What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

Hey @mrdoug looks like your avatar got a haircut.
Yeah, it was time to take him out and groom him a bit. Also removed his Android antenna. [emoji1787]

This one is a closer representation. Just picture the Bitmoji a lot goofier and more cartooney. That's me. Lol.

Ooh wait there's a topic here... "What am I anxiously awaiting" :

A holy soap from a holy man. Or, a tub of B&M from our @ShavePastor ... However you want to spin it. [emoji16]
 
If you guys ever had pizza delivered from the place here........ Oh man!!!








You'd never want pizza again.......
 
You guys need to train your moose better if things don't make it to your house for delivery. Just sayin'.....
The problem is their lifespans aren't long enough to make all the way from town to my house. And the other option is just too expensive.

Here in the Waterville area, some Uber type business will deliver. We tried Grub Hub once when in Boston, but it took 45 minutes. Great food but tepid and no microwave in the hotel room! So I bought my own delivery bag to keep take away warmer!

Ya right, have ever tried to get a moose in a Prius? (Maine is a pretty environmentally friendly state.)
A prius?!? Not around here. No point. Wouldn't make it up the hills much less have the electric range you need to get anywhere. Then add in needing wipers heater and defrosters.... Hybrid version only gets 4 miles greater range on both sources combined than the all gas version, then add the constant charging to make the electric portion even work. A big portion of PA's power is still coal plants, so you are creating a bigger impact than reducing.

Notice I said environmentally friendly and not environmentally smart. And I still don't have a pizza.:(
 
I just pulled the trigger on a Mama Bear soap. I was dragging my feet again, like I have in the past (which prompted my question of is it the same soap still). Then they ran a sale (half off, approx) for the Polynesian Red. So, I jumped in and grabbed a tub of this.

No clue if I'll like it, but I did see somewhere @Shavewizard420 eludes to it being one he liked. I know scents are subjective and personal, but I still feel good seeing he liked this scent. [emoji16]

Fingers crossed.


The Polynesian Red from TSD Soaps is a excellent Fruity scent. Haven't tried the MB version but if it's the same scent hopefully it's one you like. For half off MB that's not a bad deal, it's a decent M&P type Glycerin soap that benefits from some extra loading. It's not gonna compete with GD, WK, etc. But a solid Glycerin base with some wonderful scents to choose from. Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
 
Because I don't have enough pipe tobacco at home, apparently...

From SmokingPipes.Com:
  • Arango Balkan Supreme 2oz
  • Cornell & Diehl Star of the East 2oz
  • F & K Sterling Balkan 2oz
  • Grand Croupier Boneyard 16oz
  • Kramer's Father Dempsey 2oz
  • Peter Stokkebye PS52 Proper English 2oz
  • Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Original Mix Match 2oz


That Star Of The East is a excellent choice! Very unique and flavorful for a non-aromatic. Will for sure be ordering more when the 1oz sample is gone. Bulkan Sombranie is support to be really good stuff as well. Enjoy!

I received it the other day. It's is a nice scent, a very good fruit with just enough floral to provide an ample backdrop (kinda fills in the spaces / fills it out to make it a nice dynamic scent). I used it once.

While it wasn't the best of soaps for protection, it definitely had some slickness. I'm betting it's typical of glycerin soaps to not have much in residual slickness. Nonetheless, I plan to play with it some more come the appropriate (summer) months.

It was good, all in all.
