Injector razors
I've been missing from SMF for quite some time, having been mostly satisfied with my (rather large) stash of various soaps and creams, and my (again, rather large) collection of vintage DE razors. However, my wanderlust, combined with my sense of nostalgia, has pushed me into the world of injector r...

Re: Gin
I've always enjoyed a good gin and tonic and have explored many different brands and types of gin. Sadly, I've developed a quinine sensitivity that my doctor said could quickly develope into a fatal reaction, so I've been exploring other mixers. I've discovered I quite like martinis, and I enjoy all...

Re: Sherlock
The wife and I watched an episode on PBS' Masterpiece Mystery last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we searched Netflix and have since watched another episode We enjoyed that as well. We will be watching the rest. I thought Cumberbatch over-acted a bit as Khan in the latest Star Trek film and w...

Racoons are kept away the same way any vermin are kept away. You inject them with a piece of lead traveling between 1100-4000 fps and then bury, or cook and eat them. I've heard Raccoon is delicious but I can't confirm or refute that. They will never return after being given that treatment. I think...

Wendell, the wife and I recently went the route of prefab with our new shed, and I'm very happy with it. Not only did I not have to build it, the builders put a lifetime warranty on the floor and siding, a 30 year warranty on the roof and a 10 year warranty on door and window hardware. We haven't ha...

Or better yet, drive a beater after you have taken down the description of the vehicles that you know have dinged you in the past and reciprocate --- a tad more harshly :wink: I've done something similar, only it was while the other driver was there. I had an old Trans Am that was a driving project...

Supplies in San Juan
The Air Force has decided I need to spend 6 weeks in San Juan Puerto Rico...I know, it's a rough life, but since they've put me in a hotel on Isla Verde beach I'll find a way to deal with it. Anyway, a web search hasn't been helpful at all, and I'd like to find a place to buy some nice shaving gear....

I also enjoy Chimay. Last time I had some though was sitting at the piano bar in Belagio and people watching. A cheap but acceptable to me substitute is Fat Tire Belgian style ale. It is made somewhere in Colorado I think. Yes, the folks that make Fat Tire makes some other really good stuff too. Th...

Chimay, brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium is one of my favorites. They brew 3 commonly available ales, Red (Premiere), Blue (Grande Reserve) and White (Triple). There is also one that is brewed only for the monks themselves and their visitors, called Golden. This one is not commercially available ...

My worst shave was the only time I've ever paid someone else to shave me. I'd had a pretty bad motorcycle accident (an SUV pulled out in front of me on a rural highway) and had both arms in casts from my fingertips to my elbows and couldn't even dress myself, much less shave. My wife was great, help...

Sam, as a pet owner (3 dogs and 2 cats) I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. The grief of losing a friend is hard enough without adding guilt to it, don't beat yourself up about it. Yes, dogs miss lost friends as much as we do. Our Rottweiler/Dingo mix wasn't herself for quite some time after we l...

My body has issues with batteries (drains a quartz watch battery in a week or so) so I would choose the automatic for myself. However, for you, I think it would depend on the size of your hands and wrists. A 40mm watch may seem overly large if you have smaller hands or skinny forearms. I do think th...
