I dunno what the heck happened with this soap. It was a big soupy mess. I did manage to pull out a lovely shave, but it was annoying as all get out.

Last work day of the week for me. We're headed up to my parents' tomorrow where my wife and mom will work on making Christmas cards. I'm just along for the ride and free food. I was going to take up a few cigars and hang out on a different deck, but it's going to be rainy the whole time!

Dear sir,

In light of recent news, your pending Thayers and Nivea sponsorship acceptance has now been revoked.

Best of luck on your future endeavors.
His Hombres sponsorship hangs in the balance as well if he does not start getting back on Camera. He may end up with "Goobers Gas Station Sushi and Manure Store as a sponsor :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Samhain is a Gaelic festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It is also the Irish name for the month of November.

This weekend was a tough one shavewise. Gave myself a nice slice on the cheek on Saturday that took a long time to get under control especially since I didn't have styptic with me. Then Sunday I added a weeper on the other cheek and a slice right below the goatee. So today the whole face is a little raw and in need of some healing shaves. I have to think not checking my little bottle of Thayers before I left and thus not having any to use didn't help with the whole sealing up the skin after the shave aspect.

In economy-supporting news, I'm hopeful we might get a new TV. Sometimes our TV just goes black for a couple of seconds and when it comes back the sound is gone. You have to change the input to something else, then back to the cable box to get it to work. When we were in Oregon, we found out my parents had gotten a new big TV for $300 something at Costco. There start the wheels turning. I did reset the TV and it still did it. Last reset the cable box and now I'm waiting for it to happen again. I don't see how changing the input on the TV would fix the problem, but I figured I'd look pretty stupid if I got a new TV and the same thing happened. So of course last night was watching youtube videos on the different models out there now. He's hoping for a black screen tonight!

SEE! This would have made for Great TV, but has been added to the subject matter for Tuesdays Show
 
About time for us to get a new TV too. The current one is easily almost 10 years old and it isn’t doing my PS5 justice 😂

Costco does have some good deals!

A beautiful mild shave today with magical healing properties. We'll be back on track tomorrow for sure.

So, I have a TV all picked out. Our TV did its black/no-sound thing again last night and I cheered with excitement because that meant I could get a new TV since ours has a problem, right? Nope. My wife still isn't convinced it's the TV. 🤪 She said if I wanted to upgrade go ahead. But the tone of her voice did not match those words. So still I wait.

It is typically around this time that I suggest to my wife that if she wants to figure out what is wrong with the TV (or whatever else is messing up) then she can try. After a couple of hours at most, she generally concedes.
