Thank you my brother! I hope you have a superb one as well!
My wife has a Jeep Wrangler Sport. Tires are at least double that cost now.
That’s always the bummer when owning a sweet vehicle - there’s always an expense somewhere!

No shave today…….
Today did all the grocery shopping at Costco and Giant so I didn’t have to deal with the last minute rush tomorrow. It felt good to be at a leisurely pace and not have to go into work today!
On a small high note…about a decade ago, Häagen-Daz had this ice cream that was special release called Hawaiian Lehua Honey and Sweet Cream. It was the best ice cream that I had ever tasted (outside of when I was a kid - Lewisburg, PA Dock View Dairy Teaberry Ice Cream. Now my father would argue that DVD Brown Cow milk shake was the best - Chocolate Milk Shake Float with Chocolate Ice Cream and Hot Fudge topping - but I did not inherit my family caocao gene). Of course, probably because I liked it so much, HD discontinued it.
Fast forward to now….and this company called Van Leeuwen has released Honey Comb which is very close to what I remember the HD ice cream - is this the sign that 2022 will be better?

Ok, a few short notes to wrap up the week……
@NurseDave I commit to converting you to boozy scent notes (I don’t think I have a chance on the citrus).
@dangerousdon Danger Baby needs her own sitcom! She was born to be a star.
@GearNoir and @HMan - let’s face it - we’re the best smelling folks on this site!
@woodpusher You make me proud that I have some Canadian blood running in my veins!
@Fenster You and @NurseDave need to start a rock band - The New ZZ Top - first Song - “She’s Got Legs - and she knows how to shave them.” Or “Every Girl’s Crazy about a Sharp DE”
@Graybeard57 - Our Steelers shall return to the days of Glory.
@Fightingillini22 - May you never experience the pain of a child that loves the Yankees.
@MilkCrate I’m jealous of your old timey aftershaves - those bottles are the bomb!
@Luecke3262 - After the holidays - you and I need to check ourselves into a 12 Step Program……
@MarkB I promise Army shall sing last next year - I figured it must have been the shaving soaps I used the day before…..
And finally @Bill M - Don’t sweat being the Tedalus Emeritus…..for I know the pain of being dethroned………
A Bingo King……and we both shall return to our Days of Glory!

I have found that there are medications capable of healing deep emotional scarring
I forgot about Green’s! I used to down their Peanut Butter Ripple like it was going out of style!
Well done my friend!

Figured I was up watching Die Hard - a classic Christmas movie - so why not shave while I’m at it.
Game plan for today - more Christmas favorites - Die Hard 2, Scrooge’s, and my favorite, A Family Man (yay Tea Leoni)!
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

You shaving in the living room?
Thank you. And to you and yours.
Brian, what the heck are we doing up at this hour?
I have a posh den with a lounge
When Die Hard calls - you have to answer my friend! Merry Christmas!

I hope today brings everyone and your families joy, health, and happiness (and harmony)! Since Thanksgiving is my big holiday - I won’t get the kids until later which means a later opening of my Reindeer Buddy’s gift - which I am super excited - because whoever he is also included my kids. My two youngest are scheduled to work this afternoon - so Aidan and I may just open ourselves!
Today’s shave is an homage to Terre D’Hermes - one of my favorites - but one I have to use sparingly because of the vetiver. Love the note - but sometimes gives me a headache in large doses.
Here’s to all of you - Merry Christmas!
And just because I find Community hilarious:
