Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[GearNoir]

Time for some hiking poles maybe? Hope you feel better!

We already have walking sticks gathered from previous journeys.

Maybe @Maryland998 can swing by and give you some help

I hope you are too bad for wear my friend!

On a positive note - you are getting your money’s worth from your snow blower!

I have a "snow mover" (i.e. shovel) not a snow blower. But I am getting my money's worth from my neighbour's one!

Suppose Sam is out there with his shovel thinking if he had worked just one more month we would have one of those powered blower contraptions too?

Sam, I hope you recover quickly and your Bride was not injured in the fall.

She said that when she started to slide, she quickly decided to simply "just sit down." About 21 years ago, she tried to catch herself after slipping on some ice and broke her wrist. See .... she's smart enough to learn.

Feb.01: ASD2 w/Feather(1) ............. Paladin Sumo .......... Williams .................................. Nivea Protect & Care balm

1st day with the Blue Willy (Williams+Aqua Velva) and, as expected, a super weak lather but with lots of slickness. It will take a few days to get this dialed in, but I have to tell you that modern Williams has always been a challenge for me to get the kind of lather that I am accustomed to.

I also started in on a month with a Feather blade. We'll see how this goes; I've never tried to do this with a Feather before.

Will this be the straw that breaks the 3017 camel’s back?!

Stay tuned folks!

With a singular blade

Spoiler: Spoiler

(which will suck)

or just using Feather for a month?

 

[woodpusher]

Going to shoot for a single Feather blade for the month. A month with an Injector blade is a piece of cake; I have done a month with a single cart before, so I think I will be able to push through.

You should know me better than that.

It's just above freezing (just below with the slight wind chill), so my wife wanted to go or a walk before the storm hits tomorrow. Due to my hip still being out of whack, we agreed to walk the neighbourhood rather than a trail walk. When we were almost done our 50 mins, she commented that I was walking with a limp and next time, rather than have me help her get up, she will roll over in the snow and get up on her hands and knees.

Oh, I forgot to include a (rare) pic for all'y'all, but if you are in some other threads, you will have already seen my setup for February.

wouldn’t the normal Sam response to his wife be - “just don’t fall?”

Funnily enough, on the walk, I quoted her that stair-lift commercial that uses that exact same line about how to stop seniors from falling in the home.

I’m surprised you are alive

 

[NurseDave]

A pic! What a rare and personal insight into that which is Sam’s very repetitive life.

 

[GearNoir]

Sam is lathering up de-chocolated Mounds bars?

Feb.02: ASD2 w/Feather(2) ............. Paladin Sumo .......... Williams .................................. Nivea Protect & Care balm

A better lather today than yesterday, but still nowhere near what I shoot for, even though I loaded a LOT longer and had copious amounts of "fling fodder." Still, it's hard to complain when it is so slick.

Storm system coming in later today and I am already anticipating the back pain.

No kids in the neighborhood that you can hire for $5?
