As the knee progresses so does the pipe. I am now riding a stationary bike, very slowly, and smoking at the same time. Two bowls of FVF today. Starting to get my mojo back.

That FVF will get you going peteguy  Just checked my cellar last night and noticed that for some strange reason it contains more FVF than anything else Methinks it's time to crack a tin again. |

Easter long weekend up ahead on the West Coast of the Dark Continent. Taking off early. Easter weekend usually marks the start of my Lat/Oriental/English/Balkan smoking season. Burleys take a back seat and the others get added to my staple Va's and VaPers.
Starting off slowly and in anticipation released about 50g of Presbyterian Mixture from its jar and cracked a tin of Smokers Haven Krumble Kake.
Dark Twist Roll Cake in MM Legend and a glass of tap water before the drive home.
See ya on the other side of the weekend.
Enjoy y'all and stay safe.
Cheers
Ant

Man, it's another beautiful day in Pinehurst (kind of an inside joke round these parts, it's the greeting you get whenever you call most any of the Pinehurst resort #'s)
But, it truly is a beautiful day, hence my stepping out to the company lounge and enjoying a fantastic bowl of Dunhill MM 965 in my trusty ol Bent Bulldog (office pipe). All while sippin Arnold Palmer with bergs.
