Another Shaving Journal

Even before you open them, I can tell you that your wife thinks they smell and you should send them to a country far far away. I think I heard her say "North of the border."

I think I heard her say "North of the border."

I have a cousin in Ontario. Her husband might appreciate them.

Wow! I did not know we were related. As Walt Disney said, "It's a small world after all!"

 

[Graybeard57]

Wow! I did not know we were related.

My mother's family emigrated from Ireland to Canada, and then to Michigan. There have been family legends passed down parent to child about the bad seed the Michigan folks left up north. Hmmm...

 

[woodpusher]

OMG!!! I'm also of Irish, English, Scot descent! Probably more the wild Picts side of things in my family tree So yup, bad seed for sure.

 

[Graybeard57]

I'm also of Irish, English, Scot descent!

Me too. I'm all of the above.

Gorgeous fall day here, mid-60sF now, up to 70-72F later. Very refreshing. And I shaved, with that stuff up above. Life is good.

Great shave this morning. The soap has become mixed up, making it hard to tell which layer I'm on. Can't name it, but it smells good. Have a great Sunday, Cadre!

 

[GearNoir]

Can't name it, but it smells good.

But you did name it! MSB! MSB! MSB!

Ho hum Monday. For excitement, tomorrow I'm going in for my booster and a flu shot. I see sore arms in my near future.

 

[GearNoir]

Early congrats on the booster! I’ve got to wait a bit more since I had Moderna.

 

[Scuttlesoap]

Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly!

Was at hospital bright and early for my shots. Booster arm feels fine, flu arm's a little tender. I'm rotating and flapping my arms periodically to work my shoulder muscles.
Have a groovy Tuesday, Cadre!

 

[woodpusher]

Good stuff, Bruce. I think @NurseDave has the side effects of your shot. You're not related to him like we are, are you?

 

[GearNoir]

Hope the booster recovery goes without incident!

 

[Graybeard57]

You're not related to him like we are, are you?

To my knowledge, no, not like us.

 

[Graybeard57]

Hope the booster recovery goes without incident!

Me too. Had no ill effects from Covid #2, so I'm hopeful.
