Just ordered a Todd's jacket in cowhide. Now the wait begins. I'll admit, it was tough to pull the trigger on the jacket, being the most expensive indy gear piece, but I have been "jonesing" ( pardon the bad pun) for a jacket for years now, so its about time I guess. Now the wife is free to get me a Akubra Fed for my birthday...much easier on her pursestrings than a jacket!! Man, I'm getting excited!

How true! You wait in eager anticipation for something you have on order, whether it takes weeks or months. When it arrives, you are all excited. Then it dawns on you that you don't have anything on order to wait for. Medication is the only solution in the interim until the next order. 8-[

i'm glad you understand falcon. when meds run out, i like to fall back on the "wested alcohol treatment"

Any alcohol treatment will do until the next order is placed.

Uh uh...That'd be the gun or a David Morgan.

Yep. No breaks on those two items.

True!! I should have said "that I plan to buy"..lol...at least for now..but you know how that is!!

i was going to point that out...but i knew that he meant only the items on his wishlist.

so the question is....how come no need for the bullwhip? its fun you know

Jamie_H · Post by **Jamie_H** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 2:31 pm

Why no whip? Good question. At this point, I want my Indy gear to be for more "every day use" if that makes sense. Now, how many practical times can I wear a leather jacket in Louisiana is another good question!

I have already begun wearing my "close enough" shirts, web belt, and boots to work. If i keep adding a piece here or there, my co workers might not realize my infatuation with all things Indy!!

Dressing in Hovitos gear on casual Friday is also a bad idea. Trust me!

J, if that's how you're dressing on Fridays now, I had heard the rumors they were preparing to ship you back to LA.....now the rumors are making more sense!

dressing like Hovitos on Friday isn't so bad, it's when you start pumping your co-workers with darts from your blowgun that can stir things up a bit...

I have to agree, I mean the bowl haircut never really went out of style anyways. I say let loose and enjoy the armbands!!!!!!!

...and yes, waiting is never, ever a joyfull time.

I've ordered my wested some days ago, I am already nuts of waiting!

How long till you get your jacket you think Jamie?

codefool · Post by **codefool** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:23 am

Dear Sir,
All orders are taking 21-28 working days from the date order have been processed.
When the order is completed you will be emailed with a tracking number
Thanks Gemma

Holy smokes! Gemma is saying 21-28 WORKING days - that means 4-6 weeks.

Aughgh! I need a drink.

No way! They LOVE me down here! Michaelson, I may have said "y'all" the other day by accident!

Funny, I've lived in the South for almost 18 years now, and I haven't said that.

Once you get the hang of eating grits and baking/frying corn bread, only THEN might you fit in.

NO! Once you eat a whole pan of Craklin' Cornbred in one sitting and washed down with several glasses of sweet tea. Refer to were you live buy the county's name unlessy your live in the city. Learn to Love SEC College Football.Then and only then you might fit in a little.

Post by **Michaelson** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 4:23 pm

That's the problem. I don't pay ANY attention to SEC football (and I work for the University of Tennessee!

) or NASCAR, so I'll never fit in I suppose.

Well Knoxvill is only a 2hr drive from me. I might have to give you a crash course one weekend. Tennesee is obsessed with their Football, didint they ghange the area code arround Knoxville to 865 (Vol) Aka, Vols. that is takeing it a bit too far.

Although most of this trip has been spent in Greensboro, I had some good times in both Kentucky and Tennessee...!

Tell me about it. I WORK for UT (Space Institute in Tullahoma). When they made that change, it really screwed up the works for those of us outside the main campus, as all our auto dial phones, faxes, codecs, etc. had to be changed to reflect that dang area code.

i have been to TN a few times actually. I used to be one of the sports photogaphers for the University of Arkasas and got to snap some pics one of our football games their...yes...we lost. I am also a big Dave Ramsey fan so i have been to Nashville a few times to hear him speak. Oh...and my brother is a starving musician in Murphesburrow. So if you happen to go there at some point be sure to kick a couple extra $$$ to any half starved looking musician sittin on the side of the road. I am sure he will thank ya for it

Grits are made from ground corn. Taste quite good with butter and a pinch of salt.

It is, It's the American Version. Depending where in the south you live it is sometimes eaten with a pinch of sugar like oatmeal, though I don't recomend it. It's best with butter, salt, ...eggs sunny side up buscuits and sawmill gravy.
