A nice and brisk Monday morning at -2C/28F with the wind chill. Sunny out but the chill comes fast when you step outside in a t-shirt to toss the coffee grounds on the lawn. Shave#4 with the Crystal blade was very easy-peasy as well.

One man’s brisk is another man’s freaking cold. Just sayin’. Have a great day!

Your lawn has a caffeine fix?

Snow yesterday, blanketing the ground but all melted by 7am this morning. Even with a nice shave, I turfed the blade after five shaves because .... well, I can.

A new blade in this morning and this one looks to be promising as well. I have to say that the ASD2 is becoming even more favoured by me than my Injector... and that's saying something!

Other than spring rains and a very nice shave again this morning, there's not a heck of a lot to report on. Which is not a bad thing at all IMO.

An early shave for me this morning as we have to go some running around two towns over for a little bit. Weather looks nice and sunny out but the 2C/36F with a wind chill just below freezing puts the lie to that. Still, given that winter is over (knock on wood), all is well.
 
Yesterday was a pretty adventuresome day, over and above the super pics posted of everyone's Vegas fun!

A few things happened:
- My mom signed the final papers on her house sale, closing mid-May. WOOHOO!!!
- I received my first pension cheque (whee! Coming from a company I worked at less than 2 years, it's not much but it basically equals free phone and internet!)
- My wife has her return-to-office schedule: 2 weeks office + 4 weeks home rotation (Better than we hoped for). It's a new office with currently only capacity for 1/3 of staff.

All in all, yesterday = a bag full of WIN!💰💰💰

Great shave this morning, but I was a little scruffier than normal to start, which is kind of strange. Perhaps I need to swap out the blade, but hey, it's still nice and smooth post-shave.
