  1. Quick update: I had the Cardiac Catherization yesterday. It went well, the only blockage was 50%, which is not enough for a stent. They went in through the artery in my wrist, so I'm largely one-handed for a bit. Thank you for your prayers.

  2. I am praying for you guys now. Please keep us posted.
  3. Heal up quick John!
    No more bellybusters for you :)
  4. John, I'm glade the procedure went well and that you will not need a stent. Are they able to treat/ reduce the blockage that you do have in any way ?
  5. Still praying John.
  6. I'll be praying for her and you, Clint.
  7. Praying for a quick recovery, John.
  8. Thank you, Charlie! I hope I am not traveling any time soon ( :)), but I will definitely keep that in mind if I do.
  9. You have a first rate lineup Charlie. I really should consider the d’Hermes.

  10. Thank you both. The surgeon is running behind so with a little luck they’ll get started within the next hour or so. I’ll keep you posted.

  13. I tried a cleaning method that really did a number on boar bristles. Vinegar is a diluted acid. mixing with water reduces the effect of removing mineral deposits on the bristles. I was hoping to clean a couple well broken in boars, but ended up softening them quite a bit. Might have been too rich of a vinegar solution, or left in for too long. Enjoying the scritch and backbone of my boars I was a little disappointed by how soft they became.
    Keep in mind Charlie's following prophetic comment;
    ( And Neal's disclaimer that I added to my signature. )

  14. Beautiful photo and lineup Doug!
    Well, I would've removed the leaf above the log. Too much contrast, and very distracting. And, the branch next too it. Maybe crop the skyline down a little bit....:scared003::D

    Kidding!! I certainly can't show any of my shaving gear your pics. They'd be jealous, since they never get to leave the bathroom, let alone go for a walk in nature!
  15. Thank you gentlemen. I have been taking an online course in outdoor SOTD photography. It's been a really good class. I have learn a lot. The instructor is a guy by the name of @Douglas Carey over at TSDU. He has made go outside off my comfort zone and look for shots outside.

    I didn't know what I had Andrew until this morning when I started Googling the decanter. It didn't come with the box when I got it. It's called the Big Blue Whistle. It is supposed to be a police whistle. I guess that is why it's blue. From what I found it is from the early '70's. I picked it up for what was inside. Online I have seen it with Spicy and what I have, Tai Winds.

  16. How do you like the Tai Winds ? Any ideas on what its comparable to ? Wild Country reminds me a whole lot of Stetson.
  17. Ummmmm? :think002: I thought kind of like their Brisk Spice almost. A little more Stetsony. :confused: I am not the best one to ask about scents. Though now that you have I will check again this evening and ask the Wife What she thinks than get back to you.
  18. I would agree with Clint. Shambala and Capri are very similar. Shady Past is a nice aftershave, but again not far removed from Shambala and Capri. In order of likability I would say Capri, Shady Past, and then Shambala.
  19. Have you tried Black Powder?
  20. Thanks very much.
