Made my quarterly sojourn to gas up Das Audi. Put on jeans. Gassed up in March and then again in September.
Also bought a battery tender for Das Audi since it just sits in the garage.
On a gravel road, never a park My wife isn’t adventurous enough to be willing to do that.
Dude, *I* wasn't the one leaving them there!!!
A strange observation I've noticed during this whole pandemic is men's hair, especially hair color. Two things have stuck out well, first was who had their hair colored professionally. You don't turn gray in a matter of 3 months, at least not from none to about 90% gray. The second is the people still coloring from home. One guy we know has really nasty, greasy looking hair and does the dumb and dumber haircut. In his 50s and it always has that cheap, home dyed look. Definitely a difference between home dyed and professionally done.
Women I haven't paid too much attention to because I think even women aren't sure what their natural hair color is and most admit to coloring their hair. There have been a few that have struck me, due to the election, I noticed Joni Ernst went gray fast and am guessing she colored it hard, one like that I've noticed. My nearly 80 year old MIL still colors, my mom was too cheap and never did.

I've never dyed my hair and never will.
I bought a pair of clippers and finally cut my own hair in July. Did it again in October and will most likely cut most of it off real soon. The front doesn't look so bad but the back is difficult. Not that many people see me.
Is that going to affect your too attractiveness that keeps the ladies from hitting on you?
Still one of my favorites. So many great lines. "Let's be independent together!"

One of our managers is an Iowa fan. I've mentioned calling in sick.
I doubt that I watch that one.
I've been coloring mine since my late thirties. I got my first grey hairs while still a teenager...genetics...and when hey started coming in more frequently and plucking was no longer a viable option, I went to a professional and had her match my natural color at that time. I went in about every five weeks to get the roots touched up. With long hair, if you use home kits it's a nearly impossible task to get it evenly distributed, and requires at least two people anyway. Also, if you don't use the right products, your hair turns to a straw-like texture. F that.
I haven't been to see Suzanne since February. I've just been letting the grey grow out (along with my bangs). I figure if anyone notices (and they probably do!), they'll just attribute it to "covid hair". I usually wear it twisted into a clip on the back of my head, so the front is about 75% grey and what's in the clip is still auburn. I'm slowly trimming the ends off, but it will take several years for it to grow out enough to get rid of the last of the colored part. The color is fading over time, too, so that helps.
Covid hair for men equals longer hair & bad home haircuts. Covid hair for many older women equals photo-negative bottle-blond roots.
I'm thinking it may be an exercise in masochism...but I'll still probably watch. I'm really stupid like that. I attended most of the McDermott era games.
I've cut my own for about 20 years. I use a #2 (1/4") guard and go to town. Wife trims up the back, and I do around my ears in the mirror, hit the shower, then look to see where I missed. I cut it about every 6-8 weeks.

I cut my dads and will lightly trim mine. Go to the barber 3 times a year. Sometimes just twice. He doesn’t cut my hair as short so he can get me in 3 times I think. I wife goes every three weeks. Used to be every two.
