If you have to do something...

[GearNoir]

I have no idea what that is - do you have to lather up like a regular shave...or do you just run it over your dry whiskers?

None of that unfortunately…but it will sit there and make faces at you!

You're in a position where you have to pay for someone or something to make faces at you? That sounds like a good place to be

Chris is just now starting into puberty and he only has two whiskers. They do grow very long in 24 hours. He's a very manly teenager.

Chris, you do you they’re just all jealous. They don’t have a digital race car sitting on their dash.

Up for rope drop again today but headed to California Adventure this time, at least for most of the day (it’s a “smaller” park). Long day but fun day yesterday. Today will be even longer.

Good lord I’m getting too old for this. lol.

I'll never forget my first moment standing under the Millenium Falcon.......it was like I was 9 years old all over again.

It’s pretty cool. I wish they would have made just a walkthrough path in it though.

Are you nuts?? Rope drop would require registration, bib numbers, and start 5k away.

You act like that’s a bad thing.

I've done rope drop once......and it was to meet up with bougie. He's worth it.

A bit more of a chill day today, NOT rope dropping. A packed day yesterday, spent mostly at California Adventure. I’m proud of myself…I’ve never really been a rollercoaster guy but I’ve gone on everything this trip. I’ll begrudgingly admit it’s been fun to do so, once I’ve unclenched the cheeks.

A bit of a sleep in before packing up and heading home. The trip culminated last night in taking in the fireworks show and light parade. It’s been an awesome, even if exhausting, weekend! I think everyone had a great time.

Probably going to get home this afternoon and sleep till tomorrow

Should be an OT workout later this evening.

I watched cross country skiing on the Olympics last night. I feel like that was enough to make me sore.
