Sunday: Clear, Almost Warm

Black Nocona bull-hide cowboy boots, black Cinch jeans, gray Cinch shirt, light-weight navy thermal shirt, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

BestBuy: Roper boots and belt buckle on a guy in my age range.

Supermarket: Guy in a hurry in cowboy boots nearly wiped out when he saw me also booted. ;)

Video: Brown Lucchese

Saturday, December 30, 2006

Saturday: Snow

Horsebutt chocolate and soft bone Olathe cowboy boots (for Ed), brown flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, red/black/tan/white striped Wrangler shirt, neutral light-weight thermal shirt, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Friday, December 29, 2006

Friday: Sunny and Busy

Black Nocona elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, navy Carhartt shirt, white T, black union suit (first of the season), gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Best day of the week off weather-wise, but I was busy. Nice treat, though, at my last attempt at local bargain cold-weather buying: only 2 or 3 inches taller than me but his upper arms were about the size of my thighs (and, unlike mine, muscular), and he was wearing full-quill yellow ostrich boots. I would have liked to asked him about his boots, but he was busy looking for 2XL Hanes briefs.

Got another boot video in the works (will post tomorrow). If you are an LJ friend or we've been in touch by email AND have a YouTube account, let me know.

Thursday, December 28, 2006

Thursday: Partly Sunny, Partly Chilly

Caramel Lucchese cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, blue-green/white check thick weave Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal top, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Took along the brown Lucchese and got some videos of both in the works. Even changed my belt.

Sightings? The line at Wendy's was long and, unfortunately, the guy with tight Carhartts and work boots was behind me. Would have been nice if the crowd was unruly and someone had pushed us together. But, civility prevailed.

Remember guys, if you're aging like me and the cold is a problem, this is the time to stock up on long underwear, union suits, coats, ear muffs, etc.

Wednesday, December 27, 2006

Wednesday: Cloudy until Dusk

Lucchese 2000 brown cowboy boots (I was lazy; also, hoped to video; weather didn't work), flannel-lined Carhartt blue jeans, blue denim Carhartt shirt, light-weight navy thermal T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Shopping day today. Woofy guys in the first Bob's Stores.

Tuesday, December 26, 2006

The Day After: Rain Ended but Clouds Prevailed

Brown Lucchese 2000 cowboy boots, black double-front Carhartt dungarees (a little extra room to accommodate the results of holiday eating), black/tan Carhartt flannel shirt, black Carhartt thermal long-sleeve T, navy boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Also, walked a couple of miles to start to work off some of that holiday eating. Took the "T" to walk in a different part of the metro area, using money on my Charlie Ticket (which I won't need after the end of the month since I'm switching to the new Charlie Card with a LinkPass [which is 50% off through work] for unlimited rides on both bus and subway). I think I'm confused about these changes as Charlie was when they changed the fares on him. All this, just to say I exchanged a few words about the weather with two MBTA/Transit Police. They have great caps, but, alas, neither were wearing them.

Monday, December 25, 2006

Christmas: Gradually Cloudy

Lucchese goat ropers, black Wrangler jeans, black/white/brown shirt with tan collar, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Nice private Christmas with better half. Hope yours was good, too. Still eating, too!

Sunday, December 24, 2006

The Night Before: Sunny, Clear with a Cool Wind

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots, charcoal gray Wrangler jeans, white Wrangler shirt, black T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Final food shopping and just driving around yielded a nice tan work boot sighting.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Saturday, December 23, 2006

Saturday: Rain Decreasing, Down Right Warm

Brown Boulet buckaroo cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, white/blue large check Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black pouch briefs, Dickies socks but not the usual.

My favorite supermarket for sightings did not disappoint: work boot and Carhartt daddies and other woofs with nicely trimmed facial hair. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a small package of frozen green beans (needed for Christmas dinner), so I decided to go to another one in a shopping center that just happens to have a Western store (safe, since it carries few boots in my size); took advantage of the 50% off sale on wallets and belt buckles. When the clerk asked about my boots and I told them what they were, he asked to see and feel the spur ridge. Very nice and properly done, he said. And, the other supermarket yielded a nice cowboy boot sighting as well.

Friday, December 22, 2006

Friday: Somewhat Overcast

Chippewa briar pitstop arroyos, flannel-lined Carhartt blue jeans, chambray Carhartt shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal T, white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Worked a half day, shopped a half day, finished decorating the tree a half day.

Thursday, December 21, 2006

Thursday: Cool but Really Nice

Chippewa logger boots, black Wrangler jeans, thick blue/thin white stripe shirt, black thermal Carhartt T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Nice day for work boot sightings. Some of them seemed to be new -- were Christmas presents opened early? -- oh, that was my dream.

Wednesday, December 20, 2006

Wednesday: Fairly Cool & Fairly Sunny

Rocky police boots, black Carhartt jeans (another pair), blue shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I seem to be back to normal, although there's still holiday stuff to do. I'm just glad at least one of my siblings isn't offended by late gifts. It's been a relief to be at work and not have to think about the undecorated tree (which is about 3 feet from me now). It'll at least get lights before Christmas.

Tuesday, December 19, 2006

Tuesday? Colder than Expected

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, dark navy fine check shirt, navy light-weight thermal T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Monday, December 18, 2006

Monday: And, Sunday

Yesterday was a first in almost two years of daily posts: I didn't post. The pre-Christmas stuff/rush/shit is just taking over. Yesterday: tan Justin cowboy boots and really tight black Wrangler jeans. The most enjoyable thing (apart from the jeans) was watching Brad Paisley and Keith Urban DVD music videos while making bread (music was not heard when I had the KitchenAid whirling, who cares, nice views) for Christmas (yes, we're all that historically) presents for my staff. Cowboy boots at the supermarket.

Today: Timberland PRO black work boots, black pleated pants, dark navy fine check pants, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks. Also: Smooth leather cowboy boots (goat-like), could see the tops underneath his pants as he walked along.

[info]bullneck has it right.

Saturday, December 16, 2006

Saturday: Moderate and Sunny

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, red/black/tan/white striped Wrangler shirt, light-weight white thermal T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Thursday: Sunny and Mild

Carolina loggers, blue navy Dockers, thin navy stripe shirt, navy henley long-sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Good day for smiles and "hi's" -- and it's not even a Friday before a long weekend.

Another one from my collection:

Monday, December 11, 2006

Monday: Slightly Warm, Unexpected Rain

Black Timberland PRO boots, navy medium check shirt, navy long-sleeve Carhartt T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

From my collection:

Sunday, December 10, 2006

Sunday: Warmer, Is This December (I'm Not Complaining)

Black Nocona elephant and deerhide cowboy boots (I think I'm environmentally and politically incorrect, but then again the environmental movement was started and now being embraced by folks in hunting gear), Wrangler blue jeans, French blue with white & tan stripes western shirt, blue thermal shirt, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

While shopping, good day for facial hair sightings, work boot sightings less than I get at work, but not bad.

Saturday, December 09, 2006

Somewhat Warmer Saturday

Chippewa briar pitstop arroyos, flannel-lined brown Carhartt jeans, black/brown/cream plaid Carhartt shirt, black long-sleeve thermal Carhartt T, black pouch boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I knew he was a boot guy when walked in the restaurant at lunch -- couldn't see them until I left -- engineers.

Friday, December 08, 2006

Fairly Frigid Friday

Yeah, cold.

Carolina loggers (insulated), black Carhartt jeans, blue-green/white check thick weave Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal top & bottom, also grey pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Long underwear showing through a man's ripped jeans. Priceless.

Thursday, December 07, 2006

Thursday: Kinda Nice Weather-Wise

Bates military boots, black Bass plain front jeans, medium blue stripe/thin white stripe shirt, long sleeve white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I was in meetings almost all day (one was enjoyable, the others tolerable), but I did manage at lunch to get a pretty good view of some cowboy boots I'd heard but not really seen or reported on before.

Wednesday, December 06, 2006

Wednesday: A Bit Mixed

Black Timberland PRO work boots (one became untied at the end of the day), black pleated pants, fine blue check on blue shirt, navy Carhartt long sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Back at work and able to see the local construction guys get off work. Lucky me.

Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Tuesday: Cloudy, Cold, Then Clearing

The context of this entry is that I'm finally feeling better after getting hit with a cold last night. I stayed at home and wasn't sure I was going to get out.

Late in the morning I heard a noise in front of my door. I looked out and knew exactly what it was -- the best cure for the common cold -- something I ordered months ago -- something that would force me to go out for a walk ....

So, horsebutt chocolate and soft bone Olathe cowboy boots (that's what the invoice says), brown Wrangler jeans, navy Carhartt shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal shirt, gray pouch briefs, clean white Champion socks found in a hotel room drawer during my recent vacation (yep, I'm perverted).

I also lucked out by getting off the bus near a construction site when the workers were leaving for the day: a flood of work boots, Carhartt jeans, dungarees, jackets ....

Olathe video forthcoming. Shot in this setting.


Monday, December 04, 2006

Monday: 7-10am Snow, Then Sunny and Cold

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, thin navy stripe shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday, December 03, 2006

Sunday: Carhartt Coat Still in Use

Black Justin cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, thick blue stripe/thin white stripe shirt, gray longsleeve construction company T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Given that we spent 5 out of the last 24 hours here, surrounded by statues of naked Greek men, us seated, musically in heaven (aka 2nd balcony), boot sightings were limited to the Internet. Pepe Romaro rocked last night, and the trumpet sounded (as it has for 23 out of our almost 24 years together) this afternoon.

Saturday, December 02, 2006

Saturday: I Guess it's not August Anymore

Caramel Lucchese cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, brown/black/tan flannel Carhartt shirt, lightweight thermal T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Big Carhartt duck Arctic coat tonight! Oh, that's right, I left my gloves in the pocket last spring.

Last night. Absolutely wonderful.

Friday, December 01, 2006

Friday: Cloudy and Warm, But Weather is Changing

Chippewa logger boots, black Carhartt jeans, dark navy fine check shirt, navy henley long sleeve T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

When I turned the corner on the way to my bus stop, I thought I was going to be escorted by a motorcycle police escort, but, alas, he pulled out early. Wait! I'm supposed to be doing that!

Happy Friday to all.

Thursday, November 30, 2006

Thursday: Slightly Sunny

Black Timberland PRO, navy pleated Dockers pants, medium navy and medium white stripe shirt, White T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I'm waiting for UPS to deliver a pair of boots and a pair of leather pants. Time to search for some new boots. Time to stop searching.

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Wednesday: Another Dreary Day

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black plain front Bass pants, light blue fine check shirt, long-sleeve gray Carhartt T, black pouch boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Mid-morning audio, cowboy boots, I stared, he looked back, but I was back inside before it all registered.

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Tuesday: Chilly, Damp, Needed Indian Food

Carolina loggers, navy pleated pants, blue medium stripe with narrow white stripe shirt (got two of these, need to remember how to describe them consistently), white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Lots of sightings of those wonderful lime/yellow mid-weight police coats today. I think I want one. Boot sightings: few (overcast skies and old eyes don't make this easy). The Indian food was great!

Monday, November 27, 2006

Monday, Monday: Good but Still a Monday

Bates military, black Farah pleated pants (sort of looked liked plain fronts -- still working off Thanksgiving food), wide stripe blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday, November 26, 2006

Sunday: Busy Day but Nice Weather

Lucchese goat ropers (wow, unearthed them), black Wrangler jeans, blue shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday, November 25, 2006

Saturday: Beautiful 500+ Mile Journey

Nocona black elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, gray Cinch shirt, white T, navy briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sighting: cowboy boots at lunch.

I think I've had enough of "The Road and the Radio" for a while; it's good to be home.

Friday, November 24, 2006

Friday: Nice Day for a 600 Mile Journey

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, red/black/tan/white striped Wrangler shirt, maroon PBR long-sleeve T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Thursday, November 23, 2006

U.S. Thanksgiving: Beautiful

Chippewa briar Arroyos, black Carhartt jeans, black/blue check Cinch shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I am thankful.

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Wednesday: Clear

Brown Boulet buckaroo cowboy boots, Carhartt blue jeans, brown/white check with tan collar shirt, black T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Cowboy boots at lunch and dinner.

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Tuesday: Clear and Slightly Chilly

Chippewa engineer boots, black Wrangler jeans, chambray Carhartt shirt, gray T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Nice cowboy and combat boot sightings at the airport.

Monday, November 20, 2006

Monday: Chilly Fall Day

Black Sendra cowboy boots [warning: this is longer than usual], tight Wrangler blue jeans, black/purple/white check Carhartt shirt, black T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

In addition to the historical visit in the video, I spent some time in two western wear/boot stores and an Army/Navy surplus store -- sightings, yes, but I feel like I'm cheating.

This is the last video for a while since family stuff will be taking more of my time. [Sighs of relief from several readers].

Sunday, November 19, 2006

Sunday: Somewhat Overcast in the AM, Clearer in the PM, Jacket Appreciated

Black Nocona bullhide cowboy boots, tight black Cinch jeans, French blue with white & tan stripes western shirt, gray T & briefs, usual Dickies socks. Oh yea, nice big belt buckle, too.

The route I took today through the lower Blue Ridge Mountains is always good for cowboy boot sightings, and today was not a disappointment. At lunch, there were three; at WalMart, two; getting gas, two (one with a cowboy hat) plus a biker harness boot. And, most men there seem to know that jeans are supposed to show, not hide, things.

Saturday, November 18, 2006

Saturday: Cooler but Nice

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots, tight Wrangler jeans, blue/white large check Carhartt shirt, black T, old white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Boot sightings good: two cowboy boot sightings and a pair of well-worn tan Wellingtons worn over jeans. Men sightings were good too, including the short, stocky, cowboy-booted dad with a Wrigley Field sweatshirt and the muscular Wellington guy.

Friday, November 17, 2006

Friday: Cool but Beautiful

Tan Justin cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, wide blue denim striped western shirt (a previously-owned one), black T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Yea, another video link.

Since most of the day was spent in the car, I didn't have many sightings. I did, however, notice that more construction guys were wearing logger-type work boots (that once were probably black or dark brown).

Thursday, November 16, 2006

Thursday: Rain, Gloom, Torrents, Then Sprinkles

Durango triple-dyed cowboy work boots, black Wrangler jeans, red & cream Native American print western shirt, black T & boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I had fairly good sighting of Mass., NY, and NJ state policemen today before the torrents began. Driving in torrents isn't fun. And, I wasn't thinking of hip waders or rainsuits today. But it did cross my mind that if I had to get out of the car, scuba gear might have been nice.

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Wednesday (My Friday This Week): Cloudy but Warm

Brown Carolina loggers, navy pleated pants, fine navy check on blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Monday, November 13, 2006

Monday: A Foggy Day in ... (& Rainy, Too)

Bates military (what am I going to do when these wear out), black plain front pants, wide medium blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Yes!

Sunday, November 12, 2006

Rainy Sunday - A Lot Cooler

Durango triple-dyed work boot, Dickies duck dungarees, navy Carhartt work shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday, November 11, 2006

Saturday: Perfect Fall Day (Warm - It's Nov. ???)

Brown Boulet Buckaroo boots bargain-bought in June, tight black Wrangler jeans, black T & pouch briefs, Dickies socks (not the usual steel-toed).

Worn work boot sightings: good. Men sightings: good (including one who was very affectionate with his wife or girlfriend. Diner: fun. Drive: I love New England. Not much else.

Friday, November 10, 2006

Friday: Warm & Clear

Chippewa briar pitstop Arroyos, tight Wrangler blue jeans, chambray Carhartt shirt, gray T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.


Cop looked at my boots and smiled; I smiled back.


Thursday, November 09, 2006

Clearing and Warming Thursday (Or Was it the First of Two Fridays)

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans (loose ones that kept falling down -- but at least I wasn't revealing myself as much as the guy with the asphalt crew I saw at lunch), dark navy thin check shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I promise this will be my last political post for a while (but if you email me, I'll be happy to elaborate), but what happened today in the Mass. Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) was important:
"The 109-87 vote to recess could deal a crushing blow to opponents of same-sex marriage looking to override the landmark court decision three years ago that put Massachusetts on the vanguard of gay rights."
And, requiem aeternam and WOOF, Ed Bradley.

Wednesday, November 08, 2006

Wednesday: Rain, Rain, Rain

Bates military boots, black Bass plain front pants with short pockets, red and blue fine check on blue shirt, white T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

In spite of the rain, oh what a wonderful day!

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Election Day: Warmer, Not So Bright

Black Timberland PRO work boots, pleated navy Dockers pants, thin dark navy stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Things I love about living where I do:
  • Having a Buddhist monk ahead of me voting
  • Having both Democrat and Republican candidates for state representative both supporting gay marriage
  • This time, not having to even consider Republicans on the ballot (I'm a registered Democrat, but I'm a thinking one)
  • No matter who becomes our Governor, it won't be Romney (former bishop, current Massachusetts basher)
I think this may be my first political post!

Oh, and saw several pairs of very tight jeans today.

Monday, November 06, 2006

Monday: Also Chilly and Clear, A Four Day Week in Reverse

Carolina loggers, pleated navy Dockers pants, dark navy fine check shirt, medium weight neutral thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

At least I made it outside for the end of the 2:30-3:00 parade of construction guys leaving work.

Sunday, November 05, 2006

Sunday: Chilly and Clear

Nocona black elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, blue/white large check Carhartt shirt, gray construction company logo long-sleeve T, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Reflected today on why something like that long-sleeve T, worn by another man, is important to me.

Full moon rose big and pink tonight; unfortunately, I think it's the "beaver" moon.

Saturday, November 04, 2006

Saturday: Chilly, Cloudier Than Expected

Brown Lucchese 2000 cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, black/tan Carhartt flannel shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal long-sleeve T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Some nice mutual admiration with a hot shaved head daddy several times in Wal-Mart (even exchanged words about the weather in the parking lot).

First sightings for the season:
  • Guy in a Santa suit
  • Guy in insulated coveralls
  • Could it have been snow?

Friday, November 03, 2006

Friday: Crisp and Clear

Chippewa loggers, black pleated front Dockers, fine blue check on light blue shirt, medium weight navy thermal shirt, black boxer briefs usual Dickies socks.

It was a nice day for Friday smiles.

Thursday, November 02, 2006

hursday: Rainy, Then Clear and Chilly (Moon's Getting Bigger)

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, new black pleated pants, medium navy stripe shirt, lightweight navy thermal T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

On the way home on the bus, a gender-unspecified with really tight jeans took a seat next to me. I suppose this person only sat by me because it was the only empty seat near the front of the bus (and, next to an old man who wasn't fat, smelly, or had a cane). People who confuse sexual orientation with gender identification amuse (and sometimes irritate) me (they are very different). Within a minute or so the gaydar was going crazy -- not just mine (which uses chromosomes, sexual organs, and distribution of body hair as criteria for maleness), but also his.

Wednesday, November 01, 2006

Fair Wednesday

Bates military boots, black plain front pants, wide blue stripe shirt, navy long-sleeve Carhartt T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006

Fair Halloween

Rocky police boots, navy plain front pants, thin navy stripe shirt, gray long-sleeve Carhartt T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Monday, October 30, 2006

Monday: I Hate Monday's; However, The Weather Was Nice

Black Timberland PRO work boots, new navy Lee pleated pants, another dark blue stripe shirt, black boxer briefs, white T, usual boxer briefs.

Given my allergies to decaying fall leaves (don't get me wrong, I love New England, but the decaying leaves suck), I have trouble having sightings outside. Then again, the HVAC guys were back again in my office, up on a ladder, head above the ceiling tile, and I was looking above the work boots (started with that, of course) nearer the belt.

Sunday, October 29, 2006

Windy Sunday

New Chippewa work Wellington Arroyos ["where durability is standard and comfort is expected" YES] (no picture yet) that came a week ago, black Carhartt jeans, new dark blue stripe shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday, October 28, 2006

Saturday: Could Have Used an Ark

Triple-dyed Durango cowboy boots, black double-front Carhartt dungarees, purple/black plaid Carhartt shirt, black T, white briefs, usual Dickies socks. Double-front dungarees got doubly soaked in the rain.

Changed into dry black Carhartt jeans, blue/black/tan plaid Carhartt shirt, black boxer briefs (boots, T, & socks were the same) for a "we're-getting-old party" (more fun than you might think).

Friday, October 27, 2006

It's Friday: Thank Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Zoroaster (Zarathushtra)!

Carolina loggers, dark blue Carhartt jeans, blue shirt I wore to the wake last night, navy thermal T, old FTL briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Thursday, October 26, 2006

Thursday: Chilly

Rocky police boots, navy pleated Dockers, wide blue stripe shirt, thermal long-sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Changed into blue shirt and tie (I hate wearing ties [unless they're clip-ons] since I only wear them for wakes and funerals). The crowd at the wake did yield one cowboy boot sighting.

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Wednesday: Very Cool, but Beautiful

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black plain front Farah pants, fine blue check shirt, white Carharrt thermal long-sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

Tuesday: Cool but Sunny

Black Timberland PRO work boots (for M), black plain front Wrangler khakis, navy medium check shirt, black Carhartt thermal long-sleeve T (had to go huntin' for that one), black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

My Olathe's are back-ordered, but at least they are in my size.

Because of a bridge construction detour, there's been a police patrol on my way into work since last week. Unfortunately, the motorcops, who were there for the few days, have been replaced by regular cops. Oh, well, less to look at and more time to contemplate (sleep) on the bus.

And, sometimes a smile from a guy in cowboy boots is all you need to make one's day.

Monday, October 23, 2006

Monday: Cool, Some Rain, Some Sun

Bates military boots, navy pleated Bass pants, navy fine check shirt, navy thermal long-sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Actually saw, however briefly, cowboy boots heard on Friday.

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Sunday: Nice, Overcast, Rain to Come

Faithful triple-dyed Durango farm and ranch boots, charcoal Wrangler jeans, dark gray Cinch shirt, light gray long-sleeve Carhartt T (first of the season), white briefs, usual Dickies socks. That’s at least how it ended up. Started out with tan Justin boots. My queer eye was really off, and I hope no one noticed. At least I remembered to also change belts when I changed boots.

It’s nice to be in a theater at a play with better half on one side and no one on the other side. Ah, leg room!

Saturday, October 21, 2006

Saturday: Very Cool & Clear

Black Justin cowboy boots, tight black Wrangler jeans, red/white/blue/black check western shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Changed into white dress shirt so as to look respectable for hearing Brahms (beard and belly Brahms, bachelor bear Brahms, and, yes, I didn't sing along to Piano Concerto 2, even though in the shower I could) and Schumann.

Friday, October 20, 2006

Friday: Gloomy, Then Rainy

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Wrangler jeans, tan/red/black/blue plaid Carhartt shirt, white T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

The gloomy weather prevented a good view of what sounded like an interesting pair of boots. Had to be home early to be serviced by the cable guy. He arrived at the same time as the UPS man, whose delivery I can't wait to show off. This weekend better be better than the last one.

Thursday, October 19, 2006

Thursday: Cloudy Start, Sunny End

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans, medium navy stripe shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

Hump Day: Variable Weather

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black 501 Levi's jeans (for so many years, bleached 501s were my favorites, lowest button left undone in the bars, red/black flannel shirt, wide belt, engineer or harness boots, jockstrap and harness underneath), fine blue check on light blue shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Reason for the work boots getting this kind of feature is that someone I know (definitely straight) recognized them as Chippewa's.

Reminder to self: LAPD blue/black police shirt needs to be ordered.

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Tuesday: Cloudy & Cool, Rain in the PM

Bates military boots, black Carhartt jeans, thin navy stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Yet another five days compressed into four.

Monday, October 16, 2006

Monday: Cool and Sunny

Brown Boulet buckaroo cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, two-pocket chambray Carhartt shirt, black T, white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

A day of rest and some time in the sun seems to have helped.

Sunday, October 15, 2006

Sunday: Cool, Some Clouds

Nocona black elephant and deerhide uppers cowboy boots, charcoal Wrangler jeans, navy Carhartt two pocket shirt, black T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday, October 14, 2006

Saturday: Sunny, Cool



Nocona black elephant and deerhide uppers cowboy boots (will wear them again tomorrow), black Wrangler jeans, [white shirt (picked out, not worn)], white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

What started as leaf allergies turned out to be something else. Getting better! And, I finally opened the package which was supposed to arrive in March, arrived in June, and got sort of buried. Oh, yea!

Friday: Decaying Leaf Mold

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black pleated Dockers pants, thin navy stripe shirt, white T, gray/blue boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Because of road construction, there were several motorcycle cops directing traffic in the morning from my bus stop and on for several blocks. I'm not sure they helped the traffic flow, but it was nice to see them trying.

Thursday: Variable Weather

Bates military boots, black plain front pants, medium blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies steel toe socks.

I have spent a lot of my life wondering which world I "fit" into: glbt/glbtisa or the whole. I fit into both, and to all the wonderful folks who helped me figure this out, thank you.

Wednesday: Partly Gloomy

Rocky police boots, navy pleated pants, navy fine check on blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Both cops today, short but big, well-worn paratrooper boots but well-tailored uniforms. #1, behind me at the deli, ordered two large chili's ....

Tuesday, October 10, 2006

Tuesday: Cool, Clear, Then Cloudy

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, navy pleated Dockers pants, wide blue stripe shirt, white T, blue/gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

The thing about a four-day work week is that it's really five days compressed into four.

Monday, October 09, 2006

Monday: Warmer, Nice Fall Day

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, black/blue check on white Cinch shirt, black T, gray Cowboy Up briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday, October 08, 2006

Beautiful Fall Day "On Golden Pond"

Caramel Lucchese cowboy boots (butter), Wrangler blue jeans, French blue with white & tan stripes that someone with a middle-age gut shouldn't wear western shirt, black T, navy briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Another not-so-spectacular fall in New England (global warming?), but the weather was wonderful. No, we only drove by Squam Lake but did do our semi-annual stop at Lake Winnipesaukee.

Saturday, October 07, 2006

Saturday: Cool, Relxing, 12-Tone Harmony

Black bullhide Nocona cowboy boots, dark black Carhartt jeans, blue/white check Carhartt shirt, navy Carhartt T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Changed into dark navy fine check on medium blue shirt for the concert.

Just the usual sightings of various work and biker boots (come on men, I need more leather), and in the parking garage on the way home, a nice pair of cowboy boots with a nice point.

Friday, October 06, 2006

Friday: Cool, Man! Nice! And, TGIF!

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans (and, they were good today; nice feel on my thighs; I kept looking down to make sure they were zipped, they felt so good; yes, a good jean's day), purple/blue/black Carhartt shirt, white T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies steeltoe socks.

So wiped am I.

Thursday, October 05, 2006

Thursday: Very Nice, Even If it was an Early Day

Bates military boots, black Wrangler khakis, navy medium check shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies steeltoe socks.

Cowboy boots in the parking lot at work, apparently doing the boot meditation thing.

Looking forward to a real casual Friday and a three day weekend. I'm working too hard.

Wednesday, October 04, 2006

Hump Day: Nice Again

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black plain front Farah pants, fine dark blue check on light blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I was contemplating (really, I was half asleep) at the bus stop this morning. He passed me, and I looked back. Yes, the guy I've seen before wearing cowboy boots and casual business drag, was today wearing a tie and cowboy ropers.

Tuesday, October 03, 2006

Tuesday: Not Bad at All

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Bass plain front pants, medium stripe navy shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual socks.

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Sunday: Rain, Rain, Rain

Brown Lucchese 2000 cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, tan Wrangler shirt, black T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Lots of wet sneakers today, but one very rare (around here) sighting of tan ostrich cowboy boots in the mall.

I don't need another pair of cowboy boots. I don't need another pair of cowboy boots. I don't need another pair of cowboy boots. I don't need another pair of cowboy boots.

Saturday, September 30, 2006

Saturday: Generally Cool & Nice

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, maroon/black/tan Dockers shirt, gray T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Changed into white shirt & T for the play.

Friday, September 29, 2006

Weird Weather, But It's Friday & I Don't Care

Bates military boots, black plain front Farah pants, fine blue check blue shirt, white T, navy boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks. Dressing like an adult on casual Friday I can deal with -- especially when I get to have a casual Monday. No meetings!

Thursday, September 28, 2006

Thursday: Beautiful - But I was Inside All Day

Black Timberland PRO boots, black pleated Dockers, pants, medium navy stripe shirt, white T, navy boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Chippewa logger boots, black Levi's 501 jeans, blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

Tuesday: Nice and Nice Living in the Past

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans, thick blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Today I was combing through late 19th century men's facial hair, or rather late 19th century photos of men, mostly with facial hair. I have lots on my other laptop, but this one will have to do now as an example.

Monday, September 25, 2006

Monday: Kinda Nice

Bates military boots, navy pleated Dockers pants, navy medium check shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

After yesterday's sighting, I think I need to shut up for a while.

Sunday, September 24, 2006

Sunday: Bad Weather Prediction (Actually, A Nice Day)

Chippewa steel toe engineer boots, dark black Carhartt jeans, navy medium stripe shirt, gray T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. The reason for the steel toe boots was that I had expected to have my feet stepped upon because of where our seats were located today; for various reasons, they weren't necessary.

Oh, and, silver-haired and mustached cop, I do hope you're a bottom and like shorter guys.

Oh, Clockner, stop thinking that.

Saturday, September 23, 2006

Saturday: Bad Weekend for Weather

Black Justin cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, tan/red/black/blue plaid Carhartt shirt, black T & briefs, usual Dickies socks. It was a good basket day -- was it because the jeans were a little looser, the briefs not the usual, or my gut in need of tightening?

In spite of the weather, it was a good boots-on-good-looking-mature-men day. A beautifully polished pair of harness boots and a wonderfully scruffed pair. Two guys in cowboy boots (including one who did a double-take on mine). Several Engineer boots. Work boots--lots.

Friday, September 22, 2006

Friday: A Great Day

Timberland PRO work boots, black Carhartt jeans, blue fine check light blue shirt, white T & briefs, usual Dickies (steel toe) socks.

Great day! Talk with one of my favorite co-worker carrying a DeWalt power drill , a big mutual wave to a favorite cop, some great smiles and "Hi's" -- Friday!

Thursday, September 21, 2006

Thursday: Cooler and Quite Nice

Chippewa logger boots, black Carhartt jeans, fine blue check blue shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday, September 20, 2006

Wednesday: Absolutely Gorgeous Weather

Carolina loggers, black plain front Bass pants with short pockets, the red/blue fine check on blue shirt that I can never get the description right, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. There's something about wearing those scruffed up boots with the always perfectly looking black pants that's just so wired; I love it.

Today I waited far too long at the bus stop. I did enjoy the weather, and it was a much needed contemplation time. A house painter with Sherwin-Williams brand painter pants (I want a pair) came up the sidewalk from a fenced-in yard just down the street to get some coffee at the convenience store at the corner. Then he walked back coffee cup in hand. About 10 minutes later he opened the gate with no coffee cup in hand and looked up the sidewalk in my direction; he stared. That lasted for about eight minutes, and then he went back into the yard. Just a really odd sighting. And, it didn't involve a "hi" or even eye contact. Sorry for such a long post. And, sorry for this post's title, but it was a very wonderful weather day.

Tuesday, September 19, 2006

Tuesday: Warmer Still

Rocky police boots, black Carhartt jeans (kept falling down today for some reason), dark navy small check shirt, white T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

On my way from the bus stop into work, I ran into a guy my age who works near me. We've never introduced ourselves, never even really talked, but we always say "hi" or smile at each other. It was a hearty "hi" this time. The fact that he works facilities and I, well, let's just say I sometimes have to look professional, doesn't matter. He wears a wedding ring; I don't, but we're both married. There's something about being this age I really like.

Monday, September 18, 2006

Monday: Warmer Than It's Been

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Dockers pleated pants, wide blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday, September 17, 2006

Sunday: Beautiful, Fall is Coming

Brown Boulet cowboy boots, GuideGear tan dungarees, navy Carhartt shirt, navy Carhartt T, white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Driving through the countryside yielded lots of biker sightings (including the first sighting this fall of a guy in biker chaps) but unfortunately most biker boot sightings were fleeting. Yet there were a lot of work boot sightings while shopping. And, the weather was very nice.

Saturday, September 16, 2006

Saturday: Kind of Beautiful

Tan Justin cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, wide blue plaid Carhartt shirt, black T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. I looked somewhat trashy today -- not slutty -- probably because of the blue head rag.

Boot sightings: I feel like I cheated since they were in a Western wear store where I bought a replacement for a lost belt (which I will probably find tomorrow).

Friday, September 15, 2006

Friday: All Sorts of Weather, But No Rain

Rocky police boots, navy Dockers pleated pants, wide blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

A good day (among other things was introduced to someone with a complimentary statement about both my age and sexuality), but what a week! Longing for the cowboy boots....

Thursday, September 14, 2006

Thursday: Gray Skies, Then Rain

Bates military boots, plain from Farah pants, navy medium stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

On the way to work: A closed road for construction (in Mass. that means police on either end) allowed some nice sightings of construction guys doing manly things (including one that provided a nice rear view while pulling up his jeans) and a very woofy tow guy doing his thing. These views were only allowed to those walking or riding bicycles. I was one of the former.

Then, on morning break, walking through a parking lot and finding a pinch pin clutch. Given the location, most likely a cop's. The smallest things delight me. Besides, I'm missing one of mine.

Wednesday, September 13, 2006

Wednesday: Yet Another Nice Day

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, blue/red small check on light blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Monday, September 11, 2006

Monday: Quite Cool, Fairly Sunny

Black Timberland PRO work boots, navy Dockers pants, thin navy stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Too unawake on the bus to wonder what the young stud walking on the street was listening to on his iPod (is there a gay version?) that caused him to keep adjusting his crotch. Too hungry to really appreciate the two local cops in great shape and in crisp, tight uniforms paying for their Chinese food when I really wanted to order mine.

Sunday, September 10, 2006

Sunday: Turned Out Very Nice

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, blue/white plaid Carhartt shirt, navy Carhartt T. gray Cowboy Up briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Addendum: two pairs of riding boots with English spurs in the play (go here, click on Ladew's History, go to the last picture, look, and then read the names in his guest book).

Saturday, September 09, 2006

Saturday: Nice

Black Justin cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, maroon/black/tan Dockers shirt, black T, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Favorite supermarket didn't fail in work boot sightings, and there was a bonus military boot sighting.

Friday: Good Weather, Long Day, Double Post

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans, purple/black plaid Carhartt shirt, white T, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Around 6PM, changed into: Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Levi 501's (remembered Aug. 23, 2006, reminder to self about key holder and hanky), tan shirt, gray pouch briefs, same socks (the one part of my body that rarely gives me trouble in social situations).

Thursday, September 07, 2006

Early Thursday: At Least the Weather was Nice

Bates military boots, navy pleated Dockers, medium stripe navy shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies steel toe socks.

No post-worthy sightings, but the same/old-same/old sightings aren't bad either.

Wednesday, September 06, 2006

Wednesday: Cloudy but Nice

Rocky police boots, navy pleated Farah pants, wide blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I'd like to retire these pups, but they don't seem to wear out. Thought they'd really deserved a better photo.


Tuesday, September 05, 2006

Tuesday: Kind of Cloudy

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Carhartt jeans, fine check navy shirt, white T, navy boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Before I went to bed last night, I packed away all of my white shoes, pants, and gloves.

Monday, September 04, 2006

Labor Day: Very Nice

Brown Lucchese 2000 cowboy boots, Cinch blue jeans, red/white/blue/black check western shirt, gray T, red knit boxers, usual Dickies socks.

Lunch at a favorite diner allowed one cowboy boot sighting (and a nice brief acknowledgement of seeing mine) and several harness and engineer boot sightings. Oh, and good food, too. Oh, yes, and the manager looks like Ray Harley.

Stumbling into a small town Labor Day parade allowed sightings of local police (in Class A and B uniforms), some sheriffs, and a fireman playing with his hose (unfortunately, he wasn't wearing fire gear below his waist.



Sunday, September 03, 2006

Friday, September 01, 2006

Thursday: Nice (But Will This Week Ever End?)

Bates military boots, black plain front Farah pants, light blue fine check shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I thought I wouldn't have had any sightings to mention. On the way home, however, I saw a local cop in really high, well worn but very well shined boots. Must be a boot man.

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Wednesday: Nice Day

Tuesday, August 29, 2006

Tuesday: Gloom and Doom Again

Black Timberland PRO work boots, navy pleated Dockers pants, navy large stripe shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

The day's sightings started out great (two cops with different kinds of rainwear, eight construction guys in yellow overboots standing around each other), but the rain later kept the cops in their cars and the construction guys with holes in their jeans out of the rain.

Monday, August 28, 2006

Monday: Gloom and Doom

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans, thin navy stripe shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Good day, however, for sightings:
  • Construction guy with so many holes in his jeans, I could tell hewas wearing black boxer briefs.
  • Cop below my window and then for a half hour wearing what appeared to be Heat Gear® white sleeveless T (off duty temporarily?).
  • Good looking landscaper in a stopped truck who was really checking me (or maybe it was the bad landscaping behind me) out.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Wednesday: Quite Nice

Rocky police boots, black Levi's 501 jeans [Note to self: Remember when you wear these again, the medium blue hanky in your back left pocket does not provide sufficient cushioning for you keys.

When I got on the bus, I saw a guy who looked familiar. Nothing in his face or chest (he was seated in a far seat) looked familiar. When he got up and I saw he had calf-high military boots under his dress pants, I remembered why I recognized him. I can't find an entry; it may be pre-blog.

Three policemen: one in a car I talked to, a motorcycle cop with well-fitting breeches who smiled at me, and another motorcycle cop with ill-fitting breeches who did the cop-scowl thing when I passed. Odd that I actually looked above the boots. And, why didn't this happen to me when I was younger?

And, I need to break with the normal tone of this blog, by writing: LHL: In paradisum deducant angeli. I think this link from the New Yorker about someone who I've heard live (and, sadly, will not any more) will work.

Monday: Hot, Sun, Rain Storms

Dayton logger work boots, Carhartt denim overall, orange Carhartt T, old white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I've had the Dayton work boots for several years; they sit in the basement ready for small times of garden work and other manual tasks. I've never worn them for more than a couple hours at a time. While I was packing, they asked if they could go on vacation, too, and I agreed. Today was a long driving day, and, since I looked kind of scruffy (like the kind of guy who usually gets a look from me), they fit my outfit better than any thing else I took on vacation. And, they did their job quite well. They had a previous owner. I often wonder what he was wearing with them.

Finally, a decent picture of my tiny black Timberland PRO work boots. My first pair of insulated, water-proof work boots was a tan New England-made Timberland (I think fall 1977). Not quite the same quality now that they are made in China. Still, not bad. No trouble breaking them in. I can wear them in summer. Comfortable. I see tan ones all the time. The nice thing about the black ones is that I can wear them when I need to dress like an adult. Posted by Picasa

Friday!!

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, purple/white/black check Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, black work socks.

Friday is just about the only day of the week strangers seem friendlier ("hey").

Saw a blogger I read but don't know. Heard news about two bloggers I read and do know.

Wearing the same boots as Monday. Maybe it's the boots not the cold that makes me chatty.

Monday: Cold (also have one)

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, black/blue/white plaid flannel shirt (ok, so I know plaid is not fashionable now, but I'm old and like it), black thermal Carhartt tops and bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

A minor traffic accident near the bus stop brought a fire truck, 2 ambulances, and 2 police cruisers. Hoped to see more, but the fire truck blocked my view and the sun was at the worst angle anywhere I could go and still keep my eye out for the bus. If the driver of the fire truck was a good example of what I missed, I missed a lot.

I'm awfully chatty for someone with a cold.

Sunday

Black Nocona cowboy boots, unbleached Carhartt jeans, black/white plaid lined shirt, Carhartt thermal T, lightweight thermal bottoms, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Another boot wearer slowed down after he had passed me, probably not expecting to see someone in boots -- it takes a second or so to register. Been there, done that myself.
