Thanks Brian! You know how some are about deets

We can be insistent. I'm trying to up my deets game, but am only intermittently successful.

The Deets -
Friday was my day off. So got one of the cars inspected and registered. Also took Ellie to the vet for her annual shots. After that, it was a chill day. I got word that there was a shit storm at work on Friday and I need to keep my head down for a while. I guess I stirred something up before I left, but I don’t know what. I may be walking into a hornet’s nest on Monday.

Saturday we spent the day going through and putting aside a lot of items to donate to our local thrift store. This thrift store supports a shelter for battered women and children, so it goes to a go cause. We have a bunch of things to load up and we are still going through things.

Today I started the day with a great shave. And the kit just delivered. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. I am also BBS for the win! We went and had lunch with my stepdad. Now back home and chilling for the rest of the day. Life is good!

Getting blamed at work is quite often "Who's not here right now? They did it!"
Blah... Hopefully everything works out okay.

No worries man. We have been donating to them for years. Saturday was a big start towards a Marie Kondo type of cleaning.

Never a dull moment!

Never a dull moment!

I’m good with dull and I wouldn’t complain. I could use some of Sam’s “meh” in my life.

 

[woodpusher]

So .... how's the hornet's nest?

So .... how's the hornet's nest?

Eerily quiet at the moment. I have a meeting this afternoon with my boss’s boss, so we shall see.

So here we are at Tuesday and I enjoyed the long weekend. Sunday we were invited to a cookout at my stepsons, he does a great job with his pulled pork. He also had a friend over, that is a Marine vet, that owns a local pew pew store. Good times and conversations were had.

Monday was a chill day. Did a few things around the house and honed up the Torrey and today’s Solingen. Speaking of, today just seemed like a good day to roam around the office saying …. Argh! So Bay Rum it is for the work week. Had a nice three pass shave and scored a BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! That’s what I am talking about.

It’s a very short week because I am off on Friday also. So let’s kick this pig. Life is good!

Well, gloriosky, Tim. You're not hardly working at all.

 

[MilkCrate]

Well, gloriosky, Tim. You're not hardly working at all.

No worries brother, the company will squeeze that work out regardless.
