Nice shave and pic Eric
You shaved your back this morning? Not sure I needed to learn the first part, though...
OMG, LOL!!!!! Awesome
You're saying that like it's weird. Tough to reach the middle of the back though. I've been considering yoga.

Let the goat do the hard to reach spots Eric
I've heard that can improve flexibility; should help with the second and third passes. Please, NO PICTURES necessary!
The goats won't help...unless they have razors! 
It ran away.
Roger that. Video only.
And even then....sigh. Good help is so hard to find.The goats won't help...unless they have razors!
It's been a while since I posted in here, so I figured I'd toss out a delightful little non-shaving related incident from a little over a week ago. I was finishing up at work at a little after 11pm, and I went to make sure the wood burner was stocked up enough so there would be hot water in the morning. It was pitch black and of course the floodlight was out, so as I stepped over to open the door to the burner, my foot landed right on this:
That is the rake we use to pull the coals up from the back of the burner. It's about 7' tall and the handle is metal. Before I realized I had even stepped on it, it had bounced off my forehead and(since head wounds are big bleeders) blood was pouring down my face. I covered it with my hand and headed to the bathroom. By the time I got there blood was dripping down to my elbow lol. So that was a fun way to end the night. No concussion, thank God, and a few butterfly strips and an ice pack helped close things up quickly. Good times.

Ouch! That really sucks. At first I was thinking of a Three Stooges bit or a Looney Toons scene. But honestly, I am just glad you are okay. That is one big ass rake! Looks to be home made and probably not aluminum. Glad things worked out okay...but man...don't leave that hanging around where you can step anymore. You are too valuable around here!

Lol no need to be sorry. I was laughing about it too. I even took a rare selfie so I could send it to my family to show what a doofus they are related to.Oh man, glad you’re ok! I’ll admit I just gave a chuckle at your expense...sorry!
Lol thanks Kyle.
The handle is hollow, but made of thick gauge steel, so it's heavy. It really did pack a wallop. A week and a half later and it's still healing. Good thing chicks dig scars lol.Ouch!

It was "accidentally" destroyed...
Thanks Dave. That's not the first rake GIF I've seen since it happened lol.
So very true.
Might as well use this to post pics of the most recent couple of Mail Calls:
A few cheapie blind buys that perform well above their price point
and a few that are still quite reasonably priced, and are just awesome
Thanks for reading and have a great night!
Thanks Chris! Sculpture is different than what I was expecting as well. I get a pretty simple soapy scent from it. I don’t really see using it often, but it’ll probably be good for a day when I just want a clean uncomplicated frag.
