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

[woodpusher]

1.5 hr walk and now laundry has started. CAN-JAM in World Cup qualifying in a few hours. All is indeed good!

We should be hitting mid 80’s today. Great weekend for grilling.

Why is your hockey team not wearing skates?

 

[NurseDave]

Two guys were playing chess.

One says to the other “let’s make this more interesting”.

So they stopped playing.

Because you stole all their players!

Mar.28: ASD2/KAI(2) ...................... Paladin Sumo ....... Captain's Choice Bay rum .......... Nivea Protect & Care balm

Last day of use for the Nivea balm after a pretty gosh-darn golly-gee good shave. Not sure what AS or balm I will start in on next.

'Tis Monday and a nice an chilly -18C/-1F this morning. Later in the week, we are supposed to hit 15C/59F. Go figure.

Oh man…the uncertainty of what tomorrow’s AS will be…something totally unplanned…paralyzing!

Mar.29: ASD2/KAI(3) ...................... Chubby-2 synth ... Captains Choice Bay rum ....... Captains Choice Venture balm

Another great shave from the ASD2 ... well.... DUH! My aftershave/balm is going to be Captain's Choice Venture balm for the foreseeable future. Feels great and absorbs fast. I don't get much scent from it but when I walked by my wife she said "Smelling sweet!" (in a good way, not a honey truck way).

CC Venture is great stuff; nice, fruity clone of Creed Aventus.

 

[woodpusher]

My sniffer must be broken to that range of scents. I get almost nothing and am missing out on most of the goodness

Mar.30: ASD2/KAI(4) ...................... Omega boar, Sue ... Captains Choice Bay rum ..... Captains Choice Venture balm

Back to the boar. Oh my, but this is such a nice brush even after all these years. Culling the herd will involve some hard choices.

Mar.31: ASD2/KAI(5) ...................... Omega boar, Sue ... Captains Choice Bay rum ..... Captains Choice Venture balm

Another very nice shave all the way around, razor, blade, brush, soaps, balm. It ticked all of the boxes and was a great way to close out the month. My #s were 17 DE shaves and 14 SE ones.

16C/61F yesterday (great lunchtime walk by the lake BTW) and it's now snowing out this morning.

Apr.01: ASD2/KAI(6) ...................... Omega boar, Sue ... Captains Choice Bay rum ..... Captains Choice Venture balm

It's April Fool's Day but my shave this morning was no joke; it was great! Still, after 6 shaves, I turfed the blade. Not sure whether I will continue with the ASD2 or switch over to the Injector for tomorrow. Luckily, this decision will be very good either way.

It IS a great Friday! Just got off the phone with my mom and she has accepted an offer on her hours; financing is the only condition (no inspection, which is excellent for a ~55 year old structure). We'll know is a week or so whether it comes through. It should as the buyers are contractors rather than a family.

Nice! Where’s mom off to next?

Since she's still got some cleaning up to do and the sale is only pending, at the moment, she is probably off her rocker!
