I Smell Key Lime Pie

This morning I carried my kit into the truckstop and had a nice relaxing shave before heading out on the road. As I was lathering up with the T&H Limes the driver standing at the sink next to me sniffed a couple of times and then looked over at me and said "You know, I could swear I keep smelling Key Lime pie".

I couldn't help but laugh and then held the bowl of cream under his nose so he could get a good whiff. Naturally a bunch of questions ensued regarding where to buy it, how hard is it to learn to use a brush, etc...

He seemed quite fascinated not only by the scent but the entire process. I gave him some pointers on where to find the supplies as well as getting good info at the shaving forum. Turns out he's computer illiterate.

Ah well, at least I enjoyed my shave as well as a cup of coffee with him afterwards.

I'm in Northern IL tonight and it's quite a bit cooler than it was in KY. Yesterday I was running the ac and today I ran most of the way with just the vent until I finally had to add a touch of heat to it. It's cold, raining, and...yuk.

I found a nice arm hat today. It's made in a similar style to what I've seen the Chinese Army wear in winter. Rabbit fur lined and made so that the side flaps can be secured down over the ears. I think it'll be my favorite cold, windy weather hat even if it is kind of dorky looking. Hey, when it comes to keeping warm I couldn't care less how dumb it looks just so long as it's warm.

Yeah, I love Key Lime pie myself. Could be why the T&H West Indies Limes is my favorite shave cream.

my favorite shave cream


If I had shave cream that smelt like Key Lime Pie, I'd be constantly annoying my wife to make some (she makes the best KL Pie I've ever had). I use Nivea Cream for Sensitive Skin. It doesn't smell like any pie I know, but it isn't bad.

You will have to take a picture of yourself wearing that hat!  Maybe Socrates can work the shutter?

Key Lime Pie..hmmmm good! and I bought my son a rabbit fur hat last winter, has flaps too.
Ya need one of em up here!

I saw Utube today, the guy with the hug sign, think I wanna go make one...then again I wouldn't want all of N.B. Mn. to go stampeding down to Florida in their haste to get away!

Take good care of yourself Mason, and keep on truckin!

I wish my face was made entirely of key lime pie, because I would eat it all up . . . kinda like "Pizza the Hutt" in Spaceballs.

MMM, Spaceballs . . . gotta love it.

I wear some interesting get-ups in the winter too!
Glad you had a friend for coffeebreak.


Thanks. I wore the hat today as it's pretty cold up here in Northern WI. It looks better than I thought it would.

But if you ate your own face what would you use to smile at the ladies?
