Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

The Schick Hydro-magic lived up to its name: Magic! #11 on the blade and still got a fantastically close and comfortable shave. RCS, baby! Right now, I'd have to say this is my bestest injector, which before was the Type M on 5. Is there a challenger throw down? Nah, I have a goldfish brain some days, so after a couple of sleeps, I won't remember any more!!

After 15 days in transit from the far distant land of Chicago, my Turn N Shave shoat knot arrived yesterday! It had a pleasant 8 day stay in Elk Grove, IL, followed by a day of travel to southern Maine, were it spent 4 days close to the coast. Then a couple of days or so by mule up the interstate 90 miles to Waterville, where it rested from its arduous journey for a couple of days, before making it the final 3 miles to its new home.




It hasn't fully moved in yet. I will plant in firmly tomorrow (I hope. Unless one of us needs more time to rest!). Here is the new home I planned for it. 


I hope you found my tale a fun read. Ken at FluffyIndustries kept me smiling last winter with the Tales of Big Momma, Sock Puppet Bob (I hope that's his name!), and AST Barbie. One of the more pleasant aspects of winter were the amusing stories and mild rants. Ken is a gifted yarn spinner, and I know this is but a poor imitation!

Have a great day folks, it's Thursday, and for me it is Friday as I get this weekend off (to spend scrambling to get my certifications done for the yearly license renewal for being an RPh. Yes, I know this comes every year. Goldfish, remember?!)

I'm jealous! With COVID, I only get a staycation. Yet your brush gets to tour the Northeast.

Life must be grand for a dead Boar.

You “done real good” Eric. Brush looks good too. You are going to have a good Decemboar. 
Have a good one.

Great read and the knot looks great in the handle. Hope it works for you. November 2nd I had a razor ordered from Hungary that landed in New York customs and has been languishing there ever since with no update. We're over a week past its scheduled delivery date and more than two weeks of it sitting in New York. Maybe it's being quarantined LOL

I hope it is not on a temporary visa!

Thanks, Ken!

Quick work story, I was just administering a shingles vaccine to a gent of my vintage if not older, and his phone starts whistling a familiar tune. He confirms, it is the Old Spice jingle from decades ago!

Same one I have had for years on my phone and has gone off during videos before

Thanks, but I just now remembered better: it's Daddy's Girl, not Big Momma. That was a silly movie or something!

Frost on the pumpkin this morning, but inside???
Yup, furnace shut off over night, so weekend emergency repair call. Oh joy. The furnace has a computer that needs the tech to be able to access. All the owner gets is an on/off switch and an LCD screen that flashes Danger, Will Robinson! But on the bright and warm side, we should have heat again! Very manageable 65 inside, but my wife's illness makes her extremely sensitive to temp changes, so the sooner we get heat back, the better she'll be. I have her tucked into bed with blankest, heating pad, small ceramic space heater, and a cat! I kept one cat for me, but he prefers the sunroom, which is cooler (in all senses!) and has the birdfeeders to monitor. Traitor.

Hope your Saturday is less expensive and going better!

Typical humorous and funny read but sorry about the heat. In laws was out today too but we got them online again. Gas company had to replace the meter. Hope yours is back soon.

Well said Dave!

Eric:  Good luck with the furnace.

Dave:  Glad you got the in-laws back online.
