We gave Tomato the Brave a new bow tie much like the one he first wore. Let’s see how long it takes before those so-and sos steal it.

Back from serving lunch and going full Brit with Zippos gifted Condor in a Comoys Xmas 1995 billiard and a mug of Yorkshire tea. Jose, our gardener, is planting the new Austrian pine we bought over the weekend to replace the Colorado Blue Spruce we lost last year to a fungus. Off to the Legion in an hour or so for SAL burger night.
 
Getting close to the half way mark of this bowl of 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I had a wonderful phone conversation with a good friend.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm part way through 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.

Back from a wonderful dinner of patty melts at the Legion. Shot 2 games of pool, won both with a couple of really difficult shots. My riding buddy brought their dog Marty over for a couple of days because he has to take his daughter back to Cali tomorrow and his wife is stuck in Denver trying to get home. 3 of her flights canceled today. Enjoying some Benediction in a Charaton made Mountbatten bent billiard. Oolong tea on the side. Watching 4 doggies running amuck, lol. Good evening BoBs.
 
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

What a dapper gent.
 
Cold day today, I don't think it got above 2 C., Blowing hard and pelleted snow. Boss cut us loose at noon. Looks the same for tomorrow with higher winds. I imagine you're getting much the same weather WZ. Made myself some coffee, it may keep me up but it is my go to comfort food. I'll have a bowl of MM 150th with it and call it a day.
