Since I am posting. You have correctly surmised that I was not a victim of spontaneous combustion. While mowing yesterday. The cool shower that followed. Was a welcome reprieve.
The razor was a little “tuggy”. So it and my Leader razor were taken downstairs to get a bit of tlc.
Hope all of you are doing well and are ready for the weekend.
It’s supposed to “cool down” to the 80’s here. Gee thanks Mother Nature. You nasty… “insert non polite word of your choice here”.

Good shave. Though it may be redundant to keep saying it. The nice thing about being picky with all the items you use for a shave. Means that you always enjoy your shaves.
What was NOT good today. The frigging weather and Mom Nature the nasty wretched witch nemesis. Continued her assault wave of 90+ degree heat. C'mon fall where the heck are you at?

Nice shave to start the week. Gonna spend the day gearing up for when the remnants of Ida get up to us. Possible 3+ inches of rain. So gotta sharpen up the chainsaws. Fuel and grease the chipper. Put the “claw” on the Gradall. Fuel up the pickups and dumps. Should be fun.

Good day today. Hauling stone to Bob in the motor grader. Fixing up the damage to our earth roads from Ida.

On a totally different note. I’m considering getting a 50lb. sack of bread flour. Why you ask. Because Fluffy is a big time cheap bastard. And if you get it (flour) in restaurant sized quantity it’s a 55% savings. At a pound a loaf and figuring on 2-3 loaves a week. That would be enough for 4-5 months.
Like I used to say back in my bar going days. “Go big or go home alone.”
Hope you guys are ready for the holiday weekend.

Well folks we made it to the weekend. The wife and I decided to have two different cultures for dinner. She had Thai and I chose Mexican.
In the kitchen I have a couple batches of sourdough starter getting going to so I can bake a few loaves of fresh bread.
3 will be the recipe I have already had success with. And the third will add an ingredient that is supposed to make for a “softer crust”. Going to see how I like it.
Hope you all have a good Labor Day planned.
Fluffy
