Steve,
That knife is a Cold Steel Frenzy, a Christmas gift from my wife.
The green shirt is the Cool Runnings (yes that Jamaican bobsled team movie
) from Dixxon Flannel in Chandler, Arizona.
Those are nice shirts and knives. Sadly my allowance goes to ammunition and gun parts. I wear rags. My t shirts can be used to clean guns as well. The struggle is real.
First new shirts I’ve bought in about 3 years.
I have reached the point guns and parts are an expensive want vs a practical need. Yes, this was a dip into toy money, foregoing a spotting scope w/tripod and nightvision prchases. Plus the wife said you need new clothes, go ahead adnd get some new shirts.
When the wife says I need new clothes I rotate my clothes and cut up new gun rags. I don’t dress myself. As a good domesticated animal I am well behaved.
I’ve had clothes in my closet that still had their sales tag on for years before I use it. Because priorities.
I do have a nice suit from JC Penny that I would like to wear to my cremation ceremony. ![]()
well i like both.
your wife has good taste on the knife. and the shirt, well its as ool as the movie and their bobsled ![]()
i’ve not yet decided on cremation or internment in a coffin, but either way, i never liked suits and what not, so why should i dress for eternity in something i dont like wearing? if its up to me i want one of my most comfortable t-shirts and most comfortable shorts. along with crocks to wear with socks.
(to keep my toeses warm)
Well I figure I would dress up for something.
I believe everything that you said but- being well behaved… You are like me. I do have some nice clothes but being very hot natured I prefer shorts and a t shirt. Even in the 50’s I will start sweating wearing shorts and a t shirt if I am doing something that isn’t even strenuous. My next door neighbor will be wearing long pants and a coat and I will be in my normal shorts and t shirt. He just laughs at me and tells me that I am crazy. I always laugh back and say, “intestinal fortitude my good man.”
HAHAHAHAHA…You don’t really believe everything you read on the internet do you? Do you? I am really a librarian. This is just my internet persona. I detest guns. I would never get my delicate well manicured hands on those nasty things eeewwww. I still wear a mask and just got my weekly COVID-19 booster. ![]()
Yeah I am really starting to like fall and winter more. I once had a tolerance for heat. When I had a career I was working often in 130-140 degree heat and wasn’t really bothered. Even in full kit and body armor. Now if it gets above 85 degrees I’m sweating like a chocolate cake in a dark room full of fat people.
I remember those days. I also remember coming out of mopp 4 and literally pouring sweat out of my gas mask, my rubber gloves and overboots. It would be 100° outside and when you first took off all of your protective gear you would get a quick feeling of a chill because it was so much cooler in 100° heat than being in all of your mopp gear.
In my mind thinking of you dressing up reminds me of seeing a friend dressed up that you have never before seen cleaned up and dressed up. You either think man he cleans up better than I ever thought that he would or you think- you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig. So which one would it be?
Back in the day I could make my dress greens and blues look good. I didn’t have a stomach. I did wear my suit to some funerals recently and it felt very formal.
I have told my wife to get the cheapest cardboard box that she can find that I fit in and have them put me in it. Then throw my butt in the big BBQ and be done with it. Clean out a plastic Dukes mayonnaise jar and have them put my remains in it. After you are done looking at my ashes dig a hole and pour me in it and plant a peach tree in the hole on top. Then at least in death my body’s remains can fertilize the tree. Eat a peach and think of me.
Heretic
I had to buy my blues and I didn’t mind wearing my blues. They were much higher quality than the polyester greens were. To me the greens just looked like a decorated zoot suit.
You can get them both tailored made. When I got my commission I had my greens and blues tailored. Now they are hanging up never to be worn by me not in this current state. ![]()
