61F and cloudy before sunrise. Little cool down to normal temperatures over the weekend. Breakfast was yogurt with a little dark chocolate. Smoking McClelland #2015 in a pre-1964 smooth Peterson 312 System Standard, listening to ESPN radio this morning. Going for a walk this morning and running errands afterwards.

Errands done. Arby's fish sandwich was lunch. Home now smoking Uhle's #300 in an MM Country Gent and drinking ice tea with lemon. Checking out the day's card at Keeneland but it's already raining here so I'll probably take a pass on thoroughbred investments this afternoon and focus on getting my deceased father's computer up to speed. Hardware is sound and plenty speedy but needs a lot of updates. Should purr after some cleaning and a good tune up.

Now smoking 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 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 stem. Watching Gunsmoke, though I think I'm producing more smoke than Matt Dillon is today.

Just a salad for supper this evening. Nice and cool out in the workshop, possibly the last hoodie weekend of the spring as upper 80s are projected by the end of next week. Smoking McClelland #5100 in a smooth RDPipes Canadian, drinking Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat and catching the News Hour on PBS.

Iwan and Ries Slices in a no name briar 3/4 bent with a 9mm filter I picked up on EBay real cheap.
First smoke and so far I like this pipe.
oh and because I listen to all of you, the missus and I stopped for dinner on the way home from work and what did the bar have
on the menu but Laphroaig! So of course I had to try it. Not once but 3 times at $11 a shot.
'Hey I had to figure out if I like it before I buy a bottle of it!😄
'Guess I'm going to the store tomorrow

I usually only have a pipe in the mornings on the weekend if I've got an a.m. tee time.
Today, however, it was so nice out that I got to the office a little early, hot cup of Micky D's black coffee in hand and decided to step out onto the porch and have a pipe with my joe while I read the WSJ.
So, in a reasonably accurate order of consumption,here's today's indulgences thus far...
SP Black Cavendish in a Bent Calebrisi
MM 965 in one of my Bent Bulldog's
D&R Raccon Accent in a Joria straight Billiard
Cap'n Black Cherry in the Dunhill Pot
FM in the Key Club Poker
Vermont Maple Cavendish in my other Calebrisi, Bent Dublin
London Mixture in a Clubman Bent Brandy
Sutliff Peach Cobbler in the YelloBole Apple
HU Makhuwa in the Shandy Bent Dublin
Sippin Blantons and listenin to Monty Montgomery
The Margate keeps callin my name, might have to try a bowl before the nights out.

It's just too stout for me to enjoy it any other way. I used to think this cost me some points off of the ol "mancard" but while over in Scotland, while in the Navy, I found that many of the locals added H2O to their Scotch, claiming that it "opened" it up. So, I too enjoy Laphroaig... "Opened up"  |

Cool foggy weekend on tap, 47F and raining. Tonight is "Thunder Over Louisville," the largest fireworks show on earth kicking off two weeks of partying in preparation for the fastest two minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby. My morning smoke is Esoterica Penzance in a smooth 1/4 bent Altinok meerschaum bulldog, drinking organic Yunnan Golden Buds black loose leaf tea with lemon and listening to Horse Racing Radio Network.
