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.

Happiness is starting your sightseeing at a western store and discovering they're having a tent sale. Great happiness is discovering there's a great pair of boots almost half off that fits!

Friday: Some Clouds, Lots of Sun

Tan Justin cowboy boots, bleached Wrangler jeans, chambray Carhartt shirt, white T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Nice slow, unfortunately not close, view of another officer of another state's police, this one on a motorcycle -- nice tall boots!

Nice slow and close look at seven officers of the New York State Police. And, no, I didn't get a ticket. In fact, I wasn't even stopped.

Got my hairs cut.

Wet(d)nesday: Rain Coat, Needed Hip Waders

Bates military boots, black Bass pleated pants with short pockets, navy medium check shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Very wet, but nine people made my day. Eight at work, and I got the evening bus driver to smile.

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.

Monday: Cloudy, Some Sun

At lunch we were seated in the Rodeo Dr. section of the restaurant (not the Elvis Presley Blvd. section) under the cowboy boot and hat, picture of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, some longhorns, and, yes, a pair of batwing chaps. Inspired, I ordered the Cowboy Burger. You know what they say, "Save a horse, eat a cowboy."

Fried-day: Cooler, Still Humid

Red Wing steel toe waterproof logger boots (was about to put them away for the summer), stonewashed Carhartt jeans, chambray Carhartt 2-pocket shirt, white T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Put a hard hat on me and teach me how to sing, and maybe I can join the Village People.
