Boy, what a wild weather weekend. Wasn't too bad on Saturday with a trip up to the city. Sunday, I was supposed to pick up two bottles of Laphroaig from TW. One was a release from a year or two ago that is still floating around a little. Well, it turned out it wasn't that, they just hadn't updated the special release pic since then. Bozos. Saved me money I guess. Then the winds started picking up with sporadic rain. I mean WINDS. I moved a chair into the little alcove by our front door to have a cigar and watch a YouTube live of some folks near me opening scotches that ranged from $300-$2000. The winds were really pushing trees around. My wife came out once to tell me the chairs were being pushed around the deck. That's nothing new and happens from time to time. I told her I'd take care of them when I was done. Next was a report of the patio heater having been blown over and bent. I had thought it would have bent the round reflector on the top. Nope, that was fine but the base was bent where the main pole goes into it, and some of the mesh below the main burner. I got it straight again and turned off the gas. I think it should operate fine, but will find out later. Then I heard how the youngest's, who was in San Diego, flight was delayed by four hours even though it wasn't scheduled to leave for many hours yet. I got on the app and started listening to ATC. All sorts of reports of go-arounds, wind sheer, and even a microburst over the airport. Exciting stuff that would have me taking large medicinal quantities of scotch if I had to fly in that. My wife moved her to an earlier flight which was then later cancelled and she was pumped back to the original flight and got home around midnight in an understandable foul mood. Today looks much better.

Truckin' our way right past 2000 straight days shaving and almost to 900 open-blade shaves. I'm going to miss several meetings this afternoon as I'm now in a training class every Wednesday afternoon for a while. Gear will be pleased to know that my staff has assured me they'll still bring me my Cobb salad. :) They are almost as well trained as Stefan.

It could be argued that you peeked too early. Should have waited on me as a guest until you needed some kind of ratings pick-me-up. So that's on you guys.

But seriously.......I can barely remember what day of the week it is, let alone remember to tune into the show (which I DO want to do). I usually remember the next day when you guys mention what ever happened the night before. I will make a note to check in more often.

Do you both still love me?

Woooheee what a shave. The super slickness of CBL and the perfect match of the 6S and Wizamet. My cheeks were like an ice rink of smoothness. And Oud Mineral(e), Gear can tell you it's for the decerning gentleman.

So I'm sitting in a waiting room this morning and in walks a trifecta of pet peeves. 1st and most pervasive in this country, it's a male wearing flip-flops. There are a massive amount of guys that need to understand there isn't one person on this planet who wants to see a guy's feet. Then to add a layer to that, it's old out. So he's got on a heavy long-sleeve shirt, jeans, and friggin' flip-flops. That's just an added level of stupidity I project onto a person when I see that. You want to keep your body warm but still subject anyone glancing around to your ugly feet? Then, THEN! He's one of those guys that look like he was fit his whole life, but as will happen time and slower metabolism caught up with him all in the gut area. Hey no biggie, but he's one of those guys that's going to be damned if he's going up one single inch in the waist size of his jeans, he's just going to buy them shorter so they can sit firmly under said gut. Dude, that's not where your waist is! Unless he's going for the muffin top look that was/is all the rage with the thicc girl set. Then I'm not even sure what to say.

I'm now going to feel like I'm silently being judged by Bougie the entire time during the Con.
