Them temps are not unusual in the Sonoran desert this time of year but I suspect they are for you. Hopefully not a harbinger of a tough fire season. |

Currently 106 degrees here. I just finished excavating a root that the stump grinder guy missed earlier this week. The shoot from the root was a remarkable 36 inches from the stump, I can see how he missed it.  The two trees were cut down several months ago, what is left is a stump burning process before I proceed with the next project. |

It’s coming up to1800 hrs local time and the temperature is now 113f. In response to your question Charlie, water restrictions are already in effect and the forests are crispy dry which equals a potentially bad summer for us. |

June 27th.
With cooler weather, (not a lot cooler but the briars are not spontaneously combusting now..) I have managed to load a number of bowls.
haunted bookstore, c&d burley #2 and a nice bowl of regents flake in the savinelli estelli non pariel.
on a positive note I am now the proud owner of an early 3k castello billiard (shape 16). in searock finish.
It is a tenon style stem but I overlook the lack of an army mount or spigot with castellos.
The pipe is in transit and will be a week before I hold it.
I missed a shape 16 in an even earlier carlos scotti period pipe and was resigned to never owning a castello billiard until I checked rebornpipes and saw he had one on the repair blog. It is not as old as the first but 1960s/70s era so still a scotti period pipe. just a 3k versus an SC.
So with lightning speed I got off an email and imagine my surprise when he said it was available.
So I confirmed right then and decided to inform the bride later that day..
(my PAD had been in remission due to all the fine pipes I now own but the castello was a highly desired treasure and not over my pocket money budget so I got the paypal sent!)
I look forward to having my first bowl in it.
I wish this site would let me post pics directly from the phone as several of my pipes are quite nice and worth a look but for now I will just keep using words...
anyhoo, have a great week!

I prepped some GH Dark Plug in a little Grabow Duke straight Rhodesian. As soon as the Red Sox finish off the Royals, I will enjoy it with a cranberry and seltzer. taiguy66 I knew it was hot out there lately, but that's crazy hot. Stay safe and hydrated. |
