He must be a noob, that’s rule. #1. Like you, I have been in IT for about 30 years and don’t care for dealing with the level one folks.
Oh man, maybe that was the problem
Thank you my brother.
When he started rattling off how the internet works, I kept thinking to myself - be patient - he’s reading from a script that an engineer wrote thinking it was at a level everyone understands.
What's his number? I still don't know how it all works.

Did he start at the beginning and cover IXP over IP? And trumpet winsock?
I am surprised that he wasn’t using a 9600 baud modem lol

Today would have been my father’s 83rd birthday - he was an Aqua Velva Man through and through. Some of my best memories were shaving with him and getting that alcohol sting (from the AS - not because we’d do shots between passes
). He didn’t wear cologne often - but when he did - it was English Leather - but I wanted to enjoy this shave - so I picked something out that I wore when I first started shaving for realsies. I don’t remember if he even smelled this - but I’ll pretend he would have approved.
My mom got a kick when I called her to remind her that Dad is famous because his birthday is national pot day - he would have thought that was funny as well. Progress.
Have a most wonderful 4/20 - no matter how you celebrate it - and if you have time - take a whiff of Aqua Velva while you’re at it!

He was - and had the patience of a Saint- he put up with me through my teenage years - which to day they least - were challenging to any authority figureGreat memorial shave today Brian! Sounds like dad was a solid guy
While he was a tough former Marine - and my brother and I experienced that side - he had a softer side as well and there was no doubt we were loved.
Then he became a grandfather - and I can say there was no equal - but I always wondered - where was this sensitive ponytail man when we were growing up

Well I can’t be there in Vegas - but I can be there in spirit. Really cool announcement last night - so I tried to incorporate the logo into my shave today. And what doesn’t say warmer weather come on down like straight up lime. Guerlain Homme has a great lime top note and a boozy mojito vibe in it as well. And of course, my beloved Rocnel Sailor is in the mix.
I hope the guys (and gals) in Vegas have the best of times and will be looking forward to their posts - @Fenster already put up a great pic of part of the strip.
Have a most fantastic day my friends!

Maybe I’ll get lucky (it is Vegas after all) - and it will be both citrus and boozy!Top shelf lookin shave set today! Boy they sure have you pegged down at the Con…did you hear one of them comment in the back ground when your question about a soap/splash set being announced?
“Is it citrusy? Is it boozy?”
Awesome photo today!
Thank you my friend
Thank you Tim!
