    I appreciate your kind works Perry. Maybe one more day with the Blue theme. I don't want to over due it. :)

    I like the photo, Steve! I've noticed that you drink Wegmans coffee. My wife spent two summers in Chautauqua, New York as an intern about 15 years ago. They would drive to the Wegmans and stock up on groceries. It was about a 20 minute drive. She STILL raves about how great that store was.

    Thanks Perry.
    We do a lot of shopping at Wegmans - lots o' stuff, great prices.
    We like to do major grocery shopping out at the base commissary every other week. That's about an hour out. Wegmans is only 15 minutes, so we go there for the "gotta have now" stuff. Oh, and their coffee :eatdrink013:

    Lots of fantastic photography of some awesome hardware & software yesterday & today. So, rather than go through one by one, or fight the multi quote, I’ll just say great job fellas!!!

    Last two shaves for me were very nice and more importantly, uneventful! Nice and smooth without trying to hard. For me, that’s decadent enough!

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    It's possible the finish on the razor changed the geometry of the head ever so slightly that would make it a bit more aggressive. Interesting observation. Oh, and it's awfully pretty too!

    You will have to teach Siri before you do take the plunge. Shared this with Mrs. Drygulch. Jim, she recommended not putting soap in the nutcracker. She says other things can be stuffed in a nutcracker if your wife is upset. She also suggested letting your wife video the reaction if you do, as you may not be able to hold the camera steady.[/QUOTE]
    Your wife rocks.

    Cool pic. Has an eighties, sort of Friday Night Videos feel to it. Random stuff floating on a green screen.
