I'm a Dodger fan...I only go to Aviator games. I don't really care if they win or lose.....just as long as my beer price doesn't get any higher. Besides, the A's are probably headed here in a year or two and I'm NOT going to be a fan of theirs. Oh, I'll go to the games.....but I'm 100% Dodger fan.
He will probably ask for college tuition money.
Well it is official………I’m proud of him, it was hot, but there was some breeze, there were points of humor that I’ll elaborate some other time……and he didn’t ask for college money……YET 
but he did get a new phone out of it - his broke while were were going to lunch - he dropped it - so luckily there was an AT&T store nearby and I qualified for an upgrade……otherwise it would have been flip phone city for him

Well - going to be a scorcher - I live below the M-D line - so technically the South - so a Sweet Tea scent seemed appropriate All around great shave. Finished off with a special release balm from Soap Commander - based on Sweet Tea.
I’m recovering from the glaring sun and heat of Jack’s graduation - but it was nice - and to their credit - just around an hour which was good. Jack loved his graduation gift - $$ - which I’m proud to say he is socking away for school. We’ve had some long discussions about it - he doesn’t quite know what he wants to do - so he’s going to CC to knock out he basic credits, plus get some IT certs under his belt - which will help with the summer jobs. He already works a lot - 5-6 days a week (he was much different as a pre-teen where he thought money grew on trees). Well I’m proud of him and the way he has turned out - he’s a great young man.
It was a bummer about his phone breaking, he was actually going to get one on his one money - but I thought with all the time he works, his goals, the least I could do is a good phone (And insist on a better case this time).
Hope everyone has a great day!

Well, bless your heart.
Our youngest is part of the choir so she has to go to all the graduations to sing. It lasted over 3 hours!
I need a laugh and a shock OMG emoji!
I got lucky with that ceremony - especially in that sun!Yea…no offense to the graduating classes, but those ceremonies really should last longer than an hour
Great shave Brian! The Tortuga is a tea scent also? Or you just finished with the SC balm that’s tea scented?
Tortuga is a sweet tea/mango scent - I have to say - I really love it - it is fantastically done! Jack liked it so much - that I got him a set as part of his original kit. The SC Refreshment is just straight up sweet tea - with a slight hit of menthol - really gives you that vibe of sitting on a porch swing.
I wonder if that after shave kills dandelions.
It be an expensive weed killer at $20 per 4 oz and I don’t think the turtle would be effective either
