Saturday: Getting Warmer

Black Nocona elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler blue, tan/black/white check flannel shirt, black T, black briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Friday: Still Kinda Cold but Winds Abating

Previously owned Western Chief fire stormers, Carhartt blue jeans, navy Carhartt work shirt, neutral thermal Carhartt long-sleeve T, black briefs, usual Dickies socks. All pretty much hidden under Carhartt Arctic quilted coveralls.

Off from work. Went to the mall. Didn't buy anything except lunch, but did enjoy the construction workers all over the place.

The biggest woof, however, goes to the cub (with tan work boots) I shared a bus and subway ride with.

Thursday: Sunny but the Winds Got Nasty

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, navy plain front cords, thick stripe blue shirt, black thermal Carhartt longsleeve T, neutral Carhartt thermal bottoms, usual Dickies socks. So glad I wore the Carhartt thermal overpants and had two pairs of gloves with me.

More Than a Hump Day: Still Cold but not Deadly

Timberland PRO work boots, another pair of black Wrangler jeans, southwest inspired LL Bean flannel shirt, black polypropylene top & bottoms, another pair of white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. The Carhartt flannel-lined overpants in the morning again meant the bus was on time.

I got a cowboy boot sighting today.

Tuesday: Wind Chill Deadly

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, blue-green/white check thick weave Carhartt shirt, funny green polypropylene top & bottoms, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks, Carhartt Arctic flannel-lined over pants. Carhartt brown colored zip sweat shirt. Bark extreme Arctic Carhartt jacket. On the way home, thin police gloves under (under ... I like the way that sounds) furry leather police gloves. Oh yea, Carhartt metal roller belt.

In spite of the weather, the day was extremely warm. Started out with talk on the news about long underwear and later talk at work about ski masks (I have one of those somewhere, but I'm more likely to find a spandex, latex, or rubber one if I went looking). Then there was a hot looking daddy-type (probably younger than me, but who's counting the years) in cowboy boots and cowboy hat (straw -- felt, black, would have been my choice) and another pair of cowboy boots at work. Carhartt Arctic flannel-lined coveralls. Not to mention Chris Cagle photos from the Yahoo group "hotcowboys."

And, Word spell-checker at work, unlike yesterday, wasn't turned to Spanish instead of English-U.S. today!

Monday: Pleasant with Small Flurries, Getting Colder

Carolina logger boots, brown cords, brown/tan/yellow flannel shirt, black Carhartt thermal top & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday: Colder Than It Appeared

Chippewa briar pitstop arroyo boots, black Wrangler jeans, thick navy stripe shirt, navy Carhartt shirt, black briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday: Warm!

Lucchese 2000 brown cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, brown/white check Wrangler PBA shirt with tan collar, black long-sleeve Carhartt T, black briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Square toe cowboy boot sighting while leaving the mall. Conventional cowboy boot sighting in the supermarket (guy was good-looking, too!). Several pairs of serious black logger boots on seriously woofy men.

Warm enough for a NH trooper to wear a short sleeve shirt. Well, not that warm, but he thought it was.

Friday: Very Early Snow Turning to Cold Blowing Rain

L.L. Bean boots (complimented on them), navy thick wale cords, thick blue stripe shirt, black thermal Carhartt tops & bottoms, grey pouch briefs, previously worn socks (need to wash socks tomorrow).

Really lousy weather, although we didn't have to shovel today. Wet pants. Rubber rain gear. Busy for a Friday, but I am observant.

Early Thursday: Just Like Yesterday -- Nice!

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black plain front cords, navy medium check shirt, navy light weight thermal top & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks (new ones!).

Nice sightings of construction workers leaving their jobs this afternoon. Nice jeans, too!

Tuesday: Melting, Sunny then Cloudy

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, brown flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, tan/black/white flannel Carharrt shirt, white T, black union suit, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

On the way back from getting lunch saw a guy I usually see in beat-up boots wearing new dark gold/caramel-like cowboy boots.

Monday: More Than a Dusting

LL Bean duck boots, black Carhartt jeans, navy fine check shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, thin black thermal bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday: Kinda Mild, Sun Then Cloudy

Tan cowboy boots sighting on a good-looking guy going into an antiques store.

Saturday: Sunny, Chilly

Friday: Blanket of Real Snow, Sun, Getting Colder

L.L. Bean boots, black Carhartt jeans, black/white/red plaid flannel shirt, black polypropylene tops & bottoms, white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

The mid-day sun had a lot of us smiling, including the big hunky construction workers I let pass on a narrow sidewalk. The biggest one was in the rear; he said with a smile, thank you, and I returned the greeting.

Thursday: Still Cold but Nice, Forecast Isn't

Carolina loggers, plain front black cords, blue/red fine check on light blue shirt, red union suit, white T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday: Still Melting

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, brown pleated cords, brown with red/yellow/white plaid flannel shirt, black union suit, white T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Most of my boot sightings were much like mine.

Tuesday: Much Warmer

Timberland PRO work boots, navy plain front cords, thick stripe blue shirt, thin navy thermal bottoms, neutral Caarhartt thermal top, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Ice melting. Warm enough that the stereotypically studly UPS guy at my bus stop on the way home wasn't wearing a coat -- just the long sleeve shirt and pants....

Monday: Cold!

Tan Justin cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, muted red/blue/etc. southwestern flannel shirt, neutral Carhartt tops & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday: Fairly Sunny, Slightly Less Cold

Durango farm & ranch tripled-dyed cowboy boots, flannel-lined brown Carhartt jeans, tan/black/white check flannel shirt, black Carhartt thermal top, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sort of overwhelmed by sightings in the crowds. One smile (which I tried to reciprocate) made all the difference.

Saturday: Some Melting

Durango farm & ranch tripled-dyed cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, blue/white plaid thick-weave Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt T & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Friday: Sunny, Still All Just a Sheet of Ice

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots (insulated), flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, thin navy check shirt, thin navy thermal T, black union suit, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Cat is ok for us to leave for the sitter, so we're on for the weekend.

Thursday: It All Turned to Ice, Sunny, Howling Winds Now

LL Bean duck boots (picture?), black Carhartt jeans, thick blue stripe shirt, black polypropylene thermal top & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Duck Carhartt sweatshirt, bark Carhartt jacket, insulated police gloves.

Ice. Slip sliding away! And, do we get the car out by Saturday? Two day vacation, including a play in Da City.

Wednesday: Snow, Sleet, Rain, Awful

LL Bean duck boots (picture?), black Wrangler jeans, thin stripe blue shirt, black Carhartt thermal top & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Monday: Sunny, Cool, Windy

Redwing logger boots, Carhartt dark blue jeans, blue/white large plaid flannel shirt, lightweight neutral thermal T, blue/black stripe briefs found in a hotel drawer. usual Dickies socks.

Sick today, I only ventured out for lunch wearing Carhartt Arctic duck overpants instead of the jeans.

Worth venturing out if only for the sighting of some black logger boots with attitude (I wish mine -- pictured to the left -- matched the attitude).

Sunday: Relatively Warmer, Partly Cloudy

Black Nocona bullhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, white/tan/denim blue stripes (going the wrong way) western shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Several good-looking older guys in cowboy hats (a rare sight around here) today at Wal-Mart, mostly with sneakers, but one guy with strange short but under-slung cowboy boots -- interesting.

Saturday: Chilly, Less Wind

Brown Boulet bullhide bottom buckaroos, flannel lined brown Carhartt jeans, blue chambray Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal top, gray pouch briefs, other-than-the-usual Dickies socks.

I may have seen briefly glimpsed lizard cowboy boots under dress pants at symphony.

Friday: Frigid, Fairly Sunny

Carolina loggers (sorry, I'm in to the repeat of insulated boots), navy cords (like most of the other pants I've been wearing, too big because they've got to account for the layers underneath), blue medium stripe shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal T, black polypropylene bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I think I saw something today to blog about, but it's Friday and I just can't remember.

Thursday: Sun but Bitter Wind

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Wrangler jeans, medium navy stripe shirt, black Carhartt thermal top & bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Waiting in the wind for the bus tonight, cowboy boots worn by a guy who seemed to be enjoying them.

Wednesday: More Wind Than Predicted, Sunny and Cold

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, navy plain front cords, medium navy stripe shirt, white T, black union suit, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday: Really Cold and Sunny, But Not as Windy

Monday: Really Cold but Fairly Sunny

Carolina loggers, brown cords, maroon with cream/tan plaid flannel shirt, black Carhartt thermal top & bottom, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

So nice to see so many men in ill-fitting pants (bet you're wearing long underwear, too!).

My Blog is two years old today (and I'm now in, gasp, my "late 50s"). I'm going to drop the WordPress version. I'm not going to worry if it takes me several days to update the Blogger/Blogspot version. No other changes foreseen.

This year, the poetry is better than last year's.

It's my life and it's sure fun
Another season of my life's begun
Another race I'm glad I get to run
Another chapter of my life I'm writin’
No I'm never gonna feel like this again
Time's rushin’ by me like the wind
Gotta grab each moment that I can
Cause I'm never gonna feel like this again

--Philip Coleman/Paul Overstreet (as sung by Kenny Chesney)

Sunday: Chilly & Sunny

Black Nocona elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, black Wrangler shirt, navy light weight thermal T, another new pair of black briefs, usual Dickies socks. It was cold, but I wasn't out of the house or car much.

Passed a car pulled over by a MSP officer. He was not wearing a jacket (see, I do look above the boots). "Brr!," said I. "He looked like he had plenty of personal insulation," said better half.

Saturday: Dusting of Snow, Chilly but Clear

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, red/blue southwestern flannel shirt, red union suit, new black briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Several guys in nice logger boots in the supermarket, and a guy strutting in Carhartt duck thermal overalls, long sleeve T, cowboy hat, work boots.

Friday: Cloudy, Yet Another Bad Weather Forecast

Bates military, black Carhartt jeans, fine check red/blue on blue shirt, Carhartt neutral thermal top & bottom, previously-owned FTL briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I'm wiped. Arrival today of new Rocky zips to replace Rocky police boots. I need to figure out how to get them into donation status.

Early Thursday

Black Timberland PRO work boots, new black plain front cords, thin navy stripe shirt, white T & pouch briefs, another black union suits, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday: More Pleasant than Predicted

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, new navy plain front cords, new medium navy check shirt (a replacement for one that's fraying), white T, black union suit, white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Pleasant day for sightings, too.

Tuesday: In the Sun, Nice; In the Shade, Not Nice

Carolina loggers, flannel-lined Carhartt blue jeans, blue/white plaid heavy-weight Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Hairs cut.

Monday, Monday: Sunny but Cold

Chippewa logger boots (I haven't been wearing them much since I got my new contacts since I have to put on reading glasses to lace them up), black Carhartt jeans, black & white plaid flannel shirt, black thermal Carhartt top & bottoms, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Walking up the street to buy my lunch, a guy on the sidewalk was putting on his insulated coveralls. I could have used the same.

Sunday: Almost Balmy

Lucchese 2000 brown cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, blue denim western-style Carhartt shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Cowboy boot sighting (nice jeans, too) in an antique store (where I didn't buy a police hat).

Saturday: Tolerable

Brown Boulet cowboy boots (which I learned that the bottoms were bullhide when they were fondled before Christmas), brown flannel-lined Carhartt pants, black Carhartt thermal T, added light-weight black thermal bottoms for the evening, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I think it was a first in my standing outside a frequent Dunks watching guy footwear before a cultural event: cowboy boots, cream color, someone in my age range, blue jeans, it worked. Hmm...

Friday: Clear, The Big Chill

Black Timberland PRO work boots, brown medium wale cords, black/tan/white check Carhartt flannel shirt, thick black polypropylene bottoms and tops, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I got rides both to and from work, so no sightings at my favorite hole in the sidewalk. Sorry, but at wind chill at minus 10, it's ok for an aging guy to be a wimp. Besides, at that temperature, you know what would have been shrinking, anyway.

To warm me up when I got home, I watched this again.

Thursday: Fairly Sunny but Getting Colder

Rocky police boots (gotta stop buying cowboy boots and get a replacement for these), blue medium wale cords, black with matching blue check flannel shirt, black Carhartt thermal T and bottoms, gray pouch brief, usual Dickies socks.

I was planning to take a different bus today, but fate intervened, and I headed toward the usual one. Well, that meant passing the sidewalk site I observed yesterday. The cop wasn't there, but there was a third DPW guy -- slightly larger than 300 (man, I slowed down and got great view from the back). And, there was a fourth, at slightly under 200, whose clothes would more likely fit me. So, that was about 1100 pounds of construction manhood (and hard hats, and Wall's jackets, and sweatshirts, and jeans, and insulated coveralls) in a small space. If this gets to be much more tomorrow, I may not make it to work.

Wednesday: Partly Sunny and Tolerably Cold

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Carhartt jeans, thick stripe blue shirt, black Carhartt T, navy light-weight thermal bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

It was a great day for men sighting, as I should have realized by the 900 pounds shared by the cop and two city workers digging up the sidewalk when I turned the corner on my way to work.

Tuesday: More Gray & Cold Than Expected

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, brown flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, brown with red/blue/cream plaid check shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Monday: Flakey, Cloudy, Almost Bearibly

Carolina loggers, medium stripe navy shirt, black short pocket Bass pants, black thermal Carhartt T, light-weight black thermal bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday: Early Flakes, Sun, Clouds, Chilling Wind

Horsebutt chocolate and soft bone Olathe cowboy boots (vertigo I don't mind), black Wrangler jeans, red/white/black plaid flannel shirt, neutral thermal T & bottom. white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Several pairs of nice riding boots and one stunning pair of breeches in "The Cherry Orchard" -- oh, and Kate Burton was, as always, brilliant. Oh, and got home early enough for the 4th quarter, but, alas, the Pats just lost.

Saturday: Early Flakes, Then Sunny & Very Chilly Winds

Tan Justin cowboy boots, two-sizes larger Wrangler blue jeans, denim Carhartt shirt, black Carhartt thermal tops and bottoms, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Tan Carhartt zip sweat shirt, Carhartt duck coat with hood. With all that build-up in the pants area, kind of looking good down there. Getting better at finding it when I need to.

Lots of guys appropriately booted at Wal-Mart and the supermarket, and I wished I had got a better look at the guy with some kind of Chippewa heels and nicely stacked jeans.

Friday: Early Flakes, Then Sun, Almost Balmy

Bates military boots, black pleated pants, medium blue stripe shirt, neutral thermal Carhartt T, light-weight black thermal bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Frequently Fridays are days for smiles back and forth from men I do not know. I like it.

Thursday: Sunny & OK

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, medium wale navy cords, fine check blue shirt, black thermal Carhartt T and bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday: Cold as ...

Carolina loggers, brown medium cord pants, blue shirt, polypropylene T & pants, white briefs, usual Dickies socks. Carhartt tan zip sweat shirt. Carhartt Arctic duck (with hood) coat.

Sudden drop in temperature today. Meeting day. Trying to balance how cold it was with self-presentation.

Got an anniversary coming up. Thinking about changes. Suggestions? What is the best for you two or three readers? E-mail.

Tuesday: Back to Work, Getting Colder

Black Timberland PRO work boots, navy pleated Dockers pants, thick stripe blue shirt, white T, black union suit, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wearing a hood is so much fun.

Well, it's a Carhartt duck arctic hood (not leather, rubber, or spandex), but it snaps on to your coat and keeps your head and ears warm, stays on your head, and doesn't mess your hair up -- and some men look back to see if they know you, because they can't tell from the back or side.

Monday (Avoiding Ice to the North): Rain & Fog

Black Justin cowboy boots, flannel-lined Carhartt blue jeans, big blue check Carhartt shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Went shopping for button-down dress shirts at Brooks Brothers dressed that way.

Sunday: Gray, Cool, and Somewhat Wet

Chippewa briar pitstop arroyo boots (I know what "arroyo" means; I have no clue about "briar pitstop"), brown flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, dark red flannel shirt with cream and light red plaid, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, heavy-weight Carhartt socks.

The concert was very enjoyable -- I'm a big fan of the pianoforte -- two on the stage was absolutely wonderful -- and the 72 year-old conductor was hot. Scared the nun to my left when the handle of the umbrella on my lap popped out during the performance -- not Freudian. And, while not a good day for boot sightings, a nice day for male facial hair.

Saturday: Rain Clearing and 40's

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots (all day today, including the musical tonight; the TL problem last Saturday wasn't the boots but the socks; whew!), black Wrangler jeans, new black & white plaid flannel shirt, lightweight navy thermal long-sleeve T, black pouch briefs, thinner Dickies socks.

Warm enough to have a MSP sighting without a jacket (even my normal boot obsession was drawn to the French blue shirt). In spite of being out and about a good part of the day and evening, not much else.

Friday: Clear and Warmer

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, navy medium check shirt, navy long sleeve Carhartt T, gray pouch briefs, those other Dickies socks.

Thursday: Clear and Colder Than Yesterday

Rocky police boots, black Carhartt jeans, medium blue stripe shirt, black thermal Carhartt T & bottoms, gray boxer briefs [a lot of clothes to paw through when you gotta go, but I'm such a wimp in the cold weather], usual Dickies socks.

I'm continually amazed at how bright the yellow jackets are of the cops I see at work. Unfortunately, today the only sighting was from a window three stories above. The drunk construction workers wearing Carhartt jackets that passed me by at 5:10 at the bus stop were, however, priceless.

Wednesday: Clear and Even Colder

Black Timberland PRO work boots, navy pleated pants, dark navy fine check shirt, white T, black union suit, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday: Clear and Colder

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Bass pleated pants, medium navy plaid shirt I meant to give to Goodwill, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Today I got to relive 1876 (sometimes I think I'm that old) with its interesting ways of describing things: "He was a man of larger endowment and more varied attainments than was generally known."

Monday: Rain Day

Bates military boots, black pleated pants, medium blue stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks,

Got to relive 1989 today.

Sun-Day: 20 Degrees Colder but So Sunny

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, tan/brown/black plaid Carhartt flannel shirt, black T, black pouch briefs, found/used socks.

Cowboy boots, nice worn engineers, huge work boots at WalMart, and then nothing else.

Saturday Addendum: Cop Sighting

It's kind of sad that seeing the historical Boston Irish cop (probably a Sullivan) is a fading memory. Then, again, I watched one last night. Thought he looked old until I realized he could have been younger than me.

Saturday: 70 Degrees

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, purple/black plaid Carhartt shirt, black T, gray pouch briefs.

Changed into black bullhide Nocona boots (the TL's were giving me some slight trouble) and a white shirt (to look a little classier) for the evening out.

70 may not be the official temperature, but the car was displaying that several times today.

And, I cheated again by seeing cowboy boots (big ones -- well over size 12) in a boot store (needed Lexol; also bought a shirt on sale and a pair of larger Wranglers I can wear with long underwear; almost bought another belt, but decided I really do have too many).

Another Fried-day: Almost Balmy

Carolina loggers (aging, but still kinda fun -- oh, like me), black Carhartt jeans, fine navy check on blue shirt, navy Carhartt long-sleeve T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Actually, it was a good Friday, and I enjoyed my bus ride home, too (dirty mind still very active).

Early Thursday: Nice (and it's Jan.)

Bates military (permanent shine), black pleated pants, medium navy stripe shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Wednesday: Nice Weather!

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, navy pleated Dockers, wide (not wide-wide, just wider than the other ones) blue striped shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I think the boots I wear for work are somewhat jealous when I have those long stretches of cowboy boot wearing. Don't they understand their label numbers are higher?

Video (YouTube is having problems, this isn't always showing up even though I loaded it two days ago): Caramel Lucchese -- and, the non-boot stuff on this one is great -- think about a religious sect that thought equality between male and female was so sacred, it prohibited sex between genders.

Tuesday: Fairly Sunny & Windy

Black Timberland PRO work boots, black Carhartt jeans, fine navy check on light blue shirt, navy Carhartt long-sleeve T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Back to work -- oh, I remember work.

New Years Day: Rain, Fog, Fairly Warm

Durango triple-dyed ('cause they're practically waterproof), black Wrangler jeans, new dark red flannel shirt with cream and light red plaid (think tasteful 70s lumberjack), navy medium-weight thermal shirt, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I think I'm ready to order my next pair of cowboy boots (let's see how long the order will take). Sorry, guys, no poll. I've made up my mind.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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.

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!

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: 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: 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: 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: 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? 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: 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.

bullneck has it right.

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.

Friday: Almost Balmy

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

The first is what it really looks like; the second is a digital clean up.

Thursday: Sunny and Mild

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

Brief conversation about the loggers. two cowboy boot sightings.

Hump Wednesday: Threat of Big Rain Wrong

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

Another one:

Tuesday: Clear, Cool, Collected

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans, medium blue stripe and thin white stripe shirt, black Carhartt thermal T, black pouch 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: 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: 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.

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.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
