    Too Hot for P*nts

    It's hotter'n all get out around here today.
    I got a call from the Master of my lodge telling me not to dress in jacket and tie tonight because we don't have AC in the Lodge Room. I don't want to wear shorts so I guess I'm forced to wear my lightweight, and cool McLaren Thrifty with a polo shirt (Oh when will this torture end?)

    Dare I say, scrunched down socks with sneakers? Somebody get a hose, he's out of control!

    I'll post pics for all of my shocked and apalled brothers here

    I wear my wool kilt year round in Florida. A 13oz kilt breathes, though , I usually skip hose on hot days, preferring to wear Florida's official footwear, the flip-flop.

    it's hot here in South Carolina, but my Sport Kilt is pretty light, so no big deal for me.

    A problem in Lodge in a kilt?? That would be news to me. Mine is the Masonic Tartan, Masonic hose, and even a sgian dubh with appropriate symbols.

    BTW, you are the best dressed in the line up!

    I picked up my maroon boulder kilt from Sportkilt this afternoon, if the Irvine Irish faire is gonna be hot, this one's light enough to make it survivable.

    When it get really hot (as it is wont to do in Southern California), I usually just wear a swimsuit and spend most of the day in the pool with a pitcher of iced tea.
