He called me and I convinced him he didn't owe us anything and he should take time to celebrate his wife's recovery and to take care of his granddaughter. And mourn his son. He said he would be back and that's good enough for me, I loved that guy...

@NeverBend , wherever you are...

Things have been awful, to be honest lol. I haven't had time for a damn thing, work is absolutely nuts-o. I don't even have the time to smoke!

Pretty soon things will die down (hopefully) and then I will be able to light up and be more reg around here.

How are things with you?

Dunhill 221B Baker Street in a 1970's medium bend big bowl rusticated Sienna colored Savinelli Estella with a pearl grey stem.

Angler's Dream in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a black vulcanite stem.

Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem.

Puffing Solani 633, Virginia with Perique -- my favorite VaPer. Half a tin left for this rotation cycle.

Just finished smoking Jim’s C Blend in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band and a black acrylic stem. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.

Part way through this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2003 smooth medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
