If you have to do something...

We have the flickering lights, but with in-ceiling can lights (which I HATE) and only in the evening. I assume it has to do with increased load on the entire system and power distribution, but would concede to @uacowboy's knowledge of that.

You're a young buck yet. When I was of that ilk and felt a cold coming on, I'd hit the gym even harder to get my body temp up to kill it dead in its tracks. I say you hoop it up while you're on the clock this week!

Flickering lights can indicate an issue with the neutral. In my last house the electrician who installed the breaker panel left a lot of the neutrals loose which caused the to get very hot as loads increased and flickering. Eventually it caused a breaker to trip and that's when we found it. Bunch of connections had to be replaced.

Well the friend did come out and he decided it might be best to change the fixtures first, they’re currently a cheap, bulbless LED fixture. The current running to the fixtures seemed to be pretty steady at around 120 ish. We’re going to try swapping those out for good old fashioned screw-a-bulb-in fixtures. Also upgrading the living room/dining room area to a lit fan and a larger fixture while we’re at it.

Adventure continues Monday.
 
We have a light that the girls decided they didn't want that has a built in Bluetooth speaker and is controlled by an app. I figure maybe you want it so you can stream TSC videos through it.

Good luck with your electricals, Chris!

Thanks Bruce! Hoping it’s not a bigger underlying issue for sure!

Hah! I think I’ve seen something like that in Ikea! Weird blobby things.
 
Shave #15 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Stirling 2-Band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Avon Deep Woods AS to finish!

Nice freshen up n 3 passer after school drop off duties. Tried the first of the full sized vintage Avon’s Dave kindly sent along. Started with Deep Woods, which hits up front with a good dose of old school powder, then calms into a light spice/woodsy skin scent. My nose is runny/stuffy off and on right now, so I’m having a hard time telling if there’s much projection. It felt like 15 minutes or so before it became a skin scent. Not bad! If I followed up with a frag, I’d probably want it to be in the same wheelhouse rather than just spraying on anything.

Felt the need to medicate with a couple DayQuil-ish pills this morning. So I’m a little fuzzy and tired, but at least I’m functioning.

The missus and I used a gift card this morning to a local cafe, that we had gotten for Christmas, for our date morning. It was a nice time.

Wrapping up my teaching for tomorrow. Work in a few hours.

Have a great Wednesday all!
 
Shave #16 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Avon Clint AS to finish!

Restless night...the Crud has me in its grip unfortunately.

Showered n shaved to help me wake up a bit more and get rid of the puffy eye thing. Tried out Clint today, sadly I can’t really smell it to tell if I enjoy it or not.

Still have to get through a teaching this morning and then work later. Medicated up and crossing my fingers I don’t dissolve into an achy, weepy, snot ball. :ROFLMAO:

Have a great Thursday all!
 
Sounds like a lot of folks need to bank up some cadre videos to watch, take a day off and just rest and get well.
 
Shave #17 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Avon Spicy AS to finish!

Feeling a bit better today...gonna stay med-ed up anyway though.

Up a little early today too to get into the Doc’s office for followup on a second set of blood work that was done (about half the tests they needed done the first time were missing or weren’t done for some reason).

Still, got in my freshen up and shave before heading out. Felt like a Oud day today so I brought out the Coconut Oud. Almost paired it with RR The Stallion, but remembered that I had a decanter of Spicy waiting for me to try, so I made the swap and the pairing still ended up pretty decent! 3 smooth passes with the Vector and I was on my way. Today was probably the smoothest and most comfortable shave I’ve had with it so far (not that the rest of my previous shaves haven’t been), most noticeable on the ATG. The Feather Pro edge is probably sufficiently calmed at this point.

After the doc’s gonna go home and chill...cup of coffee and hopefully a piece of panattone in hand.

Later at work, today and tomorrow, will be the first round of Upward games. It looks like the Saturday games my end up winding down sooner than previous years which is absolutely fan-stinking-tastic! Hopefully we have a good shot at getting out before midnight those days...finally!
