The wait is over, High and tight

When I came home yesterday I was greeted by a very large and heavy box sitting outside my front door. My Kingsong F22 Pro had finally completed it’s very long journey from a factory in China to southwest Florida. I chose to do nothing with the wheel last night as I had other plans. I anticipate I will unbox and setup the wheel tonight, perhaps firing up a live stream to do so. Since there are so few of these wheels out there in the wild there is a decent amount of interest about them.

Ever since early last summer I have been walking around with my hair being on the long side, for me. I got a number of comments about how it looked good, made me look different/younger, and more positive things.

When I was younger my hair was longer. I was all about having perfectly feathered hair and carried a comb with me at all times. Sometime in my late 20s I started going much shorter with my hair. I enjoyed having next to zero maintenance. I remember being high and tight for my second wedding.

In my 30’s I took it to the next step, shaving my own head with a 1/8 inch guard which put me one level above being a skinhead. I used to film my head shaving sessions and put them on YouTube for some dumb reason which resulted in getting a strange audience of head shaving fetish types. It was a bit creepy.

For most of the last 20 years my hair has been very short which has resulted in a constant stream of “are you in the military” or “are you a policeman” inquiries. So anyway, on Tuesday I headed to Sport Clips and told the stylist I wanted to swing back on the shorter side of haircuts. It’s nothing close to a shaved head but the shortest my hair has been in 9 months. It feels like home.
