Earlier, some Sutliff Carolina Flake/Red Ribbon mixture in a sandblasted Bari apple. Then some Brown Clunee in a no-name Italian Dublin.

For some years now the ''mascot'' of the Cafe was one duck only but now are about 10 white and mallard. The dog was swimming among them without problem, after his bath he lay down in the pavement to dry.






Briar Patch West Indies.

Starting the day with Five Brothers in a shop pot.

PS Toasted Burley in a Walter Hettinger flat bottomed Dublin.

Just finished an exceptionally fun Zoom chat. I smoked:
year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s 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 saddle stem. The fella who gifted me the pipe was in on the chat.

Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi’s Out Shine in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. The fella who gifted me the pipe as in on the chat.

Now, I'm part way through this bowl of year 2010 STG Schippers in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent 253 billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic tapered stem. Going to get my last set of walking reps in before dinner time.

Five Brothers, shop pot.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops and green beans dinner with peaches and orange slices for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching Green Acres.

Peterson Wild Atlantic in a Van Roy Magic Cake bulldog.

I am smoking Mac Baren Navy Flake.

Almost half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Prince Albert in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent.

Now smoking Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Got all my walking in today in case it rains. Plenty of ice water and bergs to drink is the key to getting it done in this awful heat and humidity.

Relaxing after a wonderful meatloaf and sugar snap green peas dinner with strawberries and peaches for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Running low on this bag now. Watching the Braves-Yankees game.
