Bob?
It seems Drunk Boy, who you may recall was good buddies with one of the owners at the place I worked at in Portland and was FINALLY terminated because he was more trouble than he was worth, got his **** together and allegedly quit drinking and was working on his career.
Now, keep in mind this is second hand from the owner who separated and started his own company but he hired Drunk Boy to do work for him. DB’s only problem at this point was that he continued his relationship with a horribly toxic girlfriend who had children from a former relationship. One of these children is a 10 year old who had learned how to make people go away. She had leveled sexual charges against a couple of her classmates who were subsequently expelled from the school she attends. She then took that skill and used it against DB because she wanted her mommy and daddy back together and DB was in the way. DB is now serving a three year sentence in WA for child molestation.
I’m not saying he did it or not, but there did not seem to be any checks or balances against the accusations from this child before the state hammered him. She was not examined by a doctor, nor was she questioned by mental health professionals. He could not afford the 50K retainer fees for any lawyer and relied on public defenders who probably did not give this the attention they should have.

I bought that one for the collar, so it can keep our necks cool. It’s also advertised as one for motorcycling.
Some of the reasons why that brand is ease of ordering, highly recommended (HD is a client) and you just have to soak it.
With that being said, you do have to wear a jacket that isn’t full of holes to make it work. Too many holes and it will evaporate too fast. Also, if you can’t find a decent river to dunk it in, you can buy a gallon of water anywhere, dump it in a big ziplock bag to rehydrate it.
And price. $120 x 2 is way easier to swallow than $400+ x 2.

Holy crap Russ. That’s just unbelievable. Hopefully he did not do what the accused has claimed but IF I’d did happen, I hope he gets what he deserves. If he did not, I hope he can clear his name as that will follow him till the end.

Agreed. I’m not sure he got a fair shake. I knew the guy, he wasn’t my favourite person but I never would have thought him capable of something like that. If only he had a Jesus hat like the Weaselbastards then we would all have known he was a bad person.

They do make them without the high collar.

I don’t think it would be very difficult to find one in store. I was thinking more along the lines of work wear stores.
