Discovered today what happens when you don't do the patented @NurseDave Kapow!! with your Nivea 2:1........you only get the alcohol portion of the 2:1.......not as soothing as you would imagine.
It always pays to listen to me. Always.
Thanks for doing the research - now I don't need to.
Bingo being the obvious outlier.

I’m not convinced…I’ve yet to see a check come across my desk for anything related.
So.......moving sucks. I'm sure I'm not alone in that assessment. But the annoyance of having boxes everywhere and not knowing which box anything is in, is mitigated by the fact that we've never felt more at home. The previous houses all felt like we were just living in someone else's house......this feels like it's OUR house. The walls aren't the color we want and the carpet isn't what we want....but it will be soon and that makes us both very happy. It also really helps that I currently don't owe anyone anything. I'm debt free and that's a very good feeling. A feeling I intend to continue.
Yesterday was the final regular season game for the Vegas Golden Knights. They finished up 51-22-9 for first place in the Pacific Division and #1 seed in the Western Conference. First team to face is the Jets. The VGK beat them all 3 games they played against them this year.....hopefully that trend will continue. Not bad making the playoffs 5 years out of 6 years being in existence. GO KNIGHTS GO!!!
Shave Journal:
Again...not much has changed in the hardware or software department. Still doing the 100 shave Williams challenge. Now up into the 60's on number of days shaved. I'm pleasantly surprised with the blade longevity. Previously only made it into the mid 50's before the blade went south on me...but I did push that blade into the 60's.......this blade feels almost as good as the first dozen shaves. I never knew you could palm strop the blade and refresh it back to something close to new. You can learn new things in this hobby.
I've been loving the Acqua Di Gio scent for some time but I've only ever had a single tester of it and not long ago, @GearNoir sent me some cologne samples and included another ADG sample.....so I was not as reluctant to use the remaining few drops left in my original sample. But just this morning @GearNoir commented on @MarkB 's journal about the Stirling version of ADG in soap and aftershave versions.......so I went and ordered myself some. I can't wait to do an all ADG shave.
See ya Later!!!

Working toward that now myself. Will be glad to get there. Congrats!
Here, have a bingo call. N43
Enjoy! (Pictures or it didn't happen)
I just can't even with you any more. Two special calls just for you and neither on your card.
I can provide you with a list of the 3 calls I need.
OMG
Every morning when I get to work I say, ".....I am NOT left handed"
Man......I'm beat. Spent the whole weekend doing stuff around the house. Kitchen is nearly unboxed. Finally got Directv hooked up and spent most of sunday working in the yard and setting up my front patio. We have an almond tree in front and a Meyer lemon tree in the back. Was able to get about 2 dozen lemons off the lemon tree so there will be lemonade this summer. And I'll have to save a few lemons for adult beverages (I'm planning to plant a lime tree because.......Margaritas and Mai Tais!!!). But plenty of good progress made around the new place......unfortunately I missed the zoom call with my Carde brothers. But when you're in the zone.....its hard to stop. I'll put the next call on my calendar to make sure I don't forget or get too busy.
Woke up this morning feeling like a truck ran me over. So I know I did plenty of good work around the house. Gonna need some ibuprofen and beers tonight to get the aching shoulders to calm down (do not take medical advice from me....I am NOT a trained professional doctor).
