I agree, up to a point. When you have something new, it's nice to try (albeit, in vain) to keep it that way. In whatever time it takes, it'll have scratches, dings, and dents, then it'll have fewer washes.

I have that conversation with Faye a lot. Loading something in the back of my new truck and she's "But you're going to have scratches in the bed!", uh-huh, and? Wore my new boots into the woods "You're going to get them muddy!", uh-huh, they're boots, that's what they're for. Deepens the mystery I guess.

My last three haircuts were either from a professional barber or one of those quick-cut chains. The previous 15 years were done at home with buzzers. I'm just too lazy to do it myself since the wife's been gone.

That's funny; I buzz mine because I'm too lazy to go the barber.
My last barber trip was cut by a young fresh-off-the-boat Italian kid. I damn near had a heart attack when he opened a straight razor and came at my head. Fortunately he knew what he was doing. The last time someone came at me with a sharp object, the guy almost caught a few hollow points. Lol.

At one time, when I was in the service I went to an old Italian barber that did a razor cut. Took almost an hour but you didnt need to go back near as often.

A haircut once saved my life. From my book.
"I hadn’t had a haircut in two months and was told to get one. I found some scissors so I approached Stan Godwin, my buddy, and offered to cut his hair if he would cut mine. I asked him if he wanted a Mohican. He said affirmative, so I cut his hair. I told him I wanted a Mohican also, so he cut mine. We were proud of our new haircuts. We walked past the A Company headquarters tent and a voice rang out: “You two sons of **** get over here.” Our company commander was livid. We stood at attention and he commenced to call us names. He asked, “Do you know what you look like?” I guess he was not expecting a reply, but I said, “No, sir, I don’t know what I look like. I ain’t got no mirror.” I thought he was going to have a heart attack, he got so red in the face. It was true, though. I hadn’t seen a mirror in three months so I didn’t know what I looked like. We had to modify our Mohicans and we were punished by having to dig a six foot by six foot by six foot hole when we could have been sleeping. It was then that I became the focus of the CO’s anger. Respect is earned in the Marine Corps and the CO did nothing to earn that respect. In a way it was good fortune because when I put in a request for a transfer in December it was granted. I got out of that chickenshit outfit and that probably saved my life later on."
Stan would be KIA as well of most of my old squad.
It's been a good 15 years since I had someone else cut my hair......Buying a trimmer was the best $40 I've spent.......Pro tip; Don't cut your hair drunk, people will make fun of you the next day.
I noticed when loading the dishwasher this morning that there were no forks to be washed. Fourteen spoons and four knives (yeah, I know @Patrickbrick) but no forks. I don't remember this happening before.

I attempted making pumpkin pie from scratch for the first time last night. My wonderful wife helped by making the crust. The pumpkins came from my mom's garden.

That's something that definately needs the low and slow treatment.
Yeah, I’ll probably do it about 220-225 for a couple hours. I’m going to slice it about 1 1/2” thick first. Since it’s already cooked it won’t need much time. Just long enough to absorb the smoke.

I'd try to go closer to 200, you don't want the moisture boiling off, at least that's my experience.

Wife just gave me my semi-annual haircut. Went from too wild to too neat.
I took the clippers to my beard a few weeks ago and I've been thinking that it's time to ask my Wife to take the clippers to the rest of my head.
Haven't had a haircut in the past ten or so years.

I also buzz my own hair, Peter. Though, not because I am too lazy to go to a barber, but because I desire no other hairstyle.

I do mine because I have a thing about people around me in close quarters with sharp objects.

I think this is a first for me. I’ve never seen ash this color before. It was almost dead center of the formed ash until I broke it up.
