What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Great minds think alike - I added it while you were typing.

Decided to change things up today and take a walk wearing an original - not an A-2, but a familiar face: Monarch early ‘50s Car Coat. I’m posing in front of the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere.

Michigan ?

Yep! 107,000 seating capacity, 113,000 on record.

Modern stadiums have such low capacities these days.
107000 sounds a lot but as a boy I watched my football team play In the 1969-70 European Cup semi final at Hampden Park in Glasgow and that was with an attendance of 136,505 people. And that was not even the stadium record. That was 149,415

Hey, any chance to become a picture of the whole jacket?

As you wish.

No jacket pic (I was wearing a boring Helly Hansen raincoat thingie) but in a beautiful part of the world.

As some on here know I am a keen fly fisherman and so I was doing a recce on one of the rivers I like to fish prior to the fishing season. Dragged the family along, made a fire, kids toasted some marshmallows, we made "cowboy" coffee on the fire. Really lovely day.

Pretty part of the world. We walked all the way up to the falls.

View from the top of the ridge line later in the day...

View from the car travelling there...

And no idea if this video thingie will work but here goes...the waterfall...

That’s a beautiful part of the world . Coming from the US where just about every waterway is polluted , I was amazed to learn that many of your water ways up in the mountains have snow melt water falls, that are so clear and clean that you can drink from them . If you make it to the US …. Do not try that here

We didn't take water with us Burt, we were drinking from the river and took water from there to brew the coffee. The water is pristine which is pretty special compared to other parts of the world.

If you come over to Norway again in summer I'll take you dry flying. We'll take some food and something to drink (stronger than water ;-) and we can sit out all night and fish (24 hour daylight here) and tell some dirty stories ;-)

Great thing with all Viking girls/women/wives is that they don't mind the lads going off and having a boys weekend away. I have no scientific proof but I reckon it's in their DNA from Viking times when the menfolk buggered off raiding and so they don't mind the boys sloping off for a bit!

Today was a rainy , cold day so I went with an old cafe racer from my Harley riding days . The jacket still looks good but the bike is long gone .

Your Grandchildren are going to love that jacket! Will outlast all of us!

We all know what happens to the wives and mothers that do the wrong thing by their men folk!

True although they're actually pretty simple mate. Very much happy wife, happy life. Don't piss them off and you're home and hosed.

Saying that if you piss them off you're seriously up shit creek. Because of the infamous "B-15C Incident" I had to sleep on the couch for two months
