Mornin' outback! How ya feelin'?

I meant to look him up last night but I got side tracked...................
Gonna do it now.

Hah! First thing at the top of the list on Google.................Butchered WB FBU - Page 240 - Straight Razor Place

Doin good buddy. Still getting used to the affects of the drugs they put me on.
Feel like my late teen years,
Like i smoked a fatty.
By the afternoon i feel kinda normal, but the AM dose makes me feel high..
Kind of a space kaddet.

Mornin men. Sporting a hairless upper lip this AM and feeling the November breeze for sure!
Careful around twinkies when high, as I recall Mike, and power grinders..
I enjoyed reading the bolster and novelty scale save work going on, but have nothing to contribute.
Was working on other projects, cars, garage. and winterizing requirements around the home.
Posted the vid of the removal for Movember activity and exposure. Hopefully a few see and if not from our forum, are impressed enough at the use of old time tools to give it a go. Or at least to donate to the brave souls that do!
Used my RanTan and damn it mowed through my Mo like it was just sawdust.
Happy Movember gents!

How long you on the pills for?

Probably long time, some are indefinite though.
Only been a week since my attack. I see my cardiologist Nov. 6.. More needles, more questions, hopefully get answers

I was gonna warn you about that! Had 2 arteries blocked 95-98% and 4 stents to clean up. After the procedure the nurses would yell at me to relax and get some sleep but I had Sooo much instant energy after opening those clogged arteries!!!!
I was in my 50's and figured I was slowing down cuzz I was gettin' old?! No, it was cuzz I had no freakin blood flow to my brain and body! It was like an instant energy boost and felt I was in my teens again!
Enjoy your new lease on life and take care of yourself! Flow Docs orders, take your Meds, improve your diet ( fast food only as an occasional treat ) and go for a nice long fall walk with the wife. I'm almost 10 years on and just had a stress test ( which sucks!! They push you hard ) and the staff was impressed with my stamina at 62 yo! Hang in there bro, this could be a new phase in life!

With advances in medicine today you'll be as good as new in no time.

My Dad is going in for open heart surgery before the end of the year where they are replacing the aortic valve and doing a coronary artery bypass. He doesn't seem to worried at all.

I was thinking about participating but have had a stash since my late teens!!!
Shaved it off once in my 30's and scared my kids ( didn't know who I was, they were little ) and got carded for beer for the first time in years!
I'll have to check out the vid. Liked your vid of shaving off a week or more beard in about 3 minutes! That was a cool vid!

LOL,same reaction here. My wife met and fell in love with a man with a Selleck-esk type upper lip, she was quick to remind me. Had it my entire adult life until last Movember. Butchered that shave and felt/looked completely 'not me' for a month or so.
But it's for a good cause, fun to remind the wife I could look worse, hehe, and it seemed, the 'stache grew back in less 'frosty' when it did. So all things considered, I did it again this year. Without lacerations this time I might add!
It's cool you remember the Shumate vid as well, Thanks. That was that blades first shave ever and it rocked the whiskers. One of my fav's still!
