Spent the evening jarring up all of my recent Lane Ltd. sample acquisitions, then hand polishing my daily smokers with Decatur's Pipe Shield (arrived in the mail today) During all of this heavy lifting I enjoyed a few different bowls of different blends. Started out with Frog Morton Across the Pond in my FM Poker. Moved on to bowl of Early Morning Pipe, I know... In the evening? What was I thinking.  Finishing up with Lane Peaches & Cream in my favorite Peach Smoker.... Yellobole Flame Grain Apple with Saddle bit. Sippin on a little Irish whiskey this evening. |

Relaxing after a wonderful spaghetti and meatballs dinner with a bowl of C&D Bright Virginia Ribbon in an early smooth Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend egg/rhodesian pipe with a bamboo-style carving on the shank and a black acrylic stem. I'm about half an hour away from a couple slices of freshly baked chocolate meringue pie. Watching the Braves play the Padres in their first game in the Braves' new ball park. I've been to all the previous stadiums in Atlanta, so one of these days, I'll have to catch a couple ball games at this one, too.
