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: 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.

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: 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).

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Cloudy Start, Sunny End

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

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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.

Monday: Clouds in the AM, Clear in the PM

Casual Monday (see Sept. 29): Chippewa logger boots, Carhartt dark blue jeans, thin dark blue (matched the jeans!) stripe shirt, white T & old white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

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.
