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.

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

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, October 13, 2006

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, October 12, 2006

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, October 11, 2006

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.

Monday, October 02, 2006

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, 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

Wednesday: Absolutely Beautiful

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: 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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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).

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: 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: 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.

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.

Saturday: Cloudy and Cool
