Good morning!!!!

[RoyJackson]

I've had a couple pair of Duluth pants, and several pair of their shorts, for over a year now. Most of them have those ridiculous flaps over the back pockets, held down with patches of Velcro. I can never seem to get my wallet to go back into those pockets without trying to stuff that flap in ahead of it. And of course the Velcro does its job and keeps me from succeeding. The material is also somewhat abrasive, making them a little harder to get on and off, and just a little irritating to the skin. Only one pair of the firehose pants here, and they are the worst in that regard. The Dry On The Fly are better, but nothing beats good ol' fashioned cotton denim for comfort.

I just got in a pair of Propper Men's HLX Pants with zipper back and side pockets, 8 pockets total for stashing all the EDC stuff without looking like GI Joe. Stretch panels at the sides, too, for a better fit.

I'm also trying out a pair of 5.11 Tactical TacLite Pro pants, again no flaps over the back pockets, but no zippers, either, and with cargo pockets on the legs. Both of these designs have dedicated pockets intended for cell phones, something I think I'm gonna like. But as Drew mentioned, I think I'd have trouble rolling around in the dirt in a pair of fifty dollar plus pants, and will stick to jeans for that. Which reminds me that laundry is on the todo list for today as well.

Try these:
LA Police Gear Mens Urban Ops Tactical Cargo Pants - Elastic WB - YKK Zipper - Coyote Brown - 36 x 3 at Amazon Men’s Clothing store
I have one pair....lighter weight material then the Duluth pants and they do have the elastic waistband for a little more comfort. Quite a bit less expensive too

Personally, I like the Velcro closures on the rear pockets. Definitely keep's one's wallet safer, but a PITA if you keep a comb in a rear pocket (which I do).

Lots of nice clothing, I need to explore a bit more...so much of mine is from gifts or wife picking up Kirkland jeans for me. Speaking of Kirkland, I just ordered some cases of Mobil 1 oil...$10 off per case, but it was also the free shipping that caught my eye...no need lugging them out of Costco to my truck if they'll bring 'em out here fer free. Also ordered some filters from Amazon...lots of oil changing in my future.

Roy, that's a nice holster.

Went to church online this morning.. felt crummy yesterday.. wife had a noise in front right wheel on her Tahoe, pulled tractor out of shop and left it run while I put Tahoe in, jacked it up, pulled the wheel off, removed rock from between shield and brake rotor, put wheel back on, put Tahoe in garage, put tractor away and was out of energy (it was <20F with 10-15mph winds).. Watched some streaming tv and movies, after dinner, daughter told me there was water on floor in laundry room.. floor is wet behind washer and under, was not able to determine source yet, will have a look this afternoon.

Stay safe, prayers for all.

Good morning! Cooler today at 57˚F cloudy.

Every once in a while there is a interesting bit of new information in the virus thread, now on version 4.0.
One was this link of a study on COVID-19, a study in Germany done to determine when the virus is most shedding.
People 'shed' coronavirus early, but most likely not infectious after recovery
"Shedding from the upper airways early in infection makes for a virus that is much harder to contain. The scientists said at peak shedding, people with Covid-19 are emitting more than 1,000 times more virus than was emitted during peak shedding of SARS infection, a fact that likely explains the rapid spread of the virus. The SARS outbreak was contained after about 8,000 cases; the global count of confirmed Covid-19 cases has already topped 110,000."

Tea increases the immune system, Coffee does not.
Study: Tea Boosts Immune System - CBS News

Another bit of information is that Gloves are more protective than mask to stop you from getting the virus, as long as you use the right method of removal.

My local Sam’s Club has been selling Dexos Sam’s club oil for $20 a case of 6 quarts. Last time I was there it was $15. Suppose to be same as Mobil 1 Full synthetic.

"....... as long as you use the right method of removal."- Don. Sadly most people do not understand "Universal Precautions" nor appropriate procedures. I saw 0% of anyone exercising any form of precautions during the President's TV speech yesterday: touching each other, shaking hands, close contact/proximity, touching/kissing the mike, podium etc. No role modeling there even by the health care professionals.

It's more than talk the talk, one must walk the walk.

I just received an email from my dentist. My (cleaning) appointment scheduled for next week has been cancelled. I was considering cancelling.

Similar problem. Tried to rake and blow leaves around house and pond. Wind blew leaves into pond I cleaned yesterday.
Back in house watching Furious 7 for 10th time.

BTW, I put two magazine through the CW380...American Eagle hardball. Ran fine, which is good news. Still, tough little bugger to rack the slide and I hope it'll ease up after a couple hundred rounds.

If the slide doesn't loosen up, can you use some jewelers rouge on it?
