Hello everyone!

Putting on my shirt this morning, right arm first as always, (I'm right handed) I started to wonder if lefties put their left arm in first.
This seems important to know, and I'm pretty sure we haven't covered the subject before.

I put both arms in at the same time.

And, what's more, insurance companies charge extra premiums for car insurance if you keep the car IN a garage.

I think you have mentioned this before.

And I had the same response.

My insurance gives a discount because we park our cars and pickup inside the garage.

So, I guess Mrs Racer holds your shirt while you slip into it, eh?

Right; right.

I got this year’s insurance deal through the post today; surprisingly little considering my boy racer tendencies! But then no pile-ups (piles-up?) so all is cool.

Piles-up? Sounds distinctly medical.

Good morning all...sunny and windy day here (hey, Dave, no jokes about my gas issues). We'll be driving up into the mountains today with Ms CharLac's parents for a visit to a charming little town called Idyllwild. Can't wait, there is a great little restaurant there called Gastrognome where we will be enjoying a nice lunch. The camera_that_must_not _be_named will be getting another workout.

Right handed, usually right arm first, but sometimes left first. Shoes, almost always the right one first. When I sling a bag or backpack over just one shoulder it's more 50/50.

Nope.

I slip each arm into the corresponding sleeve, raise my arms up and let the shirt fall into place.

I pull them off by crossing my arms, grasping the tail and lifting off.

I think you're talking pull over shirts, I wear button ups.

Always left foot first for me.
Guess that makes me ambidextrous.

For button up shirts I hold the shirt in front of me, with the back towards my chest. Slipping a hand into each sleeve I then flip the shirt up over my head, raising my arms and the shirt falls onto my arms.

Managed to just get home from work before I got a call and had to log on from home. That was 4 hours ago, and I'm still on the phone with 4 guys... Yay, right?

The good thing is that none of us know the system that is down

Good.

This means that collectively you can still really screw things up!

My new tripod project. A certain land surveyor here might find it interesting.

I humbly thank you for your moral support, Racer. With a focused collective effort we should manage to screw this one up properly.
