Check it out: my survival suit. (With the steel-toed boots.) I gather I’m supposed to wear this whenever there’s heavy equipment going over the side of the ship. I borrowed it from WHOI, which is nice, because I don’t want to have to store this dang thing for the rest of my life.
And just in case you’re wondering, no, I have not gained 50 pounds since the last time you saw me. That’s aaaaaalllll suit.
You should knit a little shawl for that – y’know, to soften up the X-TREEM vibe.
Also, I showed your suit to Missy, who pointed out the hilarious disconnect between your two most recent photos. Now I can’t stop picturing you knitting *in* the suit.
Rawr!
