lol lol Nick! Same as Fifi, I'm not wearing anything, how hot it is... Been around 100F this whole week, and they say that's how it's going to stay forever so even the scarf is off.

Navetsea, how is this even possible. XD

I had to put clothes on- wife and kids came back from shopping (>_<)

No jacket for a few more days, still relaxing on the beach/by the pool in Hawaii.
I'll play when I get back home [emoji22]

thanks Big J :D that's a HUGE upgrade from my mundane reality... comic & children book illustrator :rain:

That's even better, artists are hackers of the mind. Or are those psychologists? XD

TBH right now I'd much rather be relaxing in Hawaii than wear a leather jacket... But not for too long. I don't find relaxing all that relaxing.

I tried on my new Perry today before I went outside. It was actually 58º so it gave me hope that football and jacket weather are soon to come...

I've been swapping between my Board Racer and 1576 contract so far. I think there have been approximately half-a-dozen days where it was too warm for a jacket so far, not a record summer by any means. I can see myself moving on to the Dust Bowl and my heavier A-2 once September comes in and after that, Irvin weather is just around the corner...

101°F today. No jacket, but I have the smoker going with some beef ribs, and listening to some Denny Martin tiki music, from 1957. My dad used to play this album when having people over for dinner (it's something he brought back from fighting in the Pacific in WWII). I was quite small but remember it well. It goes nicely with dark beer and the smoker. Leather jackets will have to wait a few weeks

Edit: my dad brought back a love for tiki music, when returning from the war. He didn't bring back an album.

"Quiet Village" is a wonderful song.

Yes sir!!!! This is the first song on the album "Exotica," from 1957. Dad and one of his former commanding officers used to both stand on foot stools while in our living room, and pretend to direct the band while this song played. I would be busy trying to sneak a sip from their tiki-inspired cocktails, while they directed.
