Sep.10: ASD2 w/Voskhod(5) ............. Paladin Sumo ......... Soapy Bathman Tropical Lime ... Captain's Choice Lime balm
Nothing much to report on today except that it's Friday and I had a great shave.
AND My wife was *meh* about the cookies last night ... until she ate the first one.
Then she had a second ... and a third ... and a ......
I suggested she spread them out over a few days. FEW = 2 in this case.
Today's workout was:

A nice walk by the lake this morning. We traversed a section of our local waterfront 2 town over that we had not walked so far. Plotting it on Google Maps, it looks like we have covered 35.6km (~22m) of trail along Lake Ontario. If we want to discover "new" spots, it will either be inland or a few more towns away.
Today's workout was:
- 1 hr 10 min lakeside walk

Looks like you’ve covered some beautiful turf

We have indeed, Brian. Hearing the tide / light waves rumble on the shore's stones in the early morning reminds both of us about being on a resort. We've actually had conversations pretending we are on our way to the breakfast buffet, wondering what we will eat this morning. 
I seeeeee you

I have just started play in a memorial tournament for the 6th World Correspondence Champion (1971... thanks for the typo catch, @NurseDave! ), GM Horst Rittner, who passed away in June, just shy of his 91st birthday.
To achieve a SIM norm (need two to earn the Senior International Master) title), I will need to go +3. This could be tough as we only play 10 games and are all have a very similar rating. On the plus side, if I get lucky, a GM norm only needs a single extra win after that. Hey, ya gotsta have dreemz.
Wish me luck!

Most people won’t understand that these games take so long they were started back in 1791

Thanks for catching my typo. Even for me, a 1791 start would be a LONG game.

The Voskhod blade did pretty good. I'd rank it below the 1-Nacet and 2-GSB blades, but #3 isn't too shabby a place to be.
We went to a conservation area in the north end of our town for a walk. We could hear a few birds and a crow, but nary a sight of any wildlife at all.
Today's workout was:
- 55 min walk

Popped in a Rapira Swedish Supersteel this morning and I must say that it is disappointing. It had a much harder time cutting my chin whiskers than did the Voskhod on shave-7. Not much hope for this blade to last a week but we will see.

he just needs some motivation
I think you need to shift your sleep schedule.
