February 2021 30 Day Rule/30 Day Focus Pic and Discussion Thread- All are Welcome

What is this? Do I detect a disturbance in the NB Brotherhood force? So sad to see good friends turn on one another. The Buy More Stuff folks don’t seem to suffer from this level of pettiness.

Might I recommend some sites focussing on reconciliation:

Let me know if you need others...I’m here to help.

 

Me too!

 

Daily Direct flights from Calgary to Denver now...I’ll bring a few decent Canuck Rye blends to match the grillin’. COVID needs to end.

 

Sounds great!
If you just have a carry-on call as soon as they let you take your phone out of airplane mode. I'll be there to pick you up, the timing usually works out perfectly. If you check a bag I'll wait about ten or fifteen minutes before leaving the house.

Edit:
Yeah, you'll have a checked bag for the good stuff.

I did the graphic for effect...the fact is Kalispell Mt and Spokane Wa are both closer to here than Calgary, easier to drive to when the border is open, and cheaper to fly from. Yes, the Rye will still make it...

Greetings,

(vintage SE razor Week)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....It's been a while since i last gave my vintage SE razors a run out starting the weekend off with my Ever-Ready 1914, as always it was a pleasure to shave with...The vintage Ever-Ready SE razors don't get the credit they so rightly deserve paired up with the Gem PTFE blade it mowed through my stubble with smooth efficiency...My fondness for the Eco Warrior shaving bar grows with each shave... A wonderful performing shaving soap that gives a superb post shave feel.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Great start to your weekend Barry, Enjoy

 

Thank you Dave. Have a safe warm Saturday.

I didn't notice the dirty grill since I was looking at the food . Yummmm

Thanks Blair. When I questioned her on the tow hook she said "everyone has a tow hook Dad "
Back in my day everyone had an Alpine stereo

Awesome report Dave . Hoping you soon get pumped . I'll pass on the home game as it brings back bad memories

 

Thanks Patrick, he normally doesn't work weekends and NEVER Sunday but knows people are in a pinch. I'm 6 in line now so if he gets out today, I'm tomorrow. If not I'll perhaps be Monday. This game isn't for the weak
13 degrees last night but at 18 now and heading to the 30's for the day

 

That makes 2 of us

Another wonderful setup Pierpaolo

 

I've been told before to flush hamburger down the toilet now and again to keep the septic system working. The guy said he never had to pump his tank out . When at my old place it started backing up there was a crushed pipe in the septic field . That was a very costly matter due to the fact you need to get a permit to change the pipe and need a lisenced installer to change it . Hope yours is just full and not something else

 

They could at least pop in and say Hi over at BMS21

Nice setup Barry. The 1914 is a solid performer for sure

 

SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 20, 2021

Woke up to a brilliantly blue 22°F day. The garbage pickup reneged for the second time this week requiring me to bundle up like a Nanook of the North to fetch the canisters! My shave checked all the boxes. I really like this Thistle Cut razor. It really holds an edge comparable to the Feather Super blade in my Colonial General. The mug shave was very close and really only required two passes. I have two of these razors and am amazed at the steel in the blades. They really hold a very sharp edge. The dome shave with my favorite AC safety razor was just as close. I feel clean, refreshed and porcelain smooth!

RAZOR: Thistle Cut Co. 5/8, Colonial General V2 AC Safety Razor
BLADE: Feather Super
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Original (Indian Version).

 

Thanks Patrick

 

I’ve been doing that a long time. I always eat it first though. A very strong suggestion I give about things that you flush other than toilet paper.
