Lol right. Weekends being 2 days off in a row. As far as the rest, well, plumbing offers much of the same.
Lookin’ good dude!
Need a straight razor?Mrs. Rookie cannot stand it when I'm clean shaven! It's bad enough that I am 4 years younger then her, but without the beard I look it. And that I believe is the unforgivable sin.
I got smart this time. When my current oldest child was just a little baby, I messed up trimming and the beard came off. She didn't recognize me and spent the next 2 hours crying until Mrs. Rookie came home. This time I gave all the kids a turn with the trimmer. That way they knew it coming and it wasn't that big a shock. Now my coworkers on the other hand...
So it occurred to me I didn't really say what this was. I got dental implants in. Years and years of varying abuse was taken care of in one long day. I'm sore and swollen now, but soon that'll be done with and I'll be back better than normal! And for a little while, I'll get back into the practice of shaving my upper lip and chin along with the tops of my cheeks and neck.
I’ve been using a shavette for a couple of months because my razors were packed. Works fine and no maintenance.I have a shavette, which got some action Sunday. It turns out I need much more practice using it on my formerly bearded areas though.
Dental surgery is a pain literally - been there, done that. In the end, you will be pleased to have done it and now it is over.It made short work of that beard, that's for sure!
I tried to smoke a pipe this afternoon. Field and Stream Match. It.. didn't work. My whole face is swollen and still a little numb. I should be back close to normal in the next few days. At least the tobacco smells wonderful in the pipe! Maybe I'll try it again later in a cob with a filter.

You faced adversity, manned up and well deserve a good smoke. Good on ya’.Ok, so far I'm enjoying this pipe full of a mix of Five Brothers and a frankenblend of CH Match, 1Q, a few generous pinches of H&H and Amphora Original. It's going... better than last time.
First, I'm drawing better. With so much less swelling, I'm much more able to comfortably enjoy this. My sinuses are open enough to get enough flavor to be worth doing. And the blend is tasty enough, with enough punch after dinner.
But it's like driving a stick shift with a busted right arm (left arm for you, Al). Whenever I try to clench for a second, like to light it, the way the stem rattles against the new chompers was $%&*#@!!! So I'm holding this deeply bent bulldog. Of course, being a designed jaw hanger, cannot be put down. Our resident Wanderer is getting wiser by the day. And really, the rest is just me relearning to do this.
So that's what's going on here. I hope things are going as well for you.
