Oh my! It has been 5 days since I updated in this thread, and I apologize. I have been shaving though and following the theme so all is good on that front. The shave was real nice today and I was reminded just how good this soap actually is.
In other shaving related news. The Bad Blade series on break til 9/1. I need a break and want to focus on some other shaves.

So first my apologies for being out of touch here the last week or so. I have some cold or something going on. Been feeling achey and tired. Thankfully each day for the last 3 days I have started feeling better each day but still not 100%. Couple that with work, holidays, soccer games/practice, Knights of Columbus, and studying the new football rule book. I have just been exhausted. This weekend we are driving up to Logan, UT in northern Utah for a family reunion. We leave Friday and come home Sunday should be a nice trip with family. At work our fiscal year starts February which means that I am writing mid year evaluations on all the employees that report to me. I despise this piece of the job and it is exhausting. Anyways there's an update finally! Now to try and read up on other items around here! Have a great day Cadre.

Hope you get back to 100% soon Chad. The family reunion sounds fun. I've been talking about organizing one for years but haven't actually done it yet lol.

They are a big undertaking and the family has just grown exponentially it seems. We actually reserved the city pool for Saturday afternoon. So that should be fun.
Well when sick it really throws a wrench into things.
LOL I was waiting for it.

Connor has a soccer match this evening and hoping it cools off a bit before that starts otherwise it is going to be HOT! So extra water will be brought no matter what. Perhaps a quick stop for an ice cream afterwards will be in order as well. With the coffee maker on the fritz at home gotta figure out a new way to brew. We like the pot but might end up with a few other options as well in the quest for the best cup o joe. In other news we leave in the morning for a long weekend so should be fun. Connor has also found pokemon on netflix. He is obsessed! We now have pokemon go on my phone so he can catch them, he asked for a hat from Amazon, made Megan sew him a belt, and searched out red balls from his ball pit from when he was 2. He runs around the house now throwing "pokeballs" at the cats and his stuffed animals are pokemon apparently. I have learned more about pokemon in the last 2 weeks than I ever thought possible.
Anyways if you play pokemon go hit me up... we need poke balls LOL. Have a good day Cadre!

No coffee?!?!? That could be dangerous in my house! LOL. The wife and I both need morning coffee before we can face the outside world 
Sounds like Connor has found a nice little obsession there. He must get it from his mother, no one here knows anything about obsessive hobbies.....
lol
At least with Pokemon Go he can get outside and it won't keep him sitting in front of a TV.

FINALLY!!!!!
I don't know how my sons avoided Pokemon when they were kids, but it never held their interest. They had other obsessions, but those escape me now. I tried to steer them into baseball cards, with some success.

Well I did shave over the weekend while in the hotel but we had such a busy schedule no time to update the status. But there are some pics out there in places at least. Today was the kick off of CBL theme week and I grabbed the Breakfast Blend. I know this one effects some people but thankfully I don't have any irritation from it which is great because I love it! The shave was real nice today.

Well the family reunion was a success had a great time that's for sure. For this possibly being the last family reunion held at this level due to size they went out with a bang. We had the standard water games, good food, etc but we also coordinated to have 4 bounce houses set up, we rented the city pool one afternoon so only family was there, and we coordinated to have a plane fly by and do a candy drop in the field for the kids. It was non-stop and the kids and all the adults where exhausted come Sunday morning. I am hopeful that the powers that be my grandma and her siblings find a way to ensure the reunion continues. Back to the grind at work and trying to get caught up here as well. I just feel so behind because I am behind LOL.

Good to hear your family reunion went off without making the the evening news. I remember the few reunions we had when I was a kid, Uncle Fred (we all have an Uncle Fred don't we) who my not have actually been MY uncle was the primary reason we kept having the things every 6 months. He was in his mid 90's and swore he was going to die. He did eventually die but not until long after we stopped having the reunions every six months. Truth is, my family just isn't that much fun to be around and most of the people that gathered were from a branch of the tree that was not entirely integrated with my own. Fred (uncle or not) was really cool though, he was a lot like George Burns and shared my opinion that everyone else didn't seem to belong.
Now back to the candy drop-Hey kids, here comes the candy plane. ..pilot has a flashback and dive bombs the crowd, chucking fists full of atomic fire balls at the fat kids first then taking out the skinny fast ones with juji fruits. With just the little carpet crawlers left he circles around and loads up his fists with peanut m&m's "thwack, thwack, thack" down go the ones with peanut allergies. Now Uncle Fred is having his own flash back and starts to scream "Milk Duds...I wanted Milk duds Dad" (he's flashed back to when HIS dad strafed a field of unsuspecting family with candy at the Vargo family reunion 85 years ago). Just then the milk duds start flying, only now the temps have soared to triple digits and it aint pretty. Finally the pilot regains his her senses and drops the remaining marshmallow peanuts on the gathering spectators and flies off into the sunset with a peprmint tucked behind her ear.

"I thought they could fly"
OMG @CBLindsay that's hilarious!
That sounds like the Super Bowl of reunions there Chad. Never even heard of a candy drop from a plane. I think Chris might have a point with the velocity of the plane, added with 9.8 meters/second/second for gravity's acceleration. That hard root beer barrel could leave a welt! (yes KJ, I'm suspending the reality of the low mass of the candy and the added wind resistance of the plastic wrapper drag wings on the end for comedic effect)
