June 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

The Flappy Flayer

 

Thank you all! The doctor said the spot was healing quite nicely from the biopsy. I'll be referred to one of two surgeons in town. So a little more waiting. But at least these types aren't too bad to remove.

@Boojum1 - thanks for the hat recommendations! I wear a big straw hat with a big brim that covers a good bit. I have to be really careful particularly in my line of work as a band director because of how much we are outside this time of year. Thanks again.

 

Thank you Mark. We're making great time with her driving.

I'm on vacation this week, but shouldn't the rest of you be busy working, being productive, or something like that?

 

Fillet o' Face?

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Good luck, Perry!

 

Wonderful picture, Mark!

 

No worries. I think Clint snuck it in the house past his wife.

 

Thank you, Mark. Have a great day!

 

Excellent picture, Brian!

 

Hang tough Perry my brother!!

 

Prayers your way. All the best!

 

June 27 - Stirling is back!

Merkur 34C
Voskhod (day 1)
Dark Chocolate (JR #148) brush
DIY PSO
Stirling Black Cherry soap
Alum/Thayers/AOS PSB

Today was my return to Stirling. My daughter grabbed Black Cherry for my wife's b-day and agreed that all of us would use it today. After having tried so many top notch soaps, I can really appreciate how good Stirling really is. I was fortunate to read all the reviews and jump into Stirling very quickly. Before that, I only tried AOS and TOBS which are also good. Having never had much soap exposure, I think I took it for granted how good I had it. I think I have some 20+ Stirling samples and tubs and do agree it is very good. Once you get to try what is top shelf, you will quickly realize that Stirling belongs up there too. Scent was delicious. It was a true black cherry scent. It was not a regular cherry nor sweet. It really had a black cherry scent. Excellent! the strength was between medium and strong and was delicious. 3 passes with a new Voskhod caught the baby. Alum had a light bite but nothing too bad. Enough to say hello and dissipate quickly. This lather was super shiny and slick and had great thickness and cushion. It is a great soap. If you like cherries, grab this one. It is too good. Even my wife remarked at how good the lather and scent was and my daughter just loved the feel of it on her face and loved the scent as well. A few pennies of soap and we all enjoyed the morning more than usual. What a great way to start the day.

 

I used to have meetings.

Seemed like they were a lot of fun. I'm having trouble remembering the details now.

Lunch meetings were my favorite.

 

Fun? Meetings? Has retirement affected you that much?

The lunch meetings aren't too bad, although today's lunch meeting isn't a great example. My boss's staff meeting went long right through lunch, but there was no involved.

 

Good luck on it, Perry.

 

y'know, @clint64, I just found out a second ago that never got sent!
