After, what I believe was a joint flight over New York City. Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Fly Together Over New York City By the way.... I believe you will love this video. Salute To The Frontline: The Blue Angels And The Thunderbirds Flyover Atlanta The Thunderbirds started these tributes in Colorado. After graduation at the academy. They flew up and down the front range. And over my house. Edited May 5, 2020 by milehiiu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Second homemade haircut last night. Hair looks good. Eyebrow trimming needs work. I have 1 1/2 left. Luckily my hair is light enough it isn't really noticable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have been cutting each others hair for years now. The money we paid for a premium set of cutters, has been paid for exponentially over the years.... versus of going to the barber shop over those years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I went to the same barber for at least 20 years. Each year I had less hair to cut. Yet the price continued to increase. And than when they stopped the massage.... I decided to stop going to them. Invested in a quality cutter. And started having my son cut my hair. Later on... he had me cutting his hair. Haven't looked back since. Shane, you have been a great friend of mine for a long time. And I have always appreciated your willingness to share things with me, over time. I can only hope and pray that you and yours are doing well at this time we are going through. I do know, that it is especially tough for you right now. Pic of our mascot.

This place gave me a place to go and feel genuine love and support. Mile I so much appreciate all that you do for me and my family. I am proud to call you a friend. Love that pic of Ayden 2nd birthday party at local tractor sales place. We are doing well. Everyday I just thank God for protecting Ayden. As long as that continues, everything else we can get through. Thank you and have a most blessed day!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks doing well I was deemed an essential worker so I have luckily or unlucky depending on how you look at things been going to work every day since all this started so been trying to be extra careful when going out for groceries and the like because my wife is a diabetic with kidney disease and was actually in the hospital back in February with pneumonia so trying to avoid that again. Anyway enough with the dark things. Thanks for those videos. That was awesome to see. Also on a personal note thanks for always checking on us HSN members. You always make it feel very welcoming and warm here. You’re a very caring soul and we need more of that around these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Another thing this stupid virus has made me more conscious of is food waste. I prep all my lunches once a week. Now I'm making sure I prep to where I think its just enough. I can fill the void with dinner leftovers or just throw something quick together at the end of the week. Households waste 20-50% of food they bring in. I'm trying to get mine to as near 0% as possible. It's literally throwing away money. I need more of that too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have put her on the list. But can't for now. Therefore, instead of putting your wife on our prayer list. I will be saying a prayer for her tonight. Thank you for your very kind words.

Can't finish a meal now ? Then it goes in the fridge for the next day, rather than down the garbage disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, we keep our food scraps in ziploc bags in the freezer. Then each Thursday, we take those bags with us to drop off at the compost drop off that's set up right outside our subway stop on Flatbush Avenue. I don't have the space for my own compost pile, so I rely on dropping it of at composting facilities (which are all closed). My wife does a ton of food prep and all those veggie scraps are going straight into the trash now. Same thing with my coffee grounds each morning. It just seems so wasteful.

My son bought two composter bins for my birthday. Yeah scraps, and coffee grounds. Banana peals, used tea bags and so much more. We compost the entire year long. The compost freezes in the winter. But when warmer weather returns.... it is great to till into our gardens all Spring and Summer long. Living in Brooklyn as you do. I am surprised to learn you are into composting. Good for you !

Our compost group takes all of our compost to the Red Hook Farms here in Brooklyn. It's pretty cool, if you're into that sort of stuff.
