    I think the Green safety vest is kept on at all times so you don’t misidentifie them as a non-WindowLicker.

    Can’t wait to peal my big hooded winter coat off before I get into any vehicle, impedes my movements too much not to mention I would have to drive with the windows open for fear of my innards boiling.

    Freightliner front-side heaters are finicky/hit or miss on reliability. If you forget to do the reset when needed before you roll, you might not get warm air.

    I know you can get some warm air by turning the knobs all the way to cold, and slowly creeping it warmer in 30 second intervals, but even then you might still be cold. lol

    Carhartt has nice, long sleeve button-ups and wool sleeveless vests. I've found a happy medium there. I can work outside and stay warm, and drive the truck without getting hot, or feeling like movements are impaired.

    Ah well then you are like me, except the rest of my body clothes make me itch. My head is fine, but everywhere else, most clothes make me create a pressure I can't describe especially when its touching my neck and armpit areas.

    My parents spent thousands of dollars trying to buy me clothes. I would leave with new shirts, then I would home come with the neck lines and armpits stretched out to the point teachers thought my parents were neglecting me and buying me orphan clothing. Thinking back on it now I feel bad. but I couldn't help it. I still do it. It feels horrid.

    I am by Nature a itchy scratchy person. Always have been. Hard to believe I did many years working with fiberglass in manufacturing and repairs.

    Allergic to apples, pears, peaches and A Mango would kill me.

    New allergies cats and nuts and wheat bread. 54 yo now. Better never become allergic to pizza, beer, or steak or I am out of here.

    Hey guys, question for you heartland folks..
    Is it acceptable for a west coast city boy like myself to suddenly wear a cowboy hat? Nobody will know I’ve never ridden a horse or been on a ranch.
