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

My Godrej Round started crumbling heavily this morning and no smooshing would bring it back together. I decided to drown it and make a smooth paste for tomorrow's shave. Well, it will be a paste when some of the water evaporates. :p I figure this will load easier and might even see me through the weekend.

And this folks is the kind of penny-pinching that allows you to retire early.
 
Well owned by and the same chocolate are different things.
 
The chocolate chips are soooooo good/rich that I once forgot to add the butter (remembering only when the cookies were nearly done) and they still turned out great!
 
Strangely enough, neither my wife nor I have felt that we have gone without something we've wanted. We traveled a few times per year (pre-Covid, of course), coming back from Los Cabos in January (or was that Feb? :unsure:) and enjoying cruisingon a regular basis. Both of us being savers by nature, we actually prefer home cooking over eating out. Even after a GREAT meal out, we look at the bill and say things like "Wow, that was 3 weeks worth of groceries." We tend not to eat out for a few months aftersomething like that. :ROFLMAO:

A highlight at my daughter’s college cafeteria in Montreal is the regular poutine night. This week it was with sweet potato fries. Last week the poutine was topped with Mac and cheese. You canucks really know how to party!

Small nick under my lip this morning. Two strange things about that:
- it was with an Injector!
- it was during the WTG pass!
Whazzupwitdat?

My Godrej Round will finish tomorrow and then it's on to a Haslinger Aloe Vera puck.
 
Gotta love typos. :love: Even a quick proof-read before posting has the brain seeing what it thinks the words should be.
 
Last shave with my Godrej Round Sludge :ROFLMAO: this morning. It provided just over 2 month's worth of great daily shaves. 'Tis the little blue puck-o-joy in my book. :love:

Tomorrow will see me start in on a puck of Haslinger Aloe Vera.
