The Deets-
So I rocked The Fat and Florida Water this past weekend. This week I’ll be using Stella Alpina. I am also on my short work week. I took off today to make it even shorter … not really. But today was not a fun day. Had some additional testing for my doc and after I left, they called back and wanted me to come back for some more images. That can’t be good. But I can tell you what was good … my shave. Had a great early morning shave and walked away BBS for the win! Very nice. Wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! There you have it. Life is good!

I wouldn't worry much about getting asked to come back for more pics. Better that they look deeper than not deep enough.
But then again, maybe they are a bunch of perverts and find your bones super sexy. Perhaps you should be worried in that case.

Hope they’re just double checking to be able to pass along the good news!

Me too. I probably screwed up the imaging when I fell asleep

If it makes you feel any better, when I was young I was a swimmer, and they had these foot baths that were totally grody that you had to walk through to get to the pool. I ended up getting a huge number of planters warts on my feet - so many that the doc took pictures of my feet for a case study because I had an exceptional amount of warts. So maybe they just want to make you a case study of awesomeness. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

If it makes you feel any better

That doesn’t make me feel any better. Tim?

Not so much. And people wonder why I skip deets.

CTs and MRIs require zero movement. Perhaps an image was blurred?

That’s what I’m thinking. I did fall asleep during the test.

Weird. We usually do everything we can to avoid you getting decent rest in the hospital

Didn’t work. I just have to close my eyes and be still for a minute.

The Deets-
Hm … what deets can I give the hungry masses? Well TGITHMF! That’s right friends and neighbors, it’s my short work week and I’ll be winding it down today. Had a great late morning shave … one of the perks of working from home some days. Believe it or not, I was originally going to put this soap/AS set into my PST box. But I’m digging the muted scent now, so it stays on the shelf.

The shave was a very nice three pass shave. I wrapped everything up with the splash of the matching aftershave and everything was right as rain. Now to knock this day out. Life is good!

Home front-
Don’t know if I mentioned it, but the wife and I looked at tiny houses last weekend. Some had nice build quality, but some were crappy mobile home quality. And the prices were insane. Wow … just wow.

 

[Scuttlesoap]

I can imagine looking at the real estate market right now!

Tiny houses intrigue me, though I doubt I'll ever live in one. After watching a show about them, I looked to see their cost locally. Wow is right. Insane cost /square foot.

We like candy cane beets, but can't find seeds every year.

Oh, wait a sec...... Happy FriTimDay!


As for little houses, they're for folks with one razor, 1/2 a soap, a spoonful of AS and a single balde they share with their brother next door.

That effectively rules out all Cadre members.

 

[woodpusher]

I'm moving into one* next week*.

Not only that. Land around here used to sell for 5-7k an acre and now it is 30-40k an acre. I think we have a lot of Cali people moving here and bringing big money.

Almost forgot … hey @NurseDave it’s Friday!
