Sparky, it would be far more effective if "Hawaiian Shirt Friday" were done in January.

New Hampshire in May pretty much IS anywhere else in January.  Right now it's 50 degrees, foggy, raining, and windy.

One of the electricans--we have about 24 total in the shop.  It was also suggested we buy him a set of dumbbells.  One of the night supervisors not pictured and a few guys on days have pipe cleaners that'd put his to shame, to put it mildly.

Weird weather.

I was checking out the man on the far left of the picture with the gray hair.   Something about him says authority, I'll buy him a shot and a beer.

He's not, but he ain't the boss either.  Far from it.

Gasp!  An electrician not wearing full-sleeve FR!   :fuelfire:

Ha, I've never heard of the ID badge holders being called a Canadian Tux.  Catchy  :cheersmate:

Oh, believe me, we have full sleeve FR.  Shirts are 8 cal, coveralls at 17 cal, suits going up to 100 cal.  Yeah, those are REAL fun to wear when it's 100 degrees plus in July and August.
