Pachyderm

Green fleecy rugby shirt, DPM (camo) trousers and jacket, walking boots and a green wooly hat. I face the outdoors, and the wily otter...
Imus ad magum Ozi videndum, magum Ozi mirum mirissimum....

An ad tshirt from the chemical company visited the last two days
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Swatopluk

The rather washed out tshirt with the flag of Iceland on the back and my favorite Havamal* verses on the front side.

*poem form the Elder Edda containing words of wisdom.
The short version of my favorite verses is:
If you have no idea what you are talking about better keep your piehole shut (fat chance!)  :mrgreen:

Scriblerus the Philosophe

Blue sweats I bought in middle school, an ancient blue tshirt, and a sweater-jacket thing.

I could only *wish* that I was wearing this:


Le Smoking
"If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?"

Opsa

Ooh- noice one, Pieces!

Big ol' lumpy green and tan sweater with tan cords and thick socks and moccasins. Do ya think I'm sexy?!?  ::)

Lindorm

When I was at work, up until a few hours ago:

Bamboo silk socks with thick woolen socks on top.
Bamboo silk boxers
Merino wool underwear (long johns + top)
"Functional" fabric wicking athletic sweater
Thick woolen pullover with wind-proof liner
Big combat boots, lined
Hi-vis lined winter trousers
Hi-vis lined winter jacket
Merino wool balaclava
Cap
Active ear defenders with comms radio headphones function
Thick lined winter gloves. (with an extra pair in an inside pocket, to keep them warm and dry)

It can get rather cold working outside when it's -20 degrees. When you are out on an open field with the wind around you, it gets even colder. And when you are riding on a rake of wagons and holding on to a steel grabiron, running the loco by remote control, and travelling at 30 km/h, it gets really cold.

My breath froze to ice in the balaclava, and it is a somewhat strange feeling to actually feel the icicles form in your eyebrows and eyelashes. And the bloody germans insist on lubricating their wagon couplers with thick grease, instead of light oil, which means that the couplers on wagons arriving from germany usually are frozen solid and require a not inconsiderable amount of violence and ether to be usable at all.

Still, it's not raining, and there are no mosquitoes about! Anybody wants some ice cream?

Der Eisenbahner lebt von seinem kärglichen Gehalt sowie von der durch nichts zu erschütternden Überzeugung, daß es ohne ihn im Betriebe nicht gehe.
