Well, everyone else has done one of these so I figured I should try one. It was so freaking warm today I wore my lighter jacket. While waiting for the DW to do some shopping, I went through the pockets. Here’s what I found:
Snap off blade heavy duty razor knife – been looking for that
Home Depot receipt faded to illegibility
Lowes receipt – 2 packs of screws and a driver bit
Sherwin Williams receipt – roller extension pole
2 receipts from mechanic
Ziploc bag of craisins
Napkin
Gas receipt
If anyone cares the jacket was a black Duluth “Grab Jacket”
What’s in your pockets?

Sounds like Dulth needs to design one with special "receipt pockets"!

I have that much stuff in my left hind pants pocket.
What's in your pockets?
NOTHING!
I hate reaching into a pocket for my keys and coming out with a half dozen things I forgot I had. I empty 'em before hanging the jacket up.

Was shockingly cold this morning, if less so that yesterday, of here, at this time of year. So, the only thing in my jacket pockets were the gloves I only really needed to scrape the hoarfrost off my windshield.
Tomorrow, I do not expect to need gloves. Barely will need a jacket, tomorrow, for that matter.
hoarfrost does not need scraping, mac.It is the kind that sprinkles itself almost like large snowflakes.If you need to scrape, it is regular old frost.

does not need scraping
Yeah, right, this is Texas, and Central Texas at that--we have little need for precise, multiple, definitions for ice, frost, snow, what have you <g>.
Lifted off with no scraping on Tuesday, so, perhaps "rimed dew" would be more accurate for places that need "14 definitions of snow" <g> (Monday morning, it was hoarfrost landed upon congealed dew and rain--it was gritty and stuck down hard for being 35º.)Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
LOL, must be the further north you go, the more varied the names for snow or frozen ice in alll its forms..... I hear the Esquimaux have have about thoirty some words for various kinds - and that with a total vocabularly that would fit on ten pages

List of stuff I need from Lowes.
Check list of things I need to finish ental remodel.
List of stuff from last trip to lowes with stuff I forgot circled!
List of things i need to do before going to my day job (just staarted second shift for snow and ice season).
Old candy wrapper.
Not in the jacket,but in the elec. bag. I went help a friend wire up his barn. So four guys standing around as I go to put on the tool belt... having a hard time getting the line pliers. Pull out obstruction, Barbie doll! Gotta love the little girl.
If it had been Ken they might have looked at you r-e-a-l funny.
The Ken doll is straped to the front of the snow plow. His hair gets all messed up with the mag chloride!
What a visual! I imagine with the temperature, Ken's hair isn't the only thing that suffers from exposure.I put a hook on my front door for the Christmas wreath, but when i took that down, i still had the hook, so i obtained one of those biologically impossibly proportioned dolls in a sparkly outfit and hung her like a door chime. Looking back on it, bells on Barbie's toes would have been appropriate.
Did her outfit come with Titanium underwires? inquiring minds and all that
They can't get your Goat if you don't tell them where it is hidden.
Her sillycones were engineered to be self-supporting. Her high heels kept falling off, however, but a dab of Liquid Nails fixed that. There was some color bleed so if you ever need to fasten a woman to her shoes, may i suggest a water-based adhesive instead?
<may i suggest a water-based adhesive instead?>
I'd have to agree - those alcohol-based ones always make y'all loose yer shoes!

McPlumb's got the latex gloves to deal with that eventuality.Which reminds me...at Christams art fairs, i used to stay busy and attract attention by sewing darling little cloth bags and filling them with incense cedar shavings to store with woolen goods. I marketed them as "Safe Sax" and sold hundreds. --Madame Splinter, wasting not

You mean those are not natural! Damn........

Candy is Dandy!
There was a punk band (from LA I think) called Catholic Discipline that had a song called "Barbie Doll in my Pocket".Don't get any ideas.
I took my jacket off. Maybe now I tell my jacket off joke.
Pardon me, I need to go shoot up with the band.

<What's in your jacket pockets today?>
Nothing.
I'm just glad to see you.

Jacket is alot lighter now, Thanks
Forgot to mention, after posting this I filed all the receipts and put the knife back into its proper spot, so I feel a lot lighter in that jacket too.
Too bad it's getting colder now and I am now wearing my warmer coat which has pockets stuffed with all kinds of junk.

No jackets yet here in the Sunshine State - just a flannel shirt until around mid-morning.
Carhartt Hooded -quilted lined jacket.
Two tubes of caulk ( inside, one each inner breast pocket) side slits outer, right glove on the left side and left glove on the right side ( how does that always happen?)..one side had spare pack o' smokes. Left breast inner ( along with the tube of caulk) a gob of packages from Pizza Hut of parm cheeze and red pepperflakes..from last winter I do think.
Right side breast pocket ( also with a tube being kept warm) cell phone, and at least 3 gas/coffee reciepts, which flew away as soon as I took out that tube of caulk.

Here, inspection is in the municipal bldg which also houses the courtroom. Ohio has had this procedure in response to 9/11 where all muni courts have a mtl detector station with attendants at the entrance of the bldg. These guys get a kick out of my pockets and seemingly several other areas when I go to enter. I would suppose others in the trade set it off not knowing all the metal they're carrying around. I try now to clean house b/4 going to inspection.
Clean slate today, washed the jacket last night. Haven't gone through the pile on the dryer yet.

Flip bit set
directions to somewhere

napkin
