Messed up my beard...

Image
^^ What I was trying to do, shorten the sides up but leave the center long...
Then I went to get rid of the neck hairs. Decided that one side was slightly uneven, and went to fix it... Forgot to take if off the shortest setting...


but I want to keep the middle part regardless, as I haven't been entirely beardless in... years...
Image
What I ended up with. not sure how I feel about it, but it's not terrible I guess. on the plus side, as the rest grows back in, the middle will keep growing, pushing it into the style I was originally going for.

Wow, never thought of lemon lime with banana! :)

Today I helped a friend move some furniture into this mother's new place. Then I made some Thai Curry and I am eating it right now.

Yesterday I got up very early, then jumped in my car and drove 219 miles to Cranberry Township.
At times it was minus 11. It warmed up to about zero for a while. I got to the hotel where I was to sell knives, and realized there had been a communication snafu. I got a generic email that said tables would be provided. They were not. So I had to find some hotel staff to bring me a table so I could set up my display. Then I spent 5 hours chopping veggies and talking to people, none of whom purchased any knives. I sold a set to the guy to my left, which was enough to cover my costs for the day. Then I packed up, got in my car, and drove 219 miles back home. it was much warmer at 7:00 PM than it was at 7:00 a.m. I think it was up to 18 or 19 degrees F.

Good question! Let me think for 11 seconds.... Okay, I have about fifty knives of different styles with me when I do sales shows. More of the ones that sell better as solo pieces. Like, I have maybe ten of the 6"
Santoku style knife, same for the 6" Chef's knife. I guess about eight of the 5" utility knife, maybe 5 or 6 of the 3.5"
paring knife. You get the idea.

Nah. I had a sweet potato and some salad.

So hey, I was stumbling through the internet and came across this pic. Good times....



Okay, never mind... Photobucket has become a swamp... can't even get my own images off there. I'll try again later.

Extra Dammit. Photobucket will not even let me look at my own image! Like they are holding my photos hostage until I upgrade!

Well done, Nich!

I have a sales thing tomorrow, and I have to confess.... the first couple were a little disappointing, so I hope this one is better. My confidence is lower than it was 4 months ago. Fingers crossed!

In other news, I am making a one Meter long replica of one of my knives, making it out of plexiglass and hopefully having a light in the handle or something so you can see it from across the showroom. :)
