I've seen that film (and read the book) so often I can quote the entire film. So keep your Ho, There.

I'm left-handed.

Last day of the survey today. Been intense, to say the least, but I've had a good relationship with two of the surveyors. So while tiring, it at least hasn't been combative. And somehow I've managed to buy a watch and a brush in the middle of the survey. Which my wife has noted per credit card charges. What's the over/under of her forgetting by the time I get home?

Ummm this is Panteha your speaking of… One Word….

Odds are pretty much 204746282948 to 1 at this point that she will forget. Sorry Dave.

 

[heysi]

She won't forget you bought them....but days after they arrive, she wouldn't be able to pick them out amongst the ocean of others they'll blend into. (you may have a problem....just sayin')

Wanted to do a video this morning because I had a lot to say, but only had 15 for a shave. Had to get the daughter to an appointment to pick glasses. Her prescription is only like 0.5+ so you can’t find them in stores. Plus might as well use her optical benefit finally.

During the last two days of the survey I was also dealing with a moody/upset teen at home. Long story short, the boy she wants to spend time with is now required to come by the house first for a 1:1 talk with dad. We do pretty well with telling the girls we know we have basically no control over who they talk to or spend time with, but this one needs to be verbally slapped around respect and expected behavior.

Hmmm, the checks must be going to the wrong address.

Wow! You forgot I pay you in sweet tarts and English muffins? I am worried about you

 

[GearNoir]

Better bring out the gun polishing kit!
Tell that boy what’s up!

"I'm not afraid to go back to jail" is a great line to use. They always seem to remember the "back" part of the statement.

The best one is, don’t mess with grumpy old men, as life in prison, and after 30 years of marriage is much less of a deterrent.

I'm so glad I don't have daughters.

 

[heysi]

Just remember you were once a dumb teenage boy with one thing on your mind. Go easy on him out of old times sake. But do make sure he's being respectful.

Whoomp, here we is. Back to your normally scheduled week. I dunno why B Dave keeps bringing up he sold me this razor. Only proves my superior skillz are what it took to tame it. Beautiful shave today with no alum sting.

Yep, had a talk with "the boy". It was 1/3 come to Jesus, 1/3 listening board, 1/3 counseling session. And kudos to him for showing up to take his lashings.

Gerry asked on the Zoom if I've started any of those watch repair courses I paid for. Nope, but I keep thinking about them. I think that will be the goal for this week. Not sure how they work, but I'm hoping maybe they concentrate on a certain movement so I can take one apart and put it back together again. What's that I hear? Another need to buy stuff? I think I'll get most tools other than a spring winder. It sounds like it's just more cost-effective to buy new pre-wound springs.
