A sleeveless vest helps with the ease of waving.

I don't have any chaps. Can I still reply in this thread?
I do have fingerless gloves. I don't wear them in the summer, but I do when it cools off like it has now. I find I wave allot more while wearing the gloves. I guess I just want everybody to see them.

I like to wave with my assless gloves and fingerless chaps.

Default Let Me Know If You See Me Wavin' At Ya

I'm usually hangin' out in N Central & N Western PA --- Hyner View, Kinzua, Benezette, maybe Baby's in State College for lunch. I've never been a waver (I know -- disrespecting the sacrilege of the wave, as somebody said once!) so I wave at EVERYBODY now.

Actually, no moose --- they're Elk, but I'll bet they look like a house comin' at you when you meet one on that road, because they don't spook like these idiot deer! Doesn't matter --- moose, elk, house --- they're BIG, aren't they?!!
