That’s super cool you get coaching on your games from higher level officials! Hope things smooth out for you a little.

Godrej is good stuff. A lot of goodness packed into that little blue puck.
Apparently still usable a year and a half after it’s shelf date too!
 
Sounds like you had one hell of a weekend. I'm sorry us jackasses are so prevalent in the community, I'll have to bring it up at the next jackass meeting. 😛 Seriously though, try to let it roll of your shoulder if for no other reason it'll really bother the person more.
 
At least you've stopped coaching girls basketball, you'd never be home if you hadn't. Sounds like you plan to make good use of the time you and your wife is off this summer.
 
You're making me tired.

LOL

Very True

Thanks Chris. And I don't see how a hard soap can go bad.

Being a football and basketball referee for awhile now these things usually don't bother me, and trust me I have dealt with a lot worse, which has led to police escorts etc. Just something about this guy pushed me over the edge. But all is good.

Sounds like the Disney trip was great! And some nice set-ups of late!

Thanks Chris it sure was.

We are trying to enjoy our summer that's for sure. So yes a few things planned.

Not sure how I Could possibly coach right now. Between married life, 2 kids, work, being a football and basketball referee, knights of columbus, and this site. There is no way I could add coaching.

Man, I don't even know how you manage all of that as it is!

If Google Calendar didn't have an option that my wife and I can both add things so it displays on both of our phones I don't think it would be possible. We both always have to constantly check the calendar so we are aware of what is going on. Literally everything gets scheduled.
 
Razor: Parker Variant set at 5
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless (2)
Soap/cream: Henri Et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars
Brush: Rudy Vey 2016 Group Buy
Aftershave1: Thayer's Cucumber
Aftershave2: Henri Et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars
Cologne: Henri Et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars

Well today for me is H day in the ABC theme and I went with my favorite scent from HeV. This scent is intoxicating and the performance of the soap is a solid tier 1 soap for sure. Great performance and just an all around good product. I love that I have a matching aftershave and EdP so I can smell like this all day. The shave could have gone better, but this aggressive of a blade does not do well for me in an aggressive razor. Aside from a couple nics all is good.

Homefront:

Well tonight is election night for my Knight's Council. And I have been nominated for Grand Knight. I have been the Deputy Grand Knight for about 4 years so we shall see how today goes. I am willing to take the job if elected, and that is only because I know I would have a good supporting group so all the work doesn't land on my shoulders. I have the support of my wife though so I have been gunning for it a little harder this year than I did last year. Hope the Cadre has a great day.

What happens when you become Grand Knight?
 
H&V Cognac and cubans..a wonderful scent. I recently PIF'd my tub (but they don't know they are getting it yet) because it doesn't get used anymore now that I have the cigar scent I have been looking for. I have the H&V Nautilus, their first foray into tallow, and enjoy it more than the veggie version (even thought the scent is essential non-existent)
 
Nice setup today! I hope the election goes well!

He trades in his longsword & shield for a 2-hander, learns to ride a horse while in armour, and begins to speak using Thee's, Thou's, and Shan'ts of ye olde englishe while quaffing mead from a drinking horn.

Pretty sure a permanent shaving setup of Tabacaveg is required too!
 
Love that scent Chad but I had a reaction from the tallow version soap :mad: The LE Eleven soap and splash is close in scent and better in performance with his new iteration

Life would be a bit busier with galas, banquets, and a couple extra meetings throughout the year. But commitment at church would be the same.

Not far off LOL

You have a Grand Night!

I don't need to win an election for that


I miss the old Looney Tunes!

Nautilus has so much potential! Shame I can't smell anything on it.

The election went just the way I wanted. More on that later!

Permanent Tabacaveg.... no thanks, I own 2 cats already I don't need more!

Thanks Dave. I need to look at Eleven. I do have some soap from the Sapone di Paolo days and it is good stuff.
