Music while shaving today

As always, thanks for the SOTD Dave.  You and Big Ben are among the declining number of dependable things in this hyper-fast changing world.  But the thing in today's shave that stood out as special for me personally was the music.  An eight (8) hour clip!  That's not something you see every day.  More importantly for me personally, the 10 minutes I've listened to so far hit the sweet spot for me really well, so thanks for that.  I'm going to have to check out the Brian Grey collective at greater length.

Happy Friday, and and at the risk of disturbing a tender wound, have a great weekend too.  I hope the recent passing of MIL does not put too tight a damper on Mother's Day for you and yours.

Thanks Mike, didn't hear it all the way through yet. Just while I shaved and thought I'd share. Glad you're enjoying it.

It was such a good video, the tablet didn't want it to end. Lol.

So glad you avoided that accident. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't the reason: it seems more folks have forgotten how to interact with one another since the shutdown... Driving included.

Sounds like you lucked out on the mower. I'm with you on this inflation thing... Double the cost is highway robbery, imo. There is definitely some gouging going on. You just have to hope that karma gets 'em in the end. Lol.

Also, While I'm not up on lawn equipment, I know Troybuilt is a big name. I wonder if some of that inflation comes from branding? You can buy identical shirts that are miles apart in cost. The difference: One has Tommy Hilfiger written somewhere on it. Silly, imo.

Happy Tuesday!

Thanks Doug, I felt bad for those that thru no fault of there own ended up injured or just a tragic day regardless. Toy Built is a name brand but that's the cheapest you'll get actually for that model no matter what name is stamped on it right now. I searched em all before zeroing in on it. Happy I got a good deal. At least it seems to be, we'll see how soon issues arise but i'm hopeful and fairly confident nothing major should surface. Take Care !

Woo hoo! My phone alerted me regarding new video on YT! Will watch later tonight or tomorrow
