It's the final countdown... da na na na, da nananana...

Well, our AC is out. Kaput. The system blows hot, moist air, not exactly what you want when the temperature outside is 92 degrees with a 49% humidity. So, we had to buy a whole new system. $3200+ later... it's to be installed next Monday. I bring this up because I equate no AC with wearing a fursuit. For those of you that haven't (or even those of you that have and can commiserate) let me fill you in on what it's like.
As you start to pull up the furry legs over your own, you start to sweat. Even in an air conditioned house (or in my case, a humid greenhouse) small rivelets of sweat start forming on the back of your thighs. As you pull the suit up higher, you're glad you decided to wear underarmor. Now, your arms. The inside of the suit often gets sticky, akin to super glue as you try to pull the sleeves up, all the while, the fur on the arms is sticking to your skin. Okay, arms in. Now for the handpaws, assuming you don't pull huge tufts of fur out while zipping up the front. God help you if the zipper is in the back. Sweat is running freely now, down your back, across your chest... and not in any sensual way. Okay, now for the head. Head on... damn it, I forgot my balaclava, head off, find the hood (after taking off the handpaws) and pulling your sweaty hands into the paws again. By this time, you're ready for the head. On goes the head. If you're smart, you'll have already turned on the interior fans. No fans? Well, get used to sweat running into your eye. usually after the head is on, and there is little you can do about it. Ok, step outside. People around you are saying, boy, its hot! Aren't you hot in that suit? Isn't it hot? Yes, it is indeed, and thank you for pointing that out.
My suit will be here in a few days. This is what I foresee happening to me as Michigan is experiencing some of the hottest days of the summer. Of course, it's all worth it in the end. The first smile you see on some kiddo's face makes all the uncomfortableness worth every second.
Don't take the advice of the most interesting man in the world and stay thirsty, my friends. Make sure you drink enough water! Or some other beverage.

You are one goofy man, and that's why I love ya. I have a feeling it is going to be this way for both of us here soon.
