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

[woodpusher]

Since I'm living dangerously, I've delved into the dungeon and brought up a 37C slant for tomorrow.

Apr.20 37C/Astra SP(3) ............... Paladin Sumo ........... TFS Rasozero Barbacco .......... Clubman milk

As expected, the Merkur 37C delivered a smooth and comfortable shave, even with the Astra SP on its third outing. No issues at all, and I didn't even come close to nicking my ears or nostrils with the blade tabs! Whee!

There you are talking about whee/wee again… I am worried about you

Another nice and simple shave with the Merkur slant this morning. Even so, it's time to swap out the blade for a new Astra SP for tomorrow morning's whisker chopping adventure of minimal excitement but acceptable results.

Looking forward to lunch out with my wife and four friends, followed by an evening at another friend's to continue our Friday night discussions on planning for taxes and financial planning for/in retirement.

What’s the lunch of choice today?

That's a weird but effective punishment.

Like being offered a fancy dinner to sit through a vacation time share presentation?

Nice analogy ... but they're the ones contacting me through the week! (Yeah, my friends are strange too; it's not just me)

A very nice post-workout morning shave with the slant. I still prefer the grippiness of the ASD2 handle though.

I'm ridding our front yard of grass. This stuff might be a good option.

 

[woodpusher]

Well, it does look better than yellow .... but I'm not ready to give up on green yet.

I'm working toward a very low maintenance front yard. I'm willing to prune hedges and bushes, nothing else.

A late morning workout on the elliptical this morning, so my shave was just before noon and it ended up being pretty nice. I'm still getting used to the Merkur's handle and I'm sure that in a few more days, things will be even better.

Whew! Just back from a 1 hr lakeside walk. With the wind off of the water, it's around 4C/40F. Good walking weather!
