If I didn't shave all month long, you would almost not be able to tell any difference of when I do shave... I can grow a creeper stash, but my wife makes me shave it. 'cause its creepy.

Way ahead of ya. I ordered a #12 guard for clippers and used it on the beard mid September.... Now it won't be touched at all until February... Then I may or may not trim it a little.

Have been. Just the news. Had to interpret for a governor, 2 mayors, and 4 congressmen. It was just press conferences and the like.

I am right there with you. Patchy and nasty. Tried the stash thing once in the early 2000's. Wife hated it. Got told I looked like a 70's porn star - at church. Shaved it off and haven't stopped since.

Mine is too... It never clears after a multi-quote. Until, I don't know when. It just doesn't clear. Probably till I clear my cookies or something.

I have the same issue, but don't clear the cookies. It just seems to randomly clear itself, but is certainly annoying until it does.

I already had a pretty good beard started and then my grandma passed away last week. Had to shave it off Tuesday for her rosary, so I'm starting all over just in time for November. I won't be shaving again until March 24th for Misti's birthday.

No mullet at all that's two years of growth. Donated to locks of love last week. 16 inches worth but I still have the beard.

I want to enter how do I tell what spots are open?
 
I'm a bit exhausted between my sudden work trip to Arizona from last Sunday to Wednesday, followed by 3 days of beekeeping fun. Thursday I was in an all day class on "Building a Sustainable Apiary" talk by a guy from Tulsa Urban Bees, and then Friday and Saturday was the Texas Beekeepers Association annual conference. Forgot I had "Sausage Fest" tickets from church for lunch today, so double-booked lunch. Went to the 8 am service, picked up the sausage plates to go, then ran home to put them in the fridge. Then headed to Walker's Honey Farm in Rogers, TX, where Clint Walker II hosted us for a behind the scenes tour of the honey plant and the relatively new winery (Dancing Bee Winery). Had some lunch at their fairly new brick oven bistro/food truck, then hung around for some mead tasting. I'm a newbie, so it was good to meet some of the folks and the keynote speaker was there for the tour and some mead as well. My wife and I had the pleasure of spending time not only with Clint, but with Dr. Jim and Mrs. Maryann (she "only has a Master's Degree) Frazier who are both professors of entomology (bugs) at University of Pennsylvania.

I took along a sample of my only honey from this year (new hives) because we couldn't figure out what it was at the local club. For once in his life, ZZ was stumped. Clint took a taste and immediately announced that it was over 90% pecan honeydew honey. This led to a discussion where Maryann explained that aphids feed on the fluids within the veins of the pecan tree leaves, not acually consuming the leaves, just drinking the juice. They then excrete (i.e. poop) honeydew, which is a clear, sticky fluid full of sugar that looks like dew on the leaves. Honeybees (along with wasps and ants) collect the honeydew and the bees turn it into honey (which of course involves ingesting it into the honey stomach then regurgitating it). So, this really great tasting is not just bee vomit, but it is aphid poop that has been eaten and then vomited. I tasted some of Clint's samles down in the store, and it sure enough did taste the same as his pecan honeydew honey.

After all this excitement and the mead sampling, we brought home 4 bottles of melomel (mead with fruit juice) and a Beckehead growler full of another melomel (orange & hops). The stuff in the growler tastes a bit like Blue Moon with orange plus a little grain alcohol kick. I had a couple glasses with the sausagefest "to-go" for dinner.



To be legal, they needed a label that included the FDA alcohol warning on the growler, so they slapped on one of theirs, but did not cover the BH logo which you can almost see on the right edge. The label they picked happened to be from one of the bottles we bought since the "Merry Texmas" is not on tap. It's a cranberry-orange melomel, so we got a couple bottles for Thanksgiving and Christmas (if they last that long....).

Right on, Psyop. I am a little over two years without a hair cut. Probably going to get it chopped off and donate it after winter. Never had long hair before, but I figure in 30 years when I am bald, I can say that I had long hair once. Kind of wondering how my motorcycle helmet will fit without all the hair.:D
 
Hey Psy, how you been man? Seen you on and off, but its been forever since I heard how you were. Hows life ?
