Yeah... I'm looking at a very dry and cold high desert. They keep saying it might rain a bit in a few days. Same bleepin' forecast for weeks now... "Chance of rain in about a week". (Fat chance!)
I used to live in the high desert, and sympathize. However, I am now on a bucket-list tropical island and it's the frog-drowning rainy season when you have to be careful not take too deep a breath as you might drown. The grass is probably greener on the other side of the fence, but you can't find the fence because the jungle is too thick! I think the trick here is to "love the one you're with"!!!
You're right, of course! I used to live in Central CA, which is either hot and flat in the summer, or foggy in the winter. I always wanted to live someplace where it snows. Yep. January 2023, nasty-ass snowstorm here, it covered several inches of the bottom of my gate, which then partially melted and froze. I couldn't get the gate open for about a week... I'm old and not strong enough. (A good neighbor took pity on me and hacked the ice away, so I could get my car out and go grocery shopping.) But overall, I do love it here.
Now that is a Christmas shirt worthy of Magnum P.I. Particularly with the ocean view. One would look so dapper wearing it while driving the red Ferrari.
This should be the launch of Gatito Bueno's haute cature fashion line for discerning feline.With matching socks of course.
yes. I am not a sewer. There are plenty of other wonderful names than that one.
Still, I know people that say it, and saying it is not really a problem, it is the reading, of course. Seamstress, tailor (am not very good at making clothes though)
My wife was a weaver for a number of years (back in the days of art fairs) I would help her set up her looms (2 4 harness looms and a 12 harness). I would clean and oil her sewing machines. She primarily made clothing with her woven fabric. Later I bought a Sailrite industrial machine and made sails and dodgers and covers for my and others sailboats. So, I am also a sewist, though not so much these days.
I bought an old Singer from a guy in Fairfax (just up the road) Virginia, and met his mom, long story, the Singer was in bad shape. Anyway, I bought it for the table. The son was nice but tried desperately to sell me his Husgvarna machine that he said he made Sails with. It was not a HD machine though, and I really did not need another machine.
Lovely story Robbie. I am bringing two old Singers to a sewing shop in Manassas Virginia later this week, down sizing and I really never liked the machines. I have the cabinets though hahaha
I once bought a very old singer treadle machine. No motor, it had all the extra feet and several spare leather belts. We tried it out and had some fun learning how to use it. Later we sold it to an Amish family. My Sailrite has a monster wheel that increases torque for going through many layers and sewing leather. It also has are moveable handle on the Flywheel to hand crank if you need to. You should check out their website: https://www.sailrite.com/ Mine is an Ultrafeed LSZ. My wife used 2 Berninas. At times she had an employee to help with the sewing, but originally wanted a spare in case her machine had to go in for service.
purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrefct
Envious of the view, not the jacket
Yeah, I'm in cottage country Ontario...
30" snow since last Saturday.

Well, sure, if you can't be with the one you love

Is it catsmere wool? You need an ascat tie. Or a cat shaped bowtie 😻
Dat view doe!
Meowwy Christmas!!
@Tox- well done
Why thanks kitty! 😻
*Takes a bow*

The green silk is a nice touch. Is that an ascot?
I think it's just the lining but, dag... an ascot would round that ensemble right out.
an Astley ascot would be sooo special
And a matching hankerchief. Nice cuff links... very gato suave
Heavens above! Now THAT is a Christmas 🎄 jacket!

Gonna get all the pretty kitties
The bad cat has taste. Just look at that lining!
Its got cat class and got cat style.
Appropriate. He has strayed far from the mainstream.
"Good heavens Lovely how do you wear one of those?!"
If you’re the Bad Cat, ‘any way you want to’.
He needs an ascot if he wants to be dapper enough to pull off Thurston Howell the third...:)
Oh, Lovey!
Good one, Gbilligan
Well, as a sewist: very nice fabrrrric. I imagine bad cat looks stylin' for ChristCatmas
That view in the back ground .... 🤤 oh my, gimmie
Being a sewist is certainly a mo bettah term than being a sewer.
🤣

Dayum! That is one fine jacket!! I'd wear it if I had one!! Would drive the fam green with jealousy!!!!!!!!! Rock on, Gato!!♾️
One needs swagger to wear it properly! Too bad we’ll never see pics 😁
You mean they need cat class and they need cat style?
Bingo!
AHA now we will know who you are when we see you at the party !
Wish I had a kitty kat broach for your lapel. COOLEST jacket e.v.e.r. Go get 'em, tiger!
It's what John McLaughlin would wear if he were around to be your fan.
It's more like the EGM version of this:

He's got Cat Class and he's got Cat Style.
Festive Dominatrix Gear for the man ahead of the comet tail.
Stray Cats! Encore!
Why would someone object to wearing a sexy shirt. (hat tip to Spinal Tap)
Cats never apologize. Dogs do.
