Chill out my friend - and I smell the makings of a great feel good movie. ‘Crate & stepson go fishing - don’t catch anything, then enter tourney as underdogs…..end up catching the record amount just at the last second right before the fishing line snaps. Happy ending

Sloppy wet sneakers can make for some interesting coffee* flavours when strained.
It is also how I imagine how our Daves (plural) Scotch is made

Not cheating, just getting the lay of the land. There are several lakes this year that we haven’t fished. Funny thing is, we have a premier bass fishing lake here and my stepson hates Lake Fork. Something is wrong with him. It’s an alternate lake for us this year.Pre-fished for a tournament…isn’t that called cheating?
I kid. What weight have you pulled in in the past? Any wall-worthy ones?
No wall hangers for me yet. My biggest fish has been 6lbs. The stepson has an 8lb mounted. My goal is to make the Lunker list.

That sounds like if you just went to the store and pre bought a few fish to compete with.
Odd, I always put my baited hooks in water. Could explain the pre-fish numbers.

Brrrrrrrr, it’s cold down here in Texas. A nice, warm lather shave should help with that. Working from home again today, so I had a bit more time to enjoy the shave. And a very nice, 3 pass shave was had, leaving me BBS for the win! I think I should have this soap knocked out by the end of the weekend. Life is good!

WFH .... I guess if you HAVE to, it's okay. 
Nothing beats a warm shave on a cold day working from home sans a commute!

My friend, I am frugal-ish. At that price point, I am going to savor it for a bit longer than a 3017FTFY.

I have been using the same setup including the brush warmer for the last few days. Oh so nice! Today was a late morning shave … and that wiped out the last of this tub. Three warm, smooth passes left me BBS for the win! There is still a good amount of the aftershave left, but I can use that with MWF. I still have some Stirling Triumph and it’s maybe half a tub it’s up next. Life is good!
Some pics from today.

What's that strange colour? It seems familiar but I just can't place it.
