Only if your isolation lets you go to the hardware store for supplies ..... otherwise what project ?

That is about all I am doing right now.

Oh, and here you go.

Mustache time.

In order (provided the iPod uploads them in correct order) fresh out of the shower, styled, waxed (I use pomade), and braided.

Now why didn't I think of doing that ? Probably because I don't have a moustache anymore.

Which is the version that you're going to keep ?

Better than seeing your feet, I suppose.

One good thing about the boredom setting in is remembering fun stuff from your childhood.
Like seeing how far you can shoot spit from between your teeth out into the yard from the deck.
I'm aiming at dandelions. think I hit one.

I almost didn't post that. I wasn't sure it would apply to anybody here.

I fiddled with them, and got them all right side up but one. So I edited the post a third time and that is when the order of the first two got reversed. Notice how the hair is messy in the second one, and neat in the first.

Should be the other way around.

If you despise that stoopit iPod, you should just use a fancy not-a-k3-camera.

At least it shouldn't apply to guys who boil their meat.

Just some old French cartoons. Gaulish villagers fighting of Romans, who all have long moustaches, sometimes braided...
