Morning gents.
Started my day off with a tasty breakfast of poached eggs on toast and a half grapefruit. Have now retired to my desk to get some work done.
Watching the gloom and rain while puffing on a bowl of Royal Yacht in a Windjammer Bing.

Whilst y'all are starting your day, I am finishing my work day here on the Dark Continent with a mix of Carter Hall and Van Erkoms Fox in a MM Legend...instant coffee on the side. Bit of shopping and then home where a Peterson pairing (and 2 fur balls) await: University Flake in a POY 2007.
Have a good weekend.

Afternoon gents!
Like Anton, it's the end of the day for me as well. The weekend has arrived!
Nothing major planned, but most certainly it will involve a bit of pipework.

Now smoking Player’s Navy Cut Flake in a much cherished smooth straight grain three quarter bend 1979 Becker M 4 heart brandy.
So the "IRS" called me and threatened to arrest me if I didn't pay them. I sure wish I could tell you the game I played with the fake with the Indian accent, but it wasn't quite PG rated by the time I told him what I was going to do to him when he showed up at the house. I begged him to come over with the police, but somehow, I just don't think I'll be seeing any of them. I'm thinking about calling him back later in an Indian accent and tell him I'm the IRS, and am coming to arrest him for fraud. Wonder how that's going to go?

Smoking on small metal Prince bowl of Saint Bruno as a starter, listening to Carthusian chant, it is going to be a long night this weekend.
I went to a family funeral, the word of the holy priest at the chapel moved me. A young lady Afghan veteran corporal in uniform also moved me, us epigone generation....I have a Mac Baron HH Old Dark Fired Flake rolled in my Olde Medico straight Bulldog for later. I will crack open a bottle of Red Flag Whiskey...........GW.

Part way through this bowl of Smoker’s Pride Natural in my old reliable 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water properly chilled along with floaty li'l icebergs is my drink for the rest of the evening. Watching Red Sox's David "I took steroids" Ortiz blow his cool after two bad calls as he struck out.

Feeling better every day, but still can't taste or smell anything, so no point in loading a bowl yet. I tried it yesterday but could hardly appreciate the Comoy's cask #11 to it full glory. Watching an episode of Wagon Train (1959). I do love my westerns... next on the dial will be Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, and Bonanza!!!
