When do you return to determine whether or not the death penalty applies? This is an important decision, even in civil cases. Remember, tough but fair.

The judge didn’t invite us to stick around for the sentencing…rude!When do you return to determine whether or not the death penalty applies? This is an important decision, even in civil cases. Remember, tough but fair.

This LNHC is pretty much done…thank goodness! The rest will be folded into the clown puke tub to actually make something of itself.

Shave #52 (1152 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and Tom Ford Beau De Jour to finish!
The time has come to use up some unobtainium! Excellent scent. Lacking some on the slickness/residual slickness. Might not be the best soap but it’s so nice to have a soap that just works.
TGIF!

Hell of a day so far. Nothing bad though, thankfully, unless you count the body aches.
Missus took two of the boys to the middle son’s volleyball tournament down south a ways…leaving me to push through today’s 10 mile training run just about all by my lonesome. That was hell!
(Ignore the “ride” verbiage…still figuring out Strava)
Got myself a haircut between chores…and a nice, refreshing home ST shave was just the ticket this afternoon.
Also in other news…I had entered a little design competition about a month ago…and I was a finalist! My goodie box came in today:
There you go friends! A wall-o-deets!

I thought it was a crime to carry lock picking tools. Who’s the guy in the middle?

Not illegal in many places. Definitely illegal to make use of them for nefarious purposes though.

You’ve read comic books, right? That’s where I learned the meaning of the word “nefarious”!
