Made it through the weekend. The biggest deal and huge win, was fixing the vent from the microwave. It gets windy often where we live and ever since we moved back in with the new kitchen, we could hear the flapper on the vent banging away when the wind was just right. When we first noticed it, I mentioned it to the contractor who just said we would need to contact the manufacturer and he's never had that problem before. So live with it we did. Long story cut off halfway through, it's a cheap a&& aluminum door that bangs again a cheap a&& aluminum box so the whole thing is sound box. I ended up taping a rare earth magnet (for its density) to the door and it's just the right weight to keep it shut until the blower turns on and then there's more of a soft thud to it now. Also sanded and painted a large return vent, that I kind of half-a&&ed and it will eventually need to be replaced. Then my FIL asked if I had a nail gun and could I tack down a loose trim strip on his roof. So we went to look. He's got a three story house and it's a thin piece of trim three stories up under an overhang. So we'll see. He has an old aluminum extension ladder. I told him we'll get our fiberglass one over there next week, but my nail gun is pneumatic so I'll also need a longer hose for that. And then hope I can even get up and reach behind me to get it in place.
In other news, haven't been sleeping that well and I wake up with a sore kidney. So Sunday, despite it finally being warm and sunny, I told my wife I don't feel like leaving the house and just watching movies. Less than an hour later my wife got suckered into a BBQ at the youngest's boyfriend's family house an hour away. And they went to do their nails first. So house to myself. I watched The Platform 2. I watch almost no horror but I had seen the first movie so was curious and no way would I watch this when my wife is around. That wasn't really worth it. Then I saw Fast Charlie, that was a good movie. Then finished up with Expendables 4 which is not ashamed to be a stupid action movie. Lame plot, bad special effects, bad script, huge leaps outside of reality. Perfect.

Two outcomes from this shave. But let me start by telling you, that when I'm off giving trainings, it's about being a highly reliable organization. And part of that is errors occurring in high risk situations when there are high risk actions like someone rationalizing they can skip a process that's part of error-prevention. Those that follow regularly know that I have a spot below my eyes where there is a quick change of angle as it curves down to my cheeks. And I need to pay lost attention there to not create the cheek shaving angle too soon. And often I tell myself there's little reason for shaving that high every day and especially so when I'm using something that's built to kill me. All this of course leads to me deciding today that while being distracted with a new razor to go ahead and start up high and immediately cutting myself good. I wouldn't blame that one on the razor.
The razor is very light of course. Which leads it to being held a little more firmly than any other razor so it doesn't just flop around. I think this tighter grip led to less dexterity and boom. I got a chunk out of my upper facial region as well as another zap below it. I think the first one might have snagged a little cut that didn't result in blood from the Black Knight. More blood than I've ever had in a shave. I spent a lot of time after the shave trying to stop it, still delt with it in the car a bit, and then some clean up at work. I think it's finally good now. Although I'll have visual reminders of this shave for some time.
The shape of the razor is spot on I believe. It has a sleeve that slides over the end to hold the blade in place very well. And this one does have a taper down to the blade so the correct angle can be used. There are 4 holes along the length were you pin the thing together with little piece of filament. This is a design flaw I believe. It uses 1/2 DE blades, so once the blade is in place, I think the little pins will have to be pushed out to open it and change the blade. Too much hassle. I think I'll see how it is with just the back pin in place so it can pivot open and the sleeve holding the head closed. I will return to this one as I believe lack of concentration led to the blood. BUT, there is such a thing as too light.
