Sunday: Clear, Almost Warm
BestBuy: Roper boots and belt buckle on a guy in my age range.

Video: Brown Lucchese

Friday: Sunny and Busy
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: Partly Sunny, Partly Chilly
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.

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

The Day After: Rain Ended but Clouds Prevailed
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.

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

The Night Before: Sunny, Clear with a Cool Wind
Final food shopping and just driving around yielded a nice tan work boot sighting.
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Saturday: Rain Decreasing, Down Right Warm
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: Somewhat Overcast
Worked a half day, shopped a half day, finished decorating the tree a half day.

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

Wednesday: Fairly Cool & Fairly Sunny
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.

Sunday: Warmer, Is This December (I'm Not Complaining)
While shopping, good day for facial hair sightings, work boot sightings less than I get at work, but not bad.

Somewhat Warmer Saturday
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
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: Kinda Nice Weather-Wise
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: A Bit Mixed
Back at work and able to see the local construction guys get off work. Lucky me.

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.

Sunday: Carhartt Coat Still in Use
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: I Guess it's not August Anymore
Big Carhartt duck Arctic coat tonight! Oh, that's right, I left my gloves in the pocket last spring.
Last night. Absolutely wonderful.

Friday: Cloudy and Warm, But Weather is Changing
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.
