Ramblings of a MilkCrate

[Graybeard57]

Yeah, this soap/AS will be back in the rotation again.

It's a good one alright. Love the Gaelic Tweed scent: rich and manly. Women seem to react one of two ways: total swoon accompanied by rapid removal of clothes, or else with my wife's reaction of coughing/wheezing/difficulty breathing.

Quick! Get the replacements before your willpower sets in!

I’m still trying not to be the leader on the “S” board.

It is a great scent.

Looks like Chris jinxed me and I will be using this set again next week. Doesn’t hurt my feelings. Life is good!

It just takes the right combo to make a 3017er out of you, eh Tim?

I will typically use one soap for the work week, random soaps on weekends and then a new soap for the next work week.

But I do need to thin the herd, so I guess I am working on a hybrid 3017 for a bit.

It's a start...

The Deets-
So I thought I would mix it up a bit today and go with the Gaelic Tweed. Classic scent and a very nice shave. This one is fading fast, so it should be wrapped up this week.

Scored a homemade Bay Rum aftershave and it will be on deck tomorrow, along with another soap that I scored in a PIF.

Home Front-
Had a good weekend. Stepsons boat had been taking on some water, so we re-plumbed it with new hoses, fittings, etc. Found the leak later; was a crack in the livewell, so some fiberglass is in order. Mowed yesterday and did some other work outside. It was a little warm at a balmy 97 degrees. Life is good!

 

[GearNoir]

Warm but fun weekend sounds like!

What kind of boat does the boy have?

21’ Champion Bass boat. We bass fish.

 

[GearNoir]

All about that bass!

Be careful, Tim. This weather can be very unforgiving. Remember to hydrate, as @bentheduck would remind you.

What happened to @bentheduck?

Some pretty looking wood you're using today with the razor and brush!
