Pleasant Lunch Surprise

Headed out for a late (3pm) lunch at the local (just over a mile from me) Chili's. Pleasantly surprised to see these signs close to the main entrance. I grabbed one of the 2 so designated parking spaces.

For lunch, I had a lunch special - a side Caesar salad, double cheeseburgers, fries, and a pint of Kilt Lifter.

Boots and Jeans

I have had these white upper boots for some time.  It was time to wear them for a day.  Here. wearing with "Jack's Treads" slim fit, button-fly jeans.  I have to wear the jeans tucked into the boots.  Legs of the jeans are too tight to wear the jeans over the boots.

Cuffed or Not

According to the internet, Jeans should NOT be cuffed with boots. I will buck the trend. For straight-leg Wranglers or Levis (especially 501s), I think the jeans look better CUFFED with boots. Obviously, boot-cut jeans should NOT be cuffed.

Photo here shows a pair of Wranglers, cuffed, with western boots. Yeah, I love my jeans and boots.

BTW, my "to-go" store is Boot Barn.

Waterproof Boots

More boots.  Waterproofed, "Winter" boots.  These are "Fields & Stream" boots from Dick's Sporting Goods.  Shown here wearing with digital camo button-fly BDU's.  BDU's from one of the surplus stores in Albuquerque

Paratroop Boots

Yup, another new pair of boots.  Had been looking at these paratroop boots by Bates for some time.  I finally had some time where I could order and take delivery of these boot.

Side zipper, 11" boots with a polishable toe.  Felt a little festive when I wore my red digital camo BDU pants.  I have an old pair of the boots that are very similar, but they are old and starting to degrade, enough that I do not wear them.

BBD's

Had an awesome bacon-cheeseburger at BBD's in the Palace Station. The burger accompanied by crinkle fries. I had it washed down with 2 pints of "The Drift" ale from Yorkshire Square Brewery in Torrence, CA.

Ujfortunately, the price was awesomely high - 27$.

Las Vegas Bound

One the road again.  Drove to Las Vegas with cousin for his West Coast Pipe Show.  Has breakfast/lunch in Williams, AZ.

Got off the highway to check out the "almost" ghost town of Chloride, AZ.  Used the facilities and bought a book at the little general store and Tourist Information.  I had sto[[ed in this town on a previous trip, several years ago.

We got lost in Las Vegas rush-hour traffic.  Eventually got to the hotel,checked in and moved into the room.  Visited, had a couple bottle of beer and slice of pizza.  Then I hit the sack.
