Greetings from San Diego
« on: December 10, 2013, 10:16:25 PM »
Howdy, the name's actually Roger.  I'm newly sly as of this past weekend.  I've kept my hair short ever since I got out of the Navy in the early 90's, switching between a flat top and a full buzz.  Now I've got this asymmetrical balding pattern going on that kinda looks like Fire Marshal Bill (you can Google it) so this weekend I finally decided to go slick.  I ordered a Skull Shaver and after trying that out a couple of times I drove up to the Rite Aid and purchased a HeadbladeATX and some Head Slick. 

I've been carbon polluting on this planet for 50 years now.  Did 11 years in the Navy as a Machinist Mate (steam engineer) then got out and went to work for the County.  9 more years and 3 months until I get to retire with my gub'mint pension (not that I'm counting).

Now, I just gotta go and find out what non-Headbladecartridges (if any) will work with the ATX  without an adapter.

Welcome, Roger!  That asymmetrical balding hair line drives me crazy, too!

Welcome, Roger.

The Fire Marshal Bill reference cracked me up.  I was an In Living Color fan...   Jim Carrey was at his best.   lol.

Welcome!

Thanks.  Hey, maybe you can help me.  (or maybe you can't but I guess that depends)

How the heck am I supposed to pick a team in the BPL?  I'm 100% yankee and have never set foot on the green of England and I've never met with a British lass to help sway my decision so I'm in a quandry.   :/O

Thanks for the welcome!  I'll try not to get myself banned.  I got myself banned from quite a few assorted message boards in the early days of messageboards.   Every now and then I have a relapse. :px

Welcome to the forum Roger from a retired County employee in Houston, Harris County, Texas.  Worked 28 years there and have been retired over 6 years now.  Good luck on the next 9+.
