Bots seem to be asleep so I’m jumping in for them 😅

How was your week? Share everything off topic (or even cool shaving related stuff) you want to do this weekend. Any plans for traveling, concerts, movies? Music, film or tv recommendations? Personal stories of what’s currently happening in your life?
We’d love to hear it here.

Short note: usually this thread is called Free Talk Friday or FTF for short. On the Reddit community, this used to be our “almost anything goes” thread. However, since we’re a smaller community here I believe we can extend the thread for the whole weekend so no one must fear an empty thread when they miss posting on Friday.

    I like the idea of making it a weekend event.

    The bot is indeed dead. The dev made a quick fix for some API changes, but apparently something else broke in the process.

    Tomorrow might be a fun-filled day for me. Fishing in the morning out of my canoe 🛶 with a friend and his son. My kid is sick so he’ll stay home with Mom. He’s too small for a boat, anyway.

    Then in the afternoon there’s an RC Airplane event in Ellington, CT which is an hour away by car. It’s a Warbirds and Classics event, so there’s sure to be a lot of neat models. I don’t have any warbirds, so I’ll just go to spectate.

      Thanks, I hope with a weekend thread we can make it a bit more welcoming for new members as well as give long-time members more time for participating 😉

      Sorry to hear about the bot, RIP auto post. It’s great that you jump in to post the SOTD thread every day though! 👍🏻 I’ll try my best with weekly posting of this thread, but hope someone else will jump in for me in case I forget.

      Hope you’ll have fun on your fishing trip and RC airplane event and that your son gets well soon.

    As for me personally: just this afternoon I got back home from my internship place after a week of early shifts. The early shift is as usual wearing me down more than late shifts due to me being a “night owl”. Tried to stay awake but ended up sleeping for 3 hours…

    Anyways, this weekend I plan a bit of clothes shopping. Realised that since my weight loss in 2022, I bought new jeans but never really upgraded (or in this case downgraded) my jogging pants - looking like I could play an act with MC Hammer is not always cool. My order of a Feather Popular is also scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so I hope I can take it with me in my travel bag for next week. Used to be the razor that started my first journey with wetshaving, so it’s also nice on a sentimental note to own one again.
