Thread: First Day of 2015/What did you do?

Well my first day of 2015 started about 3 days ago when I started prepping for the day long snacks for my son, his girlfriend, my youngest daughter and my two grandkids from her to have while here.

I work full time and often am pretty beat when I come home so after a barley pop or so while checking email and then responding I'd work on the snacks.

Here's what was on the menu for today:

Homemade Meat Balls in Homemade BBQ sauce
Homemade Meat Balls In Homemade Spaghetti sauce
Buffalo Wings
Deviled Eggs
Crab Dip
Spinach Dip
Tortilla Chips
Salsa
Ritz Crackers
Saltine Crackers
Broccoli Pieces
Cauliflower Pieces
Ranch Dip
Cheddar Cheese Cubes
Baby Dill Pickles
Baby Carrots
Black Olives
Red Grapes
Bananas
Satsuma Oranges
Granny Smith Apple Slices
Braeburn Apple Slices
Caramel Dip

Here's a quick couple of shots during 'half time' as the kids wanted to play some board games.

There wasn't much left at the end of the day.







Great Day! I only wish it could happen more often!

Well off to Clean up The Boars Nest one more time!



I do hope that 2015 brings Joy, Happiness and Smooth Shaving to all!

Started the evening before hand with a feast of bacon and fried chicken and chocolate. Went upstairs, took a 40 minute soak in a salt bath, and went on to a nice hot towel faceprep in the tub before a 3 razor shave. Got dressed in my Grinch footy PJs, spritzed some Armani Code (cause I'm stylin now) and went down to the TV room and watched cartoons into the New Year.
Today though, starts oatmeal, high fiber, fish oil pills, lots of fruits and veggies, and the bidding of a fond farewell to my chocolate covered bacon as I attempt to get my 312 cholesterol under some sort of control.
Lets see how long THAT lasts!

Thanks for posting! Hope its a great year for you and the 'C' level.

I started 2015 at 430am (I can never sleep in) Drank a pot of coffee, and started cleaning the house. The wife spent all day making dinner for my hole family. The last of them just left the house. 19 ppl make a big mess. My day 2 of 2015 will start just like the first day, coffee and cleaning.

Happy New Year Everyone

Uh Bill? Didn't you do that last week?

Hand sanding razors. Defrost, hand sand some more. nap Polish and clean razors. nap

Woke up in not too bad o shape. No football for me, I Instead put the finishing touches on a sanding machine I have been putting together for razor restoration purposes.

It's a variable speed, has different dia front wheels ranging from 2"-4" and takes belts from 30" dia to 42" dia up to 2" in width. It's intent is improved side polishing and give a better ability to get off the edge while still working the spine.
My cloth backed paper runs from 400-2000 k grit and I made a couple of leather belts for it as well. Will advise how it works as I have a few old blades saved to try on it. This is built for resto's, not for honing. Well maybe honing my lathe tools, but not razors.
Cheers.

Nice machine
