Happy father's day to all the fathers out there.

Anyone have any special software or hardware for today?

My Sea Ice Lime did double duty today. Saved me from the heat, pissed off my dad with the scent :)

I feel like there is a story there.

The story is he’s a curmudgeon and hates all the scents, but especially anything fruit forward. I always use fruit scents around him for rubbing purposes.

You definitely shouldn't use something Stirling's iced pineapple next year then. No, that would just be mean. Even worse would be Chiseled Face Banana.

I used a Rubberset 500 that was Dad's, and I used my all time favorite sandalwood: Santal Auster.
