. Never tried it before. Glad it was a small bowl because it tasted great, but is too sweet for me.

6 Enchiladas? Dang, I have 1 at our fav Mexican restaurant here and I'm satisfied. I could maybe eat 2 if I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, but 6? I would blow up like the Hindenburg. LOL.
 
Almost 7pm and I am finally getting around to a pipe. Been busy as hell all day. Got up at 6:30 to take Charlie out but with 6" of new snow he really didn't want to go out on the turf. Peed on the patio rug. Pooped on the patio, lol. Fed him, then shoveled the turf so Molly and Augie would go out. Got wifey settled in then called USVets to see if any other volunteers showed up for lunch feeding. No one else did, so cleaned off the driveway with the snowblower so I could get the truck out. It's 4WD but our driveway is kind of steep and if I don't clean at least 25' the truck slides coming out. Went down and served lunch. Good thing as I was the only volunteer to show and serve lunch. Came out 3 hours later and had another 6" of snow on the truck. Got home and our neighbor who has been walking Charlie for us was out shoveling her driveway. Couldn't let her do that so took the blower over and cleaned her drive. Then she asked if I would do her neighbors. He is a disabled vet and his wife is 78 years old and weighs about 75 lbs. So did theirs too. Then came home, cleared our driveway again so I could get the truck in the garage without taking out the wall, lol. Then had to clear the turf again as it had a new foot of snow. Still blowing snow so settled in the garage nook with some GLP Quiet Nights in a Maestro de Paya bent Rhodesian and a cup of joe. EZ, glad you're feeling better. Think I got your pain, lol. Back is killing me. Got an appointment for a massage tomorrow. Hope it helps. Good evening BoBs.
 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm back on the diet and the Group W bench until I lose what I gained from yesterday's food massacre. :) Nearing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

You mean you settle for being Hindenburg Jr.? 🤣 😇

Actually, the enchiladas weren't very big. I did extra yesterday because I was at the low level of my usual weight, so I thought I'd splurge all day. I ate more at lunch than I did at dinner, but that was partly m'lady's fault. I was eating cinnamon raisin French toast, and knowing that I was having an off diet day, she thought she'd surprise me with those two big subs from my favorite sub shop deli. I enjoyed being a glutton!! :)

Had a bowl of Va Slices in my Clarin, it's such a wonderful pipe for that tobacco. Just made a pot of coffee. I'll muddle around on the internet until I cash in. Have a good night BoBs. I hope you have an eventless day tomorrow, Ranger. Time to recuperate and decompress,

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. An apple follows this smoke.
