Dammit, there goes another one…

I like Tru-Spec BDUs until they start to wear out – then they go downhill fast, and (on me, at least) they always fail first just above the left knee reinforcement. I have enough cut-off shorts, so – sigh…

I have a long strip of OD iron-on patch that has become standard procedure. Cut off the required amount, iron it on…

…then put on a podcast or an audiobook or a movie you don’t need to pay much attention to, and spend a tedious hour sewing around the edge. It’ll outlast the rest of the pants, which were already off the ‘wear it to town’ list anyway.

I wish I could find a link to the pair MM sent me a year or two ago. Those are still my nicest britches – but they don’t have a brand tag and I haven’t found them on Amazon.

I got a surprise at about four this morning. A big storm rolled in overnight and it must have gone on for a while before I woke up because I was having this very vivid dream about a big water leak. Then just when the whole thing erupted into the air in a huge geyser I was awakened to water crashing down on the bedroom’s metal roof. I got up and closed some windows then went back to bed – Poor Tobie probably had a bad rest of the dark time because there was some impressive thunder before I went back to sleep. We got another storm cell just before full light and when we went out for a pee…

The last cell was disappearing to the north…

…and the south looked all pretty and blue. The forecast calls for t-storms today and tomorrow, and in fact we’ve had a couple of sprinkles this afternoon. And just yesterday I thought Monsoon was over and I should take down the awning over the front bedroom window for winter. Guess I’ll wait.
