:thanksobama:

Last time I went it was a bunch of rednecks doing burnouts all day.
Yea, it's used to be like that maybe 15 years ago. Now it's just a traffic jam with cops that'll pull you over for revving your engine "excessive display of speed".

And now there's vendors hawking shit along the entire street, so it's like being stuck in a traffic jam commercial. It's horrendous.

:hue: she’d probably be down, but it’s a hard pass from me.

She wore a yellow leather jacket earlier this week and I called her April (TMNT) but she didn’t get it, so I called her Megan Fox and she ate that shut up giggling at her desk for like 10 minutes.

Ugh.. got in the 911 to go to the store and withing 50 feet of my driveway the dash lit up with a low tire warning.

Passenger front is down to 22 psi from 30 psi yesterday.

Pain in the ass for sure. If it's a screw/nail I think I'm going to plug it on the car so I don't have to deal with the centerlocks in 105F temps.

Beard trim turned out to be whatever. $15 doe for beard and buzzing my head, so not terrible price. I believe her barber's license is a recent thing, so I'll give her some time to get better, then I'll give her another change.

Barbershops are starting to get pricey, I have a friend that goes to a barbershop in Jersey City. He pays $75 with tip for an undercut, I told him that was a rip off. But when I was looking around barbershops were charging on average $50, which i think is a bit much. A lot of them serve either a beer or whiskey though, which i think is still not worth it. The place I go to down the shore is $19, and they're pros too. One of the barbers there even has his own hair product company called Shear Revival, really solid products.

Yeah there’s a shop not too far from me that does a great job and charges $20-25 for a haircut and beard trim together. Not too bad. All the hipster shops in the area are easily charging double that.

Yeah haircuts are super pricey anymore.

I went to this cool place in San Antonio and I though some of the “cuts” they made were included in the already expensive price of the haircut and they were added on.

$50 later I walked out with a bitchin’ haircut but never going back there again.

I will never spend $50 on a gottdam haircut.

My barber charges $14 I tip him $3.

Any higher than that and I will go full time, self-performed crew cut FTW.

I use a step above this level of Wahl clippers every Sunday or every other Sunday to keep my head buzzed. It makes the $20-30 with a tip at a barber once every few months to clean my beard up more worth it. I use it on my beard here and there, but it’s a pain the the ass trying to shape it myself.

I think my friend charges me $20 and I usually tip $5, but the last two times I've went there was 9 months of hair growth and she washes it before and after :megusta:

Nice.

I had never seen one in the wild until we went to Alaska. They are literally as abundant as pigeons in NY, or seagulls at any beach in California up there. Was pretty :mindblown: to see hundreds of them in the treeline and swarming over the coast.
