Supposedly the Pentagon is getting close to releasing items, but I wouldn’t hold any breath to that

Thanks for the recommendation. I just follow what you guys post about the topic, so causal interest would be how I rate myself on this topic.
There's a sign slapped on the side of Pluto that says, "go back....idiot inhabitants beyond this point"
As expected the Pentagon released a bunch of very fuzzy videos that they are nonclassified, but nothing really more exciting as expected

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a new track from The Midnight Hope you enjoy.
The hits just keep coming this week! Returned to my Valobra-era TAOS shave soap. Wonderful lather built with the Shore Shave synth for three passes with the Henson AL13 and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, Layrite No.9 aftershave splash & CBL Barber Powder.
BBS bliss!!
Haven't used the Henson for quite a while. I felt that I never really got the hang of using it. Always seemed too mild and required a lot of buffing to get the desired results. Today was no different. The results however were fantastic. After so much buffing I expected a lot of irritation but that wasn't the case. I may keep using it for a while.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Chill day at the house planned. Gas is ridiculous and everything's so expensive now. May go work on some songs in my studio for a while. Later the wife and I will chase each other naked around the house.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Some Sci-Fi ambience for your Sunday. Hope you enjoy.
Another fantastic shave this morning! Returned to CBL Premium Shave Soap and the second of the Dave & Chris collabs, "Spaghetti Western" shave soap and tonic. Wonderful scent! Kind of a "desert southwest meets AdP Colonia". Wonderful scent now that the temps have gotten warmer. Phenomenal lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Henson AL13 and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave tonic & CBL Barber Powder.
BBS bliss!!
Continuing on with the Henson. Today I popped in a fresh Kai. Felt harsh against the face, but that's par for the course with their blades. Seems to take two or three sessions for it to finally smooth out. Again, a lot of buffing had me expecting lots of irritation and feedback from the alum. There was some but not bad.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Not much to report. No chasing each other around the house last night. We just cuddled in bed and watched a movie.
Hope you have a great day.
