Shavewise, May is now in the books and this month saw 31 DE shaves, split between the Merkur 37C and the Feather ASD2. Very different razors but both deliver easy peasy shaves.

Another scorcher of a day here today (humidex ~36C/97F) but I know that in August, we will consider this a welcome reprise from the true summer heat.

That's some hot weather. 90F/32F here now, shouldn't get hotter today. Enjoy your weekend, Sam.

We're supposed to drop back about 10C/18F for Sat/Sun. I hope so, as our tiny veggies need a reprieve.

We broke out our bikes for the first time in years (pedal, not vroom-vroom putt-putt bikes) for the first time in a few years. The shifter and rear derailleur on my wife's bike needed work and an hour later 5/7 gears are clicking in (vs 3/7 a t the start). Still more work to do, but we have time as it turns out she doesn't have the range of motion in her left knee to keep her foot on the pedal. Looks like more gym rehab is needed from her pre-pandemic knee replacement.

Discovered this today…. Had to have happened yesterday when we stopped at the greenhouse/nursery for 15 mins yesterday to pick up some squash to plant. Not even a note left for us . Grrrrr
I would be micturated. Must have hit your car pretty hard, knocking it on its side and all.

Well, what is one to do? Cameras at the greenhouse only cover the building entrances and with no note on the car (see, not all Canadians are polite), getting upset would accomplish nothing other than getting me upset and, by extension, getting my wife upset in turn.

I really respect your attitude, Sam. Getting upset or angry by this relatively minor damage would be a waste of emotional energy. It sucks having to pay the deductible for someone else's carelessness, but ultimately it's only a car. No one was hurt, so it's simply an unexpected expense and inconvenience.Well, what is one to do?

I hope not to end up being out any cash, and that a bit of elbow grease (once my tennis elbow recovers) and some touch-up paint will do the trick. It won't have to be pretty; just enough to protect the surface on this 10 year old vehicle.
