Bruce prepped his day so early he's already done with it.
Not quite unfortunately, but close.
Hope the appointment went well and you have a great day too Bruce!
I believe it did.
Even if the appointment is not on Zoom, pants are still important.
Especially important today. It was a medical appointment at the hospital. Had I forgotten to wear pants again, they probably would have cuffed me and taken me to the locked psychiatric unit.

Happy Friday, Cadre. Drizzly and mild at 50F/10C and it looks to be this way all day. Wrapping up a busy week of appointments, and looking forward to next week's activities.

First use of the SS Unscented. The list of aromas I can't smell in this is too long to spell out, suffice it to say it is massive. I'd rate the Unscent at 10/10 as its coverage is complete. No complaints about the lather, it whips up easily with moderate water, and is both slick and cushioning. There is a generous 4.5oz nearly filling the TOBS-sized container. This is unfortunate, because some lather inevitably spills out over the container lip if I splay my 22mm synthetic brush even halfway. Won't be a problem in a couple weeks I suppose, but for now it's messy and annoying. The soap's performance is top notch.

Sunny and chilly at 38F/3C on this first spring day. Like clockwork, winter ends the same time annually, and we move into warmer weather. Have a great day, Cadre.

That soap is like the black hole of any defining characteristics.
To help your better understand the breadth and scope of this Unscent, here is a partial list of what this soap does NOT smell like:

Patchouli
Lime
Coconut
Lime & Coconut
Orange
Spam
Lime & Spam & Orange & Spam
Beer barf
Roasted Oatmeal Stout
Spam & Bacon & Roasted Oatmeal Stout & Spam...

I hope this partial list helps you pinpoint this very complex, layered flavor within the Spectrum of Unscent. I agree, it's difficult to describe.
