    Captain America Jacket

    Nah ... the jacket appeared later. :( And when it did, I sat up - and she didn't.

    Captain America Jacket

    I know what you mean. I watched the first Captain America with my girlfriend - who isn't in to sci-fi/super hero stuff at all. But I'd really wanted to see it and on this occasion she indulged me - and she watched it in a nonplussed kind of way - until our hero went into that machine and out he...

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    Then go on a Friday or a Monday - take a day off work. Call and make an appointment ... tell 'em you're coming. And I'm not saying this as someone who likes to spend another man's cash for him and send him on journeys ... I'm coming 3500 miles to England to visit my family in Sheffield this July...

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    Oh my God. A weekend in beautiful and magnificent Edinburgh - and an hour to Galashiels on a comfy bus. You'd barely warm the seat .... <sob> <sob> <sob> .... GO MAN ! GO!

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    I can see why you'd think it's not a short trip - but relatively speaking (to many of us here across the Atlantic), you're just down the road! I wish I was a comfy train ride away from Galashiels ... a nice B&B, fresh air, the hills, pubs ... and jackets galore! Really. What more of a carrot is...

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    That's the best advice here, Rudie. I totally agree - and make a weekend out of it. And whilst you're up there in the neighbourhood, I'd call by Alexander Leathers too. Good hunting!

    A2 or Half Belf, which one first?

    I'd say that it's more a matter of the look you like - which one you feel suits you and fits you body and soul. I mean, if you feel an affinity with the USAAF and military history and feel a certain nostalgia for the era, the aircraft and airfields and, for whatever reason inside, the...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    My girlfriend says the same thing of me ...! :)

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Thanks for the concern there, Fanch. All bits and pieces are accounted for - no losses to frostbite! And I didn't mention that whilst I was on my hands and knees, our Rottie was leaping and barking at me and then gave me a really good pounce (he's 115lbs, so it didn't go un-noticed!) and...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Oh, she had NO idea of how close it was, Sloan. I clambered out of the river and up on to the path on my hands and knees - and there was Willow - chasing squirrels up trees!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Oh no. We're not going down there again until the ice has completely melted (that'll be June at this rate, then!) ! One dip was more than enough.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    All very interesting there! And I'm sure you look the part on the saddle too. And what you say merely confirms to me that Willlow wasn't going to have the smarts to grab anyhting I lowered down (and I carry a spare leash in case I happen upon a stray or something). I mean ... look at her...

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    Now that is genius. Wile. E. Coyote genius !

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    Even better ! Make sure you get one with a cod piece though ...!

    What do you say to your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

    Quite right. I believe complete honesty is the only way to go fellas. And while being so, wearing a flak helmet helps - preferably one that has steel plates over the ears. And anti-glare goggles (because the glaring's not good otherwise).

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Alas no, Worf. Willow's all blonde - she's not that smart ! Today, my upper arms are aching like crazy - from all the heaving, pushing and pulling ... I'm not used to that. My Blundstones are still sodden - but my jacket dried nicely and surprisingly, I noticed that the lower half of my Irvin...

    That's funny you mention that, Smithy - For decency's sake, I omitted that part of the story when I got to my shower. Mine were like two frozen peas.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    And lucky I chose to wear my thickest No.1 wool sweater too - you're right! Thanks for the well wishes, fellas. Really. Thank you all. It's funny - I've been debating what to paint on the back panel of my ANJ-3 these past couple of months - and as you may recall, the jacket is a bit of a...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    So over the weekend, Toronto had it's 35th Extreme Cold Weather Alert this winter ... and it was lifted yesterday, so this morning's pre-dawn dog walk in the wood/park was still darn cold at -15C and, with the wind-chill, it was feeling like -24C. Nothing unusual in that ... And then one of our...
